Chinese Medical Arts

"I hope the result satisfies me!"

"Otherwise, you'll regret it!"

The Empress bit down lightly on her silver teeth, her tone brimming with threat!

Although women in the One Piece world were generally carefree and bold!

That did not mean they could casually let another man see their bodies!

Especially the Empress, the ruler of an entire nation!

"Kid, you'd better behave yourself!"

Boa Marigold shot Wu An a glare!

Faced with such ill intent, Wu An merely smiled calmly and paid it no mind!

Not to mention that, with Wu An's strength, only the Empress and her two sisters posed even a slight threat among the entire Kuja Pirates!

After all, aside from controlling Qi-State Origin-Flow, Wu An also possessed the Vajra Talisman!

The former was hailed as the "end of all techniques," while the latter could increase Wu An's physical abilities fivefold!

When stacked together, the two were far more than a simple one-plus-one!

They brought an increase of several times, perhaps even dozens of times!

However, the Vajra Talisman was ultimately a consumable item!

Wu An had already used one in the world of The Outcast!

He only had two uses left!

Unless it was a critical moment, Wu An did not want to waste them!

Besides that, Wu An also had an Earth Escape Talisman!

It allowed him to escape to any location within a ten-mile radius!

Like the Vajra Talisman, this Earth Escape Talisman had come from the beginner's gift pack Wu An opened in the world of The Outcast!

It could be said to be Wu An's greatest life-saving trump card at the moment!

Then,

Under the watchful eyes of the sisters Boa Marigold and Boa Sandersonia, Wu An walked up to the Empress with silver needles in hand!

It had to be said, the Empress was truly beautiful!

Observing her up close, Wu An discovered that her skin was fair and delicate, as though water could be squeezed from it, while her deep blue eyes resembled an unfathomable ocean!

She truly deserved her title as the most beautiful woman in the One Piece world!

Other than Luffy, who had been favored by fate, no man had ever been able to resist the Empress's allure!

Yet Wu An only lost himself for half a second before recovering, his gaze becoming calm once more!

This caused the Empress's lovely face to change slightly!

As the captain of the Kuja Pirates, the Empress often led expeditions abroad!

During those expeditions, she encountered all kinds of men!

But whenever those men saw her, their eyes would be filled with intense desire and possessiveness!

She had never seen a man like Wu An, one who showed no attachment whatsoever to her beauty!

Moreover, Wu An possessed such a unique temperament!

In an instant, a strange feeling rose within the Empress's heart!

Soon, the Empress turned around and slowly removed her clothes, revealing her fair, smooth back!

This left Wu An slightly stunned!

Originally, he had thought the Empress would hesitate for a while!

He had not expected her to trust him so much!

But since the Empress had already done this!

Wu An cared even less!

Wu An slowly took out a silver needle and flicked his hand lightly!

Whoosh!

The silver needle turned into a flash of silver light and pierced an acupoint on the Empress's back!

"What are you doing?!"

"How dare you use silver needles to assassinate the Empress?!"

Boa Marigold and Boa Sandersonia witnessed this scene!

The two sisters were immediately both shocked and furious!

They believed Wu An was harming the Empress!

What kind of joke was this?!

That silver needle had pierced into her body; how could that not be harm?

Thus, they immediately prepared to rush forward and subdue Wu An!

"You barbaric foreigners!"

"How could you possibly understand our Chinese medical arts?!"

Wu An did not even look at them as he sneered!

"Don't come over!"

At that moment, the Empress spoke!

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

"This should be a form of treatment!"

The Empress could feel it.

Streams of warmth flowed across her back!

"Big Sister, this brat definitely has ulterior motives!"

"We absolutely can't let him succeed!"

Boa Marigold shouted!

"This is my decision!"

"Do you intend to defy me?"

The Empress's voice turned cold!

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the two sisters reluctantly retreated!

"Hmph!"

Wu An snorted coldly!

Yet his movements did not pause in the slightest!

One silver needle after another flew from his hand and pierced the Empress's back!

Time slowly passed!

Ten minutes later, grayish-brown impurities faintly began to seep out from the Empress's back!

Moreover, the once crystal-clear Hoof of the Soaring Dragon mark was gradually fading!

It looked as though it were slowly disappearing!

This...

Boa Marigold and Boa Sandersonia were dumbfounded!

What... what was going on?

Why was the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon mark, deeply branded onto the Empress's back, undergoing such a change?

Could it be...

This man really had not lied?

Did he...

Really have the ability to remove the Celestial Dragons' slave mark?

Unbelievable!

This was far too unbelievable!

Just who was this man?

The sisters' faces were filled with immense shock!

Not only that, but when they looked at Wu An, there was now a trace of reverence in their eyes!

Wu An remained calm as he quietly watched the Empress's back!

In truth, he had many ways to remove tattoos!

He did not even need the Empress to take off her clothes. He could simply brew some Chinese medicine and have her drink it!

However, those methods worked very slowly!

At the fastest, it would still take a month before any effect could be seen!

And Wu An obviously could not stay here for an entire month!

Acupuncture was the method that produced results the fastest!

Using silver needles to stimulate the Empress's blood and qi, he could then make use of her body's natural instincts to reject the tattoo!

It sounded simple enough!

But even veteran Chinese doctors who had practiced medicine for decades might not be able to accomplish it in practice!

After all, there were far too many acupoints on the human back!

One careless mistake could cost a life!

Only a miracle doctor like Wu An could make it seem so effortless!

Ten minutes later...

Twenty minutes later...

Thirty minutes later...

Finally, after roughly half an hour, the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon mark on the Empress's back vanished completely!

"It's really gone?"

The Empress rose to her feet, completely unconcerned that her perfect figure was exposed before Wu An as she turned her back to the mirror to look!

"Big Sister... it's really gone..."

Boa Marigold could hardly believe it!

Even in her dreams, she had never imagined that the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon mark, which had troubled them for so long, would be removed so easily!

"Miracle Doctor, may I know your name?"

After putting her clothes back on, the Empress asked gratefully!

If not for Wu An, she would likely have had to weave lies for the rest of her life to hide this secret!

"My name is Wu An!"

"I come from the East!"

Wu An pondered briefly before answering indifferently!

"Miracle Doctor Wu An!"

The Empress's lovely face was full of joy!

Then, as if remembering something!

She grabbed Wu An by the arm and led him out of the palace!

Outside the palace stood a densely packed crowd!

They were all residents of Amazon Lily!

At that moment, they were all waiting for the Empress to emerge!

"Everyone!!!"

The Empress held Wu An's hand as she looked down over the crowd!

"The Empress!"

"The Empress has come out!"

"Why is the Empress holding that man's hand?"

The crowd instantly erupted!

Everyone held their breath as they looked at the Empress!

"Now, I have an announcement to make!"

"That is, the curse upon me, Boa Hancock..."

"Has been cured..."

"By Miracle Doctor Wu An!!!"

The Empress's voice instantly spread throughout the entire crowd!
