One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

Qimi Town Square.

Snag grinned maliciously as he swung his massive blade, wider than a door panel, unleashing a terrifying gust of wind with his dark Armament Haki, sweeping towards the three huddled together.

There's no escaping it.

Mia's pupils contracted sharply, and she stepped forward, standing firmly in front of Carrot and Baal.

She drew her twin swords from her waist with a backhand motion, twisted her wrist, and instantly formed a cross between the two blades, forcefully meeting the falling giant sword.

when--!!!

A burst of blinding sparks exploded in the center of the square.

Mia didn't even have a chance to change her move. She felt a numbness in her arms, and then it felt like she had been hit by a charging rhinoceros.

Boom!

She flew backward, crashing into the fountain sculpture behind her, and finally embedded herself deeply into the wall.

"Sister Mia!!"

Carrot screamed and tried to rush over, but before she could move, two spears crossed and clamped around her neck, forcibly pressing her back into the dust.

Beside him, Baal was pinned down by several Homiz soldiers like a pig being tied up, and could only whimper.

Snag carried the knife in one hand, his steps heavy.

With each step, the stone slabs on the ground cracked, revealing spiderweb-like patterns.

"Hmph... Is that woman the only one who can withstand a knife? The rest are just a bunch of useless wimps who only know how to cry."

"Unforgivable...Unforgivable!!"

On the other side of the ruins, Franpe was helped to her feet.

She covered her swollen cheek, her eyes, which usually squinted in a cute manner, were now bloodshot and blared with a sharp, piercing scream:

"My face... my perfect face!! How could you let me make such a fool of myself in front of my older brothers and sisters!!"

"Snag, do it! Cut off that rabbit's ears! Chop these bastards into mincemeat and feed them to the ants!!"

Snag frowned and raised the giant sword high in his hand.

The jet-black Armament Haki instantly enveloped the blade, and the air seemed to freeze under this killing intent.

The blade reflected the pale faces of Carrot and Baal.

Whoosh—thud!

A newsbird swooped overhead with a strange cry, and a thick, heavy object landed precisely in Mondor's arms.

Montord instinctively caught it, his fingers touching the red wax on the envelope.

Scalding hot.

Moreover, it exudes an aura that sends chills down your spine—the mark of your mother's soul.

Mondor trembled as he tore open the seal, his gaze sweeping over the few lines of frantic writing, his pupils instantly shrinking to the size of pinpoints.

"Stop!!! Snag!!"

His voice cracked from the shout. Mondor lunged at him like a madman, grabbing Snag's arm that was holding the knife without a second thought.

Snag flicked his wrist, and the blade stopped just centimeters from Garrot's nose.

A few rabbit furs were severed by the sword energy and fell to the ground.

"Are you looking for death?!"

Snag turned around in a rage, his face contorted with bulging veins, the murderous aura he had been interrupted making him look particularly ferocious.

"See for yourself!"

Mondor, covered in cold sweat, slapped the documents and bounty poster he had just put down onto Snag's face.

Snag ripped it off.

The first thing that catches the eye is not a bounty poster for a single person, but a snapshot taken on the battlefield.

The background of the photo is a giant ship, shrouded in smoke and almost broken in two.

On the shattered bow deck, the lightning-encased Goss and the blood-soaked Mia and others stood proudly.

Beneath their feet lay Buggy, the Shichibukai renowned for his prowess during the Marineford War, his eyes rolled back and foaming at the mouth as he lay unconscious amidst the ruins, surrounded by a litter of unresponsive elite crew members.

[Did you see that? They've only just set sail and they dare to challenge the Seven Warlords of the Sea... These kids are practically born to be pirates!]

[This audacity, coupled with the strength to outmaneuver the Seven Warlords of the Sea... his potential is limitless! He's exactly the kind of monster rookie that Whole Cake Island desperately needs for its expansion!]

Bring that Captain Goss back to the Land of the Boundless! Ask him if he'd like to join my ranks! If he agrees, he can have his pick of status, treasure, or even my daughter!

[And that rare crocodile man! Listen up! They all have to be alive! Anyone who ruins my future plans... I'll drain their lifespan!!]

"Glug."

Snag's Adam's apple bobbed violently.

Looking at the words "All must live," and then at Carrot trembling under the blade, a chill instantly ran up to the top of his head.

If that slash had landed...

Before he could even make amends, he was already being punished even more severely.

Tomorrow's headlines will be "Former Admiral Snag Dies After His Soul Was Extracted."

Bang!

Snag shoved his greatsword back into its sheath with a grumpy screech.

He lowered his head, and his originally murderous face twitched, revealing a smile that was more like a grimace:

"Tch... Consider you lucky to be alive, you brats."

He reached out his large hands, grabbed Carrot who was lying on the ground, and lifted her up like a chick, his tone sinister yet tinged with a hint of politeness:

"Since your mother wants you to be 'family,' then be grateful. Wipe away your tears! As honored guests from all over the world, don't embarrass your mother with this weak appearance!"

"What are you doing?! Snag, brother!!"

Franpe didn't even read the letter; she only felt betrayed.

She covered her head with her hands, her usually squinty eyes now wide open, letting out a piercing scream:

"What a joke! My 'perfect inauguration celebration' has been ruined!"

How am I supposed to face my fans?! I'm aiming for first place in the "Cutest Little Sister" poll!

She snatched the spear from the soldier beside her, trembling with rage, her eyes filled with vicious tears:

"This stain... must be washed away with blood! If you won't do it, I will!!"

Snapped! !

Mondor slapped him hard across the face.

Franpe spun around three times before plunging headfirst into the garbage heap.

Montort strode over with a dark expression, grabbed Flampe by the collar, and lifted her up.

Before she could even cry out, the newspaper and the wanted poster were shoved into her arms.

"Open your eyes wide and take a good look! Who are these guys?!"

Franpe was so dizzy from being slapped that she instinctively peeked through her fingers at the piece of paper pasted on her face.

The most eye-catching thing was the old woman's frantic red annotations, followed by several bounty posters with huge sums of money.

Franpena's pupils, which were bloodshot with anger, instantly contracted.

"How...how is this possible?"

Clang.

The spear in Franpe's hand fell to the ground.

Her once arrogant face turned deathly pale in an instant. Looking at Mia lying in the ruins not far away, the resentment in her eyes turned into disbelief.
