One Piece: Don't Worry, I'm a Doctor-Chapter 154: Was It on Purpose or an Accident?
Chapter 154 - 154: Was It on Purpose or an Accident?
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre...
That man could chop down a kid with a single swing.
A true savage, he wouldn't even blink while killing.
And this thing was his exclusive weapon...
As for its passive effect...
To be honest—Vir loved it.
Screaming might seem ordinary.
But if the target... was someone like Akainu or Red-Haired Shanks?
Then this could be extremely effective.
Because, judging by the description...
That scream was something special.
Just imagine Mihawk letting out a woman's shriek.
Imagine Sengoku or Garp screaming like that.
Uh...
Okay, maybe not Garp.
But still!
Buying this chainsaw was a guaranteed win.
Negative Points would roll in like a storm.
Even if we set aside the top dogs for a moment—
Guys like Law.
Kid.
Kuma.
Rayleigh... and so on, and so on.
All of them could give off tons of Negative Points just from the scream!
But then Vir looked at the price.
And his brows knit together.
So damn expensive!
Well... you get what you pay for.
And chainsaws were currently a critical medical tool in short supply.
Sigh.
He really didn't have a choice!
But still, no need to rush.
Vir decided to check out the other functions first.
Yamato noticed Vir's furrowed brows and thought he was facing some kind of problem.
That instantly made her anxious again.
In the system interface, the function that boosts spiritual power was passive.
Couldn't even view it.
But the enchantment function? That was laid out super clearly.
"One enchantment only costs 1.5 million Negative Points~"
"No scams~"
As soon as he tapped into the enchantment tab, a little message popped up.
And it made Vir's head buzz a little.
This was... crazy expensive.
And this function couldn't increase an item's durability.
That's a real problem.
Buying stuff from the Multiverse Store later wouldn't be a problem—those items wouldn't break.
But his existing useful tools? Not so easy to maintain.
Like this trusty brick, for instance.
Sigh.
Gotta take it step by step, save where he could.
If he was going to enchant something, then the Going Merry would be the top pick.
It could boost his combat capabilities.
Even grant him a new skill.
But now, after the system upgrade, he only had 3.35 million Negative Points left.
If he bought the chainsaw, then he wouldn't have enough to enchant Merry.
The system just threw him a surprise multiple-choice test.
Just as Vir found himself stuck in dilemma...
Yamato, seeing that he hadn't moved for a while, couldn't help but speak up.
"Hey, Vir... is it hard to open? Maybe you should take a break first?"
At that moment—
While still debating between buying or enchanting—
Vir's eyes suddenly lit up.
And the way he looked at Yamato... started to shift.
Well, now...
There might be a way to get both.
But, uh...
Yamato...
You might have to make a small sacrifice~
Not that he's doing this for the Negative Points!
It's all for a better shot at rescuing Ace!
It's all for Ace!!
Yamato, you wouldn't mind this... right~?
Squeeze squeeze squeeze squeeze...
"Yamato~" Vir said with a mischievous grin.
"Hm? What's up? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Yamato tilted her head, totally confused, still thinking about how she'd thank Vir once the shackles were off.
Hearing him call her name like that made her feel even more puzzled.
"Are you afraid of pain?" Vir asked again.
Pain?
Why would she be afraid of pain?
Yamato blinked and looked at Vir, puzzled.
She was the daughter of Kaido.
How could she possibly be afraid of pain?
She didn't really understand why he was asking, but she answered honestly: "I'm not afraid of pain. You can do whatever you need."
Hearing that, Vir actually let out a sigh of relief.
Not because he was guilty or anything—
But if Yamato wasn't afraid of pain, his conscience would be a little lighter.
"Alright! Let's get started then!"
As he spoke, Vir opened a spatial door right in front of Yamato.
At the same time, a matching door appeared a thousand meters above them in the sky.
Yamato's eyes went wide with amazement.
That... was space manipulation?!
She could see the clouds up close inside it.
A bird even happened to fly through it and got transported down.
Was Vir planning to toss the cuffs into it?
Whoa!
So smart!
So impressive!
What a perfect solution!
Vir is amazing!
*Crack!*
"Time Domain!!"
Vir shattered the cuffs!
And activated his time ability!
In the same motion, he grabbed the broken cuffs and hurled them into the spatial door!
But—whether it was the crushing force or the angle—
The cuffs didn't break completely.
Enough for Yamato's hand to slip free, yes...
But a part of them remained intact.
And when Vir threw them...
No idea why, but—
The cuffs hooked onto Yamato's right wrist!
And yanked her straight into the spatial door with them!
Yamato had just been overjoyed when she heard the crack!
'It's open!'
'It's really open!'
'Haha! I am finally free!!'
But right after that—
A force yanked at her wrist!
She instantly realized—something was seriously wrong!
She could get out!
One of her hands was caught!
She tried to use her left hand to help remove the cuffs.
But for some reason—
Her movements felt too slow!
She had flown in way too fast!!!
What the hell is going on!?
No, no, no!
This wasn't right!
"Viiiiir—!"
She shouted while turning her head to look back at him.
Only to see him wearing an equally horrified expression!
Was he... doing this on purpose, or was it an accident?
But before she could finish that thought—whoosh!
Yamato vanished from the ship.
And then, right after that—
*BOOM—!!*
A thunderous explosion erupted directly above them!
The sheer force of the blast made the entire ship tremble uncontrollably.
A shockwave came crashing down toward them.
Marco's face was flapping like crazy from the pressure!
His lifeless fish eyes bulged wide and round like dinner plates!
What the hell just happened?!
Seriously, what the hell is this?!
Weren't they just trying to remove some handcuffs!?
Why did it feel more like they were sending someone off to the next life!?
Damn, you've got some skills!
That explosion was brutal!
Sure, the ship didn't get damaged...
But it felt like she got erased from existence!
Could that kinda-average-looking girl actually have survived that?
He'd never even heard of her before!
How strong could she possibly be!?
While Marco was still lost in confusion, Vir was already on the move.
His Observation Haki had locked onto Yamato's location with pinpoint accuracy.
By then, Yamato had already transformed into her Okuchi no Makami hybrid form!
She'd managed to tear off the cuffs and fling them away.
Because of that, she wasn't too badly injured.
The only visible wound was on her right arm.
The rest were just internal injuries from the shockwave.
It was a bit serious—
But far from fatal.
And injuries like that? Vir could make them vanish in under three minutes.
Yamato, however, was still in a bit of a daze.
Everything had happened so suddenly—
She hadn't even wrapped her head around what just went down.
Right then, Vir casually snapped his fingers.
A spatial door opened right beneath her.
The other end, of course, was back on the ship.
To be specific—right above Vir's head.
But she was falling too fast.
She'd smash through the ship if she wasn't stopped.
Just as Yamato was about to come through—
Vir gently lifted a hand—
*Whoosh—*
The spatial door shut halfway—
*BONK!!*
A crisp sound rang out as Yamato's forehead made intimate contact with the edge of the spatial door...
