One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

Chapter 23 Hungry Ghost Path - Hungry Ghost Possession

Before he could finish speaking...

boom!

Black Buck moved.

Its massive body unleashed an agility completely disproportionate to its size, charging towards Goss like an out-of-control chariot.

Goss tried to block, but found that he couldn't keep up with his opponent's pace at all.

Bang! A heavy over-the-shoulder throw!

Goss felt dizzy and his back slammed heavily to the ground, his internal organs shifting out of place.

Before he could even catch his breath, Black Buck's large hand had already grabbed his ankle and slammed him to the other side like a sledgehammer.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The situation reversed instantly.

The once-mighty Goss has now become a punching bag once again.

Black Buck used a variety of exquisite and violent joint locks and throws to slam him around until he was completely disoriented, and even getting up became a luxury.

boom!

He was blasted away time and time again, and slammed to the ground repeatedly. But he seemed to feel no pain, and as soon as he landed, he would nimbly roll and quickly get up.

Even with his face covered in blood, his eyes grew even more fanatical as he stared intently at Black Buck's movements.

"This punch originated from the waist..."

"This fall hit a blind spot in the joint..."

He frantically absorbed experience while being beaten, his body instinctively memorizing those combat techniques amidst the pain.

As time went on, Blackbuck became increasingly apprehensive.

This kid... he's a complete madman!

No matter how many times he was knocked down, the ferocity in his eyes not only did not diminish, but grew stronger and stronger, and he even began to try to imitate his moves to fight back!

"roar!!"

Finally, when Goss recklessly charged forward for the nth time, braving the force of the punches, trying to lock Black Buck's arm, the gorilla's primal instincts were fully unleashed.

In that instant, Black Buck seemed to be infected by this fierce fighting style, forgetting that this was special training and that his teammates were in front of him.

His eyes turned bloodshot, and he let out a ferocious roar. He had only used three-tenths of his strength, but at this moment he suddenly unleashed his full power!

"Lie down right now!!"

The enormous arm, wreathed in black wind, pressed Goss's left arm, which was used for blocking, tightly behind his back, rendering him unable to move.

"Alright, Goss, you need to rest..."

Snap!

A chilling crack echoed throughout the training ground.

Ignoring the pain in his joints, Goss twisted his body forcefully.

In an instant, his left forearm twisted at a terrifying 90-degree angle, the broken bone piercing through the flesh, and blood gushed out instantly.

He then strangely twisted his body to face Black Buck.

Black Buck stared at Goss with his mouth agape, seemingly unable to comprehend what had just happened.

Immediately afterwards, Goss threw a punch, sending Blackback flying backward.

"Damn it!" Black Buck snapped back to reality, cold sweat instantly soaking his entire body: "I went too far!!"

Roddy and Pedro's expressions changed drastically, and they rushed over.

With such a severe comminuted fracture, if Goss doesn't receive immediate treatment, his arm will be useless!

However, before they could even get close...

"Hungry……"

A hoarse, low growl echoed from the ruins.

Then, a scene appeared that sent chills down the spines of all the furry tribesmen.

sizzle...

It was as if some forbidden switch had been flipped. Goss's once strong and full muscles began to shrivel and atrophy at a visible rate.

The fat and muscles on his chest, thighs, and back seemed to be swallowed by an invisible black hole, rapidly transforming into pure life energy that surged wildly toward his severed left arm.

In just two seconds, Goss transformed from a massive beast into a skeletal, dried-up corpse.

In contrast, there was a horrifying wound on his left arm.

Under Blackbak's horrified gaze, the shattered bones seemed to come alive and automatically reassemble, while the torn muscle fibers intertwined and grew wildly.

Click.

The broken bone was put back in place.

The wound has healed.

Apart from the bloodstains on the skin, the arm was completely intact!

"What... what kind of ability is this?!"

Roddy was so frightened he almost broke off his own horns.

Instantaneous regeneration at the cost of one's own flesh and blood? That's unheard of!

But it's not over yet.

As his injuries healed, an intense hunger, strong enough to devour reason, instantly overwhelmed Goss's mind.

At this moment, he was emaciated, with sunken eyes, like a real hungry ghost descending.

"Meat...meat..."

Goss's bright green eyes instantly locked onto the bucket of specially supplied meat and bones beside him, which was originally intended as a source of energy during training.

He acted like a madman, not even bothering to use his hands to hold it, and buried his head directly into the bucket.

Rip! Crunch!

The sound of swallowing hard was chilling.

He chewed up and swallowed raw meat, bones, and even the rim of the wooden barrel that held the meat.

As a large amount of food was consumed, a miraculous scene unfolded once again.

Goss's body, which had been shriveled and skeletal, began to swell rapidly as if inflated.

The muscle definition returned to fullness, and the previously dry fur regained its luster.

In just over ten seconds, the bucket of meat, enough for the entire training team, was completely devoured.

belch.

Goss, now back to normal, let out a burp, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, and slowly stood up.

He moved his undamaged left arm.

The power of the Preta Path fruit still rippled through his body, as if checking for any other injuries.

The description of this ability naturally came to mind for Goss.

[Six Paths Fruit: Hungry Ghost Path - Hungry Ghost Possession]

The belly is a bottomless abyss, the stomach a furnace of red lotuses.

[It devours the flesh and blood of all things to mend its withered and decaying body.]

[Transforming food into essence, turning the dead into the living. Rejuvenating flesh and bones, bringing the dead back to life.]

However, desires are insatiable, and hunger burns in the heart; without external food to provide, one will surely devour oneself.

"A monster..."

The newlyweds present looked at Goss with not only awe but also an undisguised sense of horror.

That was beyond their comprehension of "resilience".

Meanwhile, Black Buck, standing opposite him, was staring blankly at his own hands. The fierce fighting spirit on his face had faded, replaced by a deep sense of self-doubt.

"What... happened to me just now?"

Black Buck frowned. As a veteran of the Knights of Fame, he was known for his strength and composure.

Even on a real battlefield, he had never lost control like he had just done.

It was clearly just a training match, and they clearly knew the opponent was just a newbie.

But the moment Goss's scarlet eyes were fixed on him, as if he wanted to bite off his throat at all costs, Blackbuck felt as if some kind of switch inside him had been forcibly flipped.

The feeling was like being targeted by a real natural enemy.

My mind went blank; I only felt that if I didn't use all my strength, I would be in danger of dying.

"This kid possesses a magical power that can ignite the primal instincts of others..."

Black Buck glanced at Goss with lingering fear, a layer of cold sweat seeping from the thick black fur on his back.
