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

Chapter 378: Chapter 378: You Said It Wouldn’t Be Complicated, What’s This?!

Kuma left.

Vir also let out a heavy sigh.

Whenever he saw Kuma, it always brought up painful memories.

Kuma had granted him such a powerful ability, and Vir was willing to help him again if needed.

If he ever asked…

Hearing that sigh and seeing Vir’s lonely figure, Jina couldn’t help but feel deep admiration for him.

This guy was truly healing people on a whim.

He never asked for any reward.

If he decided to treat someone—whether it was her father, Marco, Whitebeard, or anyone else—Vir never demanded compensation.

With medical skills that powerful, he could have anything he wanted.

Yet he remained true to himself, focused solely on healing, on curing his patients.

It was something Jina genuinely respected.

As Jina lost herself in these thoughts, Vir suddenly appeared in front of her.

“Alright! You’re next! First step—let’s make an identical arm!”

As he spoke, Vir pulled something out of his medical kit.

His chainsaw.

A very useful chainsaw.

The buzzing roar of the chainsaw filled the air almost instantly.

Just as everyone was wondering why a chainsaw was needed to make an arm—

*SCHWING!*

Vir’s chainsaw swung straight toward Jina’s perfectly intact right arm.

*VRRRRR—*

*SPLURT!*

A violent jet of blood erupted from Jina’s right shoulder with enough force to send her flying backward—completely stunned—until she crashed into Shiki’s chest.

Jina was dumbfounded.

Completely and utterly dumbfounded.

Every last bit of respect she had for Vir vanished in an instant.

Staring at her now-missing right arm, feeling the searing pain rapidly setting in—

She wanted to kill him.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You’ve earned 130,000 negative points!]

“WHAT THE HELL, VIR?! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL ’SIMPLE’?!”

“You said you were gonna make an arm, but this isn’t making anything! Don’t tell me that thing in your hand is the ’finished product’?!”

Shiki’s face burned red with fury, his aged features trembling with rage.

But Vir just replied calmly, “I need a reference to work from. Don’t worry, I’ll get started soon. You’ll have it by tomorrow.”

With that, he grabbed Jina’s severed arm in one hand and Robin with the other, heading back to his old room.

Chopper was already perched on his head.

“Vir, I’m done playing around!” Bullet called out, grinning as he waved goodbye to Vir. “I’m heading out. If you ever need anything, come find me.”

With that, Barrett left, and the others from Impel Down followed.

Or rather, they followed Crocodile.

Crocodile was planning to challenge Bullet to a rematch.

Last time, Vir’s billion-Beli strength had crushed him, but now Crocodile had regained his power.

Or rather, he had regained his will to grow stronger.

Seeing Vir’s attitude, Shiki could only sigh in resignation.

What was done was done. It wasn’t like he could just reattach the arm now, right?

That’d make the whole amputation pointless.

Grumbling, Shiki carefully bandaged Jina’s wound, trying to soothe her thoroughly traumatized soul.

Meanwhile, in Mary Geoise…

Saint Saturn had completely lost it.

He had given the self-destruct order—so why the hell hadn’t the damn thing exploded?!

Even the tracking system had been instantly destroyed. Now, they had no idea where Kuma was.

The self-destruct command was supposed to be the highest priority—there was no way it should’ve failed!

The system showed Kuma was still alive, meaning the explosion hadn’t happened.

Furious, Saturn immediately called Vegapunk and started berating him.

“What kind of garbage did you create?! It can’t even self-destruct?!”

Vegapunk was stunned.

Already?! It hadn’t even been that long—why was the self-destruct activated?!

After all the effort he put into perfecting it, they just blew it up like that?!

Panicking, Vegapunk quickly pulled up his own systems.

But after checking, he reached the same conclusion as Saturn.

No feedback. No signals.

Yet Kuma was still active.

What the hell was going on?

Vegapunk racked his brain, ran diagnostics, but found nothing wrong.

Everything was functioning normally.

Even with his genius intellect, he couldn’t figure it out.

No one should’ve been able to alter his programming.

That was absolute.

Yet the facts were undeniable—

It was gone.

All of it.

Then, suddenly, Vegapunk remembered the call from Kizaru earlier.

About how Kuma had been taken by a doctor named Vir.

Could it be him?

But what connection did a doctor have with his systems? None!

Unless…

Had Vir somehow suppressed the control system? Or even restored Kuma’s consciousness?

The more Vegapunk thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

Even if it seemed impossible, it was the only explanation left.

“It must be that doctor. He might have altered something in Kuma.” Vegapunk said, his massive head almost as tall as Saturn himself.

But when Saturn heard his words—

He exploded.

“NONSENSE! You’re telling me a doctor could interfere with your work?! This is your failure!”

“Damn it! If we can’t recall it, then we hunt it down! I refuse to let this weapon fall into someone else’s hands!”

“Even if we have to destroy it ourselves!”

With that, Saturn slammed the Den Den Mushi down.

Vegapunk stared at the slumped snail and sighed.

…Just let him live, will you?

All he wanted was to save his daughter.

What was so wrong about that?

That day, every CP agent across the world received the same orders—

Find the missing PX-0.
