One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

Goss was somewhat surprised, but then, looking at the red figure in his Observation Haki who was huddled in the shadows of the cargo hold, staring maliciously at the hatch, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Judging by this, are they lying in wait for me? Trying to ambush me?"

Goss shook his head, shifting his gaze from his own Narwhal to the more magnificent "Saint Germa" next to him, which was packed with cutting-edge technology.

"What a pity, Buggy has Conqueror's Haki and good luck."

Your luck seems to be a bit off this time.

"The ambush location you carefully selected is nothing more than scrap metal that I'm preparing to discard."

Since you like that ship so much, you can keep it.

Goss thought to himself sarcastically, "I'll just wait there. I won't go back even if the world ends."

What I'm taking away is this huge thing in front of me.

Having made up his mind, Goss ignored the smug red-nosed man.

Right now, he faces an even more important target—the flagship Saint Germa, which is moored nearby and fully loaded with Germa's core technology.

"Go out right here."

Goss pointed to an abandoned bronze mirror in a corner of the harbor.

He and Mia Thorton, along with the others, squeezed through the not-so-large mirror as if crossing water, and finally stepped onto the solid streets of Seven Honey Town.

"Alright, Brulee."

Goss crouched down and said to Bryce, who was peeking out of the mirror, "You can stop here. What we're about to do is going to be a big deal, so don't get involved."

"Huh?"

Bry looked bewildered. She didn't know Goss planned to steal the ship and thought it was just a normal farewell: "Well... goodbye, Goss. You can come find me in the mirror again sometime."

"Thanks. Go on your way." Goss waved with a smile.

As Brulee's figure disappeared into the depths of the mirror, Goss's smile vanished instantly, and his eyes sharpened like knives once more.

"Let's go, get on that big ship."

He pointed at the Saint Germa, which stood before him like an iron fortress, with a determined expression on his face.

The group quickly avoided the Homi soldiers around them and boarded the Saint Germa by following the cable.

Goss, familiar with the route, headed straight for the bridge, plopped down in the commander's chair, and rapidly tapped on the control panel, attempting to start the engine.

However, reality gave him a resounding slap in the face.

A few minutes later, in the cockpit of the Saint Germa.

"Beep! Beep! Access denied! Cannot start engine unless you are of Vinsmoke royal blood."

The cold, mechanical sound was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Goss's enthusiasm for buying the warship for free.

"Tsk, that old bastard Judge..."

Goss slammed his fist on the control panel, the electric current making the screen crackle and sizzle.

"They actually added a genetic lock to every single step? What a delusional bastard."

He didn't have time to crack it.

His electrostatic perception range is extremely wide, almost covering the entire Six Honey Island.

Meanwhile, a raging red mass of malice was approaching them at an alarming speed from afar.

They'll be right in front of us in five minutes at most.

Judging from the intensity of that maliciously released energy, it was most likely that damned Snag.

"Captain, what should we do? Destroy it?"

Mia gripped the knife hilt, her eyes cold.

Since we can't take it with us, let's blow it up. Mia believes that's the logic of pirates.

"No."

Goss narrowed his single eye, his gaze traveling down the corridor to the ship's prison area.

He thought of Reiju, whom he had imprisoned in the cell.

"Since we can't take the hardware with us, we'll take the chips instead."

A wicked smile crept across Goss's lips as he turned and strode out of the cockpit.

"As long as we have them, we'll always have a chance to come back and take these technologies with interest."

The Saint Germa, prison section.

The air in the dimly lit cell was cold and damp.

Click.

The heavy electronic lock was opened, and the metal door slid to one side.

Goss stepped inside, his gaze sweeping towards the corner of the cell.

There, Vinsmoke Reiju was curled up in the corner, completely naked.

Without her signature pink combat suit, Germa's eldest daughter appeared exceptionally vulnerable.

Her hands had been tightly locked behind her back by Goss with specially made alloy shackles, so she could only curl up her legs as much as possible, using her knees and arms to cover her perfect body exposed to the air. Her fair skin flushed pink from the cold and shame.

Hearing the door open, she looked up in alarm, and when she saw that it was Goss who had entered, her eyes burned with shame and anger.

"Don't come any closer, you bastard!"

Reiju gritted her teeth and desperately shrank back, trying to hide herself in the shadows.

Even someone as calm and sharp-tongued as her couldn't remain composed in this undignified situation.

"It seems you've failed."

Despite feeling extremely ashamed, Reiju still maintained the pride of the Vinsmoke family and mocked in a trembling voice, "Do you want to humiliate me with such despicable means?"

"It's no use... Father's warship only recognizes bloodline factors. Even if you manage to seize the ship, you won't be able to sail it away."

"It is indeed scrap metal."

Goss stared blankly at the spring scenery before him.

He strode up to her, casting a shadow over her from above: "So, I've changed my mind."

"What...what do you want to do?!" Reiju looked at the approaching Goss, her face pale.

"If I can't take the ship, I must take some spoils of war, otherwise I'll have been a pirate for nothing."

Goss took out the prepared sheet.

Splash!

He roughly wrapped the sheet around Reiju's body like a packaged item, covering her alluring figure, then suddenly reached out, grabbed her collar (which was covered by the sheet), and lifted her off the ground.

The two were nose to nose, and their breaths could be heard.

"Congratulations, Your Highness. You've been promoted."

Goss grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth: "Now, you've gone from being my prisoner to a hostage."

"Let me go! I am royalty of Germa! You can't—"

Reiju was filled with shame and rage. Her long legs struggled violently under the sheets, trying to kick Goss.

Sizzle—!

"Ugh!!"

A violent blue current instantly erupted from Goss's palm, flowing into her entire body through the point of contact.

The intense numbness caused Reiju to let out a painful groan, her body instantly going limp in Goss's arms, her last bit of strength drained away.

"Save your energy."

Goss hoisted Reiju, who was all limp and wrapped up like a dumpling, onto his shoulder and unceremoniously pressed down on her legs, which were trying to move: "There's a mad dog chasing us outside. I don't have time to play this game of restraint with you."

"Father... will never let you get away with this..."

Reiju leaned on Goss's shoulder, tears welling in her eyes, and said through gritted teeth.

"Let him come."

Goss strode out of the cell, his voice echoing down the corridor, utterly arrogant: "What I'm afraid of is that he doesn't care about you at all, and won't even come."

outside the hallway.

Mia, who had been standing guard at the door, turned around immediately upon hearing footsteps: "Brother, is it all settled? The ship...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Mia's voice trailed off.

She stared blankly at the human-shaped package that her brother was carrying on his shoulder.

Although wrapped in a bed sheet, her exposed, fair, and slender calves and ankles, as well as her clearly feminine curves, all indicated that she was a woman who was not wearing clothes.

"this……"

Mia's usually fierce face flushed red to her ears, and her eyes became unfocused as she looked directly at her brother.

A storm raged in her heart: Brother...didn't my brother go in to get the spoils?

How... how did you manage to steal out such a naked and beautiful woman?

And he even carried it directly on his shoulder? How domineering!

Mia stole a glance at Reiju's still stunningly beautiful face, even in her disheveled state, and her heart pounded. An extremely bold idea popped into her head:

Could it be... that my brother is planning to find me a sister-in-law?

That's true, my brother isn't young anymore, it's time to... no, it's time to find a captain's wife.

"What are you standing there for?"

Goss, completely oblivious to his sister's wildly divergent train of thought, frowned and urged her as he passed by:

"Everyone retreat! Back to the Narwhal!!"

……

The Narwhal, deck.

Boom!

A tremendous roar echoed throughout the harbor.

This warship, belonging to Goss, sets sail once again.

"Set sail! Destination—leave the international waters!"

Goss stood at the bow of the ship, the wind whipping his clothes.

He glanced back into the depths of the cabin—where Bucky was huddled in a barrel, dreaming of getting rich.

"Oh……"

Goss couldn't help but shake his head, a hint of absurdity and amazement flashing in his eyes.

"Is this the legendary Conqueror's Haki luck?"

He secretly mocked himself: "I had already planned to abandon ship and get a new one, throwing you, this rat, along with this old ship, to the whole world."

"In the end, it was that damned access lock that forced me to obediently return to this ship and walk back into your ambush."

Goss looked in the direction of the wooden barrel, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

This red-nosed guy didn't even do anything—he neither fought nor used his brain—he just hid there, and fate automatically corrected all the deviations, forcibly sending him, Goss, back.

"What an enviable talent..."

Goss tightened his grip on the steering wheel, a helpless yet resigned smile playing on his lips, and murmured softly:

"Alright, Bucky. Since you're so eager to come with me, I'll take you to see an even more exciting world!"

"Hmph, everyone's here."

Goss gave a cold laugh.

Goodbye, ma'am.

Whoosh—!

Like an arrow released from a bow, the Unicorn cut through the waves and instantly burst out of the harbor of Seven Honey Town.

……

Two minutes later, at the port of Qimi Town.

Boom! !

With a loud crash, a deep crater was blasted into the ground.

Snack, his entire body enveloped in terrifying Armament Haki, arrived at the scene like an enraged rhinoceros.

"Goss!!"

However, all that awaited him was an empty dock and the huge waves stirred up by the forced takeoff.

The Narwhal, which originally belonged to Goss, has now become a distant black dot.

"They ran away?!"

Snag stared at the black dot, the veins on his forehead throbbing, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

But what was raging in his mind at that moment was not just anger, but also a deep sense of absurdity and self-doubt.

"Why...?"

Snag gripped the railing tightly, oblivious to his snapping fingernails, his mind screaming in rage:

"It's just a very simple errand-running task!"

"I'm just here to ask him to see his mother! It's not even an arrest!"

"That bastard will only get a scolding if he comes with me obediently; he won't die!"

He racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out.

Why did Goss run?

This completely changed the nature of the situation! It went from dereliction of duty and being late or leaving early to defection in an instant!

"Why...why is my luck always so bad?"

Snag gritted his teeth, a surge of bitterness and rage welling up inside him.

He felt as if he were cursed.

"Why is it that everything, even something as simple as eating and drinking, inexplicably spirals out of control and becomes an unmanageable mess once it falls into my hands, Snag?!"

"Are you kidding me?!"

"You bastard!!"

Unable to vent his anger, Snag grabbed a trembling Homitz soldier beside him and roared, "Prepare the ship! Bring my Bomber here!!"

"But Lord Snag... went to sea without Mother's orders..."

Click.

The soldier was crushed into powder.

"I said go! Now!!"

Snag tossed away the scraps, staring at the distant horizon, his eyes blazing with murderous intent—a final, desperate attempt to mask his doomed fate.

"Goss...you can't escape. Even if I chase you to the ends of the earth, I'll skin you alive and make you into a carpet!!"

After a while.

A massive pirate ship bearing the banner of a general sailed out of the harbor, like a mad beast, relentlessly pursuing the trajectory of the Narwhal.

A gentle sea breeze blows, and the waves are calm.

Compared to the chaotic scene in Qimi Town, this place is exceptionally peaceful and serene.

A huge amphibious pirate ship was gently bobbing with the waves.

On the deck, a burly whale shark-man with blue skin was sitting cross-legged on a tatami mat.

Jinpei, the Knight of the Sea.

He was wearing a yukata embroidered with patterns, holding a steaming cup of tea in his hand, with the latest copy of the World Economic News spread out in front of him.

"Brubrubrub..."

"Brubrubrub..."

The tranquility was shattered by a rapid, almost irritating ringing of a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooped-up phone).

The fish-man crew member next to him frantically connected the signal receiver, and upon seeing the printed emergency message, his face changed drastically: "Boss Jinbe! Something terrible has happened!"

"It's a top-level emergency investigation order from General Snag! Just now, a serious incident occurred in Seven Honey Town!"

The crew handed the telegram to the surface, their voices urgent: "Lord Snag says that a madman named Goss is sailing out to sea in a ship called the Narwhal!"

The route is speculated to pass through a shipping lane near us!

"He ordered us to immediately deploy all our ships to intercept them! We must sink them! If they escape, we will be held accountable!"

"Well……"

Jinbe put down his teacup. He slightly opened his eyes, glanced at the telegram filled with words like "extremely urgent," "death sentence," and "interception," and then looked at the Den Den Mushi that was still roaring with a ferocious expression mimicking Snag's.

The air was silent for three seconds.

"Boss Jinbe? Should we...?"

The crew member asked tentatively.

With a whoosh, Jinbe stretched out his thick fingers, gently pinched the telegram, flipped it over, and placed it face down on the table.

"I didn't see anything."

"Huh?!"

The crew members stared wide-eyed, like dead fish.

"The ocean currents are too strong today, the signal is not very good."

Jinbe calmly picked up his teacup again, gently blew on the floating tea leaves, and said in an unperturbed tone, "That Snag guy, if it were Mother's order, he would have already announced it throughout the entire territory via the castle's public address system. Since he's going crazy on this private channel..."

Jinbe took a sip of tea, picked up the newspaper again, and used it to cover his face: "That means he messed things up himself and wanted to drag me down with him to clean up his mess."

"I have no interest in this utterly heartless mess."

"But boss... what if Lord Snag blames us afterwards..."

"Just tell them I was in seclusion cultivating and didn't hear you."

Jinbe turned a page of the newspaper, looking at the news about Goss, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his lips, completely ignoring the Den Den Mushi next to him that was still screaming "Brubrubru" wildly:

"This is truly excellent tea..."

……

boom--!!!

A jet-black afterimage, like a black torpedo flying close to the ground, whipped up two giant waves tens of meters high, and with an incomparably ruthless manner, directly pierced through the Sun Pirates' defense zone!

A strong wind howled past, even blowing the newspaper out of Jinbe's hand, making his loose yukata flutter, and causing ripples to spread in the teacup.

That ship was too fast.

Completely black, with a single horn at the bow gleaming coldly in the sunlight—it was Goss's Narwhal.

On the bow of the ship, you could even vaguely see a few figures.

"..."

Jinbe maintained his tea-serving posture, squinting as his gaze followed the ship's rapid movement until it crashed into the last wave of the World's Ocean boundary like a black meteor, plunging into the vast and free open sea.

"That is..."

Jinbe muttered something to himself, then calmly reached out and caught the newspaper that was falling from the sky, smoothing it out again.

"It seems the waves are indeed quite high today."

He acted as if he hadn't seen anything at all, and lowered his head to take a sip of tea.

"However, the tea is still hot. That's good."

……

Crash!

Snag's "Bomb" finally arrived, panting heavily.

However, this pirate ship, which relies on traditional sails, is clearly no match for the Narwhal, which has an automatic propulsion system.

When Snag reached the boundary, there was no trace of Goss on the sea surface except for a white wake that had not yet disappeared.

The black ship had long since disappeared into the thick fog and surging waves, completely escaping the surveillance range of the world.

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

Snag stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the empty sea, and let out a wild, unwilling roar.

He slammed his fists against the railing, the terrifying force smashing the railing at the bow into pieces, sending splinters flying everywhere.

"He got away?! He actually got away?!"

"In this entire world! Right under my nose!!"

Snack was trembling with rage; this was an utter disgrace to the Big Mom Pirates!

Suddenly, he turned his head sharply, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the large ship of the Sun Pirates, which was leisurely sailing not far away.

He could see it clearly: Jinbe was sitting on the deck! From that position, if Jinbe had just made a slight move to stop them, even if it was just creating a current, Gos would definitely not have been able to escape!

"Jinbe!!!"

Snag roared at them, spitting as he spoke, the veins on his neck throbbing like earthworms: "Are you blind?! A huge ship passed right in front of you! Why didn't you stop it?!"

"Did you let him go on purpose?! I'm going to tell Mom! I'll report you for treason!!"

However, he was met with the general's hysterical roar.

On the distant deck, the chubby blue man slowly put down his teacup, turned to the side, picked at his ear with his little finger, and looked puzzled, as if to say, "The wind is too loud, I can't hear you."

He then turned and walked into the cabin without even glancing at Snag.

"Damn it... damn fishman!!"

Snag jumped up and down in rage, slashing wildly at the air with his greatsword, sending plumes of water flying from the surrounding sea: "You all just wait! Goss! Jinbe! This isn't over! Not over!!"

After venting his anger, Snag looked at the gradually calming sea, the layers of white foam seeming to mock his incompetence.

"Huff... huff..."

Snag was breathing heavily, and his reason was gradually returning.

He knew very well that venting his anger on Jinbe was pointless; that fatso dared to pretend to be deaf and dumb because he had a firm grasp on the current situation.

The most important thing now is not to settle scores with Jinbe, but to save your own life.

Goss ran away.

This is no longer a simple dereliction of duty; the Kingdom of Nations never allows anyone to leave.

If his mother finds out about this herself, Snag will definitely have his lifespan drained and turned into dessert.

"This is the only way..."

Snag's hands trembled as he pulled a golden Den Den Mushi decorated with ornate candy patterns from his pocket.

This is the highest-level access route directly to the Queen of Whole Cake Island.

He swallowed hard, his finger hovering over the dial key, his heart pounding like a drum.

Making this phone call could mean either a chance for redemption or a death sentence.

"Brubrubrub..."

"Brubrubrub..."

The dull ringing of the Den Den Mushi echoed across the silent sea, each ring like a hammer blow to Snag's nerves.

Click. The call connected.

The Den Den Mushi's eyes instantly sharpened and turned crazed, a chilling smile spreading across its lips as it emitted the voice that struck fear into the entire New World:

"Mama mama... Snag? How did it go? Did you bring that lazy brat back?"

In the background, you can hear the sound of someone chewing sweets; the woman seems to be in a good mood.

"Mom!! Something terrible has happened!!"

Snag suddenly knelt on the deck and roared at the Den Den Mushi with all his might, his voice filled with seven parts fear and three parts feigned loyalty:

"Goss... that bastard Goss betrayed you!!!"

"Um……?"

The chewing sounds on the other end of the phone abruptly stopped.

The air seemed to freeze instantly, and a terrifying sense of oppression traveled through the radio waves.
