Lida placed her hands on Kuro's body, her palms seemingly able to pull the air apart. She took a deep breath and pressed down hard.

"Absorb vital energy!"

Vital energy is lost even faster.

Lida's forehead was already sweating. To be honest, she had never encountered this situation before. Even when she exerted all her strength, Kuro felt as still as the deep sea, without making a sound.

Bang!

Lida punched Kuro hard in the chest, and Kuro, caught off guard, coughed a few times.

"What's wrong?"

Upon hearing the sound, the navy personnel immediately turned around.

"Big brother Navy, it seems like big brother Kuro is having some problems. Can you get the doctor to hurry up? Can you go and call the doctor again?"

Lida's big, bright eyes were filled with worry, and she was almost in tears.

"We'll go right away!"

If Sergeant Kuro has health problems, that would be terrible.

As soon as the navy left, Lida turned around, her white hair flying in the wind.

"Lida, what are you going to do?"

Kuro rubbed his chest; it really hurt a bit.

"Shut up, I'm getting serious now, Essence Gathering - Full Power!"

Lida had no intention of hiding anything anymore; she had to see just how much vitality this man possessed.

As her body grew, Lida transformed from a little white-haired girl into a stunningly beautiful eighteen-year-old. Her clothes, which used to fit her perfectly, now only covered her chest and hips, highlighting her amazing figure.

It seems like there's no such thing as a bad figure for women in the world of One Piece.

Bang!

Lida slammed her hands down on Kuro, her eyes beginning to glow white.

This time, Kuro realized that his energy was rapidly draining away, as if being sucked up by a giant whale.

“In that case, let’s see how long you can hold out?” Lida said through gritted teeth.

"Faster, faster, we're almost there," Kuro urged anxiously.

I only have about half of my energy left. If I go any faster, I can completely drain myself before the doctor arrives, and then they won't be able to find anything wrong with me.

Tap tap tap...

Rapid footsteps sounded outside.

Kuro cried out urgently, "Lida, are you sure you can handle this?!"

Thump.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lida transformed back into the size of a little girl and collapsed to the ground.

"I'm starving... I'm starving..."

She was exhausted instead.
