Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Peak Stupidity
The moment before he saw that bounty poster.
Marco was all swagger and defiance.
But the moment he laid eyes on it, all Marco could muster was a single, hesitant thought—
How long has it been?
How long?
If he remembered correctly, Vir had just hit one billion when he first boarded their ship, hadn’t he?
And now—
1.9 billion?!
Be honest bro—do you have some connections in the World Goverment or something?
This was downright outrageous!
First, it jumped from 300 million to one billion. Now, it skyrocketed from one billion to 1.9 billion.
What the hell are you eating, growth hormones?!
You’re climbing way too damn fast!
And just like that, he’d surpassed Marco himself.
He’d thought his own 1.5 billion bounty would at least keep Vir in check for a while.
But no.
He was clearly left in the dust.
Marco’s face was a storm of frustration.
Of course he was pissed—who wouldn’t be after getting overtaken like that?
But it also lit a fire under him. He’d train harder, push further, and reclaim his lead over Vir.
In fact, the thought of letting Vir treat his injuries—something he’d been reluctant about before—now seemed almost… exciting.
Soon, the bounty poster made its way around the crew.
And every single one of them had a priceless reaction upon seeing it.
But the most devastated of them all?
Bonney.
She stared at the poster—at that ridiculously cool shot of Vir, his eyes glowing purple as he faced off against Kizaru.
Then her gaze dropped to the absurdly high number beneath it.
Her expression twisted into something indescribable.
They were supposed to be part of the same generation—the Supernovas.
Yet Kizaru had kicked every single one of them around like they were trash.
So how the hell was Vir trading blows with him?!
What kind of unfair bullshit was this?!
And this bounty? It wasn’t even in Supernova territory anymore.
A guy like this could already go toe-to-toe with a Yonko.
This was just unfair!
How did this generation of Supernovas end up producing a monster like him?
Compared to him, everyone else looked like a bunch of clowns!
Bonney wanted to cry.
At this rate, he’d be a Yonko before the rest of them even left the “newbie village”.
Should she feel honored or despair to be in the same generation as him?
Clutching the bounty poster, she felt nothing but bitterness.
Then a gust of wind swept through, snatching the poster from her hands and sending it fluttering away…
Meanwhile, on the arena stage…
Jina lay sprawled on the cold ground, her eyes empty.
Her mind kept replaying what had just happened.
The terror of death still had her body trembling.
A single tear trailed down her cheek.
Her vacant stare, her quivering limbs—all of it proved just how deeply that moment had shaken her.
It took a long while before any light returned to her eyes.
And when it did, the first thing she saw was a pair of massive feet in flip-flops right in front of her.
“Kid, you’ve got a long way to go.”
Vir’s voice, cool and detached, drifted down from above.
Hearing it, fear flashed through Jina’s eyes again.
She struggled to lift her head.
Backlit by the sun, Vir’s face was hard to make out.
But she could feel it—the sheer indifference radiating off him.
Vir had never once seen her as a threat.
She’d been nothing but a clown, prancing around in front of him.
If not for her father’s protection…
She would’ve died just now.
“In this world, no one can shield you forever. Without strength, you’ll just die a miserable death.”
“The side effects on Shiki will only last seven days.”
Vir’s tone was flat as he spoke, already turning to walk toward the spectator stands.
He didn’t spare Jina another glance.
Maybe because she was a doctor too, he’d bothered to say a bit more.
But Jina froze at his words.
Regret flickered in her eyes.
She remembered how Marco and her father had vehemently opposed her reckless actions.
She remembered the price Marco had paid for her.
If not for him…
Her leg would’ve been gone long ago.
How could she have been so blind?
How had she missed something so obvious?
And when she heard that the side effects would only last seven days—
First came fury.
Then, crushing remorse.
Why hadn’t he told her sooner?!
But then it hit her—
She’d never given him the chance.
She really… was an idiot.
Only seven days.
Her father’s legs were fully restored, with zero lasting consequences.
Even that supposedly incurable rudder stuck in his head—gone, all at the cost of just seven days.
Just how far did this guy’s medical skills go?!
Jina was stunned.
She had no choice but to admit it—
Vir’s medical prowess had completely humbled her.
What she’d believed impossible…
He’d done it effortlessly.
And at such a trivial cost.
(Golden Lion: Huh?)
It was too much for her to process.
She’d always thought herself a genius.
She’d looked down on everyone.
She’d believed her medical skills were unmatched, her strength unrivaled.
But now?
This man—whose medical mastery she couldn’t even fathom, whose strength was unfathomable—had ruthlessly shattered her delusions.
He’d shown her what it meant to be a frog at the bottom of a well.
Watching Vir’s retreating figure, Jina’s heart was a storm of emotions.
Then—
“Who the hell ARE you?!”
She screamed it with everything she had.
The moment the words left her mouth—
Up in the stands, Shiki’s eyes reddened slightly.
He could feel it.
Something in Jina had changed.
“Heh… She’s grown up.” Shiki murmured.
Beside him, Rayleigh patted his shoulder.
“Still, you owe Vir some tuition fees for that lesson, don’t you?”
“Shut your damn mouth! This doesn’t concern you!”
“Hahahaha!”
Their bickering dissolved the heavy atmosphere.
As for Vir?
He glanced up at the sky.
The sun was shining, a gentle breeze blowing.
A single sheet of paper danced wildly in the wind.
He said nothing.
Just kept walking.
Jina’s face fell.
But just as disappointment began to set in—
*CRACKLE!*
The thunderclap made her flinch violently.
She had developed a phobia of thunder at this point.
But this time, no lightning struck her.
Instead, a bolt of lightning speared through the airborne bounty poster—
—pinning it to the ground right in front of her.
When Jina saw those piercing, oppressive eyes—
When she saw the endless sea of lightning stretching across the sky—
She was awestruck.
And then…
She looked down.
At the number.
1.9 billion.
She might not have been active on the seas, but she knew.
This bounty meant power on par with a Marine Admiral.
And she’d thought this man was just… some ordinary doctor?
“I really am… a complete idiot.”
A bitter smile crossed Jina’s face.
