Luffy and the others all turned their heads away at this mont.
The last ti Vir did so welding, Nami and Usopp were moved to tears for an entire night.
Those tears never stopped.
Flowing with their eyes open, flowing even more with their eyes closed.
It was like they'd been chopping onions for hours.
Completely unstoppable!
The two of them just sat there, crying all night long.
At first, watching the bright flashes of welding seed kind of cool.
But co nightti, their eyes felt unbearably sore.
It felt like soone had squeezed lemon juice straight into their eyeballs.
Luffy and the crew may have laughed at the two of them all day long.
But seeing their miserable state made it clear—staring at welding light was a terrible idea.
Now, everyone was behaving.
Not a single person dared to look.
Even the ever-reckless Luffy had no such thoughts.
He was truly afraid that Vir would tell him, "This is an illness, and it needs treatnt."
And then arrange a "treatnt plan" just like he did for Aokiji.
That would be an absolute disaster.
Vir, at this mont, watched as Aokiji's face started shifting into an indescribable state under Robin's handiwork. He couldn't sit still anymore.
This was his dear friend, his sworn brother.
How could he let him walk around like this, unable to face the world?
This was his mistake!
He had to fix it!
Without hesitation, Vir grabbed Robin's slightly shaky hands.
He started smoothing out Aokiji's face.
The uneven bumps and dents began to flow seamlessly. Where Vir welded, there were no visible traces.
After guiding Robin through the finishing touches and patching up the previous welds, the welding process was finally complete.
Thinking about the powerful ability he was about to obtain, Vir's face lit up with joy.
Now, old man just needed to get so teeth back in.
This should be the last step.
The nose was already welded back just now.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've earned 230,000 negative points!]
The system notification kept ringing, always in the thousands.
Vir had already beco numb to it.
Aokiji's teeth had all been shattered just now.
Vir had no intention of fixing them.
Individually implanting them seed like a hassle.
So, he simply pulled out a set of dentures.
Custom-made.
Almost indistinguishable from real teeth.
The only downside was that they were prone to falling out.
But that was an easy fix.
Just weld them in place.
Without further ado, Vir got to work.
No nonsense.
He took out the dentures and shoved them directly into Aokiji's mouth.
Only… the size seed a little off.
Just a tad too big.
No problem!
Vir pulled out a hamr!
With a mighty swing, he smashed the stuck dentures right in!
With a loud *clank*, they were embedded perfectly.
It's not like this was an eye—no need to be overly delicate.
No one would think he'd need to call a dentist out for this, right?
If one hit can settle it, why waste ti?
The next steps were all routine.
The welding kit was still here anyway.
Vir didn't call Robin over this ti.
Mouths were tricky to work with.
Even he had to be careful while welding here.
*Zzzzt—Zzzt…*
The bright welding light began to shine once more.
Thick smoke continuously poured out from Aokiji's mouth.
So of it even got sucked into his lungs as he breathed.
Aokiji was speechless.
Welding fus were actually toxic, but he couldn't be bothered.
It didn't affect him.
It was just that Vir's decision to weld inside his mouth had completely shattered his ntal defenses.
No doubt about it—he had still seen too little of the world.
Enel, watching from afar: "At least you still have to inhale it first. I got welded directly inside my lungs! Even the breathing step got skipped!"
As Vir worked bit by bit, though slower than before, the welding was much sturdier.
Before long, the sizzling sound finally stopped.
Luffy and the others curiously looked over.
But the mont they saw it, their faces changed.
To be honest, at first glance, it was kind of funny.
At second glance, it was pretty terrifying.
For a mont, none of them knew what kind of expression to make.
All they could do was furrow their brows and stare with strange looks.
At this mont, if anyone wanted to recognize Aokiji, they could only do so by his nose.
Only his nose remained exactly the sa.
Everything else? One eye was bigger than the other, but that wasn't the real issue.
The real problem was the dentures, completely exposed like a freakish grin!
Aokiji tried to close his mouth but completely failed!
Because the dentures were too big, he looked like he was constantly flashing an exaggerated smile.
And it was a full grin!
Kind of like Brook.
At this mont, his ntal state completely collapsed!
He couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of reactions he'd face once he returned.
Garp: "I just thought of sothing hilarious."
Sengoku: "My wife is giving birth."
Kizaru: "Kowai ne~ Kuzan-chan~~"
Akainu: "Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!
It's over. I'm done for.
Aokiji's resolve shattered.
Even his laid-back sense of justice was shifting towards utter despair.
At this mont, only Sanji understood Aokiji's pain.
n like them, handso beyond words, cared deeply about their appearances.
If their looks were ruined, their entire philosophy and way of life would crumble!
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've earned 500,000 negative points!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ability: Advanced Armant Haki! (About to break through to Supre Level!)]
It's here!
It's finally here!
Vir stared at the system page, montarily dazed.
Then, excitent kicked in!
Advanced Armant Haki, about to break into the Supre Level.
This...
This just skyrocketed his Haki to an entirely new tier!
Vir could now fully feel the power of Armant Haki.
Even with just interdiate-level Armant Haki, he had been able to injure Aokiji like this.
Sure, there were other factors, and Aokiji wasn't defending.
But no doubt about it—the biggest boost in attack power ca from Armant Haki.
At full release, it was even stronger than a triple-strength charged attack.
Armant Haki was the most solid technique in the later stages of battle.
Aokiji's Haki level was truly strong.
Right now, it was advanced, but two years later, when he fought Garp, it should've broken through to Supre Level.
Garp was definitely at Supre Level.
And here he was, with only a 200 million bounty, already possessing peak Advanced Armant Haki.
Absolutely insane.
Now, Vir felt that if he unleashed his full power, combining Haki with his other techniques…
His strongest attack could probably barely reach the level of an Admiral.
But only barely.
aning he was much stronger than a Vice Admiral candidate.
Still, it was only for a single strike…
Sigh.
While this stolen ability was flawless and undeniably powerful…
For him right now, it was limited.
His stamina could only sustain one full-powered use of Armant Haki.
In terms of overall combat strength, he was probably just past Vice Admiral level…
In short bursts, he could reach Admiral candidate level.
That was plenty for now.
No one in the first half of the Grand Line should be able to take him down.
But endurance was a man's pride!
This couldn't stand.
He needed to boost his physical endurance ASAP!
He was falling behind!
The words "not lasting long" had even entered his thoughts.
He had techniques, he had tricks, but he just couldn't keep going for long.
Unacceptable!
Next stop—Water 7 and Enies Lobby!
Hopefully, Lucci and his crew could put up a fight!
He needed more physical endurance!
A Door-Door Fruit would be nice.
Everything else? Just give him raw physical strength!
Ti to make a wish!
