Everyone was stunned.
No kidding.
Stunned.
Absolutely stunned.
What the hell is going on here?!
Can soone explain what the actual hell just happened?
Just a mont ago, everyone was worried that this guy recklessly trying to stand up right away might be too rash.
And now, he just split the entire island in half with a single kick?!
Has the world gone completely insane?!
Marco stared at Shiki’s new legs, his face a perfect depiction of soone who had just seen sothing beyond comprehension.
His eyeballs were practically popping out of their sockets.
’Holy shit!’
’You’re telling his legs were just a pile of mud five minutes ago?!’
’Damn!’
’Can I get a few pounds of that mud too?!’
’He kicked so hard the island split in half!’
’What a waste of talent not playing soccer with legs like that!’
’Sweet mother of rcy.’
’It was just fixed.’
’Freshly installed.’
’Isn’t this a bit too overpowered?!’
’People with prosthetic limbs or chanical arms don’t adapt this fast, do they?!’
’Not only could you walk right away, but you even—’
’Oh my god. No.’
’I can’t take this anymore.’
’Vir, that damn bastard, is a complete and utter freak!’
’Even a freak like has to call him the grandmaster of freaks.’
’Is this even dicine anymore?!’
’This is straight-up sorcery!’
anwhile, Rayleigh—as soone who had fought Shiki for decades—was arguably the most shocked of everyone present.
He could say with absolute certainty—
That kick just now...
It was undoubtedly the Old Lion’s peak combat power!
His pri-level strength!
Rayleigh was so stunned his jaw nearly dropped to the floor.
What did this even an?
Everyone knew Shiki’s strength had declined.
But now?
With a pair of legs that had only existed for a few minutes, he unleashed an attack matching his pri.
This completely shattered Rayleigh’s worldview.
He almost dropped his Hulk pants in shock.
Now sure, for people like them—legends from the old era—their strength usually doesn’t fade due to physical decline.
It fades because they lose their fighting spirit.
Could it be... after getting those legs, this guy’s fighting spirit ca roaring back?
If so, then the grand stage of the seas was about to welco back another heavyweight contender!
Who knows, maybe this guy would go after the Marines again over Roger’s execution...
If that happened...
Oh, Marines, you’re in for a world of pain.
Because this wasn’t even Shiki’s full power.
If Vir managed to fix his head too...
If his Conqueror’s Haki fully recovered...
And with Vir’s insane ability to boost soone’s strength by a tenth after treatnt...
Marines...
You’re screwed. So screwed.
Rayleigh genuinely couldn’t imagine how crazy the world would beco after this.
He shook his head helplessly.
Ah, whatever.
The sea had been calm for too long.
It was ti for so storms.
After all, storms were the true nature of the ocean.
anwhile, standing beside Shiki,
Jina wasn’t exactly calm either.
She still hadn’t recovered from witnessing that kick.
She was completely dumbfounded.
Just monts ago, she had been urging her father to rest properly.
And now her old man suddenly stood up and perford a one-kick island splitter.
The sheer whiplash of it all nearly gave her a heart attack.
But once she snapped out of it and processed everything, her heartbeat only grew faster.
Because this... was beyond anything she could comprehend.
She stared blankly at the massive fissure in the island.
She stared blankly at Shiki’s legs.
Then she pinched her own cheek, as if checking whether this was all just a dream.
It was reality.
Not only was it reality, but the legs were perfectly healed.
And all of this... had taken less than half an hour?!
No incredibly intricate procedures.
No ridiculously complex techniques.
Hell, Vir hadn’t even examined the wound.
Hadn’t even looked at the stump.
He’d just yanked out those two swords, did... whatever the hell he did, and sohow fixed this supposedly impossible problem in record ti.
Unbelievable.
She could only describe it as unbelievable.
Is this what doctors are like now?!
Jina couldn’t wrap her head around it.
But she knew one thing—that man had done them an enormous favor...
They all turned to look at Vir, who was calmly pulling tools out of his dical kit, as if none of this had anything to do with him.
As if he had already known this would happen.
As if he was completely used to being stared at like this.
In short—
He was calm.
The sheer ease in his deanor was like soone picking up trash on the street while passersby stared.
He didn’t seem to think he had done anything extraordinary.
Seeing Vir like this, Jina found herself stunned once more.
Was sothing like this... just another day for him?
Shiki, anwhile, was brimming with excitent!
That blood of his, long cooled over the years—
Was starting to boil again!
He could feel the heat rushing through him.
He was back.
Truly back.
Aside from his head, he was basically at peak condition now.
How could he not be ecstatic?
Then, he turned his gaze toward his "doctor".
The excitent on his face slowly settled into sothing more complex.
This guy...
This damn bastard...
It was really... hard not to feel grateful.
Shiki took a step forward.
Then another.
Each step carried a strange weight to it.
His expression was a mix of emotions — sowhere between love and hate.
But right now, all he wanted was to grab this damn bastard and hug the life out of him.
He had... really done him a solid.
No wonder Whitebeard had dared to say those things.
This doctor’s skills... really could shake the world.
Just as he reached Vir, arms wide open, ready for a bear hug—
*VRRRRRRRRRRRRRM!!!*
A deafening chanical roar tore through the air.
Before Shiki could even process what was happening, Vir had already slamd him onto the ground.
And then, he witnessed sothing he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Vir had pulled out a freaking chainsaw from his dical kit!
That ear-splitting noise was coming from it!
Hold up!
What kind of doctor keeps a chainsaw in their dical kit?!
Wait, no—how the hell does a chainsaw even fit in there?!
And wait again—that blade earlier ca from the sa kit too!
What kind of bullshit is this?!
Vir, with one foot planted firmly on Shiki’s chest, revved the chainsaw in his hand and imdiately brought it down toward Shiki’s face!
The suddenness of it all nearly gave Shiki a heart attack!
’What the hell?!’
’What the hell are you doing?!’
’I co to you for a heartfelt mont, and you’re trying to saw my eyeballs out?!’
’This ain’t right!’
To be fair, Shiki was strong enough to resist if he wanted to.
But... after the whole leg-restoration miracle, he had co to a realization:
’This guy might be the living devil, but he’s one hell of a doctor.’
’Resist? Why bother?’
’So what if he’s chainsawing my face?’
’If he dares to do it, I’ll dare to let him!’
Admittedly, so things are easier to endure when you’re riding that high.
At that mont, Shiki trusted Vir completely.
He might as well have shouted, "Go wild! I ain’t got much, but I’m damn durable!"
