One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

As if she had heard a terrifying story, she abruptly shook off Goss's hand and jumped back a large step.

"Going to see my brother Katakuri?!"

Upon hearing this request, Brulee, whose wrist was being held by Goss, turned deathly pale and shook her head violently.

"No! Absolutely not!"

"My brother is at that time right now!"

Anyone who dares to disturb him will be killed! Even I wouldn't dare!

Brulee struggled desperately, trying to shrink back into the mirror. In Tales of Hollows, disturbing Katakuri's afternoon tea was a grave offense, and even her own sister wouldn't dare risk it.

"I wasn't there to interrupt him while he was eating his donuts."

Goss's eyes were cold, directly piercing through Brulee's concerns, then he lowered his voice: "I'm going to deliver a gift. A gift that can erase his greatest regret."

"Pity?"

Brulee paused for a moment, then said, "My brother is a perfect man; he has no regrets!"

"Whether it is or not, you know it in your heart." Goss glanced meaningfully at the scar on Bry's face.

Brulee instinctively covered her face, her eyes darting away.

"and……"

Goss suddenly pushed Soton, who was behind him, forward and winked at the crocodile man.

Although Thornton wasn't very bright, he was obedient.

He immediately blinked his dull little eyes, gently tugged at Brulee's sleeve with his rough, scaly hands, and once again uttered that honest yet menacing voice:

"The mighty pirate sister... lead the way, please."

Brulee instantly twisted into a pretzel, cupping her burning cheeks in her hands, her eyes brimming with pink bubbles: "Oh my~~ this child is so good with words! Really~ since you've begged me like this..."

She stamped her foot shyly, grabbed Thornton's hand, and with her other hand disdainfully pulled Goss over: "Fine! For the sake of the little crocodile! Come with me!"

Buzz—the three of them instantly disappeared into the mirror.

A world reflected in a mirror, a distorted corridor.

This is a bizarre and fantastical space.

The floor is made of black and white checkered patterns that are upside down, there is a giant teapot floating in the air, and there are countless mirrors that lead to every corner of the world.

Brulee walked at the front, like a tour guide, turning back every now and then to give instructions: "Watch your step, little crocodile~ This way leads to Nut Island, and that way leads to the Temptation Forest..."

Goss followed behind expressionlessly, clutching the "scar transfer bodysuit" tightly in his pocket.

To persuade a man with Observation Haki who can foresee the future, you must tell him the whole truth from the very first second you meet him.

It took about ten minutes to walk.

The surrounding scenery suddenly became oppressive. The air was filled with a sweet yet heavy aroma of glutinous rice.

Brulee stopped in front of an enormous mirror with a border decorated with mochi patterns.

"arrive."

Brulee's voice instantly became extremely respectful, even tinged with fear.

She straightened her skirt, took a deep breath, and turned to Goss to warn him:

"Listen, Goss. Whatever you're going to say, you'd better hurry. If you anger your brother, I can't save you."

"And..." she glanced at Thornton, "Don't let the little crocodile talk, brother doesn't like noise."

Goss nodded solemnly: "Don't worry. What I brought him was the news he'd wanted to hear most in his life."

Brulee hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and gently tapped the mirror.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Brother... I'm Brulee."

"Um... the new guy, Goss, said there's something very important about me that he insists on telling you in person."

A heavy ripple spread across the surface of the mirror.

After a while, Katakuri's voice came through.

"Come in."

Goss straightened his collar, his gaze hardening, and stepped into the mirror.

On a chair made of glutinous rice sat a figure that looked like a demon.

Charlotte Katakuri.

The air was still filled with the rich, lingering aroma of donuts.

Although Katakuri sat cross-legged in the chair, appearing unmoving, his black-gloved hand was pressed tightly against the fur scarf covering the lower half of his face, as if he had just hurriedly pulled it up.

His Adam's apple bobbed almost imperceptibly—clearly as he forced down the last bite of the enormous sweet treat.

Even from a distance, one could feel the palpable rage emanating from this perfect general, a rage born from the "forced interruption of his happy time."

Hearing footsteps, Katakuri slowly opened his eyes.

Those were a pair of scarlet pupils, so deep they seemed to see through the mists of time.

"Goss".

Katakuri's voice was low and hoarse, devoid of any emotion, clearly indicating that he already knew who the visitor was through intelligence or precognition:

"You'd better give me a reason for disturbing my rest."

Bry was so frightened that she trembled and hid behind Goss, too scared to speak.

Goss, however, showed no fear. He dusted off his clothes, stepped forward, and instead of mentioning treatment, stared intently at the hideous scar on Bry's face.

"Of course there are reasons."

Goss pointed at Brulee's face and slowly began to speak:

"Lord Katakuri, I have my eye on something that belongs to Lady Brûlée."

He paused, his eyes burning with fervor:

"Could you give it to me? That scar."

boom!!

The air froze instantly.

The next second, an extremely terrifying Conqueror's Haki erupted like a tsunami! The surrounding floating mirrors shattered in an instant!

"Are you... looking for death?"

Katakuri suddenly stood up, veins bulging on his forehead—that was his absolute Achilles' heel.

In his understanding, Goss was blatantly mocking and humiliating Brulee's appearance, reopening his deepest wounds!

"Even if you're someone my mother values, I'll still kill you!"

The massive trident "Earth Dragon" was instantly acquired, its sharp edge aimed directly at Goss's throat!

Brulee screamed and tried to rush forward: "Brother, no!!"

However, Goss didn't even blink when faced with the deadly blade that could kill him instantly.

Instead of retreating, he calmly pulled out a piece of fabric with an eerie metallic sheen from his pocket and said:

"Don't misunderstand, Lord Katakuri. I meant exactly what I said."

"I really want to take this scar... off her face and put it on my face."

Katakuri's movements abruptly stopped in mid-air, the trident less than a centimeter from Goss's nose.

"...What did you say?"

"This is the new technology that Germa 66 gave me."

Goss held up the cloth in his hand, his eyes as sincere as a devout believer:

"Bio-scar transfer medium. This is the Vinsmoke family's cutting-edge technology; it can perfectly transfer one person's scars to another."
