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

Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Wait, I’m Healed?

Listening to the unrestrained, savage words all around, Brûlée’s face grew even paler.

He’s being eaten.

Katakuri’s really being eaten.

What is this doctor trying to do?

How on earth does he define this as treatment?!

Brûlée was on the verge of breaking down.

But Katakuri on the ground was even more distraught than she was.

Watching Vir devour his body parts one by one, Katakuri was practically losing his mind.

Was this guy actually insane?

Had he become so deranged that he’d started eating people?!

And worst of all—I’m the one being eaten!

After Vir gobbled up one of Katakuri’s eyeballs just to mess with him, he got serious and started “eating” his injuries.

Picking up a knife and fork, he slowly cut open Katakuri’s chest bit by bit.

The steaming internal organs were soon completely exposed.

Vir continued unhurriedly, cutting with the knife and stabbing with the fork.

He chewed slowly, savoring each bite meticulously.

From time to time, he would even offer a comment or two, praising the quality of Katakuri’s body extravagantly.

But to Katakuri, this scene was beyond disturbing.

Watching himself being eaten and listening to comments about how he tasted—this wasn’t his first time experiencing something like this.

Back then, he’d often create mochi for his younger siblings to eat. That technically counted as “eating his body”, in a sense.

But this… was completely different!

When Vir ate him, not only was there real pain, but what was being eaten wasn’t mochi.

It was real flesh and blood!

Just moments ago, he had even seen Vir pour himself a bowl of blood and drink it with relish.

This utterly unabashed way of eating—wasn’t it a bit too disrespectful to him, the ingredient?

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You’ve earned 300,000 negative points!]

Seeing the negative points roll in once again, Vir felt that the bland, tasteless soul of the injury in his mouth suddenly became a little more delicious.

He quickened his pace of eating.

“What’s going on? Why are you shaking like this before we’ve even started?”

Marco looked at Teach, who was trembling like a leaf beside him, and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Since when was this guy so timid?

He’d never noticed it before.

But at that moment, Teach had no mind to pay him any attention.

Before, when Vir had “stir-fried” him, it was just that—stir-frying.

Even though Vir had dismantled a bunch of his parts afterward, he hadn’t been deranged enough to eat them!

But now, this guy…

Had he evolved again??

He’s directly putting things into his mouth now?!

Teach had always been afraid of Vir, and now that he saw Vir’s methods had leveled up, he was on the verge of breaking down.

Would this guy just bite into him directly? Without even stir-frying first?

But Vir could only say Teach was overthinking it.

He wasn’t that indiscriminate with his eating.

For example, someone like Teach—coarse-looking, rough skin, tough meat.

He really couldn’t bring himself to eat that.

There was no need to put himself through that just for a tiny bit of damage immunity.

But just because Vir couldn’t bring himself to eat it didn’t mean no one could.

Weren’t there two guys earlier who wanted to taste what it was like? He could just arrange for them to have a go at Teach.

He’d make sure they cooked him up nice and fragrant~!

Before long, Vir had finished eating all of Katakuri’s injuries.

His damage immunity effect had also increased by 3%.

Now, his total damage immunity sat at 13%.

This guy’s strength wasn’t too far from Marco’s, and this injury was also life-threatening.

So the percentage boost was about the same.

Not bad, but just not bad.

Looking at that measly 13% damage immunity, Vir couldn’t help but feel it was climbing too slowly.

He’d have to do more stir-frying from now on.

If he didn’t stir-fry, it really wouldn’t do.

More stir-frying and more eating was the way to go.

The damage immunity effect could stack stack up to 60%.

If he didn’t hurry up, who knew how long it would take to max it out.

“How do you feel now?”

Hearing this, Katakuri, who had been disemboweled on the ground, was truly speechless.

This question was a bit stupid, wasn’t it?

But soon, he noticed something was off.

Logically, if he had really been eaten like this, he should have died long ago.

Why was he not only not dead but feeling even more comfortable?

What was going on? Was he secretly some kind of masochist?

While Katakuri was dumbfounded, his body began to change.

The internal organs that Vir had nearly hollowed out began to regenerate at an astonishing speed.

In mere moments, his empty chest, which would have echoed if he shouted, became full again.

His internal organs reappeared one after another.

And the chest that Vir had cut open seemed to reverse time, healing completely in seconds.

There wasn’t even a trace left on his chest.

Katakuri, still lying on the ground in a daze, felt his body bursting with infinite vitality and was completely stunned.

The wounds that had been oozing blood were now completely scarred over.

Naturally, the bleeding had stopped.

The stabbing pain from his internal organs had vanished.

It seemed… he really was healed…

Everything that had happened to Katakuri made his eyes widen in shock.

Had his condition really been alleviated?

Just by being stir-fried and eaten a few times?

The injury that even the best doctors on Whole Cake Island had been helpless to treat—was it really healed just like that?

What exactly had this guy done?

Katakuri’s emotions were incredibly complex.

He had already prepared to die, but were you really saving me?

“You gonna answer me or what? How do you feel?”

Vir’s impatient tone pulled Katakuri out of his thoughts.

Looking at Vir before him, the shock in his eyes was impossible to hide.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: “I… I feel like I’m healed.”

He didn’t say much more.

But his words made Brûlée and Shirahoshi, who were not far away, widen their eyes.

Huh?

What?

Healed?

After being eaten, he was actually healed?!

That whole eating-people act… was it really treatment?!

No matter how much they didn’t want to believe it, there was Katakuri, lying there, living proof.

It was enough to confirm everything.

Shirahoshi could hardly believe her eyes.

That person who had been completely eaten was now really healed.

Vir… Big Bro Vir was really treating him.

She had misunderstood him.

She had actually thought he was a pervert.

She really shouldn’t have.

Big Bro Vir probably didn’t want to eat him either—he was only doing this to save someone.

And that thing with the chainsaw…

It must have been the only way to save the person.

How foolish she had been.

From now on, she couldn’t just judge by appearances. Big Bro Vir had his difficulties.

Perhaps none of this was what he truly wanted to do.

In truth, he was a kind and good doctor!
