One Piece: Don't Worry, I'm a Doctor - Chapter 390: Miracle Doctor!
Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Miracle Doctor!
While Neptune was deep in thought, Vir finally spoke up and revealed his true intentions.
“Neptune, right? If this is truly difficult for you, then as Shirahoshi’s attending physician, I must take responsibility.”
“If you don’t mind, I can take Shirahoshi to the surface for you!”
Vir’s expression was deliberately ’troubled’ as he spoke.
His words left the two before him utterly speechless.
Neptune immediately waved his hands in refusal.
“How could we possibly trouble you with—”
*Slap!*
Before Neptune could finish, Vir’s hand landed on his shoulder.
At that moment, Vir’s expression turned unusually serious.
“Neptune, you don’t know me well. But every patient I’ve treated has made a full recovery. Since my debut, I’ve maintained a 100% cure rate. I hope you won’t make this difficult.”
After saying that, Vir gave Neptune’s shoulder another pat.
Neptune might not have known, but Jinbe had indeed heard of this before.
It seemed Vir really did have a 100% cure rate—no one had ever disproven it!
Who would’ve thought that, for the sake of his perfect record, he’d go this far for his patients!
A doctor like this was truly one in a million!
Seeing Neptune still looking dumbfounded, Jinbe stepped in and answered for him.
“Brother Vir, your dedication to your patients is something I’ve long heard of! Seeing it today, I now know the rumors were true!”
“Since you’ve gone this far, of course we’d be happy to accept. But this is really too much trouble for you—are you sure it’s alright?”
Jinbe’s words made Neptune nod repeatedly in agreement.
“Yes! Won’t this be too much of a burden on you?”
“No trouble at all! I’m just responsible for keeping her safe. Once she’s better, I’ll bring her right back.”
“In the meantime, I’ll be handling my own business. She’ll just be a little tagalong, maybe even help out with some chores.”
Finally, a smile appeared on Vir’s face.
This was going smoothly.
Almost too smoothly.
Ah, whatever! At this point, he was already a world-renowned doctor. If he couldn’t even fool a couple of fishmen, he might as well quit!
“Really?!”
Just then, an excited voice came from the bed.
Shirahoshi poked her head out, her face—which had been tear-stained for two whole days—now lit up with joy!
“F-Father… I can really go?”
Realizing she might be acting too eager, Shirahoshi quickly reined in her smile and asked shyly.
Seeing Shirahoshi happy again, Neptune was overjoyed!
The doctor’s words were absolutely right! Just the mere suggestion had already cured half her illness!
A miracle doctor—this man was truly a miracle doctor!
He had diagnosed her condition at a glance and immediately provided the only viable solution!
Really, how could they ever repay him?
“Yes. Yes, you can.”
Neptune nodded firmly in response to Shirahoshi’s question.
The moment she got her answer, Shirahoshi’s joy became unmistakable.
The fear in her eyes when looking at Vir had also lessened.
This human… had actually convinced her father to agree.
He… he was amazing.
His name was Vir, right? Vir-sama was incredible…
Was she really going to the surface with him? To amusement parks, to see forests, to buy delicious food…
But why was he being so kind to her?
This was their first meeting—could it really just be because he was her doctor?
How could there be such a good doctor in the world? This doctor was nothing like the ones before.
Well… except that he looked a little scary…
Meanwhile, Neptune and Jinbe quickly expressed their gratitude. After all, Vir was helping them out in a big way.
Watching this scene, Vir couldn’t help but feel a little amused.
’Heh. And they’re even thanking me for it!’
“Shirahoshi, pack your things quickly. We’ll set off soon—your condition can’t be delayed any further.”
With that, Vir led Neptune and the others out, leaving Shirahoshi alone in the room.
There was nothing else for him in Fish-Man Island. Now that the matter was settled, he wouldn’t stay a minute longer than necessary once Shirahoshi was ready.
After all, he still had business waiting for him above.
Once he treated that red-haired guy caught by Whitebeard’s crew, it would be time to report to Marine Headquarters.
That’s right—Shirahoshi would be coming with him.
He’d let her experience the taste of justice firsthand!
Justice Fish! Fearless and bold!
As soon as everyone left, Shirahoshi could no longer hold back her smile.
Her pink cheeks paired with that sweet grin made the youthful, curvaceous princess absolutely adorable.
She rolled out of bed, finally free from the blankets that had trapped her for two days.
Pulling out a large suitcase she had prepared long ago, she happily began stuffing it with everything she wanted to bring.
“This is wonderful! Shirahoshi gets to go to the surface! Vir-sama is amazing, Vir-sama is so kind~ La la la~ La la la la~”
It was clear just how overjoyed she was.
Outside the room, Neptune began discussing the specifics.
“Are you really planning to take her up like this? Her appearance might cause you a lot of trouble.”
Neptune’s expression darkened slightly.
After all, calling his own daughter a walking disaster didn’t sit right with him.
“Don’t worry, I’ve got a solution.”
“I can temporarily turn her into a human. Her size can also be adjusted to normal. You don’t need to worry—once she’s better, I’ll bring her back.”
Vir’s response immediately shut Neptune up.
Honestly, Vir had thought of everything—Neptune had nothing left to add.
Not only was he willing to take care of his daughter, but he could even turn her human and shrink her size.
Though Neptune found it hard to believe, Vir had already done far too many unbelievable things.
If he said he could do it, there was no reason to doubt him.
Men of his caliber didn’t make empty boasts.
But wouldn’t something like this be incredibly valuable? Why hadn’t Vir mentioned any compensation at all?
From the moment he arrived, he hadn’t brought up rewards even once. Had he forgotten?
Neptune grew anxious.
Before long, a timid Shirahoshi pushed the door open and stepped out.
Her cautious movements made her look like she was sneaking around.
She was terrified that the moment she opened the door, no one would be outside again.
And then, just as she was about to close it, a crowd would suddenly rush in.
At this point, Shirahoshi had developed a full-blown phobia of opening doors.
Thankfully, this time, three figures were standing right outside—making her sigh in relief.
Carrying a large bag, she slowly pushed the door open and walked out.
Still somewhat fearful of the outside world, she stood before Vir with her head lowered, too nervous to speak.
But after steeling herself, she finally mustered the courage to address him.
“Vir-sama… I-I’m ready.”
