One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

Meanwhile, in the Klaus commercial street.

"Sister Scarlet Fox, this... is for you!"

Mia took out a slightly worn small cloth bag from her bosom and carefully opened it.

Inside lay a shimmering silver necklace. Although the craftsmanship wasn't top-notch, and the style was an older design from last year.

But for a little girl who earns money by running errands and who usually can't even afford to eat meat buns, this was her savings of half a year.

Scarlet Fox was taken aback.

She looked at the silver necklace, then at Mia's expectant eyes, and felt a sudden pang of sadness.

"You silly girl..."

Fei Li Si sighed, her tone tinged with heartache and helplessness.

"Do you think it's easy for you to save money? Why are you spending it recklessly?"

"Sister Scarlet Fox, please!"

Mia clutched at Scarlett's sleeve, her eyes red-rimmed, her voice trembling with tears:

"I know that although you and Brother Lund have separated, you can still talk to each other."

"Could...could you ask him to help get Goss into the Knights' Guild's logistics department?"

Looking at Mia's appearance, Fei Li Si felt a mix of emotions.

To be honest, she really disliked Goss.

In her eyes, the man was thin and weak, and had a strange personality. He not only couldn't protect Mia, but he was also like a bloodsucker, clinging to Mia and sucking her blood.

But seeing Mia's tearful eyes, Faith finally softened.

It's true that she admires strength and yearns for a powerful partner, but her feelings for her friends are genuine.

Fei Lisi stretched out her finger and poked Mia's forehead with a look of exasperation.

Is it worth it?

"It's worth it!" Mia nodded firmly.

"Alright, alright."

Faith shook her head helplessly. Although it was embarrassing to ask her ex-boyfriend Lund for help, she decided to go for it for Xiaomia's sake.

"I'll talk to Lund. But let me make this clear: the Knights of Fame have strict rules, and even though Lund is in charge of logistics, he might not be able to get anyone in. Don't blame me if it doesn't work out."

"Thank you so much, sister! Thank you so much!"

Mia was so excited she almost jumped up and tried to shove the necklace into Scarlet's hands.

"Take it!"

Fei Lisi frowned, shoved the necklace back, and said somewhat angrily:

"Am I the kind of person who's greedy for small gains? Look at your shoes, they're all worn out! Wouldn't it be better to save that money for yourself, to buy a nice pair of shoes, or to treat yourself to a good meal?"

"But……"

"No buts. Let's go!"

Without saying a word, Fei Lisi grabbed Mia's hand and turned to walk towards the jewelry store.

"I'll go with you to return this thing. And don't you dare waste money like that again, understand?"

Mia was pulled along, staggering forward. Seeing that Fei Li Si was stubborn but holding her hand tightly, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Hmm... I heard you."

Although Fei Li Si looks down on her brother, she is a good person just like him.

……

The edge of the Whale Forest.

Starting at six in the morning, members of the martial arts group who were not on missions gradually left work.

When Goss returned to the treehouse in his dashing elite knight-errant uniform and black cloak, he was surprised to find an uninvited guest already standing at the door.

It was a golden antelope, a large and well-built animal dressed in a luxurious silk robe.

He was followed by two black bear bodyguards who were responsible for carrying boxes, making it seem like a grand affair.

Upon seeing Goss return, the Golden Takin's previously anxious face immediately broke into a warm smile, its chubby cheeks squeezing into a flower shape, and its shrewd little eyes sparkling.

"Oh my! This must be young Goss, right? He's quite the handsome young man, so dashing!"

The golden antelope strode forward, its sharp gaze sweeping over Goss's high-quality uniform, further confirming its judgment.

This kid seems to be true; he's the new genius of the Knights-Errant group.

Their own intelligence network can actually do some useful things.

The fact that he could wear such an impressive outfit shows that he held a very high position in the martial arts community.

"Who are you?" Goss stopped in his tracks, somewhat puzzled.

No one but Roger and Mia ever came to his dilapidated wooden house.

"My name is Bal, and I am the owner of the Swift Legs Merchant Guild."

Jinlingniu smiled and handed over a gold-embossed business card.

The Swift Legs Merchant Guild?

Goss raised an eyebrow. Wasn't this the boss of the errand company where Mia worked? The giant who monopolized the logistics business in Zou.

"So it's Boss Bar." Goss nodded.

"Did you need something?"

Baal rubbed his hands together and lowered his voice: "I'll get straight to the point. In a week, I'm going to sea to discuss a big business deal with the Kingdom of Wan."

"But you've seen my bodyguards; they're good at scaring people, but when it comes to pirates, they're a bunch of cowards. So I'd like to ask you, young man, to be my captain of the guard and come with me on a voyage."

Going to sea?

Goss's heart skipped a beat.

Since transmigrating, limited by his originally frail body, he could only curl up on the elephant's back.

Even if they are ambitious about the outside world, they know that going to sea without the strength is tantamount to being swallowed by the fish.

But now it's different.

Although Zou is comfortable, it is also like a huge greenhouse, which severely limits the upper limit of his progress.

To gain the ability to fight Jack within thirty days, simply driving wooden stakes into the forest is far from enough.

He needs real life-or-death battles, more advanced combat skills, and perhaps even the establishment of a force completely under his command.

"Why are you looking for me?" Goss asked in return.

"There are plenty of warriors in Zou with a bigger reputation than me. Veterans from the Musketeers and the Knights of Fame shouldn't be hard to find if you're willing to spend the money."

"Sigh, don't even mention it."

Barr sighed with a bitter face: "The Musketeers have a lot of rules and they don't take on private jobs."

The veteran members of the chivalrous group were all very arrogant, looking down on me as a money-grubbing businessman, and disdaining to be my bodyguard.

At this point, Barr leaned closer, his tone carrying a hint of flattery:

"And I've heard that although you're a newcomer, you're... well, you're quite pragmatic, unlike them who are so rigid. I like dealing with pragmatic people!"

Pragmatic? Isn't that just saying you have a bad reputation and are like a mad dog who will do anything for money?

However, Goss was not angry at all; on the contrary, he thought the assessment was very fair.

"I'll think about it."

He didn't agree immediately, wanting to see what price this big boss, decked out in gold and silver, would offer.

"Don't be so quick to refuse!"

Barr seemed to have been prepared, and he clapped his hands confidently.

The black bear bodyguard behind him immediately stepped forward and opened the box he was carrying.

"This is the deposit."

Inside the box was not Berry, but a gleaming brass key and a land deed stamped with an official seal.

"This is a large detached house in the heart of Claude City, with a private garden and swimming pool. It's fully furnished and in excellent security. Whether you agree or not, it's yours now."

Barr pointed to the dilapidated, drafty treehouse behind Goss, whose walls had been breached, and said meaningfully:

"Young man, you're now an elite member of the chivalrous group. Staying in a place like this is beneath your dignity. Besides..."

He paused, then unleashed his final trump card:

"I heard you have a younger sister named Mia who is your only family? That child works very hard under me."

Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about her. A big house with a garden is the kind of place you should live in, isn't it?

Barr's words struck Goss squarely at his weak point.
