One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

Qimi Town, port.

The huge beams of searchlight pierced the darkness, illuminating the dock as if it were daytime.

With a loud "boom," the flagship of Germa 66, the Saint Germa, slammed heavily against the shore.

As the massive suspension bridge slowly lowered, Goss, who had come to greet them, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head and looked at Franpe, whose face was still swollen, behind him.

"Assistant officer".

Goss suddenly spoke, his tone changing from cold and hard to gentle.

"Huh? What?!" Franpei covered her face warily.

"It's nothing, I just find it troublesome."

Goss scratched his messy hair, looking at the magnificent Germa warship with impatience and disdain:

"The Germa people are the royal family of the North Sea. I heard they have a lot of rules and they place great importance on bloodline and pomp."

"As a newly joined pirate, I hate dealing with these pretentious nobles the most. If I say something wrong, they'll think that Mom doesn't value them."

At this point, Goss glanced at Flampe, and as if he had just come up with an idea, casually removed the badge from his chest:

"You should go, aide."

He tossed the badge away casually, like throwing a worthless piece of metal:

"You're a daughter of the Charlotte family, so you're an expert at these kinds of social occasions that are all about maintaining appearances. Perfect, I'm too lazy to listen to all that polite talk anyway."

"Let them see the aura of a princess from all nations."

"Why?"

Franpe paused for a moment. Although something felt off, the sentence sounded quite pleasant!

"Hmph, so you've finally realized your place?"

"yes."

Goss even straightened her tattered collar and whispered seductively:

"Take this! Tonight, you're the star here. Let those bumpkins from the North Sea see what the aura of a Four Emperor's daughter really is."

"The protagonist... I am the protagonist..."

Franpe's eyes lit up instantly.

Vanity instantly overcame reason. She snatched the badge, pinned it to her chest, and raised her swollen pig's head.

"You're smart to know what's good for you!"

Franpe snorted triumphantly:

"Since you're begging me like this, then I'll reluctantly help you out! You barbarian can just stay in the back!"

"Yes, young lady."

Goss took a step back and stood behind the honey barrel, pretending to be a porter.

……

Two minutes later.

Gaji led his three sons down the suspension bridge in a menacing manner.

They were greeted by a little girl with a minister's badge on her chest, her face swollen like a pig's head, who tried her best to put on an arrogant posture.

"Ahem! I am Charlotte Flampe!"

Flampe, puffing out her chest, pointed at Jazz and the others, acting arrogantly:

"Welcome to Seven Honey Town! Although you're late, I'll allow you to arrive for my sake..."

"Who is this ugly monster?" Yuji asked with a look of disgust.

"Is this the standard of hospitality for the entire nation? A clown with a swollen face?" Ichiji sneered.

Jazz frowned, dissatisfied, but in order to preserve the Germa Kingdom's status in the subsequent transactions, he didn't say anything more.

"snort."

Seeing that Flampe, with her pig-like appearance, was still wearing the minister's badge, Niji, though furious, knew that this was the territory of one of the Four Emperors.

Since that ugly woman is a minister in name only, it would be too disrespectful to the old lady to attack her directly.

Since I can't slap my owner's face, I might as well take it out on the dog next to me.

Nichkhun's fierce eyes turned and landed on Goss, who was standing half a step behind Flampe, holding a wooden bucket and staring blankly.

His clothes were tattered and ragged, and he had that rather dim-witted expression. He was the perfect punching bag.

"Hey, servant over there."

Nijri raised his chin, arrogantly stretched out his foot, and pointed to his spotless technological combat boots: "When I disembarked just now, the dust here dirtied my shoes. Come here and clean them for me."

This was not just an order, but a humiliation. As the ruling class of the North Sea, Nijri relished seeing these inferiors trembling at his feet.

However, one second passed. Two seconds passed.

The man carrying the wooden bucket stood motionless, as if he were deaf, without even lifting his eyelids.

Those eyes were fixed on the hull of the Saint Germa, as if there were some stunning beauty there.

In fact, Goss was indeed lost in thought, and his mind wandered far away.

"Flampe is a better shield than I thought. She easily got rid of the trouble of hosting Germa."

"Next is infiltration. Going through the main gate will definitely get us noticed. Although I'm now under one of the Four Emperors, they certainly won't let me into Germa's core area."

"Ventilation ducts? No, too small. Drainage outlets at the bottom? Germa's ships should have rodent-proof fencing..."

"Should we just force our way in? Or find a lone clone soldier, knock him out, and use him as a makeshift clothes? Ugh, clone soldiers all have standardized builds; I don't think I'd fit in..."

Goss was completely absorbed in brainstorming how to steal the technology, automatically filtering out all ambient noise.

"..." The air in the port seemed to freeze.

Seeing Nicholas being completely ignored, Franpe's heart skipped a beat.

"That idiot Goss! How dare he ignore the prince of Germa?!"

She was a little flustered, afraid that Nicholas might make a big fuss in anger, and if the old lady blamed her, she would be in trouble too.

But then she thought about it again, and Franpe's swollen lips couldn't help but curl upwards.

"But... this is for the best."

If Nicholas could teach Goss a lesson, break a few of his ribs, or even kill him... wouldn't that make me feel better?

Yes! Hit him! Kill this barbarian!

Franpe even quietly moved a step to the side, giving Nicchi room to unleash his violence, her eyes filled with schadenfreude.

"Good...very good."

Completely ignored, Nicholas's expression gradually shifted from arrogance to ferocity.

For the proud and arrogant Vinsmoke family, being ignored by the lower classes was a more serious insult than being verbally abused.

"It seems the servants of the world aren't very good at hearing." Nicholas's temple veins throbbed.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

He strode toward Goss, each step accompanied by a dangerous blue arc of electricity crackling from his boots.

Even when he was less than half a meter away from Goss, the man was still in a daze, even frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about some difficult problem.

"I'm talking to you!!"

Nicholas finally snapped. He abruptly raised his foot and stomped on the rim of the barrel, his voice chilling:

"Since you can't hear me, then lick the soles of my shoes clean with your tongue!"

Seeing this tense scene, the other members of Germa reacted in different ways, but without exception, they were all filled with that condescending indifference.

"Hehehe... What a pitiful guy."

Yuji put his hands behind his head and let out a gloating laugh.

"boring."

Eiji pushed up his sunglasses expressionlessly, his voice icy and flat: "Niji, don't waste your time on this trash."

As for the father, Gaji stood with his hands behind his back, his stern face showing no intention of stopping him.

In his view, the royal dignity of Germa was inviolable.

For a servant to dare disregard a prince is an act of disrespect that, even in the territory of one of the Four Emperors, warrants the swift execution of a lowly servant.

This could even be a good opportunity to test the depth of that little girl minister's abilities.

Only Reiju, who remained on the ship, reacted differently.

Her usually half-open, alluring eyes were now peering through her pink bangs at the man who seemed terrified.

Something's not right...

As the most emotionally sensitive and insightful member of the family, Reiju keenly noticed a detail.

Faced with Nicholas's murderous aura, enough to terrify an ordinary person, and that electrified combat boot, the man's body... did not tremble in the slightest.

There was no cold sweat of fear, no rapid breathing, and even the heartbeat was frighteningly steady.

"Was he scared out of his wits? No..."

Reiju looked at Goss's dazed expression and a playful smile appeared on her lips.

"There was no fear in those eyes, only... indifference. Utter indifference."

"You bastard!!"

Nicholas's expression didn't change much; he still wore that arrogant smile that seemed like a mask.

Such complex negative emotions were eliminated from his genes long before he was born.

Faced with Goss's disregard, he felt only of a procedural error.

Why are the weak not afraid? Why do they not submit to the strong?

This doesn't make sense. Since it doesn't make sense, let's correct it.

Use the simplest and most violent means to physically erase it.

"This is so troublesome..."

Nicholas tilted his head, and in his eyes, hidden behind his goggles, there was no anger, only pure malice.

It's like a mischievous child wanting to casually crush a ungrateful insect.

"Since the brain is damaged, let's recycle and destroy it along with the body."

Sizzle—Boom!

Nicholas stopped talking and suddenly exerted force with his right leg.

The combat suit's jets roared, and blue high-voltage current, like a raging serpent, instantly coiled around his entire leg.

"Electrification... Needle puncture!!"

This attack showed no mercy. Carrying a terrifying voltage powerful enough to instantly char an elephant, Nijge's knee transformed into a bolt of blue lightning, slamming heavily into Goss's chest!

Spirp, sizzle, sizzle—!

A blinding flash of lightning instantly engulfed the two of them.

The entire port was bathed in a ghastly white light, and the air was thick with the acrid smell of burning electricity.

"Aaaaaah!!"

Franpe screamed in terror, covering her eyes with her hands, unable to bear the horrific scene.

"Hmph, this is what happens when you anger Germa."

Yuji whistled and turned around with a bored look on his face: "Let's go, Father. The bedbugs have been eliminated."

Ichiji and Yūji also looked indifferent.

In their view, the man who was hit head-on by that high voltage and was not wearing any protective clothing should have become a smoking corpse by now, with his internal organs cooked.

however.

One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.

The blinding blue lightning gradually dissipated.

There was no sound of someone falling to the ground as expected, nor any agonizing screams.

"...Is this the ability you're so proud of?"

A flat, even somewhat disappointed voice suddenly rang out in the quiet harbor.

"What?!"

Nicholas, who was about to turn and leave, paused and turned back abruptly.

Yuji's smile froze.

Franpe peeked out from between her fingers, her eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

All that could be seen was the still-lingering sparks of electricity.

Goss remained rooted to the spot, his feet firmly planted on the ground. The powerful electric shock from Nijri, capable of shattering rock, had struck him squarely.

But Goss... was completely unharmed. Except for a large hole burned through his clothes at the chest.

On the contrary, the blue currents that should have destroyed his body's cells were now strangely swimming across his skin, like a group of docile little snakes being greedily absorbed by his body.

"How...how is this possible?!"

Nicholas suddenly turned around, a puzzled look on his face.

"You bastard... are you even human?!"

Goss looked down at Nichkhun, a flash of golden electricity in his eyes.

"Thanks, blue-haired kid. I was feeling a bit sleepy earlier."

"The charging effect is pretty good."

Crack! As Goss finished speaking, the hair all over his body stood on end!

"Since you've given me such a generous gift..."

Goss's claw, covered in purplish-black lightning, suddenly gripped Nij's neck, locking it tightly like an iron clamp.

"Shouldn't it be my turn now?"

boom!!!

A burst of lightning, ten times more powerful and a hundred times more violent than Nichkhun's earlier strike, erupted from Goss's body!

If the electricity in Nijge is like a crackling high-voltage line, then the electricity in Goss is like a raging thunderstorm cloud.

The purplish-black lightning instantly poured into Niji's body!

"Wa ...

The most agonizing screams echoed throughout the entire town of Qimi.

To everyone's astonishment, Niji's prized Germa combat suit instantly overloaded, exploding into countless sparks.

He was struck stiff by lightning, his body billowing black smoke, and he convulsed violently like a broken toy.

boom!

Goss casually tossed the charred, foaming-at-the-mouth Nichkhun into the face of Germa's group, as if throwing away trash.

Nichkhun resembled a crooked painting, embedded in the ground, its body still convulsing uncontrollably, emitting foul-smelling black smoke.

The deathly silence lasted for less than two seconds.

Immediately afterwards, a shrill laugh broke the silence.

"Pfft... Hahahaha!!"

The fourth brother, Yuji, clutched his stomach and pointed at his second brother, who lay sprawled on the ground, looking utterly disheveled. "Hey, Yuji! What are you doing? You look terrible!"

"You actually got electrocuted by this kind of porter? You're such a disgrace to Germa! Is this the 'Electric Blue' who always boasts about being the fastest? Hahahaha!"

In his eyes, there was no such thing as brotherhood, only ruthless mockery of the weak. Losing meant being worthless.

Although the eldest brother, Ichiji, didn't smile, his cold and stern face also showed no concern.

He pushed up his sunglasses, not even glancing at Nicholas on the ground, and said coldly, "How ugly. You can't even resist this level of electricity. It seems your modifications aren't perfect enough, Nicholas."

"As one of Germa's greatest masterpieces, it actually collapsed before even meeting Big Mom... What a disgrace to the family."

When his two sons not only showed no concern but also mocked him, the father, Jia Zhi, did not stop them.

But his gaze wasn't on Nij, but fixed firmly on Goss.

At that instant, the pupils of Gaji, hidden beneath his dignified mask, were trembling violently.

"impossible……"

"Niji's combat suit is made of shape memory metal and heat-resistant fiber, and its insulation is sufficient to withstand tens of thousands of volts of high voltage."

In addition, his own body, modified by bloodline factors, is incredibly strong…”

"How could that man have turned the tables and broken through my defenses in an instant?"

Garj is a scientist. In his data model, even if the Mink Tribe is skilled at using static electricity, they shouldn't have such an exaggerated energy level.

"This man... is not just a Mink. That control over lightning... is this the strength of the Four Emperors of the World of Warcraft? He's just an insignificant porter, yet he possesses such power."

"And what kind of power does that minister possess?"

Judge looked at Flampe, whose head looked like a pig's.

For the first time, Gaji put away his contempt and replaced it with a sense of apprehension.

Of all the people, Reiju had the most complicated feelings.

She stood at the edge of the deck, her pink cloak fluttering in the sea breeze.

Seeing her usually arrogant younger brother, who always took pleasure in bullying the weak, lying on the ground like a dead dog, Reiju felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

"Well done..." Reiju looked at Goss, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Finally, someone's teaching these arrogant brats a lesson. Is this what they mean by 'there's always someone better'?"

But then she narrowed her eyes slightly.

Regardless, it was a prince of the Vinsmoke family who fell.

As the older sister, if she allows outsiders to trample on Germa's dignity, then Germa will have already lost before the marriage even begins.

"Although I'm happy to see my silly little brother get his comeuppance, I can't just stand by and watch."

"and……"

Reiju stuck out her tongue and gently licked her bright red lips, her alluring eyes fixed on Goss, as if looking at a highly tempting prey.

"I really want to try it myself, this beastly man who can even devour lightning..."

"Can you resist my 'kiss'?"
