One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

Chapter 49 Thunderous Overlord

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!

The purplish-black lightning bolts, like divine punishment, pierced through the deck without any frills.

In that instant, a massive shockwave, mixed with violent electric current, spread wildly outwards from the point of impact.

The rosewood auction stage, piled high with treasures, was instantly reduced to a shower of charred wood chips under this blow.

The pirates who were shouting "skin and tendons" and celebrating with their wine glasses around them didn't even have time to scream before they were swept away like garbage by the high-pressure airflow.

One by one, they were steaming and fell into the dark, cold sea like dumplings.

"Cough cough... What the hell is this...?"

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the surviving pirates peeked out from behind their bunkers in terror, their teeth chattering.

In the center of the billowing smoke, a charred crater was a shocking sight, with traces of molten, dark red burning still remaining at the edges.

"bite."

A crisp, metallic sound rang out.

Goss was casually tossing a bunch of heavy brass keys in his hand.

In the previous attack, Goss's target was the key on Bucky's waist.

Goss knelt down on one knee and gently opened the cage for the already dazed Scarlet Fox, unlocking the remaining shackles.

His body was still wreathed in lingering, crackling arcs of electricity.

"Mr. Goss..."

Scarlet Fox trembled all over, and tears welled up in her dull fox eyes.

She reached out in disbelief and touched Goss's arm. Feeling its real warmth, she finally broke down in tears, crying, "Run...it's a trap...there are marines here..."

"Sorry I'm late."

Goss's voice was soft, yet it carried a reassuring power.

He grabbed Bucky's tattered red robe and covered Scarlett's wounded and ragged body.

"clatter."

A lithe figure landed beside her.

"Mia, take good care of her."

"Um."

Mia looked around warily, quickly helped Scarlet Lily up, and retreated to the edge of the boat.

Goss slowly stood up and turned his head.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

"Sizzle!"

Countless purplish-black arcs of electricity exploded wildly around him.

They were like hungry pythons, greedily licking the surrounding air, each leap accompanied by a pungent smell.

It was a foul, fishy smell originating from the deep sea.

The pirates around them, wielding sharp blades, instinctively took a step back, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

In the terrified, contracting pupils of these pirates, the scene before them underwent a horrifying distortion.

They no longer seemed to be standing on a swaying deck, but were instantly dragged into the dark, cold, pitch-black ocean thousands of meters deep.

In that suffocating darkness of the abyss, Goss's eyes, glowing red, did not resemble human eyes at all.

That was clearly an ancient sea monster that had been sleeping on the seabed for thousands of years, just opening its two huge, island-like vertical pupils.

"You...you bastard!!"

A furious scream shattered the silence.

In mid-air, Bucky's iconic red-nosed head was hanging on the mainmast, while the rest of his body was scattered in various places.

Clearly, at the critical moment when the lightning struck, he activated the power of the "Chop-Chop Fruit" to split his body and evade the attack.

"How dare you ruin my magnificent stage! You've disrupted my auction!!"

Bucky's head roared with rage, his face, smeared with paint, contorted into a grotesque grimace like a crushed tomato: "Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable! You idiots! What are you waiting for?! Get him! Chop him into mincemeat!!"

With the captain's orders, the pirates finally reacted.

Most of the people here are desperate criminals who escaped from Impel Down. After a brief period of fear, their ferocity is fully unleashed.

"You reckless brat! Die!"

"Two people dare to storm a Shichibukai's ship?!"

Countless scimitars and muskets, accompanied by shouts of battle, surged towards Goss at the bottom of the pit like a black tide.

"Kill them!!"

"Chop him into mincemeat!!"

The shouts of battle crashed down from all directions like a raging torrent.

The vibrations caused by hundreds of pairs of leather boots pounding on the deck made the entire ship shake violently, as if it might disintegrate at any moment in the frenzy.

Faced with the overwhelming crowd, Goss simply stood quietly in place, his eyes slightly lowered.

Noisy.

The nauseating noise felt like needles piercing his eardrums, making his blood boil—a sensation he had never experienced in the peaceful and friendly Zou.

Boom, boom, boom.

The raging heart in his chest began to beat wildly at an unprecedented frequency.

But this time, along with the flowing blood came not only a violent electric current, but also a deeper and more domineering invisible force.

Two forces collided and intertwined violently in the blood.

The purplish-black lightning attempted to tear the other side apart.

An invisible aura of dominance attempted to suppress the other party.

Finally, at the moment when the noise reached its peak.

A certain limitation within the body was broken.

Goss suddenly opened his eyes.

The originally blood-red pupils were now etched with purplish-black patterns.

"Don't you dare get in my way, you little fry!!!"

boom!!!

At this moment, the will known as "Conqueror's Haki" and the natural power known as "Thunder" completely merged.

Centered on Goss, a visible hemispherical shockwave, interspersed with countless tiny arcs of electricity, suddenly erupted in a fan-shaped area in front!

It was no longer an invisible spiritual pressure, but a tangible thunderstorm.

The air was instantly expelled, and the splinters on the deck exploded.

The pirates who were at the very front of the ship didn't even get close to Goss's clothes before feeling as if their brains had been hit hard by an electrified hammer.

Sizzle—plop!

There was no scream; consciousness vanished instantly, and the body was paralyzed by the high-voltage current.

The crowd that had surged forward like a tide suddenly fell down in neat rows, like harvested wheat, without a sound.

Everyone was rolling their eyes, their bodies were emitting black smoke, and even the knives in their hands were shaken and broken in two.

In just a moment, the world became quiet.

The half-deck that was just moments ago bustling with activity is now deathly silent, with only convulsing bodies scattered on the floor and the chilling smell of burning flesh in the air.

Goss stepped over the fallen bodies, his gaze piercing through the chaotic battlefield, locking onto the clown in mid-air who was reassembling his body.

"Now, no one's bothering us, Red Nose."

……

Meanwhile, on a warship not far away.

The sea breeze, carrying a strong smell of gunpowder, blew across the deck.

"Is that... Zou's fighting force?"

Smoker, with two cigars dangling from his lips, frowned and stared intently at the battlefield flashing with lightning.

"Is Zou really planning to declare war on the World Government?"
