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

Chapter 247: Chapter 247: What… was that sound just now?

“Old Lion, I won’t say much. Back then, I didn’t make a single sound—don’t embarrass yourself now!”

Whitebeard spoke without a hint of shame.

At those words, those in the know threw Whitebeard a strange glance.

Huh?

That counted as “not making a sound”?

If memory served, hadn’t he cried?

And not just cried—he’d been scared into tears by a needle…

But with Jozu’s example fresh in their minds, nobody dared to test just how hard Whitebeard’s fists really were.

Hearing this, Golden Lion steeled his resolve.

There was only one path left today!

He’d rather explode than make a sound!

No way in hell was he screaming!

Whitebeard took one look at Shiki’s expression and immediately understood.

’Fine.’

’Go ahead and hold it in.’

’But from my experience…’

’This is just the warm-up.’

’The real deal’s still coming, Shiki.’

’If you can endure that without breaking…’

’I’ll have to give you a damn thumbs-up.’

Fortunately, after holding it in for a bit, Shiki started getting used to that intense, electrifying sensation.

It wasn’t that unbearable anymore.

This gave him a glimmer of hope—hope that he might yet preserve his dignity.

Two stabs already…

That should be enough, right?

Any more would just be rude.

This wild “treatment” had nearly broken him right from the start.

Thankfully, his willpower was ironclad.

He hadn’t cracked yet.

Once Vir pulls the knife out, this nightmare should be over.

Do whatever else you want—just end this part already.

Shiki glanced up at Vir.

The young man’s expression remained focused, clinical.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, Shiki spotted Jina’s worried gaze.

Jina’s emotions were in turmoil.

After seeing Whitebeard appear—and hearing about his even more absurd treatment—she no longer doubted Vir’s methods.

This guy might actually be able to cure her father.

But… watching Shiki’s pained expression, her heart still ached.

’If only I were a better doctor…’

’Then Father wouldn’t have to endure this inhuman torture…’

Noticing her distress, Shiki forced himself to stay strong.

She was perfect in every way.

Well, except for being a bit spoiled…

To ease her worries, Shiki forced himself to hold it together.

He really forced it.

To reassure her, he mustered every ounce of his strength—

—and winked.

“Piece of cake.”

But the moment he did—

*PUCHI!*

*Puchi-puchi-puchi—!*

The sound of blade piercing flesh erupted in rapid succession!

No more pauses between stabs.

Now, it was a frenzy!

Vir’s hand became a blur!

One hand gripped Shiki’s shoulder—

—while the other unleashed the speed of a man who’d been single for twenty years!

The Vibro-Blade’s intensity was cranked to maximum!

The earlier part was just testing the new tool!

Now comes the main course!

The extreme vibrations, paired with the blinding speed of the thrusts, began liquefying Shiki’s flesh on contact.

Chunks of fatty tissue sloughed off like mud.

His fat was visibly shrinking!

The crowd’s expressions changed in an instant!

Jaws dropped.

This speed—!

How’d it get this fast all of a sudden?

Wasn’t this a bit too fast?

Was this really not gonna turn Shiki into mincemeat?

Even those familiar with Vir were stunned.

This didn’t look like treatment anymore!

Though, to be fair, his “treatments” never looked like treatments.

But this time, it looked especially unlike one!

On Whitebeard’s side, the crew erupted like fireworks.

“It’s happening! It’s happening!”

“It’s started! Vir’s ultimate therapy! A medical technique no one can replicate! Absolute mastery!”

“Replicate?! Hell, no one can even understand it!”

“Holy shit! Is he gonna pop the Golden Lion like a balloon!?”

“Godfather’s skills are legendary! Eighteen stabs a second! Godfather, you’re a god!”

The whole crew watched like they were front row at a strip show.

Whitebeard kept his composure, but inwardly, he was thrilled.

’Just as I thought!’

’The earlier part was just the appetizer.’

’Now, the main course is served.’

’Well, Old Lion?’

’About time we hear you scream, don’t you think?’

Maybe Whitebeard was just too far gone—because right now, nothing brought him more joy than watching his old rivals make fools of themselves.

But no spectator could truly grasp Golden Lion’s experience.

The faster the stabs, the stronger the vibrations—

—and the more mind-shatteringly pleasurable the sensation became!

In this moment, as Shiki felt eighteen blades per second striking different parts of his body—

—as eighteen distinct waves of ecstasy wracked his nerves—

He…

Couldn’t hold it in anymore!

Under the crowd’s eager gazes, Golden Lion finally snapped—

—but the sound he made shattered everyone’s expectations.

“Yeeeaaaah~~~~~!”

A voice, like a sultry girl’s delicate cry, hit everyone’s ears!

Not the rough roar they expected.

Not the wild bellow they imagined.

Just a shrill, almost feminine squeal!

The entire audience froze.

The instant that sound hit their ears—

—goosebumps exploded across their skin.

Pupils dilated. Hearts pounded.

Even Vir stopped mid-stab, staring blankly at Shiki.

The man’s face was now twice as red as before.

Over on the Moby Dick, the Whitebeard Pirates stood like statues.

Every eye was glued to the Den Den Mushi’s projection of Golden Lion.

Even Whitebeard’s brows shot up, his expression one of pure disbelief.

’This guy!’

’Had a girl’s heart all along, huh?’

’Never would’ve guessed…’

’Absolutely never.’

’Gotta keep my distance from now on.’

“What… was that sound just now?”

After a long silence, Marco—unable to cover his ears thanks to the two Den Den Mushi in his hands—voiced the question haunting everyone’s minds.

Another eternity passed before someone answered.

“Sounded like… someone… reached heaven.”

The voice came from the Den Den Mushi—and even it sounded traumatized.

Exactly!

As Jozu said, that sound was too close!

Like a beautiful girl reaching that kind of peak!

And because it was so accurate—

—every single person present was left in shock…
