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

Chapter 350: Chapter 350: The Marines Will Prevail!

On the other side, Garp suddenly facepalmed, looking utterly exasperated.

Akainu, lying on the ground waiting to see Whitebeard get taken down, started heating up again.

If he could move even a single finger right now—

Just one!

He’d melt that damn brat standing in front of everyone with a single shot!

Goddammit!

They’d been fighting all day!

So many people had died!

Their base was practically in ruins!

Even he was lying here, half-dead!

And this little shit had the audacity to step in now?!

Just when the Marines were about to pull off something that would shock the world?!

“Stop fighting”?

What in the sweet strawberry lollipop hell is this?! Are you a damn undercover agent or something?!

Couldn’t stand to see the Marines win even a little, huh?

Akainu was so furious that blood started trickling from the corner of his mouth again.

At this rate, he might just die from sheer rage.

“Brat! Move! This isn’t where you belong!”

Kong frowned, his voice deep and commanding as he glared at Koby.

“No! We can’t keep fighting! Our base is about to collapse! Everyone, please stop!”

Tears streaming down his face, Koby shouted stubbornly.

Everyone had assumed that when the Fleet Admiral spoke, this kid would obey.

But now, they were all stunned.

…Huh?

What the hell was this kid doing?!

They seriously wanted to just kill him on the spot!

What kind of idiotic nonsense was he spouting?!

Nearly everyone shared that thought—even Sengoku and the others wanted to blast him away immediately.

But the problem was…

If anyone made a move now, they’d be in deep trouble.

If Whitebeard got his hands on them, they’d be dead for sure.

No joke.

Straight-up dead.

Whitebeard wasn’t asking for much—if he got the chance, he’d take at least one Marine with him.

If he grabbed you?

Congratulations. You won the jackpot.

He’d beat you to death.

A one-way ticket to heaven, express delivery.

And so, thanks to Koby, the battle had come to a complete standstill.

Sengoku was even considering just killing the kid on the spot.

This stalemate couldn’t go on.

“Koby! Get the hell out of here!”

Garp, who had been pretending to be dead nearby, finally couldn’t take it anymore and roared.

But Koby didn’t budge.

“Vice Admiral Garp! I have to stop this! This is my justice!”

Koby’s stubborn expression hit Garp like a bullet, making him slump back down.

Up in the sky, the Whitebeard Pirates, who had retreated to a safe distance, watched the scene in utter confusion.

“We actually have a spy in the Marines?! Pops planned this far ahead?!”

“No kidding, I had no idea! This kid’s a real lifesaver!”

“Gotta respect the guts. He’s gonna go far—best damn spy ever!”

They all assumed Koby was one of their own.

But Marco’s words left them even more baffled.

“What spy? That kid’s not one of ours! We don’t have any spies that young!”

The crew froze.

…Huh? Not a spy?

Then why’s he doing a better job than an actual spy?!

Even a real spy wouldn’t pull this kind of stunt!

And you’re telling us he’s a genuine Marine?!

What kind of legendary Marine is this?!

Down below, Sengoku’s brow furrowed.

If they killed him now, with the whole world watching the broadcast…

Executing a Marine who stood for “justice” would have serious consequences.

Just as Sengoku was racking his brain for a solution—

*Schlick!*

The sound of a blade piercing flesh echoed.

Everyone froze.

At the center of the conflict, a new figure now stood beside Koby.

In their hand was a sword—

And it was buried deep in Koby’s skull.

Straight through the temple, clean through his head.

Blood dripped from the blade’s tip, splattering onto the ground.

The sudden turn of events left everyone speechless.

It was Chiba!

Chiba had just killed that idiotic Marine!

But…

Koby’s eyes widened, his stubborn expression frozen in place.

His gaze shifted weakly to the side, landing on Chiba.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

He never imagined… he’d be killed by his own comrade.

He hadn’t died fighting pirates—

He’d been slain by a fellow Marine.

Damn it…

Was this the end of his justice?

But then—

*Schlick!*

Another sound.

The light in Koby’s eyes vanished instantly.

His brain had been severed.

Chiba’s blade had sliced him clean in half—from the side!

Blood erupted like a geyser.

Everyone’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Hiss—

That was brutal!

Just watching it made their whole bodies ache!

But despite that, they couldn’t help but look at Chiba with newfound respect.

Even Sengoku and the others, though conflicted, silently approved of his actions.

That kid had just been too damn stupid.

Garp’s face stiffened.

After a long, deep look at Chiba, he silently turned away.

And Akainu?

He was so thrilled he nearly jumped up!

Good!

Good damn job, kid!

That slash was so fucking satisfying!

His instincts had been right—this one had Admiral potential!

If they made it out of this alive, he was taking this kid as his disciple, no questions asked!

This guy was exactly his type!

Especially that second slash—it hit him right in the soul!

He had to nurture this talent! This was his successor! The future of the Marines!

Kuzan, you idiot! Go save him! Whitebeard won’t let this slide!

Akainu was practically screaming in his head.

Same as before, but now with a completely different mindset.

“The Marines don’t need cowards! The Marines are an iron-blooded force! We fight until they fear us! Until they tremble at our name! A Marine like him? He deserved to die!”

After finishing off Koby, Vir shouted with unwavering determination!

His words resonated instantly.

Every single Marine roared in agreement.

Even the more pacifist members found themselves nodding along…

In this moment—

Thanks to Koby’s absurd actions and Vir’s godly intervention—

The hardliners were gaining ground in the Marines!

And those words made Akainu look at Vir like he was his own son.

Save him!

Save my boy!

This was perfect. Absolutely perfect. Akainu wanted nothing more than to rush over and hug Vir right then and there.

Yes! This is exactly right!

The moment Vir finished speaking, Whitebeard—his expression unreadable—swung a “devastating, earth-shattering, overwhelmingly powerful” punch his way!

*Boom—!*

*Crack!*

Space itself fractured!

Vir raised his sword to block, but the situation was still “extremely dire”!

He was sent flying instantly, blood gushing from his body.

Cracks spread across his skin like shattered glass.

He vomited a mouthful of blood mixed with chunks of internal organs.

Half his face caved in, teeth flying everywhere.

Yet even so—

He still managed to shout one last line…

Time seemed to freeze.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on that figure.

And then—

“THE MARINES WILL PREVAIL!!!”
