Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Momousagi’s Cousin
However, Vir absolutely could not use his spatial abilities to send Luffy over.
Whether it was the big shots on the battlefield or Kong sitting pretty in the rear, any hint of his powers could blow his cover.
Well, maybe not blow his cover outright.
But the moment someone sensed spatial fluctuations, wouldn’t that scream, “Vir’s making a move”?
If he made a move, it meant he was here.
And if he was here, then suddenly another person with an extremely brutal method appeared to treat the wounded on the field—wouldn’t everyone’s first thought be that it was him in disguise?
But the opposite was true.
If he left no trace at all and used methods completely unrelated to what he had shown the Marines before, he could probably slip under the radar.
Well, probably.
As for how probable? That depended on how well he executed it.
His main targets were really just a few.
First, Old Man Whitebeard—though it was unlikely he’d get taken down by the enemy.
Difficult, but a man had to have dreams.
Then there were Marco, Ace, and Jozu.
Later, he’d disguise himself as a Marine.
When saving his own people, he’d be by-the-book, using standard methods.
But when it came to those four? Well, it wouldn’t exactly be saving them.
At the very least, it couldn’t look like saving.
No, it’d be more like—stabbing wildly with a long blade and stir-frying them in flames!
If he “treated” them like that, would anyone think he was actually healing them?
Hell no! They’d think he was fighting desperately to kill the enemy!
Picture this: his blade flashing, eighteen slashes a second!
Eighteen slashes!
And that iron wok?
Cooking four at once!
Four in one pot!
Those damn pirates must’ve broken this poor kid’s heart!
His parents were probably slaughtered by these pirates, right?
Too brutal!
Single-handedly taking on four enemy commanders!
Promotion! Raise!
He had to get a promotion and a raise!
Mhm.
That’s probably how it’d play out—at least, to the untrained eye.
Then, he’d give Whitebeard and the others some aura-altering medicine.
Even if he healed them, their weakened auras wouldn’t instantly recover.
Instead, it’d seem like they had some hidden trump card—after he finished “treating” them, they’d suddenly return to peak condition after a few lines of dialogue.
Perfect.
Absolutely perfect.
And he’d even be credited as the one who forced the enemy to reveal their secret weapon.
Was this plan a bit old-fashioned?
Old where? It’s brilliant.
Let’s do this!
First step: send these four good brothers to the battlefield.
As for how to send them…
Simple!
“Luffy! Get ready! I’m sending you guys over!”
The moment Vir said that, Luffy looked confused.
Something about those words gave him a bad feeling.
How was Vir planning to send them?
Before he could think further, Vir suddenly grabbed Buggy—who was still unconscious after being punched a few times—off the ground.
“Here! Hold him and grab your two other buddies!”
Under Vir’s direction, Luffy quickly followed instructions.
Buggy, still dazed, groggily opened his eyes.
Before he could process what was happening, he heard Luffy’s voice.
“Then what? How do we—”
But before Luffy could finish, Buggy’s blurry vision caught sight of a suddenly enlarged leg swinging straight at him!
The sight shocked Buggy so much his eyes nearly popped out!
He tried to dodge, but Luffy had him hogtied!
What the hell?!
WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!
Before Buggy could even scream—
*BAM!*
A dull impact echoed as Buggy felt like his ass had been hit by not one, but ten trains!
The pain was so intense his vision went black, and he immediately howled!
“AAAAAHHHH! IT HURTS! AAAARGH!”
“Quit whining. It’s not that bad. Want me to patch up your butt later?”
Buggy blinked, confused.
’Wait. Shouldn’t I be airborne already?’
’How am I still hearing his voice?’
’He wants to fix my butt?!’
Buggy immediately shut up.
When he opened his eyes, four figures were already soaring through the sky.
Only his head had stayed behind…
The kick had been so strong it separated his head from his body.
Before he could say anything, a stretching arm extended toward him.
Bad news: It was just a little too short!
Good news: It could reach his nose.
One second later—
“AAAAAHHH! MY NOSE! DON’T PULL MY NOSE, DAMMIT!”
Watching the group fly away, Vir sighed.
“Good luck.”
From here on out, they were on their own.
He hadn’t just kicked them—he’d also used the Float-Float Fruit to assist.
They’d land right at the edge of the battlefield.
The Float-Float Fruit couldn’t affect living beings directly, but he’d used it on their clothes.
Same effect.
With that done, Vir activated his Observation Haki and extended it toward the center of the battlefield.
What? You’re wondering why he dared use his Observation Haki now?
Well, after his battle with Zero, Vir’s already high-tier Observation Haki had finally broken through to the advanced level.
Zero’s Observation Haki was ridiculously strong.
Fighting him had rapidly accelerated Vir’s growth in this area.
With advanced Observation Haki and his current 19-point Spirit stat, he could now precisely control the range of his mental scan.
He could observe whoever he wanted and block whoever he wanted from sensing him.
Extremely convenient.
His Observation Haki quickly spread out.
Aside from a few Admiral-level fighters, everyone else’s voices flooded into Vir’s mind.
The sheer volume would’ve overwhelmed a weaker mind, but his Spirit stat was more than enough to handle it.

Battlefield – Marine Side
Medical Camp
“Hurry! Faster! There are four with broken legs and one knocked out by cannon fire over there!”
“My buddy’s little brother got blown off! We need a doctor! Save him!”
“DAMN IT! My brother’s balls got ripped off! It’s bleeding everywhere! Some psycho bit them off!”
“If your current patient’s stable, then get back out there and drag more in! Don’t screw up now—we finish this and everyone gets 500,000 Berries bonus!”
The chaotic shouts and constant movement made the place feel like a madhouse.
At the center of the camp, a bald but still burly old man calmly directed the chaos.
His hair was white, sparse, and clearly clinging to life.
He was the best doctor here—effectively the hospital director.
As he barked orders, the doctors whose patients were stable immediately rushed back to the battlefield.
Normally, there were specialized units for retrieving the wounded.
But unfortunately, Whitebeard’s earlier assault had wiped them all out.
Now, the doctors themselves had to venture out to drag people back.
Luckily, Whitebeard’s crew didn’t hassle the medics. The enemies they downed weren’t getting up anytime soon, so they didn’t care if they were saved.
“DAMN IT, BALDY! I QUIT! What’s the damn point?! Our shitty medical skills can’t even get people back on their feet immediately! We’re useless in this battle!”
A furious voice rang out behind the bald director.
Without turning, he already knew who it was.
Chiba.
The most troublesome young man in the camp.
But he hadn’t always been like this.
The kid had talent in medicine and had improved rapidly.
But ever since that Vir guy appeared, everything changed.
Chiba started believing traditional medicine was garbage.
Too slow, too ineffective.
Nothing compared to Vir’s instant-healing methods.
It shattered his faith.
“What the hell have I been learning all this time?!”
“This is just shit!”
He nearly quit on the spot.
But thanks to his cousin’s intimidation, he held off.
Oh, his cousin?
That would be Momousagi (Gion).
Under her “gentle persuasion”, he temporarily gave up on his plans to quit, train as a top-tier Marine, and sail out under the excuse of “capturing Vir”—just to beg the man to take him in as a disciple.
But now?
It seemed like he couldn’t hold back anymore.
He wanted to test himself in this massive battle to grow stronger.
But this wasn’t some playground.
People died in an instant here.
Thinking this, the old director Rogu continued working without turning his head.
“Don’t be an idiot! You’ll get yourself killed, and then your sister will kill me for not stopping you!”
“This is the most brutal war in history! You step out there, and you might get obliterated before you even blink!”
But after speaking, Rogu realized—there was no response.
He turned.
Chiba was already gone.
The few remaining hairs on Rogu’s head nearly fell out from sheer terror.
“I don’t care if he dies, but he’s Momousagi’s cousin!”
No choice—he had to inform her.
“Someone! Call Chiba’s sister! Tell her he’s gone out to get himself killed!”
“If she doesn’t answer, forget it!”
With that, Rogu returned to work.
Nobody had time to spare.
The call was just a formality—”I tried, you didn’t pick up.”
With the armies clashing, Momousagi was probably busy holding the line.
Not answering was normal.
That’s all he could do.
“That damn brat! What a pain in the ass! Thinks he’s invincible with a few tricks. What an idiot!”
Rogu shook his head.
Yeah, Chiba had trained with his cousin.
He wasn’t weak.
But “not weak” wasn’t enough.
At best, he was Commodore-level?
And even that was generous.
In this war? A single stray punch could flatten him.
Sigh.
Whatever.
Hope he survives.
Meanwhile, our dashing young man Chiba had already stepped outside.
And the moment he did, he froze.
Because standing before him was a painfully familiar figure.
This guy…
Why the hell does he look exactly like his idol?!
