Vir’s face was practically twisted with glee.
The negative points were coming in faster than a female driver mistaking the gas pedal for the brake!
Compared to before, it was like they were pouring in by the truckload!
[Congratulations, host! You have gained 1,000 Negative Points.]
[Congratulations, host! You have gained 500 Negative Points.]
[Ding…]
In just a short stomach pumping session, he had already racked up over 10,000 points.
And this was just Ace!
He could hardly imagine how intense it would be if it were Whitebeard.
As the last bit of mysterious liquid finally left his system, Ace felt his stomachache subside at last.
But he was still completely drained of energy.
This stomach pumping was too brutal—it had wrung him out completely.
Vir finally stopped. The procedure was officially done.
“Alright, Luffy, you can let go now.”
Vir looked at Luffy, whose muscles were bulging from exertion, veins popping as he held Ace down with all his might. He couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for him.
This guy was definitely going to get a dose of “Fist Of Love: Ace Edition” later.
It might not be as profound as Garp’s, but it would definitely be a lot more violent…
Hopefully, Luffy could withstand it.
Luffy’s job was done, but Vir’s wasn’t.
Ace had stopped hurting because there were no more toxins in his stomach.
But it had already been an hour—he had definitely absorbed quite a bit of it.
“Ace, how do you feel now? Anywhere still uncomfortable?”
Vir decided to ask before proceeding with an examination.
Lying on the ground, barely conscious, Ace first and foremost felt one thing—weakness.
Extreme weakness.
He mentally scanned his own body, searching for the source of the problem.
It seemed to be coming from his lower back.
Though puzzled, he reported it truthfully.
Vir’s expression turned odd at the revelation.
Wait…
Did that supposed tonic not actually replenish stamina?
Instead… it drained it even more?!
And we’re not talking about an ordinary person here.
This was Fire Fist Ace, a Haki-wielding powerhouse with a 550 million bounty!
If even his kidneys couldn’t handle it, then what about regular people…?
Vir suddenly recalled that advertisement—where the old master had downed an entire bottle.
Damn, that guy must’ve been built different.
All Vir could do was admire him.
Now that he knew the cause, treatment was simple.
He picked up a chainsaw lying nearby.
Originally, he had prepared it in case the stomach pumping wasn’t effective—so he could just cut Ace open and manually clean him out.
Turned out, the stomach pumping had been plenty thorough.
He thought the chainsaw wouldn’t be needed anymore.
Guess not.
Ace needed immediate replenishment.
There was no time for slow recovery.
So, Vir turned to his system’s store.
He was filthy rich in points now, so he might as well spend some.
He navigated to the search bar and typed: “kidney supplement.”
The top result instantly caught his eye.
[Super Kidney Boost Pills]
Function: Restores kidney function! Extreme recovery!
Price: 3,000 points.
Review: “Fatigue sometimes comes from overwork, making you feel completely drained. Revitalize and reinforce your foundation with Super Kidney Boost Pills!”
Now this was the real deal.
Not like that so-called tonic, which had “Rumored” properties.
After purchasing the pills, Vir had no intention of letting Ace take them directly.
Orally ingested medicine was too slow.
“Crush these pills, mix them with some goji berry water, and turn them into an injectable solution.”
“Each dose should contain ten pills. Make two doses total.”
Vir handed the materials over to Chopper.
Chopper didn’t hesitate and immediately got to work, carefully blending the ingredients to maximize potency.
Meanwhile, Vir wasn’t idle either.
He wanted to test if this chainsaw was really necessary.
With a powerful yank, the chainsaw roared to life with an ear-splitting buzz.
Ace’s sense of foreboding skyrocketed as he watched the spinning blade.
The others, however, looked completely unfazed.
As spectators, they found it entertaining.
But if they were in Ace’s position, it would be a different story.
And, just as Ace feared…
Vir stepped forward, planting his foot firmly on Ace’s lower back.
Then, he swung the chainsaw down.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa! HEY! WHAT THE HELL?!”
Ace was genuinely panicking now.
Bro, if I knew this was your idea of “treatment”, I’d rather die outside!
Now he finally understood why Nami and the others had praised his courage earlier on the ship.
If he could go back in time, he would stay as far away from Vir as possible!
This guy was insane!
Ace struggled as best he could.
But in his weakened state, he was powerless.
The chainsaw came down.
Why use a chainsaw?
One, it was great for racking up Negative Points. Two, a regular scalpel might not even cut Ace’s ridiculously tough body.
[Congratulations, host! You have gained 8,000 Negative Points!]
[Congratulations, host! You have gained 5,000 Negative Points!]
[Ding…]
Negative Points were flooding in like crazy.
But Vir ignored them.
He was fully focused on Ace’s kidneys.
His initial medical skills weren’t top-tier, so he needed to concentrate.
Concentrate on surgically removing Ace’s kidneys…
Chainsaw kidney surgery—this was a first for him, too, so he was a bit inexperienced.
But judging by the system’s constant chimes, he knew the chainsaw was the right choice.
The Super Kidney Boost Pills had potent effects, but they might not be enough on their own.
To ensure total recovery, he had to remove the kidneys first, inject them directly, and then put them back in.
Soon, two organs, vaguely shaped like ears, were extracted.
Ace stared in shock.
Did this madman just chainsaw his kidneys out?!
Before he could process it, he noticed something even weirder.
His kidneys…
They looked completely shriveled.
Practically dried-up husks.
What the hell…?
Hadn’t he always taken good care of himself?!
Why did his kidneys look so damn weak?!
Ace was dumbfounded.
He was still a virgin, damn it!
How the hell were his kidneys in this state?!
“Ace, you need to take better care of yourself. I mean, we all get it, but…” Vir coughed lightly. “You really should practice some restraint~”
As soon as Vir finished speaking, Ace’s face turned red with embarrassment.
Damn it!
No matter what he said now, no one would believe him!
This lunatic had literally taken his kidneys out!
How was he supposed to argue his case…?
As he felt the judgmental stares of those around him, Ace burned with shame.
Humiliation.
Utter humiliation!
This was beyond embarrassing!
