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

Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Whitebeard: I Can Endure It! Resurrection… It’s Normal to Pay a Price!

Vir had no intention of making enemies with anyone—after all, everyone was a potential client.

But for those who got in the way of his work, he wasn’t the type to show them any kindness.

As he faced the visibly displeased members of the Red Hair Pirates, Vir slowly rose to his feet.

He pushed aside Chopper, who stood in front of him wielding a sharp axe, then pulled the Vibro-Blade embedded in the ground and pointed it straight at Shanks.

With a cold gaze, Vir spoke calmly.

“Now, do you think I have enough ’face,’ Red Hair?”

The words, combined with the menacing figures surrounding them, carried undeniable weight.

Shanks’ expression darkened as he stared at this audacious young man who, despite his lack of overwhelming strength, dared to act so arrogantly.

Yet, for the moment, there was nothing he could do.

Kaido, Bullet, Golden Lion—and even the Whitebeard remnants, battered yet unbroken.

Even if the Red Hair Pirates teamed up with the Marines, they… still wouldn’t stand a chance.

But being pointed at with a blade and taunted so brazenly in front of so many onlookers?

No matter how easygoing Shanks was, he couldn’t just let that slide.

If he couldn’t kill Vir, at least he could teach him a lesson!

His eyes sharpened—

*BOOM!*

A surge of crimson Conqueror’s Haki, crackling like lightning, shot straight toward Vir’s face!

Shanks intended to use his Haki to put this upstart in his place—to remind him what it meant to respect his elders.

The Haki blast tore through the air, bypassing all defenses in an instant!

By the time anyone realized what was happening, the tangible wave of energy was already upon Vir!

The crimson lightning flickered violently, its sheer pressure causing cracks to form on the skin of those nearby. The sheer pain of its proximity was unbearable!

The sheer force behind the attack was terrifying!

Golden Lion and the others tried to intercept it—but it was too late!

“Dodge, now!” Kaido roared in panic.

Vir was his treasure now. If he died right in front of him, Kaido would mourn for the rest of his life!

Everyone’s eyes locked onto Vir in concern—

Yet Vir himself remained completely unfazed.

The lightning was already at his face—

Just as everyone expected him to block or evade…

He disappointed them all.

With a single glance from Vir, the lightning… stopped dead in its tracks!

It hovered motionless in front of him—as if obeying some unseen command!

Every onlooker’s eyes widened in shock!

What the—?!

They glanced at Shanks, only to see him frowning deeply.

Wait… it wasn’t him?

Then how did it stop?

Did this kid do it? With just a look?!

Kaido’s jaw dropped. Golden Lion was stunned. Even Bullet was speechless.

That was Shanks’ Haki—even they couldn’t neutralize it so effortlessly!

Yet this guy just stared it down and it froze?!

Kaido, who had always seen Vir as just a doctor, violently shook his head to dispel the absurd thought.

If this guy is a doctor, then what the hell counts as a fighter?!

That was Red Hair’s attack!

*Snap!*

With a casual snap of Vir’s fingers, the dangerous Haki lightning sparked once—then vanished into thin air.

Now, there was no doubt.

And that realization made everyone’s eyes widen even further.

It really was him! He just erased Shanks’ Haki!

The strongest Haki in the world!

And this guy is supposed to be a doctor?!

What kind of doctor does this?!

Everyone was floored. They knew Vir was a monster—but this was beyond insane!

Vir smirked.

Who said Haki lightning wasn’t lightning?

[Thunder Control: You can generate and manipulate lightning!]

Sorry, but as long as it was lightning, it was under his command.

Even if Kaido tried his Thunder Bagua, Vir could make sure there’d be no thunder—just Bagua!

Having effortlessly dispelled Shanks’ attack, Vir didn’t bother continuing this back-and-forth.

Old White was already on death’s door—there was no time to waste.

Without hesitation, Vir crouched down and pulled out Big Mom’s silicone toy from his medical kit.

Honestly, looking around Marineford now…

Six Emperors stood tall!

Bullet, Shanks, Kaido, Golden Lion, Whitebeard—and the toy in Vir’s hand.

Touching the toy to Whitebeard’s body, Vir’s vision gradually shifted to monochrome.

Looking up, he saw Whitebeard’s soul standing tall in the sky—still as imposing as ever.

But when Whitebeard noticed Vir staring at him… his calm expression twisted into panic.

’Oh no.’

’This brat can see me?!’

’How?!’

Whitebeard’s face darkened. That single glance told him everything.

’Earlier… this kid had aimed that cursed device at the sky.’

’Was he… absorbing souls?!’

’Hiss—!’

’Extremely likely!’

Realizing this, Whitebeard looked at the Big Mom toy in Vir’s hand—

And slowly, his face contorted in horror.

Even the unshakable Whitebeard, who wouldn’t flinch if a mountain collapsed before him, was struggling to keep his composure now.

And seeing Vir’s sinister grin, he knew his fears were probably justified!

Soon, Vir ruthlessly crushed his last hope.

Vir slowly turned the silicone toy upside down.

As the twin “T’s” spread open, Whitebeard felt an irresistible pull!

Looking down at the dark abyss beneath him—

Whitebeard’s vision went black.

’He’s really going to suck me into that thing?!’

’Wait—could you at least decorate this damn thing a little?!’

’Just slapping it out in the open like this… that’s just disrespectful!’

But unlike Ace, Whitebeard didn’t struggle.

He understood—to achieve something like resurrecting the dead, sacrifices had to be made.

So… he could endure it! It was just a silicone toy, after all!

No problem. Absolutely no problem!

As Whitebeard mentally steeled himself, Vir watched his calm reaction—along with the equally unfazed system.

’Tch. Of course it’s you, old man.’

’Always making things difficult for me.’

’You think you can take it?’

’Fine. Don’t blame me for being ruthless!’

With that, Vir switched off the device.

Then, he tossed the silicone toy back into his medical kit!

The sudden loss of suction made Whitebeard, who had been psyching himself up, open his eyes in confusion.

Seeing the cursed object disappear, and Vir rummaging through his kit again, Whitebeard assumed the device had malfunctioned.

He let out a sigh of relief.

’Perfect timing!’

’As long as it’s not that monstrosity made from Linlin’s… essence, I can handle anything else without flinching.’

But just as he thought that—

A pull from the underworld suddenly gripped his soul!

At the same time, a spirit resembling Flame-Flame Fruit’s Devil began slowly separating from Whitebeard’s soul…
