One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

Clang! Sizzle—!

Sparks flew.

Mia's "Izayoi" slipped off Alvida's shoulder again.

That strike, powerful enough to cut through rock, was as powerless against this woman's skin as it was against greased glass.

"It's no use, it's no use!"

Alvida strolled leisurely amidst the torrential rain of flashing blades, even having the leisure to admire the sharpness of this famous sword.

Her bare feet traced elegant arcs on the deck, each time precisely avoiding the sharpest attacks or using "zero friction" to completely deflect the strikes.

"Little sister, your swordsmanship may be flashy, but it's useless against my 'absolutely smooth' defense."

Alvida's smile grew increasingly cruel, and she raised the heavy spiked club high in her hand:

"If you can't hit a solid target, your knife is just scrap metal!"

"Slippery and overwhelming!!"

A terrifying wind pressure swept in.

Mia had to roll backward to avoid it, and the deck she was standing on was instantly smashed to pieces.

"Huff... huff..."

Mia knelt amidst the wood chips, her cold eyes fixed intently on Alvida.

Is it really "absolutely smooth"?

If there is no friction, how does she stand up? If there is no friction, how does she swing that iron bar that weighs hundreds of pounds?

Mia's gaze instantly locked onto Alvida's right hand, which was tightly gripping the handle of the spiked club.

There, the muscles were tense, and the knuckles were white.

In order to grab the weapon... only there, she had to maintain friction.

The hustle and bustle of the world seemed to fade away at that moment.

Mia slowly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the two famous swords seemed to sense their master's intentions. They stopped trembling and instead emitted a very low and faint hum.

The breathing of dual swords...

The breath of steel...

"Oh? Have you given up the fight?"

Alvida looked at Mia, who was standing still, sneered, and with a push of her foot, she transformed into a slippery cannonball and charged forward once again:

"Then die!!"

The spiked club swept in with an aura of destruction.

Just as the cold iron spike was about to touch Mia's nose.

Mia moved.

This time, instead of trying to cut Alvida's body, she swung her twin swords at the oncoming giant iron bar.

"Nito-ryu·Iai·Yazuki Hantsubaki!!"

Swah——

There was no loud clang of metal striking metal.

There was only one extremely faint, extremely crisp sound, like the sound of scissors cutting through cloth.

In that instant, the surrounding pirates seemed to see a withering red flower under the lingering shadow of the moon.

The two passed each other.

Alvida charged several meters forward in her bat-swinging stance, a victorious grin still on her face: "Haha! Smash her flat... Huh?"

She suddenly felt a lightness in her right hand.

Immediately afterwards, she heard a loud thud as something heavy fell to the ground.

Alvida lowered her head and looked at the ground.

There lay half of a spiked club, its cuts as smooth as a mirror.

And... a severed hand holding a stick handle, with red nail polish on.

"Huh? Whose hand is this? It looks so familiar..."

Alvida raised her right arm somewhat blankly.

There was nothing there, except for a warm red liquid gushing out like a fountain, instantly staining her supposedly pristine white dress that was "unblemished even by dust."

The excruciating pain only reached the brain at this moment.

"Blood……?"

Alvida's pupils dilated to their maximum size in an instant, filled with a fear that was even more devastating than the pain itself.

"Blood?! My blood?! Dirty blood has stained my skin?!"

For this woman, who had never been injured since eating the fruit and was extremely narcissistic, the impact of this scene was ten thousand times greater than losing a hand.

"No...don't..."

She rolled her eyes.

puff.

The female pirate, with a bounty of millions, was so frightened by the blood she spat out that she fainted and collapsed straight into a pool of blood.

"call……"

Mia slowly sheathed her sword, her body swaying slightly, but she still managed to support herself with the scabbard.

The real life-or-death battle, though it only lasted a few breaths, still left her somewhat dazed because it was the first time her highly concentrated mental energy had severed her physical senses.

The entire room fell silent.

The remaining pirates who had been watching the show were terrified when they saw Alvida fall and the severed spiked club.

"Ah, Alvida, the boss, has been killed!!"

"This woman is a monster! She can even cut through steel?!"

The fear lasted only a moment, before being swallowed up by an even more frenzied bloodlust.

Seeing Mia's slightly trembling shoulders and her figure that she could barely stand without leaning on her sword, the pirates' eyes gleamed with a vile and vicious light.

"Don't be afraid! She's at her last gasp!!"

"While she's exhausted! Everyone, attack together! Kill her and avenge our boss!!"

Dozens of menacing pirates, brandishing knives and guns, like a pack of hyenas that had smelled blood, with cruel grins on their lips, slowly closed in on the weakened Mia.

"Huff... huff..."

Mia felt as if her lungs were on fire, and the twin swords in her hands had never felt so heavy.

But she gritted her teeth and forced herself to raise the blade, her eyes resolute.

Sudden.

Click.

A crisp sound of a lock being opened stood out clearly in the noisy battlefield.

Immediately following was a dense, chilling sound of electricity that sent shivers down the spines of all pirates.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—

The pirates who were about to pounce on Mia froze, turning their heads in horror.

The huge iron cage door had been opened.

In the shadows, dozens of pairs of eyes glowing red lit up.

"Finally... out..."

Scarlett stood at the front, clutching the bunch of brass keys tightly in her hand.

Her wounds were still bleeding, but what burned in her fox-like eyes was a raging fire that had been suppressed for days.

Behind her were furry warriors, their bodies wreathed in static electricity and their teeth bared.

"How dare you bully our benefactor..."

"How dare they trample on Zou's dignity..."

Scarlet Civet suddenly raised her sharp claws, and dazzling sparks flew from her fingertips:

"Let them see the true power of the Mink Tribe!!"

"Ooooooooooo!!!"

"Electric Shock: Vengeance Storm!!"

boom!!

Dozens of intertwined bolts of lightning instantly engulfed the stunned remnants of the pirate crew.

This time, the offense and defense were reversed!

……

On the bridge of a naval warship.

Looking at the exploding lightning in the distance, and the Mink warriors surging out of the iron cage like a tide and beginning their frenzied counterattack, Vergo's eyes behind his sunglasses narrowed slightly.

The situation seems to be getting out of control.

The anticipated horrific scene of mutual destruction did not materialize; instead, Pakistan's side suffered a crushing defeat.

That Mink brat not only defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but also released all the prisoners.

Can't wait any longer.

If that red-nosed guy escapes in the chaos and doesn't get the treasure pointer, it will disrupt Dover's plans.

Vergo picked up his napkin again and elegantly wiped his mouth—the hamburger patty was still stubbornly stuck to his face, but he seemed to have some strange obsession with it, completely ignoring it.

He slowly straightened up, and the authoritative aura of a naval base commander instantly emanated from him:

"Smoker, pass on the order."

Vergo's voice was cold and decisive, carrying an undeniable killing intent:

"A serious riot has broken out within the pirate ranks. To prevent the situation from escalating and affecting civilians... G5 Branch, all personnel mobilized!"
