One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

Modi, who had been rambling on and on, finally broke down completely due to the double pain of the broken horn and the burn arm.

He could only curl up on the ground like a boiled shrimp, screaming in agony, unable to utter another word.

"Quick! Stretcher!!" The medical team, which had been waiting, rushed forward.

Amidst the noise and chaos, the unconscious Lili was carefully carried away in a soft blanket.

Modi, his body charred black, was roughly stuffed into another stretcher and quickly disappeared into the distance with the sound of hurried footsteps.

As the medical team left, the burnt smell on the ring dissipated somewhat.

"Goss".

As soon as the guards dispersed, Bal and Mia came over.

Balfeed squeezed through the surrounding crowd, his face bearing an unwavering, amiable smile.

He went to greet him quite naturally, and casually took out a clean towel that he had prepared in advance from his bag and handed it to Goss.

As he handed over the towel, his gaze swept quickly over the completely shattered stone slab at Goss's feet, and then glanced at the broken black ram's horn not far away.

That's incredible... It's only been three days since I first heard about Goss.

Barr glanced at the charred marks left on the ground.

Although Moody is a bastard, he's also a formidable character with a bounty of 3000 million Berries.

Goss's fight with him just now was almost an instant kill.

This overwhelming power and terrifying growth rate, combined with the Mink Tribe's static electricity ability...

If he were on the high seas, Goss could probably have a bounty of hundreds of millions.

Baal's fingers unconsciously traced a purple winged skull badge tucked into his sleeve, his heart pounding twice.

He remembered the important figure who had funded his overseas business ventures—Shaq Crocodile.

That great man once said... The coming era is one that needs people, and I should keep an eye out for any potential "monsters" on the high seas.

Bar looked at Goss, his eyes gradually becoming fanatical, as if he were looking at a chest of gold.

If I could introduce Goss to that boss... with the potential Goss has shown so far, he would definitely be favored!

At that time, as the discoverer, my status in that person's eyes will rise accordingly, and it wouldn't be a problem for him to fund my monopoly of the entire express delivery industry!

Thinking of this, Barr's smile became much more genuine.

He stepped forward and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Well done, Goss. It seems we might need to adjust our destination a bit this time."

"I know a very powerful boss on the high seas. He really likes strong people like you with potential... I think you two would get along very well."

Goss raised an eyebrow, about to ask who it was, when a petite figure bumped right into his arms.

"elder brother!"

Mia didn't care about big bosses or power struggles at all.

Her big, watery eyes were filled with worry.

She gripped Goss's arm tightly, examining it from head to toe, as if afraid there might be some wound hidden beneath his black and white fur: "Are you hurt? There was such a loud thunder just now... and Modi looked like that..."

"It's nothing, just a little dusty."

A rare gentleness appeared on Goss's face as he reached out and ruffled Mia's hair with his paw: "I told you, I would win."

Mia finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her brother was really alright.

But the next second, she remembered Lili Rong who had just been carried away, and looked up at her brother, who was strong enough to shield her from the wind and rain, and her eyes gradually became firm.

"elder brother."

Mia suddenly gripped Goss's clothes tightly, looked up, and her usually soft and cute face was now filled with an unprecedented seriousness:

"I want to become stronger too."

"Hmm?" Goss paused.

"I don't want to be the one being protected, passively waiting for rescue when danger comes... I don't want to be able to hide behind my brother on the ship in the future."

Mia bit her lip, her eyes flashing with ambition:

"Since we're going to such a dangerous sea, I want to become a crew member worthy of you!"

"Brother, please train me too! Even if it's as hard as you are, I will never complain!"

Goss's large claws stopped in mid-air, and his previously nonchalant expression vanished completely at that moment.

He didn't answer immediately, but looked at Mia intently, as if he were getting to know his sister for the first time.

She's right.

Goss nodded silently to himself.

The high seas aren't just home to minor characters like Modi who have a bit of strength.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Admirals, and the Four Emperors who reign supreme in the New World...

That vast ocean is teeming with monsters that can sink islands with the flick of a finger.

Taking an ordinary person who has no ability to protect herself out to sea is not protecting her, it's sending her to her death.

It would be better to let her stay obediently on the back of Zou, this giant elephant, for the rest of her life.

Goss took a deep breath, his eyes becoming more serious than ever before.

"Since you've decided to take this step and come with me to brave that man-eating sea..."

"If you don't risk your life, you absolutely won't survive."

Mia looked at Goss with unwavering determination: "I've decided to stand with you, brother, and I'll fight for it, even if it means death!"

"Great! That's very well said!!"

Suddenly, a furious roar, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, shattered the tense atmosphere between the brother and sister.

Sicilian strode out from the side, his hair seemingly standing on end with excitement.

He wasn't embarrassed by interrupting the conversation; instead, he stared intently at Mia, his face full of undisguised admiration.

"Young lady! Having this kind of courage to face death is the true ticket to step into that vast ocean!"

Cecilian patted his chest forcefully and exclaimed, "This determination to give it your all is truly moving! It's wonderful!"

"This unwavering determination to follow my brother even at the cost of my life...this selfless and all-consuming love!!"

"I, Sicilian, have received this completely!!"

He whirled around, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Goss:

"Goss! I want to apologize to you."

Under the astonished gazes of the group, the proud lion actually took a half step back and solemnly nodded to Goss.

"I misjudged you! I only saw your rudeness and violence before..."

"But to be able to see that warrior-like look in the eyes of such a frail young girl, to be able to inspire people to entrust their lives to her and follow her to the death..."

"This proves that you... possess the true capacity to carry the dreams of others!"

Having said that, Cecilian didn't give Goss a chance to speak, waving his hand and pointing directly at Mia, his gaze intense:

"Young lady! Since you're so determined to give it your all, I can't just stand by and do nothing!"

"Determination alone is not enough to survive at sea; you also need the strength to match that determination!"

Sicilian crossed his arms, his tone becoming very sincere: "Give this little girl to me, and I will teach her the skills to protect herself on that sea during this time."
