One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

"Whoa! She's not dead?! Is she made of iron?!"

Bucky was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he quickly manipulated his split body to scatter and escape.

"Go to hell!!"

Reiju raised her long right leg high like a battle axe, then brought it down with a fierce gust of wind.

Crack! The door frame shattered instantly from that kick.

But Bucky's body split apart again at the last second, his head tilting to the left and his torso shifting to the right, perfectly avoiding the attack.

"Fragmented Carnival!!"

Buggy retaliated with a strange cry, his floating hands producing several mini Buggy Bullets from who-knows-where, and hurled them at Reiju's vitals like a juggling act.

"A trivial skill!"

Instead of retreating, Reiju advanced. Although her hands were shackled and unusable, she nimbly twisted her waist, using the heavy alloy chain as a weapon to fiercely hurl the bomb in the air.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Sparks flew everywhere. The cramped room instantly transformed into a battleground.

"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!" Reiju's killing intent surged, and every kick was aimed straight at Buggy's head.

"Help! This woman is a monster!!" Bucky cried out as he threw bombs.

Mia, who had just gotten up, looked at the scene before her—her sister-in-law was fighting the infiltrators, the room was blown to pieces, and her brother was still unconscious. Holding the knife, she was completely bewildered.

"What... what on earth is going on?!"

Boom! Boom!

Two more explosions rang out in the cramped captain's cabin.

The flames engulfed the bookshelf, and the flying scraps of paper resembled butterflies on fire.

"Damn it! You crazy woman, stay away from me!!"

Bucky was now in a very sorry state.

His torso was kicked into the ceiling by Reiju, his legs kicking wildly under the bed, leaving only his head and two hands desperately throwing bombs in the air to block the attack.

Even though he was a user of the Chop-Chop Fruit, he was no match for the physical skills of the Vinsmoke family's cyborgs.

Reiju's every kick was powerful and heavy. Although her slashes were ineffective against Buggy, the blunt force of her kicks, strong enough to break steel bars, made Buggy feel as if his internal organs were about to shift.

"Shut up and die."

Reiju remained expressionless, completely ignoring Buggy's strange cries.

Seizing the opportunity, she made an incredible twist in mid-air, and the alloy chain connecting her hands, like a viper's tongue, suddenly wrapped around Bucky's head, which was floating in the air.

"We caught them."

"Huh?!" Bucky exclaimed in surprise.

"Get down here!!"

Reiju's slender arm unleashed terrifying power, pulling downwards with a fierce jerk.

Under that strange force, Bucky's head was uncontrollably pulled toward the ground.

"It's...it's all over!"

Seeing Reiju's bare foot, already fully charged, about to stomp down on his red nose, Buggy closed his eyes in despair.

However, just as that kick was about to flatten Bucky's nose—

"Enough!!"

A sharp shout accompanied by a sudden burst of fierce sword energy erupted.

Clang—!

A bright, sharp blade pierced between Reiju and Buggy.

That's Tashigi's famous sword, "Shigure".

Mia was now fully awake. She stood in front of the bed, her hair disheveled by the blast of air, but her eyes were unusually firm.

"This is the captain's cabin! My brother is still unconscious! Do you want to blow him up too?!"

Mia's roar startled the two of them, causing them to freeze in their tracks.

……

While chaos reigned in the captain's cabin, death had already quietly boarded the Narwhal's ship.

The waves lapped against the hull, masking the faint sound of a small black boat approaching the shore.

A rough, large hand skillfully swung the mooring rope onto the Narwhal's bollard and tied a tight knot.

Hey.

A soft thud as it landed.

Mr. 1 stood on the deck with a blank expression.

Even on the swaying sea, his figure remained as still as an iron tower.

He straightened his suit, his calm eyes sweeping across the empty deck before he heard explosions and arguing coming from the upper decks.

"Is it up there...?"

He strode forward, his steps steady and rhythmic, toward the source of the sound.

……

At the corner of the corridor leading to the captain's cabin.

"Hurry, hurry! Thornton! I heard it too! It sounded like an explosion!"

"I know, don't push."

Thornton and Carrot are rushing up from the lower level, ready to support Mia.

However, just as they rounded the corner, a tall, dark figure blocked their path.

"stop."

A deep, cold voice rang out.

Thornton and Carrot braked suddenly, nearly hitting the man.

The two men were stunned for a moment, looking at the bald, strangely dressed man with the character "壱" written on his chest.

"Who are you? Get out of the way!" Thornton yelled impatiently. "We're in a hurry!"

Mr. 1 ignored Thornton's rudeness and, like an emotionless machine, mechanically asked:

"I'm looking for someone. His name is Barr. Where is he?"

"Baal?"

Thornton scratched his head, subconsciously pointed behind him, and said in a simple-minded manner:

"Oh, I remember taking him to the lower cargo hold, over there, the warehouse at the very back, to the left after you go down the stairs."

"No, no!"

Carrot suddenly twitched her nose twice, flicked her long ears, and pointed in the completely opposite direction—the kitchen—and loudly retorted:

"Shorton, you're mistaken! I just smelled him! That guy seems to have sneaked into the kitchen to steal something to eat! He should be over there! In that direction!"

"Huh? What do you know, you little rabbit! I saw it with my own eyes!" Thornton stared wide-eyed. "It's definitely in the hold!"

"But your nose doesn't lie!" Carrot retorted, jumping up and down in protest. "It's in the kitchen! I can smell that awful perfume!"

"The lower deck!"

"kitchen!"

"The bottom deck, the bottom deck, the bottom deck!"

"Kitchen! Kitchen! Kitchen!"

Mr. 1 looked at the two arguing men in front of him, his rock-hard face remaining expressionless, without even a furrow of his brow.

For him, it doesn't matter where the prey is.

The result is what matters.

Zheng—

A sickening metallic scraping sound suddenly rang out.

Thornton and Carrot, who were arguing, suddenly felt their hair stand on end, and an instinctive sense of crisis made them shut up instantly.

To their horror, they saw that the man's ten fingers slowly transformed into incredibly sharp blades under the moonlight.

"No difference."

Mr. 1 spoke calmly, his tone as if discussing the weather, chillingly cold:

"Since we can't find it, let's kill all the living things on this ship."

He raised his arms, now sharpened into blades, their cold gleam reflecting on Thornton and Carrot's astonished faces:

"Once we kill them all, the mission will be complete."

"Annihilation Slash".

Before he finished speaking, Mr. 1 had already disappeared from the spot.

As a user of the Quick-Cut Fruit, every part of his body is a weapon.

Like a high-speed meat grinder, he instantly closed in on Thornton, crossed his arms, and turned his ten fingers into ten sharp razors, aiming straight for Thornton's vitals with a shrill sound that tore through the air!

Fast. Accurate. Ruthless.

This was an instinct he had honed through countless killings.

when--!!!

A deafening metallic clang rang out, sending sparks flying.

Mr. 1's usually calm and collected eyes narrowed slightly at that moment.

His ten sharp fingers were frozen in mid-air, bitten hard by Thorton's huge fangs!

Thornton's muscles bulged, and the veins on his neck stood out like writhing dragons.

He grinned widely and mumbled through the gaps in his mouth in a childish voice:

"Hey! Baldy! Your nails need a trim!!"

"Brute force...?"

A hint of surprise flashed through Mr. 1's mind.

He used 70% of his strength in that attack, enough to cut through the rock, but the crocodile managed to bite him.

Moreover, judging from the force of the recoil, this guy's strength is astonishing!

Before he could change his move, a crackling sound of electricity suddenly came from above his head.

"Electric Claw - Lunar Somersault!"

Carrot moved with lightning speed, using the rebound from the wall to instantly appear above Mr. 1's head.

Her specially made claw was wrapped with dazzling "static electricity," carrying a high-voltage current as she viciously clawed at Mr. 1's nape.

"Spiral Slash!"

Mr. 1 reacted extremely quickly, his body spinning violently, transforming into a high-speed rotating storm of blades, attempting to shred Carrot in mid-air.

Sizzle—Boom!

The electric current collided with the steel, exploding into a blinding burst of sparks.

Mr. 1 felt a numbing sensation spread throughout his body instantly. He was thrown back several meters by the enormous impact, his feet carving two deep furrows in the wooden floor.

He steadied himself, looking at his still slightly trembling arms and the burn marks from the electric current on his monk's robe. A hint of seriousness finally appeared on his usually indifferent face.

He slowly raised his head, looking at the two people flanking him from the left and right:

Thornton used his claws to pick at his teeth with one hand.

Carrot crouched on the railing, his body crackling with electricity, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.

You are the strongest fighting force on this ship, right?

Once you two are dealt with, the mission will be complete.

Mr.1 took a deep breath, and the blood in his body began to boil.

In the past two years, as Crocodile entered the New World, he also underwent a transformation through countless deadly battles.

Now, his slashes are far more powerful, faster, and stronger than they were two years ago in Alabasta when he could only rely on his Devil Fruit ability.

He had assumed the ship was full of lowly fish.

But that brief exchange brought him to his senses.

That crocodile, with its terrifying strength, would have broken my blade if I hadn't used Armament Haki to take it head-on.

That rabbit girl, with her bizarre martial arts skills wrapped in lightning and her astonishing speed, could easily have her throat severed if one wasn't careful.

Involuntarily, the image of the green-haired swordsman who had cut him down two years ago appeared in Mr. 1's mind.

Back then, Roronoa Zoro struggled on the brink of death for a long time before finally comprehending that level of skill in order to cut through steel.

But these two guys in front of me...

Different.

Mr. 1's arms were slowly covered with a layer of jet-black Armament Haki, and his eyes became more serious than ever before.

These two guys... each of them is stronger than the swordsman who defeated me in Alabasta back then!

Is this the setup for a New World pirate crew...? It seems that if I don't pull out my trump card, I might be the one who dies today.

"interesting."

Mr. 1 spoke for the first time during the battle; his voice was still cold, but now it carried a hint of recognition for the strong.

"It seems that treating you as small fry and eliminating you was my mistake."

Clang! Clang! Clang!

His entire body emitted a metallic clang once more, and Armament Haki transformed his entire body into a true black iron form.

"As a sign of respect, I will cut you into the finest mince."

Faced with the bald man whose entire body had turned black, Thornton didn't understand the change; he only remembered that the captain seemed to have a similar transformation.

He opened his gaping maw, wide enough to crush rocks, revealing two rows of sharp, jagged fangs like daggers, and bit down hard on Mr. 1's neck!

He used all his bite force in this attack! He was confident he could bite through the spine of even a small sea beast in one bite!

However, faced with this potentially fatal bite, Mr.1 did not retreat but advanced.

His expression was indifferent as he raised his left arm to shield Thornton's mouth. His jet-black arm exuded a chilling sense of indestructibility.

Armament Haki hardening.

Snap! Snap!

A chilling, tooth-grinding sound of bones shattering rang out.

Thornton's pupils dilated to their maximum size instantly, his eyes becoming bloodshot.

He felt as if he had bitten into a black diamond that had never melted in millennia, not a human arm!

With excruciating pain, his proud front fangs shattered the moment they touched the dark arm! His mouth was filled with blood, gushing out a mixture of blood and tooth fragments!

"Annihilation Slash - Black Steel".

Before Thorton could even scream in agony, Mr. 1's black arm, which was stuck in his mouth, had already transformed into the sharpest blade, and with a flick of his wrist, it swung horizontally.

Whoosh—Pfft!

A horrific, deep wound that revealed the bone instantly burst open on Thorton's face and rock-hard chest muscles, and blood gushed out like a fountain!

"Ughhhh! My teeth!!"

Thornton staggered backward, his mouth slick with blood, and his massive body slammed against the ship's side.

The excruciating pain nearly made him faint; the pain of his broken teeth was even more unbearable than the knife wound in his chest.

How is this possible?! Teeth capable of crushing boulders, how could they be defeated by a human arm?!

"Solton!!"

Carrot panicked when she saw her companion get seriously injured in an instant.

"Since physical attacks are useless, let's use electricity!!"

Sizzle sizzle—!

Using the Mink Tribe’s incredible jumping ability, Carrot instantly appeared in Mr. 1’s blind spot—his back.

Her hands, clad in claw gloves and wreathed in high-voltage static electricity, viciously clawed at Mr. 1's spine.

"Electric Claws!!"

boom!

That blow landed squarely.

Blue and white arcs of electricity instantly engulfed Mr.1's body, crackling and popping.

however--

Mr. 1, who was at the center of the electric light, merely tilted his head slightly and did not move his feet even an inch.

The electric current, powerful enough to paralyze and knock out an ordinary person instantly, struck his steel body covered in Armament Haki, and only stirred up a wisp of smoke that caused no pain or discomfort.

"This level of current..."

Mr. 1 turned his head, his cold eyes looking at Carrot, who was hanging on his back with a bewildered expression, his tone tinged with mockery:

"They're not even qualified to give me electrotherapy."

"What?!"

Carrot was shocked. That was her full-force static electricity release! And it couldn't even break through his defenses?!

"Get out of here."

Mr. 1's back suddenly sprouted countless sharp blades like a hedgehog's quills; that was his Devil Fruit ability—the Bubble Daisy Slash.

"Wow!"

With her animalistic instincts, Carrot managed to kick away a split second before the blade pierced her body, but even so, a deep gash was still cut into her thigh, instantly staining her white hair red.

The two stood together. One had blood all over his mouth, and the other had a leg injury, both panting heavily, their eyes filled with unprecedented horror.

It's too hard!

It's too sharp!

This bald man was like a black diamond that had been electrified.

His most prized teeth were shattered, and his most powerful electrical currents could not penetrate them.

Is this... the threshold of a new world?
