One Piece: Don't Worry, I'm a Doctor - Chapter 395: The Damage is Way Too High...

Chapter 395: Chapter 395: The Damage is Way Too High…

Looking at the blood on his hand, Vir’s face darkened.

Damn, so it wasn’t just the feeling of a nosebleed.

It had already happened.

He had to admit, the scene just now was… well, a little too much.

Even a seasoned veteran like him nearly—no, actually—lost his composure.

Pulling out tissues from the medical kit, Vir hurriedly wiped his nose.

Behind him, Shirahoshi was still marveling at her shrunken body.

She didn’t even bother with the coat he had tossed her.

Experiencing the world from this shorter perspective, looking up at Vir—who was now taller than her—her eyes sparkled with excitement.

She’d really shrunk!

She had legs now! She’d really become human!

Shirahoshi couldn’t stop smiling.

“Vir-sama! I really got smaller! That thing actually worked!”

Hearing her voice, Vir—who had just finished cleaning the blood—assumed she had covered herself.

But the moment he turned around, he was met with Shirahoshi’s utterly delighted and adorably clueless expression as she examined her own body.

Pale, smooth skin…

Occasionally, she even gave her own little butt a pinch.

Do you have any idea how lethal this sight is to a man’s sanity?

Vir nearly ascended to the afterlife on the spot.

Unable to “endure” it any longer, Vir—eyes wide—picked up the coat from the ground and personally draped it over Shirahoshi.

Covering that lethally dangerous body of hers.

The moment Vir’s hand touched her shoulder, Shirahoshi finally snapped out of her euphoria over becoming human!

Looking down at the white coat now covering her, her face turned as red as an apple at visible speed.

“Eeeek—!!”

With a shriek, she immediately crouched down, clutching the only piece of fabric shielding her.

Now, Shirahoshi didn’t even dare to look at Vir!

’What did I just do?! I didn’t even realize I wasn’t wearing anything… Vir-sama saw everything… What do I do now?!’

’Even the mark on my chest… He saw it…’

Her face burned crimson, steam practically rising from her head.

“Uh, you should go put some clothes on!” Vir quickly reminded her.

But the moment he said it, he realized something.

Where would Shirahoshi even get clothes? No—where would she get clothes that fit her now?

Helpless, Vir could only grab a few of his own outfits from the Going Merry and hand them to her.

“Here, take these and go change.”

Shirahoshi, still staring at the ground, saw the hand extending toward her, and her already flushed cheeks turned even redder.

Slowly raising her head, she peeked at Vir—who was deliberately looking away—and, seeing that he wasn’t reacting too strongly, gingerly accepted the clothes.

Then she tried to stand up to return to her room.

But the moment she did, she immediately stumbled and fell.

The reason was simple: her new legs weren’t something she knew how to use yet.

And that put Vir—who was standing nearby—through absolute agony.

After struggling for a while, she finally managed to make her way inside.

Only then did Vir finally relax.

Taking a few deep breaths, he tried to calm his raging emotions.

Glancing at the palace’s rather pleasant scenery, he finally cooled down.

This girl… She’s too much.

Is this how you test a man’s willpower?!

Thankfully, Vir had ironclad mental fortitude. If it had been anyone else today, who knows how things would’ve ended up.

Not long after, Jinbe and Neptune returned.

Both of them were still confused about what had happened.

One moment, they were there—the next, they inexplicably found themselves far from the palace.

They recognized it as Vir’s doing, but why had he suddenly done that?

They were completely baffled.

Shirahoshi’s massive garments had already been stashed away inside the Going Merry—specifically, in Vir’s own room.

This was to prevent Chiba from getting any funny ideas.

Another reason was that if these two saw those clothes now, Vir would have no way to explain himself.

The moment Shirahoshi showed signs of shrinking, Vir had instantly teleported the two away.

So they genuinely had no idea what had happened.

Seeing them return, Vir didn’t even wait for them to ask—he immediately launched into an explanation.

“Ahem! Sorry about that. I accidentally tripped earlier, and my ability activated by mistake. And, uh, it just happened to send you two flying. Yeah, total accident.”

“But don’t worry—Shirahoshi’s ’human transformation’ plan was a success. I’ve already taught her how to be human properly.”

His words left the two stunned.

Huh? An accident? And all these ’accidents’ just happened to line up?

Even if it sounded ridiculous—no, beyond ridiculous—

Ridiculous enough to tear your uncle’s underwear to shreds!

Even if they knew it was a blatant lie, what could they do?

As long as Shirahoshi was safe, nothing else mattered.

Vir wouldn’t hurt her, after all.

Just as they were talking, Shirahoshi slowly emerged from behind the massive doors.

But the sight of her now made Neptune and Jinbe’s eyes nearly pop out of their sockets!

Their first thought: So small!

Shirahoshi now only reached up to Vir’s chin—around 160 to 170 cm tall.

A perfectly normal height for a human woman.

But when their gazes traveled downward and they saw those slender, well-proportioned legs, the two of them erupted in shock!

“Th-this… She really became human?!”

“In all my years… I’ve never witnessed such a miracle! A mermaid turning into a human!”

“Not only did she grow legs, but she even shrank down to this size!”

“Brother Vir… Was this really all because of that one phrase and that little gesture earlier?! This is unbelievable!”

Neptune almost didn’t recognize her.

Jinbe was equally stunned.

They never expected that such a tiny, simple thing could produce such an incredible miracle!

Was this even within the realm of medicine?! It felt like it had nothing to do with medical science.

No—Vir must’ve gone through great lengths to obtain this miraculous item from somewhere.

The moment Neptune thought of that, he felt even more indebted to Vir.

Something like this had to be priceless!

Yet Vir had just… given it to Shirahoshi for free.

Neptune had no idea how to even begin repaying him.

“Father…”

Shirahoshi greeted Neptune softly, but as she spoke, her eyes flickered toward Vir.

The moment she saw him, her cheeks flushed pink again.

It was then that Neptune and Jinbe noticed the clothes she was wearing.

Those were… men’s clothes.

Human men’s clothes, at that.

And in this place, there was only one person who fit that description.

As they pieced it together, three pairs of eyes turned to Vir…
