One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

"Huh?! Wait! Katakuri-nii-san!"

Smoothie was stunned; it was the first time she had ever seen her usually composed brother show such urgency.

Without their leader, the atmosphere at the scene became even more bizarre and chaotic.

Becky was frantically wiping the cold sweat from her face with a handkerchief, her eyes darting around, already thinking about how to shift all the blame onto Baal, the one who threw the bomb.

On the other side of the ruins.

"Baal!!"

Two petite figures rushed out from the crowd and headed straight for the unfortunate man lying in the pit.

It's Mia and Carrot.

They were originally hiding in the shadows to support Goss, but when they saw Baal being blown away, they could no longer hide.

"Baal! Are you alright?!"

Carrot leaped onto the edge of the pit and anxiously shook Baal's body.

His once golden and smooth hair was now blackened by the explosion, and wisps of black smoke were still billowing from his mouth.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Baal was shaken awake. He groggily opened his eyes, exhaled a puff of black smoke, and shakily raised his hand:

"I...I saw Zaneah...he was waving to me..."

"Don't talk nonsense! You're still alive!"

Mia quickly checked Baal's injuries and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it looked terrible, the bomb that flew out exploded at a considerable distance from him.

In addition, the Mink Tribe's inherently resilient physique meant that this guy only suffered some superficial injuries.

"Very good……"

Mia wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but then her expression turned extremely serious.

She looked up and around.

Goss and Thornton disappeared in the explosion.

"Before they can react... we must escape immediately!"

"Carrot, help Baal up, let's go!"

Mia gave a low shout and was about to turn around and disappear into the alley.

Suddenly, a heavy, suffocating sense of oppression crashed down like a mountain, freezing the three of them in place.

The sunlight that had been shining on them disappeared.

Instead, an enormous shadow completely enveloped the three small, furry tribesmen.

"Want to leave? Where to?"

A cold voice came from above, carrying undisguised killing intent.

Mia raised her head, trembling.

What came into view was Charlotte Snag's gloomy face and the huge samurai sword behind her.

Snag looked down at the three trembling ants, his anger at being stopped by Becky and his panic at the destruction of the documents now turning into brutality towards the culprits before him.

"Destroy Mother's documents, attack the ministers of all nations..."

Snag closed in step by step, each step shattering the stone slabs on the ground with a sound like thunder:

"This is a capital offense of treason."

He raised the massive sword, powerful enough to slice all three of them in half at the waist, his eyes filled with cruelty:

"Then let's use your blood to calm Mom down."

……

Meanwhile, at the edge of the port in Qimi Town.

Thick smoke billows from the perimeter of the ruins.

"Hurry up! Stop dawdling! Ouch!"

Sweating profusely, Pokhomus used his tortoise shell to withstand the aftershocks of the explosion. Taking advantage of the chaos, he grabbed the still-dazed Thorn with one hand and dragged the still-eating Goss with the other, and desperately rushed towards a small boat docked at the pier.

In that split second, he used his familiarity with the terrain of the world and the chaos as cover to pull the two men out without anyone noticing.

"Once we're on the ship... no one will be able to find us..."

Pokémon's heart pounded; the shore of victory was within reach.

however.

Just as they were about to step onto the pier, Goss, who had been letting him hold him back, suddenly stopped.

The immense inertia nearly pulled Pokemus down.

"Hey! What are you doing?! Get out of here!"

Pokhomus was so anxious he was about to jump up and down.

Goss shook off Pokhomus's hand and turned to look at the still-smoking square:

"My crew is still there. I'm going back to get them."

"Are you crazy?!"

"That place is full of monsters! Katakuri, Snack, and Smoothie are all there! Don't worry, they won't find your other crew members; it's just the two of you on the platform."

"Stop rambling."

Goss ignored him and turned to walk back: "I'm not going."

"You idiot..."

Pokemus was about to reach out and pull him.

"There's no need to argue."

A deep, cold, and metallic voice suddenly rang out on the pier in front of the two of them.

hum-

The sea breeze suddenly stopped.

Pokhomus's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and the "gao" sound seemed to be snapped off by an invisible giant hand.

He mechanically turned his head and looked ahead.

All that could be seen was the end of the pier, the only exit leading to the sea.

A tall and imposing figure stood there quietly.

He crossed his arms, his dark red short hair fluttering slightly in the wind, and the scarf covering the lower half of his face exuded a despairing sense of mystery.

Charlotte Katakuri.

He wasn't pursuing anything important at all; he had simply foreseen this outcome and was waiting here in advance.

"K...K...Katakuri-sama..."

Pokhomus's legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground, his pink suit instantly soaked with cold sweat.

It’s over.

It's completely over.

Faced with Observation Haki that can foresee the future, any escape plan seems like a joke.

Katakuri's dark red eyes didn't even glance at Pekoms.

He just stared intently at the black-and-white furry boy who was trying to turn back to save people.

Katakuri's voice was devoid of emotion. He slowly took a step, and the Conqueror's Haki belonging to the strongest Sweet Commander was like an invisible sea, instantly causing the wooden planks of the entire dock to creak.

"What intrigues me is..."

Katakuri stopped in front of Goss, looking down at the much shorter man:

"It can devour nearly a thousand barrels of honey in a short period of time, and can even digest oak barrels..."

"What exactly are you?"

……

Cake Island.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm~ Is today's morning paper finally here?"

Charlotte Linlin took the newspaper delivered by the dessert seagull, glanced at the front page, and then burst into a palace-shaking laugh:

"That red-nosed Buggy actually got robbed by a rookie? The Honey Badger Pirates... and they even managed to escape from the Navy's encirclement! What a bunch of reckless brats!"

She casually flipped to the wanted posters section, and the next second, her gaze was glued to it.

The photo on the wanted poster showed a giant, humanoid crocodile, as big as a mountain, leaping out of the sea.

【WANTED】

[Sodon]

【DEAD OR ALIVE】

[Bounty: 8800 million Berries]

Gurgle.

The highly corrosive saliva dripped onto the carpet and instantly burned several black holes.

A childlike, greedy red light flashed in the old woman's eyes:

"Mmmm! It's a new race! I've never seen a crocodile fishman before!"
