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

Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Patient Binding Stamp

Vir’s sudden outburst nearly gave Jinbe a heart attack.

He was already holding the Den Den Mushi’s receiver, about to hang up, when the snail suddenly stretched its neck right into his face—so close it almost shoved itself into his mouth.

The move left Jinbe sweating bullets.

Even King Neptune beside him broke into a cold sweat.

Why does this guy seem so excited the moment he hears Shirahoshi’s name…?

But it was also unexpected that even a doctor as skilled as him would be helpless against psychological illnesses.

Sigh… What should they do about Shirahoshi now?

Neptune was distressed.

Jinbe, staring at the suddenly hyperactive Den Den Mushi, was utterly confused.

What was going on with Shirahoshi? Why would it make Vir react like this?

He’s the kind of man who would mercilessly attack even a Yonko, a real ruthless one.

Did he find out about Shirahoshi’s power? But that can’t be—he’s never even been to Fish-Man Island. He wouldn’t know who Shirahoshi is.

“Uh… Is something wrong with Shirahoshi?”

After some hesitation, Jinbe decided to just ask directly.

Hearing this, Vir, who had been buzzing with excitement, finally calmed down.

The news was just too shocking.

Shirahoshi. SHIRAHOSHI!

The Poseidon herself!

The ability to communicate with and command Sea Kings across vast distances—that wasn’t just strong, that was the real deal, the ruler of the Sea Kings!

If he could get his hands on that power, it’d be an absolute game-changer.

But whether this monstrous ability even counted as a “power” he could take was still uncertain.

He’d honestly forgotten about Shirahoshi, the so-called “giant loli”. She was only fourteen now, right?

At fourteen, she’s already suffering from this many psychological issues? Seriously?

Better get the details first.

“Nah, it’s nothing. Just a friend with the same name. Ahem… So, what’s the situation with this Shirahoshi? Tell me everything.”

Vir quickly straightened his expression, putting on a serious face.

Jinbe was even more baffled now.

Huh? Didn’t you just say you couldn’t treat it? Why are you asking for details now?

“Don’t get the wrong idea. There’s no illness I can’t cure—I was just being lazy earlier.”

Vir delivered the lie with such a straight face that it was utterly convincing.

Instantly, the group on the other side erupted in joy.

He can treat her!

HE CAN REALLY TREAT HER! Thank the seas! Shirahoshi can be saved!

Neptune and the others trusted Vir—after all, he had close ties with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Since Fish-Man Island was under Whitebeard’s protection, they naturally viewed Vir as trustworthy.

Any human who gets along with Whitebeard can’t be a bad person.

If he could really cure her, it’d be a massive relief!

Jinbe quickly explained everything that had happened. After hearing the somewhat ridiculous story, Vir could only facepalm.

You left your daughter alone at home? How could you be that stupid?!

He’d known the Fish-Man King wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but this was next-level idiocy.

Panicking is one thing, but this is just reckless…

Still, Vir quickly pieced together the situation.

She was just scared. Scared into developing psychological disorder… Yeah, Shirahoshi’s really living up to her timid reputation.

So, can this psychological issue be treated?

Yes, and no.

This was Shirahoshi they were talking about.

If he wanted her ability, he’d have to give her psychological trauma.

That wasn’t hard—just a tiny, tiny bit of effort on his part would do the trick.

But the problem was, he was supposed to be curing the trauma she already had.

Using terrifying methods to treat someone already traumatized? That was just counterproductive.

It’d only make things worse.

She might just drop dead from fear on the spot.

But was Vir worried?

Not at all!

Though the conditions were a little strict, after hearing the symptoms and considering Shirahoshi’s fragile personality, Vir quickly found the perfect medicine in the System Shop!

[GG Staff]

Function: Press the switch and shout “GG Boom!” and the user will transform into a mysterious form. Press the switch again and shout your name to return to normal.

Price: 1,000,000 Negative Points

Review: Oh, don’t worry~ It won’t turn you into a pig. It’ll just make you an ordinary human!

—

Vir called this thing the “Commoner Transformation Device.”

Using it would instantly turn you into a regular, unremarkable person.

When he first saw it, Vir had been baffled. Who in their right mind would spend a million points on something this useless?

But now, the bullet he’d fired in the past had come full circle—straight through his own forehead.

Bullseye.

Shirahoshi’s situation was clear:

She’d been locked up too long. Nearly seven or eight years stuck in that Hard-Shell Tower. Ever since that damn creep tried to kidnap her as a kid, weapons had been flying at her daily.

Lock anyone up that long, and they’d lose it. Even a fish.

She was just too timid. Fear had broken her.

Vir’s solution? Take her with him.

Bring her to the surface, let her experience the world she’d never seen. With him watching over her, nothing would go wrong.

She wouldn’t even need treatment—given time, her issues would fade on their own.

As for the bastard throwing those weapons?

Just kill him on sight.

Disgusting freak.

Years without washing his hands, just to keep harassing Shirahoshi?

Disgusting. Absolutely vile.

But after all this… was Vir the kind of guy to work for free?

Hell no!

He’d milk every last Negative Point he could—and take that ability while he was at it.

To make that happen, the System Shop had another absurdly overpowered item:

[Patient Binding Stamp]

Function: Any living being stamped by this seal will be permanently registered as your patient in the system’s records!

Note: Can only be used once.

Price: 5,000,000 Negative Points

Review: Think carefully about who you stamp! Friendly reminder—don’t put it somewhere too obvious…

That’s right. This thing.

A whopping five million points, and it could only bind one person. Once used, it was gone forever.

The System’s rule for Negative Points was simple:

The person must be your patient.

If they generate negative emotions, you get points.

But normally, they’re only your patient while you’re treating them. After that? Done. Any future negativity doesn’t count.

With this stamp, though?

They’re your patient forever.

Every bit of their negativity becomes your profit.

Vir had seen this item before but dismissed it due to the insane price.

Would the returns even cover five million?

Most people don’t constantly emit negative emotions—and even when they do, it’s not much.

But now?

This is Shirahoshi we’re talking about!
