One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

"Yes, Mom."

Snag lowered his head even further, a sinister smile spreading wildly in the shadows.

He knows all too well how to provoke his mother:

Snag paused, then emphasized his words, as if stating an unforgivable crime:

"That Goss was fast asleep the whole time, and didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky!"

"And the sacred task of receiving and escorting Germa, which you personally entrusted to him, he didn't even glance at it, simply tossing it to young Flampe like trash!"

"This is not just laziness..."

Snag raised his head, his eyes filled with malice, his words piercingly scathing: "This is blatant dereliction of duty! He treats your orders like a joke! He'd rather sleep than serve you!"

"Well……"

The woman stopped chewing. The air seemed to freeze.

"Overslept...? And then dumped it on Franpe...?"

The woman repeated these words, and a suffocating anger gradually rose in her originally somewhat cloudy eyes.

For this tyrant who would even take the lives of her own children, laziness and perfunctory behavior were among the qualities she could least tolerate—unless that person was herself.

"Mama mama..."

A low, guttural laugh rolled out from deep within the woman's throat, but this time there was no laughter, only a chilling brutality.

"That's really bold..."

Boom!! The old lady slammed her hand on the armrest, and the entire cake castle seemed to tremble!

"Go and bring him to me, Snag!"

The woman leaned forward abruptly, her enormous face looming close to Snag's, spitting as she shouted, "Bring him here!"

"I want to ask him myself..."

The red light in the old woman's eyes intensified, and the "Prometheus" above her head burst into flames, making her face appear like a demon: "What kind of beautiful dream could be more important than completing my mission?"

"If his reasons don't satisfy me... then I'll let him sleep forever! And make him part of my collection!!"

Snag was overjoyed. Goss was finished!

In the eyes of this middle-aged woman, dereliction of duty is equivalent to a capital offense!

"Yes, Mom!"

Snag stood up abruptly, his eyes flashing with cruel excitement, and roared, "I'm going to the port right now!"

If he dares to resist, I will throw him at your feet and make him repent!

Juice Island, Smoothie Castle Banquet Hall.

"Mmm...this carrot cake is delicious..."

Carrot was holding a cake bigger than her face, her mouth covered in cream.

Mia, sitting cross-legged on the ground with the long sword resting on her knees, closed her eyes to rest.

Just then.

hum.

The decorative floor-length mirror behind Carrot suddenly rippled eerily like the surface of water.

"Who?!"

Mia suddenly opened her eyes, her hand on the hilt of her knife, and looked warily into the mirror.

A hand stained with blood emerged from the mirror without warning!

That hand grabbed Carrot by the back of her collar with incredible precision as she was munching on a cake.

Afternoon tea time is over, everyone.

A slightly hoarse voice came from deep within the mirror: "It's time to check out."

"Huh?! What—whoaaaaaah!!"

Before Carrot could react, the entire rabbit was pulled into the mirror like a radish being plucked! The cake in her hand traced an arc in the air.

"Goss?!"

Mia was taken aback. Before she could even get up, another hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.

A tremendous, strange force surged forth. The world spun around them.

……

The world in the mirror.

Pfft!Pfft!

Two figures tumbled out of the mirror in a disheveled state, landing on the floor of the fantastical, distorted mirror world.

"Ouch...my cake..."

Carrot rubbed her bottom and got up, about to complain, when she looked up and saw a dark figure standing in front of them.

The man, dressed in tattered, blood-stained clothes, was looking down at them.

"Goss! What are you doing...?"

Mia stood up in surprise, but the moment she saw Goss's face in the dim light, the rest of her words caught in her throat.

"Brother! Your face..."

Mia's voice trembled, and her pupils contracted sharply.

It was a horrific scar that ran across his entire face, with the skin torn and peeling back.

The captain, who was originally gloomy but still handsome, was gone. In his place was a demon who looked like he had just crawled back from a hellish battlefield.

Carrot was also so frightened that she covered her mouth, her long ears drooping, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Captain...who beat you up like this? Was it that scary scarf-wearing man?"

"Enough talk, let's go."

Goss casually waved his hand, interrupting her concern: "What, you don't recognize me after only half a day apart?"

Mia took a deep breath, and the worry in her eyes instantly transformed into a deeper fervor and adoration.

She could sense that Goss had changed. It wasn't just the physical scars, but a transformation in his demeanor—he had become more dangerous, more unfathomable.

"Reporting to the captain."

Mia quickly adjusted her state, and while following Goss through the labyrinth of the mirror world, she reported to the leader: "Although I was severely suppressed by that woman Armand, it seems that I... have broken through."

She raised her hand, her palm instantly covered with a layer of jet-black Armament Haki. Then, she closed her eyes, slightly shifted her body, and precisely dodged a fragment flying around in the mirror world.

"I've mastered the art of hardening my Armament Haki, and I can now roughly sense the enemy's movements with my Observation Haki."

Mia looked at her hands in disbelief: "It's strange... it's like some kind of switch inside my body has been flipped."

This kind of practice usually takes several years, but I feel... I only took one day.

Goss stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head and stared intently at Mia. One day? The basics of dual-color Haki? Even Luffy, the chosen one, trained for a year and a half under Rayleigh's guidance.

Mia's talent is good, but it's impossible for her to reach such a monstrous level.

Unless… Goss touched his own throbbing scar.

It's because of me. Mia seems to have shared my strength to some extent, including the domineering abilities she learned.

Since Mia has already awakened Observation Haki, how could I, as the source, have really lost it?

"wrong."

Goss murmured to himself, "It's still there. It must still be inside me."

He closed his eyes and tried again to summon the vanished energy.

Just like before, it was completely empty.

Once that kind of spiritual power is generated, it disappears instantly, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Where did it disappear to? Was it swallowed up?

Goss calmed down and stopped looking for Qi, instead searching for something that would devour it.

This time, he saw it.

Within his body, amidst the intricate network of blood vessels and nerves, flowed his unique bioelectric currents.

That was the source of his power—lightning.

At this moment, the tiny bit of invisible Observation Haki that he had painstakingly gathered was immediately captured by those violent blue electric currents as soon as it was born!

The two intertwined, and the domineering aura was no longer pure, but rather incorporated into the electric current, resulting in a strange chemical reaction.

"I see……"

Goss suddenly opened his eyes, a wildly joyful smile curving his lips.

"It didn't disappear, it merged with it."

"Or...it has mutated."

The domineering aura has become one with the lightning, making it impossible to release it in the traditional way.

Instead, release it like releasing an electric current!

"Sizzle..."

Goss raised his hand, no longer deliberately trying to push the energy, but instead, with a thought, he activated the electromagnetic force within his body.

Splat, splat.

Extremely fine, almost invisible static sparks erupted from his fingertips, hair tips, and pores.

Although these static charges are weak and harmless, each tiny electron contains Goss's mental energy!

boom--!!

In that instant, Goss's world changed.

It's no longer the three-meter-wide spider web that Katakuri just trained on.

This time, along with the spread of static electricity, those charged particles radiated wildly in all directions like countless miniature drones!

Ten meters...fifty meters...one hundred meters!

The range of perception has increased exponentially!

Moreover, the precision of its perception is terrifyingly outrageous!

Because static electricity can penetrate anywhere.

He can not only see the movement of air, but he can even touch the shape of every dust particle in the air;

It can detect the microscopic cracks on the surface of the mirror on Brulee's side in the distance;

They could even sense the bioelectrical signals of the blood flowing through Carrot's skin!

This is no longer just a simple intuition.

It's practically comparable to a panoramic biological radar.

"Heh...hehehe..."

Goss looked at his palm, which was wrapped in faint arcs of electricity, and laughed so hard that his shoulders shook.

"Katakuri-sensei, it seems I'm going to surpass him."

Compared to traditional Observation Haki, this charged Observation Haki travels farther and detects more details!

……

Honey Island Port.

The "Saint Germa" was quietly docked at the pier, which was made of a giant honeycomb.

"Puhaha—!!"

In the shadows below the waterline of the warship, a red barnacle that appeared to be growing on the hull suddenly moved.

Immediately afterwards, a human head with a conspicuous red nose was suddenly "pulled" off the deck.

"Damn it... has it finally stopped?"

Bucky was panting heavily, his face pale from being soaked in seawater.

He carefully activated his ability, summoning back his limbs and torso piece by piece from the bottom of the ship, reassembling them into a body like building blocks.

"Is this Honey Island?"

Bucky hid behind a pile of goods, watching the buildings around him dripping with honey. His cunning eyes began to dart about, a determined glint in them.

"Why can't I feel my neck anymore? That brat named Goss isn't around here!"

Bucky was extremely anxious. He pulled his hat brim down low and huddled inside his coat, moving quickly through the shadows of the harbor like a guilty thief.

Those thieving eyes darted around, trying to find Goss's whereabouts in this unfamiliar territory.

Suddenly, he stopped abruptly, frozen in place.

On the other side of the harbor, away from the bustling crowds, a pirate ship was moored all alone.

The sea breeze blew, and the flag hanging at the top of the mast fluttered in the wind—it featured a ferocious-looking honey badger.

"Aha! Found it!"

Bucky's eyes lit up, and he showed a surprised expression.

He looked around. There were no guards around the ship, and Goss himself was nowhere to be seen.

It looks like that kid has disembarked.

"Hahahaha..."

Bucky covered his mouth and let out a sly laugh: "If I go to him now, and a fight breaks out, I'll have to put in a lot of effort. Perhaps..."

"Fragmented - Stealth Mode!"

His body instantly dispersed, his hands and feet touching the ground, and he silently made his way to the stern hatch of the Narwhal, slipping inside without a sound.

The cabin was pitch black, with only the faint blue light from the instrument panel.

He skillfully squeezed himself into a wooden barrel.

"call……"

Bucky adjusted to a comfortable position, pulled a not-soaked biscuit from his pocket, and took a big bite.

"Hahaha... The most dangerous place is the safest. No one would have thought I was hiding here."

He chewed on a biscuit in the darkness, his eyes gleaming with a shrewd and sinister light, completely devoid of the panic he had shown moments before.

"A head-on war? Only a brainless idiot would do that."

"Hmph, hunting requires patience."

Bucky glanced towards the hatch, a sinister smile creeping across his lips—an expression only a seasoned pirate who had spent years navigating the high seas could wear.

"No matter how terrifying a monster it is, as long as it is human, the body will get tired and the nerves will relax."

"As long as he's still breathing, there will always be a moment when he slips up."

"I'll wait here in the darkness. I'll wait until late at night, until that brat's guard is at its lowest and he's fast asleep..."

"At that time, it will be control of this ship, the treasure in the vault... or my neck."

Bucky made a grabbing motion, as if he had already grasped the whole world:

"They'll all be mine! Hahahaha!"

……

The world in the mirror.

Goss closed his eyes, needing to concentrate fully as he had just acquired this power.

But he soon discovered that this charged Observation Color was not just like radar, but more like a holographic God's-eye view.

The electric current overflowed through the cracks in the mirror world, ignoring the barriers of space, and instantly enveloped the real-world port hundreds of meters away.

"I saw it."

In his mind, countless faint bioelectric signals constructed a gray-white three-dimensional map.

Those were the busy Homitz soldiers, those were the flowing honey, and... that quietly moored warship that he felt so close to—the Narwhal.

But the next second, Goss's eyebrows shot up.

"Hmm? That's...?"

A very strange bioelectric signal appeared at the tail of the Narwhal.

Unlike a normal magnetic field core, it is more like several malfunctioning data streams.

These clusters of signals, like a swarm of startled cockroaches, stealthily entered the cabin and continued to bizarrely split and recombine.

On this vast ocean, there is only one creature capable of freely slicing its own life magnetic field into fragments.

"A thousand taels of silver...Baki?"

Goss slowly opened his eyes, and the electric arcs dancing on his fingertips became even more lively.

"What's he doing here?"
