OP Doctor - Ch 36
🕑 Added 2025-02-24 12:41:49 +0000 UTCChapter 36: I’m Not Late, Am I?
At this moment, everything was unfolding just as Vir had expected.
Inside a small seastone prison, several figures were locked up.
Sanji and Smoker were among them.
Vivi was tied to a chair.
Before her stood a man exhaling clouds of smoke.
Crocodile wore a satisfied grin.
With this, nothing could obstruct his plan anymore.
"This place will soon be submerged by the lake. Do you want to save them?"
Crocodile spoke with a playful smirk as he looked at Vivi.
A metallic key appeared in his hand, making his intentions clear.
But of course, he had no intention of giving it to Vivi.
Instead, he casually tossed the key into the crocodile pit.
These were no ordinary crocodiles—they were ferocious creatures that fed on Sea Kings.
The moment the key hit the water, a crocodile swallowed it whole.
"Hahaha! Now, enjoy your time playing with these little fish!"
With that, Crocodile left with Robin, leaving Vivi tied firmly to the chair.
Luffy was desperately trying to squeeze through the gaps of the iron cage, using all his strength.
But the moment his body touched the Sea-Prism Stone, he collapsed, drained of all energy.
Seeing this, Vivi knew she could no longer afford to sit idly by.
If this continued, they would all die here.
She began twisting her body, trying to use the sharp boomerang at her waist to cut through the ropes.
However, just as she started moving, one of the enormous crocodiles suddenly leaped out of the massive water pit.
It charged straight toward Vivi.
Each step of its massive body sent tremors through the ground.
"Vivi!"
Cries of alarm erupted from inside the cage.
Just as the beast was about to swallow Vivi whole, the ropes snapped!
Vivi sprang to her feet, narrowly dodging the attack.
A confident smile appeared on her face as she wielded her high-speed spinning weapon, radiating a powerful aura.
"Hmph! You ugly croc! Prepare to be taken down!"
Seeing this, hope flickered in everyone's eyes.
Maybe they had a chance!
One minute later…
"Aaaah! Stop chasing me! Why doesn’t it even react when I hit it?!"
Vivi ran in terror as the giant crocodile pursued her relentlessly.
"This is bad! Vivi’s attacks aren’t working! She’s not its match at all!"
Nami watched in distress, knowing Vivi could be devoured at any moment.
"We should have brought Vir along! He would’ve had a way to handle this!"
Usopp said regretfully.
The moment they saw the town, they had all rushed in at full speed, just like Sanji would upon spotting a beautiful woman.
They had completely forgotten about Vir, who had been lagging behind.
"Vir will come to save us!"
Luffy declared with conviction.
"How would he even know we’re here? And even if he did, could he really make it in time?"
Usopp’s words left Luffy momentarily silent.
Yeah… Could Vir really make it that fast…?
"Noooo!"
Suddenly, Nami screamed, pulling everyone’s attention back to Vivi.
She had been backed into a corner, with nowhere left to run.
The crocodile lunged, ready to bite down without a shred of mercy.
"Vivi!"
"Miss Vivi!"
Vivi stared at the approaching jaws, so close she could see the remnants of flesh between its teeth.
There was no way out.
Was this the end?
Had she failed to save anyone after all…?
Hearing her comrades’ desperate shouts from not far away, she closed her eyes in despair, silently awaiting death.
I’m sorry, Luffy, Nami, Vir…
Thank you for everything along the way.
Goodbye…
In that moment, time seemed to freeze.
Seconds passed, but the pain never came.
Am I… dead?
Curious, she slowly opened her eyes, only to see something unexpected.
The crocodile was frozen mid-lunge, less than a meter away from her.
Between her and the beast stood a figure clad in white.
His right leg was slightly raised, pressing firmly against the crocodile’s lower jaw.
That not-so-thick leg was preventing the enormous crocodile from moving forward even an inch.
Her mouth slightly agape as she stared at the familiar silhouette in disbelief.
"V-Vir?"
Her voice trembled.
She had truly been terrified just moments ago.
"I didn’t come too late, did I?"
With one hand in his pocket and the other carrying a medical kit, Vir turned to glance at Vivi, who was still visibly shaken.
But her fear only deepened.
"Watch out!"
She shouted.
The crocodile swung its massive tail toward Vir with incredible speed, giving no room for evasion.
"So annoying…"
Vir muttered, watching the incoming tail.
With a simple and swift upward kick, he struck the crocodile’s tail.
In the next instant, under everyone’s shocked gazes—
The multi-ton crocodile was sent flying through the air by Vir’s sheer strength.
"Hiss~~~ What kind of power is this?!"
A chorus of gasps filled the air.
Then, out of nowhere, a figure appeared before the airborne crocodile.
No flashy moves—just a simple, straightforward kick.
But this time, his foot was coated in a faint black sheen.
"Leg Reinforcement!"
With a thunderous impact, the gigantic crocodile vanished from sight.
Landing gracefully beside Vivi, Vir casually pulled an umbrella from his medical kit and opened it.
Moments later, blood rained from the sky, dyeing the ground a deep crimson.
Only the area shielded by the umbrella remained untouched.
Everyone, even Smoker, stood frozen in shock.
Did they just… see that correctly?
Did Vir just… kick the crocodile out of existence?
"Hiss!!!"
Another round of gasps erupted.
Vir’s strength was exceeding all expectations.
That crocodile might not have been the strongest creature, but its massive body had just been obliterated by Vir’s sheer force!
How much power did it take to accomplish that?
Wasn’t this guy a little too strong?!
Vivi stood in stunned silence.
She had just experienced the terror of that crocodile firsthand.
Her attacks couldn’t even scratch it.
And yet…
Vir had taken it down with a single kick.
The difference between them was immeasurable.
She stared at Vir, who now stood beside her, lips quivering slightly.
"Are you okay?"
Vir asked gently.
