And what about Vir?
His brain was on the verge of crashing.
What the heck?
What in the world was going on?
He still couldn't figure out why he wasn't getting a single negative point.
No matter how much he frowned and pondered, he couldn't make sense of it.
Could it be that the scarred part of her back had completely lost sensation?
Did she not feel a thing when the lips touched her?
But that didn't add up.
Her face was clearly flushed red-hot.
If she had no sense of touch, how could she be blushing like that?
It made no sense.
Absolutely no sense.
Could it be because of the lips?
Ever since the lips made their appearance, the negative points had completely vanished.
If that was the case, he needed to switch tactics fast!
He couldn't keep going like this.
Ti to prep.
Ti for a foot massage.
He couldn't let this drag on.
If it did, the treatnt would be over soon.
And then where would he farm his points?!
Vir started getting ready.
anwhile, Rayleigh, from the mont this started, hadn't blinked once, his eyes locked on Vir.
But after watching for so long...
He hadn't seen a hint of anything lewd in the kid's eyes.
Even an old man like him was a bit shocked.
He was starting to question Vir's orientation.
But if Vir was into guys...
Wouldn't Rayleigh have been in trouble ages ago?
So he imdiately dismissed that idea.
The kid clearly liked won.
But when faced with beautiful won, he didn't react at all!
What kind of bizarre creature was he?
Did he only like those "teachers" from videos and not real-life beauties?
All theory, no practice?
That was just too ridiculous.
At any rate, Rayleigh was completely at ease now.
At the very least, during treatnt, Vir's eyes held nothing but focus.
All he cared about was curing the patient.
Just monts ago, Rayleigh had noticed Vir frowning, deep in thought.
Maybe the lips wasn't effective enough, so he was considering a new solution.
Say what you will, Vir was a darn good doctor!
But that device... it wasn't exactly useless.
The deep scar had visibly faded.
Still, not getting points was absolutely unacceptable.
Vir quickly stashed the lip-shaped device.
He looked at Rayleigh with a troubled expression and said, "This treatnt doesn't seem very effective, but don't worry, I've got other thods."
"Though for this new technique... you might not want to stick around, old man."
The mont Vir finished speaking...
Rayleigh turned and left.
He didn't even ask a single question.
Vir was stunned.
What the heck, man?
You're just leaving like that?
At least ask sothing!
How the hell is he supposed to explain the procedure to the patient now?!
Vir stood there, dumbfounded.
What was with this old man?
He trusted him that much?
And that was it—Rayleigh's ultimate show of approval.
No questions.
Just trust.
Rayleigh was giving him the highest level of confidence.
In his heart, Hancock was like a daughter.
Yet here he was, leaving his "daughter" on a bed with just one man.
Even Vir had to admit, that was so next-level trust.
Yo, Kuzan, you old fossil.
Look at this!
Take notes!
Learn from Rayleigh here!
Now this is what you call trust!
Unlike you!
As soon as Rayleigh stepped out, a crowd imdiately sward him.
"What the hell's going on in there? What kind of twisted stuff were you two doing? I don't even wanna say it! How could you do sothing so perverted?!"
Marco was the first to interrogate him.
Their little act had deeply wounded his heart.
"Nah, Vir was just treating Hancock. He was using so lip-shaped device to heal her." Rayleigh explained quietly to the group.
"I went in to keep an eye on him, but after watching for a while, I'm completely confident in him."
Rayleigh gave a relaxed smile.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
So it was just a lip device.
Rayleigh was only there to supervise.
And from the sound of it, Vir was being perfectly professional.
Chopper's faith in doctors was restored.
Luffy got it.
After all, Vir often had so weird tools.
Yamato and Bonney nodded in understanding.
Robin relaxed too.
Only Marco's face was a mix of emotions.
Oh, co on.
You guys are serious?
Can he really pull off a treatnt like this?
This guy is sothing else.
The world's most beautiful woman is lying there, completely at his rcy.
And he's not fazed at all.
Respect.
In his mind, Marco gave Vir a big thumbs-up.
anwhile, Vir, after putting away the lips, prepared to flip Hancock over.
First, he took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed where only the Pirate Empress had ever rested.
Grabbing Hancock's arm, he first pulled her to the center of the bed.
Positioned her right in the middle.
This way, he'd have room to sit and give her a foot massage.
Then he flipped her over.
And the mont he did...
Vir's eyes went wide.
Because right now, Hancock's eyes were tightly shut.
Her face bore no other color—just a deep, alluring pink.
She looked like a sleeping beauty.
But those trembling eyelashes betrayed how unsettled she was.
Holding her arm...
Vir could clearly feel her strong, forceful pulse.
Whether the pulse was strong or not wasn't the issue.
But this heart rate was outrageous!
It had to be over 280!
Holy crap!
Even if people in this world were tougher than those on Earth, this heart rate was definitely not normal!
280?!
Was she losing it??
And why was her face so red?
It was practically steaming!
What in the world was going on?
How had he not noticed any other symptoms earlier?
Vir hurriedly placed a hand on her forehead.
The mont he touched her, it wasn't just warm—it was scorching!
Holy crap!
It was this bad??
What was wrong with her?
She wasn't about to kick the bucket, was she?
Vir had been a doctor—a veterinarian—for years.
Yet, this was the first ti he'd encountered sothing like this.
He was genuinely afraid Hancock might just drop dead.
Rayleigh had just left!
If she died now, how was he supposed to explain this?!
In a panic, a spark of electricity flashed from Vir's right hand, still on Hancock's forehead.
The arc quickly sank into her body.
Vir could use this thod to diagnose her condition.
But the mont he activated his ability,
Hancock, who had kept her eyes tightly shut until now, slowly opened them upon feeling the touch on her forehead.
The instant their eyes t,
Vir's pupils still carried a faint trace of purple lightning from his ability.
And Hancock saw it—clear as day.
