At this mont.
High above the seas, more than a hundred kiloters from Amazon Lily.
Several figures were swiftly flying toward the island.
The Whitebeard Pirates had already been dropped off on the other side of the Red Line by Golden Lion, directly entering the New World.
They knew the situation was urgent and that they had to return quickly.
Everyone had gathered on the Moby Dick.
Though the ship had sustained so damage, it was still seaworthy.
With Whitebeard unconscious, Marco naturally took command.
eting his lovely girlfriend could wait—now was definitely not the ti!
Under Marco’s leadership, the Whitebeard Pirates set sail once again!
Jinbe was dropped off at Sabaody Archipelago on the way.
The Whitebeard Pirates knew they had to hurry back to the New World.
Similarly, Jinbe understood that his holand might be facing a grave crisis.
Filled with anxiety, he imdiately set off on his journey ho.
Before leaving, however, he made sure to get Vir’s Den Den Mushi number.
Due to the rush, there wasn’t much ti to talk.
He simply promised to refer clients to Vir if any ca his way.
Naturally, Vir wasn’t about to refuse.
As for Yamato, she was taken away without question.
Kaido had co specifically to retrieve his daughter, and now that he had found her, he wasn’t letting her go.
Before leaving, Yamato reluctantly bid Ace farewell.
Ace, in turn, promised to bring Vir and Luffy to visit her soti later.
Kaido didn’t say anything.
After all, he was the one who had killed Oden. No matter how you looked at it, there was bad blood between him and the Whitebeard Pirates.
But given the circumstances back then, he couldn’t have spared Oden just for Whitebeard’s sake.
He had been planning to overthrow a country.
As things stood now, the only reason a fight hadn’t broken out was that Whitebeard hadn’t woken up yet.
Kaido had killed one of his family mbers.
Marco and the others had certainly considered fighting Kaido.
But there just wasn’t a chance.
In the middle of a war like Marineford, picking a fight with Kaido? Did they still want to save their captain or not?
Now, the matter could only be left unsettled.
Kaido didn’t object to Ace’s promise to visit Yamato.
After all, he wasn’t coming alone.
That guy would be with him...
Looking at Vir, Kaido felt deeply uncomfortable.
Yamato, too, blushed slightly at Ace’s words and glanced at Vir.
But since Ace frad it as coming to express gratitude, she couldn’t exactly refuse...
In the end, father and daughter left, both weighed down by their own thoughts.
Now, only the escapees from Impel Down, along with Luffy, Robin, and Chopper, remained.
"Hey, brat! Don’t you dare pull any tricks! Once we get there, the first thing you’re doing is fixing my daughter’s arm! Marco already said you agreed! Don’t even think about backing out!"
Shiki crossed his arms, his two cigars clamped between his teeth as he glared at Vir.
Vir sighed and nodded yet again.
"Yeah, yeah! Old man, you’re seriously annoying! The only one worse than you is that idiot Jozu! You’ve asked at least eight tis already on this trip alone!"
But instead of getting angry, Golden Lion actually grinned in satisfaction.
Anyone who didn’t know better might think he had so masochistic tendencies.
Of course Vir was going to treat Jina.
No matter how unlikable she was, treatnt was treatnt!
Especially now that she was Marco’s little girlfriend.
Marco had gone to great lengths for her sake.
He had promised that if they encountered anyone with decent strength or abilities on their way back, he’d spare their lives.
He’d beat them half to death, then either wait for Vir to co treat them or deliver them to him personally.
That was an incredibly generous offer.
Besides, Jina’s abilities were quite impressive.
Vir had been eyeing them for a while.
The only reason he hadn’t treated her imdiately was to let that brat suffer a little.
If he healed her right after beating her up, she’d probably assu Golden Lion had forced him into it.
So yeah.
Let her face reality first.
As for how to treat her...
Vir already had a plan.
Using Vibro-Blade on her was out of the question.
A weakling like her wasn’t worth the durability loss.
The Pot couldn’t heal severed limbs either.
And with her frail body, there was no need for anything fancy.
He’d just replicate her remaining right arm and attach an identical left one.
For him, that was child’s play.
She was lucky she was so weak.
The treatnt itself would involve cutting off the petrified part of her shoulder and attaching the new arm.
Problem solved.
Of course, the cutting and attaching wouldn’t be particularly gentle.
As for why he couldn’t just undo the petrification...
Simple—he couldn’t!
The damn system had given him a passive ability.
Passives couldn’t be deactivated!
Once petrified by Vir’s attacks, congratulations—amputation was the only option!
That said, Vir could control the extent and location of the petrification with precision.
But reversing it? Impossible.
Before long, they arrived back at Amazon Lily.
They landed right in the center of the arena.
Thanks to Golden Lion’s advance notice, the area had been cleared of civilians.
As soon as Vir and the others appeared, the remaining group rushed over.
"So, Vir! Did you manage to save that old man Whitebeard?"
Rayleigh stepped forward eagerly the mont they touched down.
But truth be told, even Rayleigh hadn’t held out much hope.
At Whitebeard’s level, even injuries were hard to treat, let alone saving his life.
"He’s alive!"
Shiki answered casually on Vir’s behalf.
"The process was... a little brutal, but Whitebeard’s definitely awake now thanks to this brat."
Golden Lion’s tone was nonchalant.
But even if Rayleigh had used his ass to think, he’d have known that "a little brutal" was a massive understatent.
Whitebeard had probably lost all dignity by now...
This brat, Vir, was sothing else. To pull off a miracle in that situation?
Youth these days... really were sothing.
Suddenly, a crackle of electricity echoed through the air.
Soon, everyone noticed an unfamiliar figure among the landing party.
All eyes turned to the massive man sitting motionless on the ground.
Only Bonney, upon seeing him, snapped her gaze toward Vir with an expression of utter disbelief.
The dullness in her eyes slowly gave way to a glimr of light.
He... brought him back.
Which ant... maybe...
There was still hope after all!
