At this mont, Ace was like a dying man suddenly sitting bolt upright in bed.
With a loud thud, he shot upright, sitting stiff as a board.
His flas had just blasted Garp away.
After sitting up, Ace aid his flas at the flying Garp...
It seed he had a major issue with Garp's earlier actions.
Even as Garp was sent flying, Ace kept chasing him with fire.
Before long, Ace's flas finally dissipated.
Dazed, he slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was Garp, not too far ahead.
But this Garp...
Looked a little different.
How to put it... He was a bit reflective.
Yeah.
That's right.
Ace's flas had just turned Garp bald...
No idea why the guy didn't dodge.
Was he that eager to feel Ace's passion...?
"Huh? Who's that shiny egg? I'm so hungry... Wonder if it's edible."
Already confused, Ace was even more bewildered at the sight of a moving shiny egg.
"Where? Where?! I wanna eat it too! Oh? It really is a shiny egg!"
From behind Ace, two voices chid in simultaneously.
Both sets of eyes were practically sparkling as they stared at Garp.
Seeing this, even Vir—who had been checking his system rewards—facepald on the spot.
Well, damn.
No wonder these guys got along so well.
This was the kind of circle he couldn't squeeze into.
Too hardcore.
Sure enough.
Half a second later.
The familiar bonk-bonk-bonk rang out as expected.
A massive lump sprouted on each of their heads—way bigger than the last one.
"OW! OWOWOWOWOW! Damn old man! Cheap shot! No honor! You'd better watch your back!"
All three clutched their heads, tears streaming.
They imdiately recognized who this "shiny egg" was.
Only one person could deliver such profound love.
Though Ace's words darkened Garp's expression for a second...
In the end, relief and joy—the kind that cos from narrowly escaping death and regaining what was lost—spread across Garp's face.
He glanced down at his fist.
For so reason, he felt like he hadn't quite controlled the strength in those three punches...
But no matter what.
Ace was really back!
And this fact—
Wasn't just known to Garp.
The entire world knew now.
If it were just flas, people might've thought the guy had pulled so trick on the corpse.
But now?
A living, breathing person.
Jumping around, full of energy.
Completely, utterly revived!
This ti, the world truly couldn't stay seated.
"NANI?! NANI NANI?! HE REALLY BROUGHT HIM BACK?! BUT HE WAS DEAD!"
"This guy is kinda too insane. Can you even call him a doctor anymore? He's beyond that!"
"Reviving the dead... 'Doctor' my ass! CALL HIM DADDY! THAT'S MY DADDY!"
In just a few minutes, Vir had demonstrated what a top-tier doctor looked like.
His proof was very successful.
Once again, the world was stunned into silence by his sheer dominance.
Eardrum-shattering screams erupted everywhere.
Anywhere with a Den Den Mushi broadcasting the scene—
Exploded with deafening roars at the sa ti.
They had witnessed history.
Witnessed a miracle.
The miracle of reviving the dead!
Whole Cake Island, Dressrosa, Amazon Lily, Fish-Man Island—all erupted with sky-shaking exclamations.
What they were seeing now—
Was unfathomable.
Even the fish-n who despised humans had their eyes on Vir now—
Filled with worship and respect.
Even their King Neptune was no exception.
Neptune's massive fra, seated on his throne, leaned forward as far as it could.
His bulging eyes showed just how shocked he was.
A human, with such incredible ability.
Those fools in Fish-Man District were so shortsighted.
Humans—must not be made enemies! Absolutely must not!
Otohi was right.
Her foresight... She probably anticipated this long ago.
Humans now have soone who can revive the dead.
This level of dicine—it defied logic.
"Father... that miracle doctor seems close to Whitebeard. Do you think... maybe he could co help treat our sister soday?"
Neptune's eldest son spoke up, his voice thick with concern for his sister.
And as it happened, Neptune had the sa thought.
"Hmm. I had the sa thought. I'll find a way to get in contact. Maybe we can ask him to visit."
After that, the two said no more.
Little did they know—this decision of theirs would bring Shirahoshi an imnse "salvation".

anwhile, at the Revolutionary Army's base.
"EEEEEEHHHHHHH?!"
Like everywhere else, screams of disbelief dominated.
Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
They stared at the screen like goldfish.
Even Dragon was wide-eyed.
This kid...
He actually brought a dead man back to life.
Dragon genuinely couldn't wrap his head around how.
And neither could anyone else.
From what they saw—
He just stabbed the corpse with a knife,
then fiddled with that Big Mom toy.
Dragon didn't even blink!
Had he missed sothing in between?!
How did it suddenly turn into this?!
What the hell had even happened?!
And behind them—
Sabo, who had been fuming earlier when Vir rubbed that unholy thing all over Ace's face—
Now stood frozen, eyes wide.
Watching the screen where Ace was alive and kicking...
He was stunned.
My brother... my brother is not dead.
He really ca back!
After a brief daze, Sabo finally understood the overwhelming relief Garp must've felt—
The joy of getting back what was lost.
His brother, who should've been dead...
Was alive again.
This was the greatest fortune of his life.
Overwheld, Sabo's eyes welled up.
Watching Ace rolling around on the ground, he laughed—
Even as tears fell.
Thank goodness.
Thank goodness.
There's still ti.
He had woken up in ti.
"Sabo! Sabo! That guy really revived your brother!"
A cheerful Koala clung to Sabo's arm, looking even happier than he was.
Hearing this, Sabo suddenly realized—
Oh no...
I've made a fool of myself again.
Didn't I just try to kill him earlier...?
He was saving soone—fighting to pull a life back from death's grip.
What kind of unshakable bond must he have to do that?!
And I—I doubted him again!
I'm scum. I'm a damn scum!
Sabo's expression quickly shifted from joy to regret, self-bla—
And the urge to slap himself twice.

anwhile, on a small island far from the battlefield...
A girl with long, two-toned hair—wearing what looked like headphones—
Stared in shock at the screen, her eyes locked on Vir's dazed face...
