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

Chapter 392: Chapter 392: A Compassionate Heart

Looking at the remains—or rather, the complete lack of remains—of that axe-thrower in Vir’s hand—the expressions on King Neptune and Jinbe’s faces were nothing short of spectacular.

“Th-this… this…! This…!”

Neptune stammered for a long time, unable to form a complete sentence.

Jinbe’s eyes trembled violently as well.

They watched as Vir casually grabbed Vander Decken IX, annihilated him with a single effortless strike, and then calmly washed his hands as if nothing had happened.

Their hearts were utterly shaken!

They had loathed Vander Decken IX for years.

They had spent countless resources and manpower trying to track him down and kill him.

Even with Jinbe’s help, they had never succeeded.

That guy was like a ghost, hiding in the ruins, impossible to find.

That was why they had no choice but to keep Shirahoshi confined in the Hard-Shell Tower all these years.

But now?

That bastard had just been casually plucked out by Vir?

One flash of light, and he was gone?

Th-this…!

Was it really that easy?

All their years of struggle suddenly seemed… a little ridiculous in comparison.

It wasn’t until Vir clapped his hands and asked a question that the two of them snapped out of their daze.

Staring at Vir’s face, they finally remembered—

This man in front of them was a pirate with a 1.9 billion bounty!

A monster who could kill a Vice Admiral with a single strike!

Hiss—!

They had been so absorbed in Vir’s identity as a “miracle doctor” that they had completely forgotten about his terrifying strength!

This was the power of a 1.9 billion berry pirate!

Horrifying… absolutely horrifying!

And Vir hadn’t even done much.

He had just activated his Observation Haki for a moment, instantly enveloping the entire Fish-Man Island within his awareness.

Finding someone? Child’s play.

Once he locked onto Vander Decken’s location, the rest was simple.

A portal opened right in front of the guy’s face—what could he do?

He couldn’t even utter a single word before turning into ash.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say Fish-Man Island lacked truly strong fighters.

Aside from Jinbe, no one there could survive a single move from Vir.

They were all just kindling for an instant cremation.

Even that guy named Hody—something. At best, his flames would burn a little brighter before turning to ash.

Seeing Neptune still frozen in shock, Vir sighed and asked again:

“So, are we good now? If it’s settled, I’ll start turning Shirahoshi into a human.”

His words finally snapped Neptune back to reality.

Seeing Vir’s slightly impatient expression, he hurriedly replied:

“Y-yes! Absolutely! Doctor Vir! I truly don’t know how to thank you! You’ve done us an immense favor!”

“With him dead, Shirahoshi will never have to live in this tower again… Truly, thank you!”

As he spoke, Neptune’s eyes reddened, likely remembering all the suffering Shirahoshi had endured over the years.

Tears welled up, ready to burst forth.

He even began to bow deeply, as if about to drop to his knees in gratitude.

Just killing Vander Decken wouldn’t have warranted such a grand gesture.

But Vir had helped them far beyond that.

Not only was he taking Shirahoshi to the surface, but he was also personally ensuring her safety—and offering a rare treasure that could turn a mermaid into a human.

This was an unrepayable kindness.

Seeing him about to kneel, Vir sighed and used his powers to lift Neptune’s clothes, stopping him.

Vir had genuinely noticed something about the people in this world—they loved kneeling way too much.

Every other moment, someone was dropping to their knees.

He was here for only three things: Fairness, fairness, and damn fairness.

No kneeling allowed!

“Alright, alright. You’re a king—stop kneeling at the drop of a hat.”

“Doctor! If there’s anything you want, just name it! I’ll spare no effort!”

“Nah, it’s all free. Now, if there’s nothing else—”

Before Vir could finish, a loud *RIP*! echoed through the room.

Neptune, now so overcome with emotion, had torn off his own shirt and dropped to his knees with a thunderous *THUD*!

“Doctor! I truly don’t know how to thank you enough!”

Bare-chested, tears streamed down his face as he wept openly.

The sight left Vir utterly speechless.

Huh? What the—

Was this guy unliftable?

He was determined to kneel, wasn’t he…

“Fine, fine, just get up already. Anyone who knows me knows I never take payment for healing.”

Vir waved him off dismissively before leading Shirahoshi back into the Hard-Shell Tower.

“I’ll go ahead and turn her into a human. You two wait outside.”

With that, he walked in and slammed the door shut behind him.

Leaving Neptune and Jinbe standing there, expressions frozen in disbelief.

He… never takes payment for his treatments?

As they stared at the closed door, a deep sense of respect welled up in their hearts.

The heart of a true healer.

Today, they had witnessed what it truly meant to be a doctor of unparalleled compassion.

Compared to the ruthless, murderous pirates who ravaged the seas, Vir stood in stark contrast.

It was almost hard to believe he was a pirate too.

Neptune’s eyes shone with reverence.

But if he had ever experienced Vir’s “full treatment” firsthand…

He would never have such a foolish thought again.

At that point, he would only think one thing:

“Vir is far more detestable than any ordinary pirate!”

And his only wish would be—

“Just let me die!”

*THUD*

The heavy door closed behind Shirahoshi.

But her gaze remained fixed on Vir, filled with gratitude—and even more so, amazement.

Just moments ago, she had truly believed she was doomed to return to this dark, lonely tower.

After all, her father had searched for years and never found the man who kept throwing things at her.

But just as she was about to resign herself to fate…

This human in front of her had effortlessly captured that man.

She didn’t understand how he had disappeared, but her father had agreed to let her go to the surface again—all thanks to Vir-sama!

And he even caught that axe mid-air! He was so strong!

Could a doctor really be this strong? Weren’t doctors supposed to be frail and old?

How was he so different from every other doctor? Not only did he look different, but his strength and healing methods were completely unique too.

He could even turn her into a human… That had to require something incredibly rare and precious.

Yet he didn’t even ask for payment.

Even her father had knelt before him.

He said he never takes money from his patients. A doctor like that is just… too good to be true!

Gentle with his patients, insisting on curing them before leaving… and free!

Vir-sama was the best doctor ever!

Shirahoshi stared at Vir, her heart swelling with admiration.
