At first, Chopper used the Blue Wave Pill to switch between different transformation forms, catching Wapol off guard.
One moment he was defending with thick fur, the next he was charging with brute force and antlers.
Though Chopper gave Wapol a tough time and even embarrassed him for a while, it didn't last long—Wapol eventually figured things out.
After shoveling a bunch of snow into his mouth, Wapol suddenly "respawned" at full health.
He began pressing the attack, pummeling Chopper back.
The tables turned instantly.
Boom!
Unable to dodge in time, Chopper took a direct hit to the head from a cannonball.
His body was sent flying like a ragdoll.
Crash!
He slammed into the wall near the door.
Inside, Weir saw this and grew anxious.
"Chopper can't hold on much longer…"
Luckily, the treatment was nearly finished.
The bruises on his back had mostly faded, and the internal injuries were largely healed.
But… his face—Weir genuinely didn't dare look.
"All done," Weir muttered, patting Zhi on the back.
[Ding! Congratulations, Su 덿 has gained the skill: Physical Fitness!]
"…Physical fitness? That's it?"
Weir felt a little cheated.
What he really wanted was Zhi's kicking skills—physical fitness was useless to him!
He didn't even know how to apply it.
The original plan was:
Cure the guy → Gain his kicking technique → Use that power to crush everyone.
But now he only got basic fitness.
That's not enough!
Chopper's already on the brink of death.
One round of healing won't help him survive Wapol's next attack!
I have to shadow Zhi again. There might still be more to gain!
Thinking this, Weir quickly looked around for something—anything.
Nearby, Zhi had just recovered and was on his feet.
His back no longer hurt, and his mind was clear.
But his face… well, Weir didn't want to bring that up.
Still, Zhi stood up, ready to rush over and help Chopper.
But then—Weir pointed a mirror at him.
Silence.
Zhi froze.
He stared blankly into the mirror.
Then, two seconds later…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"
A scream like a dying pig rang out.
Everyone turned to look at him.
Their expressions instantly changed—from concern to sheer horror.
What kind of face was that?!
One eye was bigger than the other, the nose pointed straight forward with flared nostrils, and the mouth was so wide it exposed every last crooked tooth—more extreme than buck teeth.
The face was square and weirdly upright, twisted in the ugliest expression imaginable.
Even Wapol would be too disgusted to open his mouth after seeing that face.
As Zhi looked at his own reflection, a chill swept through his heart.
His whole expression collapsed.
The face was already horrifying, but paired with a broken spirit, it was enough to make any child cry on sight.
Zhi's mind spiraled.
I'm done for.
I'll never be able to show my face again.
No girl will ever like me.
Even Nami-san is looking at me like I'm a freak.
My pervy dreams are over.
So is my cooking career.
No one will ever eat my food again—not even me.
Just seeing this face makes me lose my appetite…
"AAAAHHH!! I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS!! LET ME DIE!!!"
Zhi collapsed on the floor, as if Perona's Negative Ghost had just passed through him.
He knelt in complete despair, questioning the very meaning of his existence.
[Ding! Congratulations, Su 덿 has earned 1000 negative points!]
[Ding! Su 덿 has acquired the skill: Cooking!]
The system's voice rang out again.
Yes!!
The kicking skill's finally here!
It wasn't for nothing—he finally got it!
If a patient is shadowed twice, he can get two different abilities!
And he was lucky enough to get Zhi's kicking technique.
Feeling the knowledge of how to use his legs flood into his mind, Weir suddenly felt incredibly powerful.
Even Wapol couldn't scare him now!
"Zhi! Get up!" Luffy shouted anxiously. "That deer's gonna die!"
Chopper was lying there, gasping for air, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Weir no longer hesitated.
His little apprentice had been fighting too long on his own!
He charged forward.
Everyone stared at him, confused.
He's a doctor—why's he running in like that?
Shouldn't he be working on waking up Zhi instead?
"Hey! Doc! Where do you think you're going? Wanna die or something?!"
Luffy shouted.
Nami chimed in too: "You'll only make things worse! Just focus on healing!"
Even Doctor Dory's wife looked worried.
This guy was being completely reckless.
There was no way he could help now.
…And yet, despite how foolish it looked, it was heartwarming.
What Weir was doing—rushing out to help Chopper—proved he was a good master.
A real one.
The kind that would risk his life for his apprentice.
But Weir ignored all the shouting.
He had no time for words.
Because—right then—Wapol was holding a massive sledgehammer made from eaten wall bricks, aiming to smash Chopper flat.
The hammer was the size of three furnaces, and he was bringing it down with a leaping strike.
"Moo hahahaha! You monster—go to hell!"
Wapol roared as he came crashing down with a half-moon slash.
Chopper had shrunk back to his smaller form.
He couldn't dodge.
Eyes closed, he braced for the end.
Master… I haven't learned anything yet… am I going to die like this?
But no pain came.
Slowly, he opened his eyes.
In front of him stood a tall figure—
Weir.
He had caught the massive sledgehammer with his feet.
The hammer couldn't move an inch.
From behind, the figure looked small—almost frail.
But that same small figure was holding back a weapon that could crush a boulder.
Everyone watching—Nami, Luffy, even the doctors—gaped in shock.
"WHAT THE HELL?!"
Nami shouted. "Isn't he just a doctor?! How can he be this strong?!"
Even Luffy was speechless.
He thought Weir was just a weak healer…
But this strength? It was off the charts.
Doctor Dory's wife was stunned too.
She never imagined he was this powerful.
With his hands in his pockets (because he could only use his legs), Weir turned to look at Chopper.
"Watch closely, Chopper."
"A doctor who can only heal… isn't a good doctor."
"Some diseases… can only be cured by fists and feet."
