Vir sighed helplessly at the scene before him.
His method of practicing medicine was apparently even more effective than brutal torture.
That was truly something.
Seeing the terrified look on Raki’s face ahead, Vir decided not to push her any further.
Scaring the poor kid too much wouldn’t be good.
“It’s nothing else, really. We just arrived here and don’t know the place well. We just need you to act as our guide.”
Vir spoke in a calm and friendly manner.
Upon hearing this, Raki froze for a moment.
Her expression was indescribable.
Guides?
Just asking us to be guides?
Bro, I was ready to sell out my ancestors eighteen generations back, and now you’re telling me you just want us to be guides?
Does that even make sense?
Was that level of torture really necessary just to find a guide?
You even chop a head off!
And then put it back on!
Are you messing with me?
Even though her brain was on the verge of exploding from confusion, she still immediately agreed.
She expressed her willingness to serve as a guide for them during their time on Skypiea.
From her tone to her expression, she did her best to convey that she was absolutely doing this voluntarily.
Definitely not forced.
She was very happy.
Even if she didn’t understand why, it really wasn’t a difficult condition to accept.
Seeing this, Vir nodded in satisfaction.
Whatever the case, he had achieved his goal.
Having a guide would make things much easier.
Now, even Raki looked much more pleasing to the eye.
But just then, Raki suddenly let out a cough.
Vir, who had just turned around, instantly snapped back like a shark that had caught the scent of blood, locking his gaze onto her.
She’s seriously injured…
She needs treatment!
Raki, seeing the terrifying gleam in Vir’s eyes, turned pale with fright.
“N-No, Doctor! I’m fine!”
But even after she said this, Vir remained unmoved, continuing to stare at her.
Realizing how bad the situation was, she ignored the sharp pain from her fractured ribs and battered abdomen, forcing herself to stand up.
Not only that, but she even performed a few exaggerated movements to prove she was fine.
After doing so, she looked seriously at Vir and said, “See? I’m really fine.”
But just as she finished speaking, she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.
The blood sprayed so far that it even splattered onto Vir’s face.
Vir blinked, wiped the blood off his face, and even noticed some fragments of internal organs in it.
Maybe he had gone a bit too hard just now…
Raki panicked even more!
Her anxiety was visible to the naked eye.
That old blood really couldn’t have come out at a worse time!
She tried to hold it in, but there was just no stopping it!
“I-It’s just gum bleeding! I haven’t been brushing properly! I’ll make sure to brush my teeth better from now on!”
Her poor excuse made everyone on the ship struggle to hold back their laughter.
No way!
If they didn’t hold it in, they’d truly be unable to contain themselves.
Even Vir’s lips twitched slightly.
Gum bleeding?
Alright, you win.
Since she went this far, Vir decided not to press any further.
He had never seen someone with such a strong survival instinct before.
Besides, there wasn’t much to gain here, so he wasn’t interested in wasting time.
“Fine, if you say so. Let’s set out then!”
Vir said regretfully.
Raki immediately sighed in relief.
Her life was spared.
After speaking, Vir moved over to the four people still lying on the ground and injected each of them with a shot.
It was the same serum that helped people quickly adapt to the environment.
After receiving the injection, the four quickly recovered.
The exhaustion that had drained them moments ago was gone, and they were full of energy again.
They couldn’t help but marvel at Vir’s medical skills.
They had no idea what had caused their symptoms, yet Vir already had an antidote prepared.
They had to admit, when it came to medicine, Vir was truly reliable.
Just… a bit rough…
Raki and Kamakiri, who had already gotten up, were also amazed.
Normally, Blue Sea dwellers needed at least a few hours to adjust to the White-White Sea’s environment.
That was why they usually had no problem hunting down Blue Sea people.
But this guy solved the issue with just one shot?
Unbelievable.
Chopper quickly received his injection as well.
Now, only two women were left.
This injection had to be administered directly into the chest, piercing the lung with precision.
Vir raised the needle without hesitation and swiftly injected Nami, who cooperatively puffed out her chest.
As the serum entered her system, she instantly felt her breathing ease.
Her body felt much lighter and more comfortable.
But when it was Robin’s turn, things got… strange.
Her face noticeably reddened.
Her gaze became unsteady, and her hands fidgeted with nowhere to go.
She couldn’t even bring herself to look directly at Vir.
But the more nervous she became, the more difficult it was for Vir to administer the shot.
She was shaking slightly, making it hard to inject properly.
With no other choice, Vir held her shoulder down and quickly, precisely, and forcefully inserted the needle.
Three seconds later, he withdrew it.
The serum was fully injected.
Having finished, Vir immediately turned and walked away to talk with the two guides.
Everyone else got back to their duties, steering the ship toward their new destination based on the guides’ directions.
No one noticed that Robin, who should have been feeling better, was actually breathing more and more rapidly.
Her flushed, shy face looked like it was about to drip with water…
…
Vir and the guides discussed heading straight for that so-called shrine.
Going directly for Enel.
But the guides said the ship couldn’t sail there directly.
The sea currents around that area were too chaotic.
Normally, only a Waver—a vehicle similar to a jet ski—could navigate through it.
Large ships could only enter if pulled by a special type of crab.
Hearing this, Vir recalled something.
In the original story, a giant crab at Angel Island carried the ship to the forest where Enel was located, treating it as a sacrifice.
In that case, they’d head to Angel Island first.
Once there, they wouldn’t even need to disembark.
Just wait for that big crab to appear.
As for Luffy and the others, they could go wherever they wanted.
Fewer people meant easier movement.
Once inside the forest, the two guides would lead him directly to the shrine.
As long as he found Enel…
Heh.
A good combo attack would make sure that smug bastard wouldn’t know what hit him.
Just earlier, Vir realized he could fully charge up an attack before a battle even started.
Meaning he could open with a devastating kick, enhanced with Armament Haki, leg reinforcement, and triple the damage.
Wonder if Enel could withstand that…
…
*Splash! Thud!*
In the distance, a figure suddenly burst out from the White-White Sea.
He wore a strange mask.
One of the three from before.
Glancing at the departing Going Merry, his face turned anxious as he sped off in the opposite direction.
He had to report this immediately.
Raki and Kamakiri had been captured.
And they were likely being tortured!
