One Piece: Don't Worry, I'm a Doctor-Chapter 298: Nice weather today~

*Crack!*

Five bolts of lightning struck simultaneously.

Despite their best efforts to defend themselves, the group could only barely withstand the thunderous assault—but at a cost.

And before they could recover, the towering wave of deadly poison crashed over them, swallowing them whole.

Just before being submerged, Blackbeard glared at Vir, who stood mere feet away, his face twisted with venomous hatred.

"I’LL KILL YOUR MOM, YOU BASTARD!!"

*Boom!*

The toxic wave slammed violently against the prison gates, shaking the entire structure.

Magellan’s ten poison dragons had been unleashed without mercy, leaving no room for escape.

Running was the only way to survive—but with Vir here, there was no survival.

As the poison receded, all that remained were puddles of crimson liquid.

The Blackbeard Pirates lay scattered across the ground, their skin rapidly turning black and purple. Within seconds, their bodies were paralyzed.

The agonizing corrosion of their flesh elicited a chorus of screams—chief among them, a grating, glass-eating shriek that echoed endlessly.

Blackbeard writhed as the poison seared through him, the excruciating double pain nearly making him lose control of his bodily functions. Only sheer willpower kept him from completely breaking down—but the screams? Those, he couldn’t hold back.

Meanwhile, Magellan stared at his own hands in stunned silence.

...Did he just get stronger?

His poison had taken on a deeper, darker red hue—something he’d never seen before. Since when could he produce crimson venom?

Not just that—his strength, speed, even his Armament Haki had all noticeably improved.

What the hell was going on?

Before this, he’d undergone... well, let’s call it a less-than-pleasant "treatment", right?

Could a treatment actually boost his strength?

Not only had it cured his chronic diarrhea, but now his power had skyrocketed to this level?

Why was this pirate so... unpredictable?

Though a man of strict duty, Magellan began to consider how he might repay the favor—

even though Vir had never asked for anything.

But ignoring it... it just didn’t sit right with him.

Maybe it was because his stomach problems had plagued him for so long that this meant everything to him.

His glare returned to the immobilized Blackbeard Pirates, fury still simmering.

How dare they cause trouble in Impel Down!

They’ve signed their own death warrants!

"Whatever your plans were, Blackbeard—they end here. Suffer in agony until your wretched lives fade away!"

As Magellan delivered his righteous declaration, a figure stepped up beside him.

Vir gazed down at Blackbeard—whose lips trembled in pain—and smiled.

Magellan hesitated, conflicted.

Should he attack Vir?

...But that would be ungrateful.

While Magellan wrestled with his conscience, electricity crackled around Vir’s hand.

Before either could speak, Blackbeard let out a desperate wail.

"DAD! MY REAL DAD! PLEASE SAVE ME! I WAS WRONG! I BEG YOU!"

Forcing a groveling grin through the pain, Blackbeard prostrated himself, dignity discarded.

This was his only shot.

Magellan would never give him the antidote. Their deaths were guaranteed.

The sole hope left was Vir—a man he’d barely met, with no real grudge between them.

"I’LL DO ANYTHING! JUST SAVE ME! AHHH, IT HURTS SO MUCH!"

Blackbeard’s pleas were frantic, his body wracked with torment.

To him, pride meant nothing compared to survival.

Death erased everything.

After all his scheming, he refused to fall here.

Vir glanced at Magellan, amused.

"You heard him. A patient’s calling for help. I can’t just ignore that."

His calm words sent shockwaves through the room.

Blackbeard, of course, was ecstatic.

He hadn’t expected it to work this easily.

’I’m saved! I’m gonna live!’

Even as his body burned, his heart pounded with euphoria.

His crewmates, however, were baffled.

...Was this guy insane?

Why would he save his enemies?

Magellan shared their confusion.

Hadn’t Blackbeard just insulted him?

And yet, Vir called him a patient—as if he’d heal anyone in need.

...A man of such principles?

For a pirate, his character was impeccable.

But letting him heal Blackbeard...

That didn’t sit right.

Then again...

Could he even stop him?

Reports had already come in—Shiryu, that traitor, had been sliced to pieces by this man.

What was he supposed to do? Throw his life away?

Plus... he owed Vir a favor.

With a sigh, Magellan clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at the ceiling.

"Ahhh, lovely weather today! Hm... stomach’s acting up again. Gotta find a bathroom."

"These criminals? Eh, I’ll collect their corpses later."

Whistling cheerfully, he strolled away—making very sure not to glance at Vir.

When guards rushed over, he even sealed the entrance between Level 1 and Level 2 with his new crimson poison.

"Testing out the new ability~ Works like a charm!"

And with that, Magellan vanished, his jaunty whistling fading into the distance.

Vir chuckled and shook his head.

Well then.

It was time to give his dear son the treatment he deserved.
