One Piece: Don't Worry, I'm a Doctor

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: They’re Back… Really Back!

Chapter 255: They’re Back… Really Back!

Shiki was truly convinced now.

He couldn’t help but feel he’d been a bit too loud with his earlier boasts.

But what Vir was doing right now left everyone else utterly baffled.

“What the heck is he doing? Is this some kind of treatment? Why is he holding a shovel—what’s that even for?”

Elder Nyon couldn’t make sense of it at all.

She genuinely didn’t understand.

Or rather, from the very beginning until now—

She hadn’t understood a single thing.

Everything had been shrouded in mystery.

It looked like treatment, but at the same time, it seemed to have nothing to do with healing whatsoever.

If anything, it resembled more of a back-alley butcher shop—like someone slaughtering a pig, chopping up meat, or grinding it into mince.

In short, there was no way to tell what was happening.

Hancock watched without blinking.

This was the first time she had seen such a bizarre “treatment”.

But the reason she was staring so intently wasn’t to gain knowledge.

It was… to understand Vir a little better.

What a strange train of thought.

The others, though equally clueless about Vir’s actions, at least knew him well enough.

They understood that this was a treatment.

You didn’t need to comprehend it.

Or rather, it was impossible for you to comprehend.

If you could grasp a master’s methods at a glance, how could they even be called a master?

All you had to do was wait for the results and then let your jaw drop.

And soon, as time passed—

Shiki’s new legs gradually took shape.

At a glance, they now unmistakably resembled legs.

And as the poison’s effects weakened, his strength rapidly returned.

Vir noticed immediately.

Not that he had anything to say about it.

Five minutes. Not bad.

For a powerhouse like Shiki, being immobilized for five minutes was already absurd.

Vir was quite satisfied with this poison.

Might use it again sometime.

Looking at the legs, which now had a clear form, Vir stopped his work.

He began putting his tools away, one by one.

All done.

Just like that, the old legs were restored.

The Vibro-Blade’s effect wasn’t half bad.

Unconsciously, Vir thought of Ace.

If, during the Summit War…

Ace got his chest pierced again…

Tears streaming down his face as he slumped over Luffy’s shoulder…

Just as he was about to utter his last words…

Then suddenly boom—Vir kicks Luffy flying, takes his place, and starts jabbing Ace with the Vibro-Blade.

His expression would definitely be priceless.

Thinking this, Vir checked the blade’s durability.

[Durability: 81]

The result made him grimace.

It dropped by nineteen points?!

That’s way too much!

All he did was stab Shiki… what, one, two, three, four… seven hundred and sixty-four times?

Was that really enough to drain this much durability?

System, isn’t this a bit excessive?!

Vir was not happy.

[…]

The System only responded with dots.

With a thought, Vir closed the system interface and sighed.

This thing really doesn’t have many uses left.

Gotta be careful with it.

Still, Shiki’s case was extreme—two whole legs, weighing over ten pounds.

For smaller injuries, it might not consume as much durability.

That was somewhat acceptable.

With that, Vir sheathed the Vibro-Blade.

And in that short time—

Shiki’s legs had fully reconnected.

He even felt like he could stand up right now!

The sensation left him in disbelief.

These legs were just reattached!

There’s no adaptation period? No recovery time?

They’re usable immediately? How?!

Yet the feeling was undeniable.

Finally, Shiki decided to test them.

Slowly, he sat upright.

Bent his knees.

Placed a hand on the ground, pushed—

And tried to stand.

But he failed.

Not because his legs broke again.

Just because they were… new.

*Thud*

His rear hit the floor with a dull sound.

But that single motion made everyone’s eyes widen.

What?!

He’s trying to stand?!

Already?!

No way!

Sure, his legs looked complete now, but just five minutes ago, they were mush.

How could he possibly stand so soon?

Shiki is being too impatient!

Just because he can feel his legs doesn’t mean they’re ready!

He should at least rest a bit!

What if he ruins his newly restored legs?

Everyone watched with worry.

Then—

A figure darted to Shiki’s side.

It was Jina, looking just as concerned for her father.

She, too, understood what that movement meant.

His legs really were healed.

But attempting to stand now seemed reckless.

Just as she was about to speak—

Shiki slammed his right palm against the ground.

The force propelled him straight up—

And he stood.

Firm. Unshaken. Not a single wobble.

Staring down at his feet, he wiggled his toes.

Watched as fine hairs began sprouting on his skin.

His entire body trembled.

Breath quickened.

Eyes locked onto his feet, he said nothing.

Then—he took a step.

And another.

He was convinced.

He had thought it was just a sensation.

But now, reality proved otherwise.

His “new” old legs were solid.

Five minutes ago, they were pulp.

Now, with every passing second, they synced with his body.

The strength in them grew—

Rapidly.

Shiki’s face twisted in disbelief.

Too fast.

The power is returning too fast!

It’s back!

Everything is coming back!

His hands trembled.

The pain was intense!

In just a few seconds, the surge of power stopped.

His legs had fully regained the strength they once had.

The familiar sensation.

The long-lost feeling.

Under the stunned gazes of everyone present—

Shiki slowly raised his right foot.

Then—his expression turned ferocious.

An invisible pressure erupted from him.

The air grew heavy.

Behind him, the phantom of a massive golden lion flickered into existence.

His foot slammed down—

As if unleashing decades of pent-up fury!

*BOOM!*

But the ground didn’t collapse.

Instead—

A ten-centimeter-wide fissure split the earth in front of him.

The surrounding ground remained intact.

Not even a single tile was cracked.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Then—

A Den Den Mushi rang.

“What is it?!”

Hancock answered.

“Empress! A crack about ten centimeters wide just split through the entire island! We suspect it’s a precursor to an earthquake—should we evacuate the citizens?!”

The voice from the snail was urgent.

Silence.

Absolute, crushing silence.

After a long pause, Hancock replied flatly, “Do nothing.” And hung up.

Her eyes locked onto the figure ahead—

The man now calmly pulling a syringe from a medical kit.

Her face was a picture of shock.

“Vir… just how strong are you?”

—

TL Note: Btw, Shiki did all of this without pants.
