One Piece: Don't Worry, I'm a Doctor - Chapter 274: Vir’s Struggles…
Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Vir’s Struggles…
And what Vir had been working on these past few days… was actually meant for someone else.
Douglas Bullet.
As for how to break through this guy’s defenses—someone who neither cared about pride nor feared any kind of pain—and inflict psychological trauma on him,
Vir had pondered for a long time.
This type of patient was the kind he disliked the most.
Let’s just say the ability wasn’t easy to obtain.
After racking his brains, Vir finally came up with an answer.
The only thing that guy cared about was strength.
He firmly believed that power was the supreme law.
True strength came only from oneself.
He utterly despised those who relied on alliances and factions.
Since he cared so much about his own power.
Then it was simple.
Take that strength away, and let’s see how he feels about that.
For a training maniac like him, this would be absolutely unacceptable.
Collapse, devastation, disbelief, rage, despair—a flood of negative emotions would follow.
Psychological trauma would be a given.
But how could he strip Bullet of his strength during treatment?
The most straightforward method was to cripple him outright.
But… that didn’t feel quite right.
No grudges, no enmity.
First meeting.
If he crippled someone during treatment…
Even though Vir was violent—even brutal—
He hadn’t yet sunk to the point of doing anything for power.
If it were an enemy, he wouldn’t care.
He’d do whatever he wanted, however he wanted.
Maximum benefit was the priority.
But that guy wasn’t so bad.
Vir had no grudge against him.
No need.
So instead, he used some high-grade medicinal ingredients from the system to concoct a potion that perfectly solved the problem.
Who said losing strength had to be real?
What’s wrong with the world of illusions?
[Strong Hallucinogen]
Effect: Causes the patient to fall into a hallucination where they perceive their strength gradually draining away.
Price: Not for sale.
Evaluation: It’s a fine piece of work, though the research direction might’ve gone a bit… off course~
This thing was perfect for Bullet.
Or rather, it was tailor-made for him.
Those materials had cost him a full 1,000,000 points.
But considering the immense benefits Bullet would provide, Vir didn’t mind.
This small cost was completely acceptable.
Bullet was a treasure trove.
His talent was practically on par with Kaido’s.
At least Kaido had his lineage factor going for him.
But Bullet? He relied entirely on himself.
This was a monster who, at eighteen years old, could fight evenly with prime Rayleigh.
His talent might even surpass Luffy’s.
Eighteen years old.
Mastery of all three Haki types, an incredibly powerful physique, and the Clank-Clank Fruit.
Tsk tsk.
It was hard to imagine how strong he’d be if not for those twenty years in prison.
Whether it was his overwhelmingly brutal physique, his top-tier Haki, or that fusion-type Devil Fruit—
All of it would be extremely useful to Vir.
In terms of negative points, he probably wouldn’t surpass Shiki or Whitebeard.
Those two were in the same league.
Both were on par with Roger in strength.
Even by the time Roger died, Bullet had never managed to defeat him, which showed he was still a step below Whitebeard and the others.
Looking at the finished hallucinogen in his hand, Vir stored it in his medical kit.
The preparation table, tools, and medical kit all returned to the Going Merry.
The medical kit could also be stored on the ship.
Seeing Vir start packing up, Hancock finally showed a faint smile.
Finally done?
Wonderful!
These past few days, Vir had barely eaten anything.
Hancock had been worried about his health.
“Vir, are you hungry? I saved some food for you. Would you like some?”
Hancock gazed at him with concern.
Hearing this, Vir nodded.
He was hungry.
But… he had hands.
Hancock was being too enthusiastic.
The moment Vir nodded, Hancock immediately bundled up the messy table—along with Luffy, who was still eating—into the tablecloth and tossed them into a corner.
Like magic, within three seconds, the table was once again covered in steaming hot dishes.
Vir was stunned.
Do all women have secret storage spaces or something?
Where did this come from?!
He hadn’t seen it earlier!
With Luffy around, there was no way the food the Marines delivered would have leftovers.
So… where did this come from?
Vir walked over in a daze and slowly sat down.
“It’s still hot… How did you preserve it?”
He couldn’t help but ask.
What’s more, everything on the table was his favorite.
He was genuinely impressed by Hancock’s memory.
They’d only eaten together once at her place.
And she remembered.
This was…
“I turned it to stone.” Hancock said, glancing at Luffy. “Otherwise, that guy would’ve eaten everything.”
The moment she did, her right leg snapped up!
*WHAM!*
A certain airborne rubber boy was successfully intercepted mid-flight.
Hearing this, Vir finally understood.
Ah, right.
She can turn things to stone.
If she could petrify parts of Pacifistas, preserving food shouldn’t be hard.
Looking at the steaming bowl of braised pork rice on the table, Vir chuckled and shook his head.
“Thanks, Hancock.”
As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and started eating.
The moment those words left his mouth, Hancock clutched her chest and swayed, one hand pressed to her forehead as she dramatically collapsed onto the sofa.
’He… he said my name for the second time!’
’He even thanked me…’
’No! Everything I do for him… it’s only natural!’
’As long as he likes it… that’s enough!’
’Next time, I’ll cook it all myself!’
’Being with Vir… I’m so fulfilled!’
“Here! Your favorite white peach juice!”
“These are sweet, crispy apples! I threw the not-so-sweet ones at that guy over there.”
“You don’t like desserts, so I fed those to him too. I also had them make extra pork rice!”
“The first time, they even brought venison! I already scolded them for it!”
“There’s also plenty of your favorite pan-fried dumplings here. Come, eat up!”
“These are grapes—I brought them from Amazon Lily! Here, let me feed you—”
Honestly?
Vir was starting to panic.
This was too much enthusiasm.
Oh man.
No way.
This was not okay.
He couldn’t handle this!
Sure, Hancock might be a lovestruck fool, but being the object of her affection? This was way too blissful.
Even Vir, a man of absolute steel-level denseness, the most extreme kind—
Was starting to buckle under the pressure.
“Alright, alright, Hancock. I can handle it myself. You haven’t eaten either, right? Have some too.”
Vir quickly interjected.
Hancock had been watching over him all this time and hadn’t eaten much herself.
Hearing this, Hancock—who had been holding a grape, waiting for him to open his mouth—blushed even harder.
’Vir… wants me to eat from the same plate as him…’
’Isn’t that basically a proposal?!’
’I’m… I’m so happy~’
