One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

sizzle-

The loud scraping sound was enough to make your teeth ache. Becky's feet had plowed two deep furrows in the ground, and the castle's arms were already deformed from the weight of Snag.

"Snag!"

Montor finally couldn't stand it any longer. He closed his pocket watch and shouted at Snag:

"This is not the time for you to vent your personal anger! Look at the time! Do you want Mom to get angry over something so trivial?!"

Upon hearing the word "Mom," Snag's ferocious aura instantly froze.

He gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at Becky, and finally sheathed his greatsword, letting out a cold snort as he stepped aside.

"Consider yourself lucky, you're from outside the family."

Becky instantly felt the pressure on her body ease.

But he dared not relax, because the "time bomb" in his stomach was still there!

"Phew... Now that everyone's here, let's get started."

Mondor wiped his sweat, quickly straightened the roll of parchment with gold trim, cleared his throat, and strode to the center of the platform.

Although the scene had been left in a mess by the food, and half of the honey mountain was bare, the process still had to go on.

"Charlotte Flampe!"

"Mondor shouted."

"In~"

Franpe immediately put on that obedient expression and floated in front of Montor. Although she was still disgusted by the scene just now, she forced a smile because she was about to become a formal minister.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on the document in Mondor's hand.

In the shadows on the side of the platform, a huge black figure was creeping silently along the ground in a grotesque posture completely out of proportion to its size.

It's Thornton.

This giant crocodile in the sea had curled itself into a ball, using the surrounding ruins as cover, and like a thief, it crept up behind Goss little by little.

He extended a trembling finger and gently poked Goss's buttocks.

Then, from that gaping maw, large enough to crush stone, came a soft, trembling sound, even fainter than that of a newborn kitten:

"captain……"

Thornton was so frightened that tears were about to fall, but he dared not speak loudly, and could only manage to whisper:

"Stop eating... Sister Mia sent me to drag you away..."

"Shh... let's sneak away quietly... okay? No one will notice..."

While he pleaded with him in that incongruously childish voice, he stretched out his hands as if holding something fragile, trying to steal Goss out of the pile of honey barrels without alerting anyone.

"belch--"

"Shhh!!!"

Thornton covered his face and collapsed to the ground in despair.

Several terrifying gazes swept over in an instant.

"Um?"

Montor frowned: "There are accomplices?"

……

Inside Becky's body, in the Fortified Hall.

The impact of Snag's slash was so great that although Becky blocked it, the internal shock caused Baal to fall flat on his face.

The Pakistani bomb in his hand was accidentally ignited.

laugh--

"..."

Baal lay on the ground, staring at the sparking fuse, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"Um... is it going to explode?"

outside world.

Becky, who was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly turned from pale to ashen, and then to a liver color.

A destructive warning from the depths of my soul shot straight to the top of my head!

It's going to explode!! It's right inside my stomach!!

A massive castle gate on Becky's chest burst open with a roar!

"Fortified City - Emergency Removal!!"

Whoosh-!

A dark shadow was ejected from Becky's stomach, accompanied by a scream.

That was Baal clutching his head, and in his arms, a huge, red, nose-shaped cannonball with its fuse burned to the end.

The shell traced an unflattering parabola and landed squarely between Mondor and Franpe.

Montor still holding the document, staring blankly at the red ball that had rolled to his feet and was painted with a funny clown face.

"What...is this thing?"

next second.

Rumble rumble rumble—!!!

A miniature mushroom cloud rose up in the center of the square in Qimi Town!

This is no ordinary shell; it is a "specially made Pakistani shell" developed by Pakistan, powerful enough to flatten half a street!

A violent shockwave instantly swept across the entire arena.

Montor and Franpe were both thrown away by the shockwave.

Stone fragments flew everywhere, and dust filled the sky.

When the smoke clears.

Everyone got up, looking disheveled.

Fortunately, although everyone was in a sorry state, no one was seriously injured.

"Cough cough cough! Damn Becky! What the hell are you doing?!"

Mondor angrily brushed the dust off his clothes and crawled out of the rubble: "Are you trying to murder your colleague?!"

"The paperwork! My appointment document!"

Franpe screamed and scrambled to her feet. She didn't care about the explosion; all she cared about was the piece of paper that could make her a minister.

however.

When everyone's eyes fell on Mondor's hand.

The air freezes.

Montor still had something clutched in his hand.

But all that remained was a charred, bare corner of the parchment scroll rod.

As for that sacred document bearing the four large characters "Honey Minister" and stamped with the auntie's seal...

It had already been reduced to black ashes, along with the red-nosed bomb, at the epicenter of the explosion.

"..."

Mondor's hands began to tremble violently.

Franpe rolled her eyes and almost fainted.

It’s over.

The document my mother signed... was blown up.

The black ash, like an ominous black snow, fell heavily on everyone in the square.

Mondor remained in that outstretched gesture, as if his soul had been ripped away.

He knew his mother's temper all too well.

If she knew that her sacred appointment document, personally signed by her, was blown to smithereens by a bomb during the celebration...

"Ah...ah..."

A hissing sound, like a bellows leaking air, came from Mondor's throat, and his teeth chattered violently.

"We're...we're doomed...we're all going to have our lifespans drained..."

Just as this suffocating fear was spreading.

Katakuri, who had been standing silently on the edge, suddenly frowned.

hum-

A flash of red light appeared briefly in his deep eyes.

That was a sign that Observation Haki could foresee the future.

No one knows what he saw.

"Katakuri, my older brother?"

Smoothie keenly sensed something was amiss and was about to ask a question.

Swish!

Only a faint afterimage of the glutinous rice strands remained in the air.

Katakuri completely ignored the mess at the scene, and didn't even glance at Flampe lying on the ground.

His figure instantly transformed into a streak of light, shooting off towards the port of Seven Honey Town at an incredible speed.

"This is your responsibility."

Only his cold and hurried words remained in the wind:

"I have more important things to confirm."

In the blink of an eye, the strongest general disappeared from everyone's sight.
