One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

As the battle ended, Goss's agitated emotions, stirred up by the provocation, gradually subsided.

He shook his hand and stared intently at Black Buck in the center of the arena.

"Zou has produced a truly remarkable person."

Black Buck strode over, casually dragging several heavy, specially made black weighted bags from under the weapon rack and tossing them at Goss's feet with a thud.

"Since we're going to train strength, let's put these on first. They're made with high-density deep-sea lead, and a full set weighs a thousand kilograms."

Black Buck grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "Except for bathing and sleeping, you are not allowed to take it off while eating, walking, or fighting."

Let your body get used to this pressure until it becomes part of your body.

Without saying a word, Goss reached for the seemingly inconspicuous black cloth bag at his feet.

Seeing how easily Black Buck threw it, he thought he wasn't much worse.

But the moment his fingertips actually gripped the strap and he tried to lift it up—

"Um?!"

Goss's arm suddenly sank, and he almost fell to the ground!

The weight is completely disproportionate to its volume. It's only slightly thicker than ordinary clothing.

"hiss."

Goss took a deep breath, instantly tensing his arm muscles to their limit, making a sickeningly loud gurgling sound.

"call……"

He gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his neck, and with sheer brute force, he tightly bound the heavy sacks, which seemed capable of crushing an elephant, to his limbs.

Click.

With the last buckle fastened.

"Very good, now... attack!"

Black Buck's roar exploded in my ears.

A glint flashed in Goss's eyes, and his body instinctively wanted to unleash "Wolf Rush".

The brain commands "sprint," but the body's response is—

Not moving.

That momentary sense of disorientation almost made Goss trip over himself.

Now, let alone sprinting, even a simple movement like lifting his leg requires him to mobilize all the muscles in his body to fight against the terrifying load.

"Drink... Ha..."

Goss's forehead veins throbbed, and he was breathing heavily, like a bellows.

He was like a drowning person stuck in a swamp, every muscle struggling.

Finally, he managed to lift his right leg and take half a step forward.

Thump! The ground trembled.

Before Goss could even regain his balance, he took that step.

"Too slow."

Black Buck was already standing in front of him without him even noticing.

The senior gorilla even put one hand behind his back, his face full of mockery, and with only his little finger extended, he gently poked Goss's sweat-drenched forehead.

"fall."

Whoosh—Boom!

There is no suspense.

Goss was like an unbalanced iron tower, falling straight backward under the push of this little finger.

Its heavy body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust as tall as a person, and even creating a large crater in the shape of a person in the hard rock!

"What's wrong? Can't you get up already?"

Black Buck looked down at Goss in the pit and picked his nose: "It's just walking."

If you can't even walk with this thing on your back, you want to fight me? Go back and drink honey.

"Shut up……"

A hoarse growl came from the bottom of the pit.

Gos gritted his teeth and used his core strength to withstand the weight of one thousand kilograms, like a rusty robot, slowly and inch by inch "pulling" himself out of the pit.

Come again!

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Goss is like a clumsy beginner trying to attack the agile Blackback.

Every time he raised his hand, it was as slow as a snail; every step he took was accompanied by the sound of the ground cracking.

With just a gentle push or a sidestep, Blackback would send Goss off balance due to the immense inertia, causing him to fall flat on his face.

However, with the fiftieth fall, he got up for the fifty-first time.

Roddy, the buffalo watching from the sidelines, who had been munching on grass, suddenly stopped. He narrowed his bull eyes, staring incredulously at Goss's leg muscles:

"Feed...Pedro...did you notice?"

"This kid's actions have changed."

Yes, things have changed.

Goss, who used to have to shatter the ground with every step and pause for half a second to gather his strength, is now hearing a change in the sound of his feet.

The dull "thump, thump" turned into a rapid "bang, bang".

The Asura Path's terrifying ability to grow and adapt was on full display at this moment.

His muscle fibers are rapidly memorizing and adapting to this high-load environment amidst intense tearing and restructuring.

The 100th fall. Goss's time to flip and jump was halved.

The 200th charge. Blackbuck lowered the hand that had been behind his back.

"Is this... the limit?"

Goss's eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was soaked in sweat, which steamed up white mist, making him look like an overheated steam locomotive.

But he didn't feel tired.

On the contrary, with each muscle contraction, he could feel his heavy body becoming lighter.

"Faster...faster!!"

Swish!

Suddenly, a dark shadow tore through the air.

Blackback, who was about to push Goss down as before, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Goss, who was supposed to be moving slowly, vanished in an instant!

No, he didn't disappear. It was because he was moving too fast, and the inertia from his weight turned him into a heavy artillery shell!

"What?!"

Black Buck was shocked and instinctively raised his arms to block.

boom!!!

With a loud bang, Black Buck's mountain-like body was sent flying backward half a meter by the impact, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground!

The entire room fell silent.

Those newcomers who had been mocking Goss for overestimating himself were now gaping, their jaws practically hitting their toes, their eyes bulging like saucers.

"It's a lie, right?!"

"That's a load of one thousand kilograms!"

"Wearing that thing... and you still managed to knock Black Buck back?!"

"This kid..." Roddy dropped the grass from his mouth. He looked at the silver-haired figure, who was emitting white smoke and had a fierce, ghostly gaze, and felt a chill run down his spine.

"How much time has passed? Two hours?"

"Is he a monster?! He adapted so quickly?!"

Faced with this blow that was enough to shake him, the playful expression on Black Buck's face receded like the tide.

He silently patted the spot on his chest where he had been hit, his previously casual posture instantly becoming serious.

Instead, he bent his legs slightly and lowered his center of gravity, assuming a very standard starting stance for Mink fighting.

The man who was the leader of the knight-errant group became as solemn as iron, and remained silent.

"That stance..." Before the newcomers watching could react, Buffalo Roddy gasped, "Black Buck's serious?! He's actually going to take the initiative against a newcomer carrying weights?"
