Chapter 6: I'm just a doctor.

“A brat who hasn't even grown all his hair!”

The leader was a Fishman wielding twin blades, his mouth full of sharp teeth stretched into a grin, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty cruelty: “I’m going to chop you into pieces and feed you to the Sea Kings!”

He moved incredibly fast, bringing a Fishy Wind as he lunged forward, his twin blades carving two sharp, cold arcs in the air, blocking all of Luo An’s escape routes.

Everyone on the ship felt their hearts leap into their throats.

Shanks instinctively wanted to rush over and help, but he was firmly entangled by the enemies around him.

Rayleigh frowned, about to pull away, when he saw Luo An make a move that they would never forget.

Facing the Fishman’s inevitable slash, Luo An advanced instead of retreating.

Luo An’s small body slid half a step to the left at an incredible angle, precisely avoiding the sharpest trajectory of the blade.

At the same time, Luo An’s right index finger and middle finger pressed together, and a layer of jet-black, obsidian-like luster instantly covered them.

Armament Haki!

The Fishman’s pupils suddenly constricted; he felt the terrifying power and wanted to change his move, but it was already too late.

“Too slow.”

Luo An’s voice was as soft as a whisper in the ear.

His fingers accurately poked the Fishman’s wrist, which was holding the blade.

There was no earth-shattering bang, only a dull crack.

The ferocious grin on the Fishman’s face instantly froze, replaced by extreme pain and horror.

He felt an irresistible penetrating force erupt from Luo An’s fingertips, instantly shattering his wrist bone, and that force even surged up along the meridians of his arm, paralyzing his entire right arm.

With a clang, the long blade fell to the ground.

Luo An’s movements did not stop; as he brushed past the Fishman, a small, silver-shining surgical blade had appeared in his left hand at some point.

The blade was also covered with a thin layer of Armament Haki, and it lightly grazed the Fishman’s waist.

There was no gushing blood, not even a cut in the skin.

But the Fishman seemed to be struck by lightning, his body convulsed violently, and then he fell straight to the ground with a thud, foaming at the mouth, completely losing his combat ability.

“The paravertebral ganglion of the third lumbar vertebra; a slight stimulation can cause temporary paralysis of the lower limbs.”

Luo An explained calmly, as if what he had just completed was not a life-and-death struggle, but a very ordinary medical demonstration.

All of this happened in a flash.

The other elite pirates who rushed up hadn’t even reacted before their leader had already fallen.

“Bastard!”

A burly man carrying a spiked club roared, swinging the heavy weapon in his hand in a wide arc, bringing a tearing whistle through the air, and smashing it down fiercely towards Luo An’s head.

In Luo An’s life vision, the life fire of this burly man’s entire body was concentrated in his upper body, making him appear powerful, but there was a dim area in his left knee.

That was an old injury, causing his center of gravity to unconsciously shift to the right when he exerted force.

Luo An did not look up; he merely tapped the deck lightly with his toes, and his body floated backward several meters like a weightless fallen leaf, easily dodging this thunderous blow.

The spiked club heavily smashed onto the deck, sending splinters flying.

While the burly man’s old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet emerged, Luo An’s figure approached like a ghost.

Luo An did not attack the burly man’s vital points, but instead raised his lower leg, covered with Armament Haki, and precisely kicked the burly man’s injured left knee.

“Aow!”

The burly man let out a scream that was not human-like; his mountain-like body lost its balance, and he knelt heavily on the ground, rolling in pain while clutching his left leg.

The remaining two pirates were completely terrified.

They looked at the boy standing still, his breathing not even slightly disturbed, and felt as if they were facing not a child, but a demon in human skin.

He would not make a move unless necessary, but when he did, it would invariably be to attack where the enemy must defend, hitting them where it hurt the most.

That precision and ruthlessness sent a chill down their spines.

“You… what kind of monster are you?!”

One of them shouted with a trembling voice.

Luo An tilted his head, revealing an innocent smile that almost made Buggy faint on the spot.

“I’m just a doctor.”

Before he finished speaking, Luo An had already disappeared from his original spot.

The two pirates only felt a blur before their eyes, followed by a slight coolness at their necks, as if they had been bitten by a mosquito.

Immediately after, a strong sensation of numbness spread throughout their bodies from their necks; they watched helplessly as they lost control of their bodies and softly collapsed.

Luo An retracted his surgical blade, not a trace of blood on its tip.

“The carotid sinus; applying appropriate pressure can cause temporary cerebral ischemia, leading to fainting. The force was well-controlled, no one will die.”

Luo An continued to explain scientific facts to himself.

On the deck, a strange silence descended.

Whether it was the Roger Pirates or the Golden Lion’s subordinates, everyone who witnessed this scene stopped what they were doing, dumbfounded.

Buggy hid behind a barrel, his body trembling like a sieve.

He finally understood what the cheers of those people on shore were all about.

This was simply a demon.

He even gave live lessons while beating people up!

Shanks could barely hold his sword; his gaze towards Luo An had changed from admiration to fanaticism.

So cool!

This was even cooler than Captain and Rayleigh’s fights!

Rayleigh took a deep breath, striking down an attacker who had ambushed him. He looked at Luo An, his eyes filled with shock and contemplation.

Innate Armament Haki?

No, this was not just Haki; this kind of insight into the weaknesses of the human body, combined with pinpoint accurate attacks… this kid’s fighting style itself was a terrifying form of medical art.

“Haha… Hahahahaha…”

The silence was broken by a thunderous laugh.

Roger punched the enemy in front of him, sending him flying. He looked at Luo An, laughing so hard that tears almost came out.

“Interesting! Too interesting! Rayleigh, it seems we’ve found a treasure! A ship doctor who can use Armament Haki! Hahahaha!”

Golden Lion watched all of this from his flagship, his face so grim it looked like water would drip from it.

He had originally thought he was just a commander with a bit of cleverness, but he never expected him to be a hidden master of martial arts!

“Useless! A bunch of trash!”

Golden Lion roared furiously: “Full fleet bombardment! I don’t care what that brat is, blast him and the Oro Jackson into pieces for me!”

However, just at this moment, the color of the sky suddenly darkened without warning.

The previously clear weather instantly became overcast, and strong winds began to howl.

The sea surface was no longer merely turbulent; it began to churn violently, as if some giant beast was about to awaken from the seabed.

Luo An looked up; in his life vision, the life energy of the sky and the sea was becoming restless.

“The weather is changing.”

Luo An said softly, his voice not loud, but it clearly reached Rayleigh’s ears.

Rayleigh was startled by the words, looked up at the sky, and his face instantly changed dramatically: “It’s the great storm unique to the Edd War area! Damn it, how could it be so sudden!”
