"Alright breathe in, Midori"

Inhale

"Breathe out"

Exhale

Law's stetoscope slides on to Midori's chest, listening to the the rythm of her heart, in every breath, expecting a normal pace from her heart.

Writing in his notes, Law's every movement filled with worry, as everything he has ever write in the paper are all out of the charts.

He glanced back at Midori who were fixing her shirt. Midori look away, refuse to look at her brother's eyes, as if she is guilty of something. He pull back his stetoscope away from his ears, and write something again on his notes.

"Midori...why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what, Law?" She answer, or rather questions.., putting an emphasis on Law.

"You had that illness for at least 5 years now..and you stayed silent about it.."

He look back at the paper, and all the symtomps are match to an illness called..

The Pufferfish Tumor (made up illness)

Its a spike-like tumor grow inside the patient's body, specifically, the muscles tissues. Everytime they flexes or enlarges the muscles at a certain percentages... itll grow little by little.

In Midori's cases.. her inhuman strength is like a double edged sword. Each time she uses outside 30% the tumors started to grow.. and if it reaches 70% it'll started to harm her outside skin, 80% her blood vessels started to break, resulting a major nosebleed, 90% her organs would be harmed and stabed resulting blood vomits,

By the time she uses 100%...

The tumors spikes would reached..her heart...causing

D e a t h..

Thats not just it, her nutritions are going to be sucked up by these tumors cells, making her having bad health, as if the tumor not bad enough..

"I can handle it, big brother..... It'll be fine... I'm going to be fine.."

"Yeah, say that when those tumor reaches your heart. If those tumors are not removed now, It'll skewered your organs from the inside, like a barberque! How did you even survived this long??"

"....I dont.,know...."

"That's it you are going to get a surgery this instant"

"But--"

Before she could protest any further she was dragged away by the arm, she struggles and manage to drag law instead. Sometimes having human strenght has it benefits.

It took half of the crews to drag her into the operating room, and the other half to strap the inhumanly strong girl to the operating table.

"Come on Guys! Im fine! I dont want any surgery! I'll be fine!!" The straps is strong enough to restrain her, giving Law the oportunity to drug her to sleep and proceed with the surgery.

--8 hours later--

"Thats the last of it captain!" As a crew announce it, Law sigh in relief, he finally took out all of the tumors, some of it already grazed her intenstines.

Her lungs is in a great condition, and so is her heart, they are untouched by the tumors.

Puting back her organs, and then sew the wound.

Aftr that he is going to make sure she uses below 30% of her muscles. He put a watch that calculate how much percentage she flex her muscles. That way she can see how much she is using and stop her when she is overboard.
