One Piece: Honey Badger Speedruns the World

On the sea, patrol vessel of branch G-5.

In the fog less than two nautical miles from the Narwhal.

A dark gray warship bearing a skull and hourglass emblem resembled a giant shark lurking in the night, its jaws firmly clamped on its prey.

"Report!"

A marine lowered his night-vision binoculars and excitedly reported to his superior, "Target confirmed! It's the Narwhal from the Honey Badger Pirates! They just escaped Big Mom's territorial waters and stumbled into our defense zone like headless flies!"

"They're finally out...?"

At the bow, Smoker slowly turned around. He had short silver hair, two cigars dangling from his mouth, and through the swirling smoke, his sharp eyes revealed a ruthless and inhuman cruelty.

I've had enough of wandering around like an idiot on the borderline of the aunties these past two days.

Smoker exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes fierce: the frustrating days of watching pirates roam freely inside without being caught were finally over.

He picked up the Den Den Mushi: "Mr. Vergo, the man has been found. The arrest is underway."

"Roger that." Vergo's calm voice came from the other end of the phone. "That newcomer named Goss is no ordinary person. Don't underestimate him, Smoker."

"receive."

Smoker hung up the phone.

"All ships, listen to my command!"

Smoker waved his hand: "Hard to port! Move closer! Fire!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Several jet-black shells whistled through the sky, heading straight for the Narwhal.

……

Narwhal

"Captain! The navy is here!!"

Before Soton's roar had even faded, Goss and Mia had already rushed onto the deck.

Seeing the incoming cannonballs, Mia, who had just changed her clothes, sharpened her eyes and instantly entered battle mode.

"Brother, leave it to me!"

With a stomp of her foot, she leaped to the top of the mast like a ghost.

"One-Sword Style: Full Moon!!"

Whoosh! The two incoming shells were neatly sliced ​​in half in mid-air and fell into the sea, creating huge splashes.

Another shell was aimed straight at the bow of the ship, and Goss didn't even turn his head.

Is this angle... meant to swerve my rudder?

*Zzz!* A blue arc of electricity shot from his fingertip, striking the cannonball precisely.

Boom! The shell exploded prematurely in mid-air, the flames illuminating Goss's face.

In that split second, Goss's Observation Haki acted like a sophisticated radar, instantly locking onto the rapidly spinning projectile and predicting its trajectory.

At the same time, he did not simply release electricity, but instead wrapped Armament Haki around the lightning generated at his fingertips.

The pitch-black aura acted like a high-pressure gun barrel, forcibly compressing and condensing the originally violent and easily dispersed natural lightning into a solid electromagnetic needle that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Use visual coloration for guidance, and use military coloration for shaping.

This is no longer a simple release of energy, but a powerful thunderbolt with physical penetrating force and extreme energy.

"Tch...you do have some skill."

The warships have approached to the point of boarding action.

Smoker looked at the pirate ship that showed no signs of slowing down, and instantly his body transformed into an elemental form, his lower body becoming a billowing smoke jet.

Ordinary artillery fire is indeed ineffective against pirates of this caliber. Since that's the case...

"Don't even think about running!!"

Whoosh—! Smoker soared into the air like a rocket, leaping across dozens of meters of sea surface and landing heavily on the deck of the Narwhal!

"That is..."

Following closely behind was a female swordsman wearing red-rimmed glasses and wielding the famous sword "Shigure".

"Lieutenant General Smoker! Wait for me!"

Tashigi used Moonwalk to jump over unsteadily, but slipped when she landed.

*Thud.* She landed face down on the deck, her glasses flying several meters away.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Tashigi groped around on the ground, "My glasses...where are my glasses...?"

Bucky, hiding inside the barrel, saw this scene through the crack and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Are you kidding me?! That smoker is one thing, but is this woman even there to be funny? Is this the G-5's navy?

But then Bucky saw the white smoke rising from Smoker's body, and his face turned deathly pale.

Wait… that’s a Logia type?! Damn it! Why am I so unlucky?! I’ve escaped one danger only to fall into another, why do I always run into these monsters?! Please don’t find me… please don’t find me…

Smoker's forehead veins bulged. He took a deep breath, forcibly ignoring his subordinate's embarrassing performance, and fixed his gaze on Goss.

He slammed his ten-handed weapon down on the ground, his wolf-like eyes gleaming with unwavering determination: "Goss... your journey ends here."

Goss looked at the man in front of him who was covered in smoke and gently patted the dust off his clothes.

Blue arcs of electricity began to pulsate violently at his fingertips.

A Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit? Troublesome ability. But...

Goss's lips curled into an arrogant smile: "Want to catch me? Then let's see if your smoke can trap my thunder."

This was a fierce encounter that broke out in the waters surrounding the Kingdom of Wan.

Fugitives and hunters, pirates and navy, lightning and smoke.

On the turbulent sea, accompanied by the thunderous roar and the clash of Armament Haki, the battle began.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

Blue arcs of electricity danced wildly at Goss's fingertips, emitting sharp sounds that were particularly glaring in the pitch-black night.

Opposite him, the man known as the "White Hunter" had his lower body transformed into billowing smoke, blending into the surrounding sea fog.

Two thick cigars glowed and dimmed in his mouth, emitting a pungent tobacco smell.

Smoker did not rush to attack.

As the vicious dog of the Navy's G-5 branch, he possessed a beast-like instinct.

The man before him, though only worth 300 million, exuded a dangerous aura that emanated from his very bones, forcing him to be cautious.

"Goss..."

Smoker exhaled a puff of smoke, gripped the jitte with its tip inlaid with seastone, and said in a hoarse, low voice:

"Now that we've been caught by the G-5, we can forget about leaving safely."

"Is this how the Navy opens its doors?"

Goss tilted his head slightly, his eyes fixed on him, as if scanning Smoker's entire body for bioelectrical signals:

"Enough with the nonsense, you smoker."

Before he could finish speaking, Goss's figure vanished.

"Shave - Lightning Flash!"

Instead of using the traditional six techniques, it utilizes electric current to instantly stimulate the nerves in the legs, unleashing a nerve reflex speed that surpasses the limits of the human body!

Only a charred afterimage remained on the deck.

The next second, Goss was already above Smoker's head, raising his right leg high—and it was no ordinary kick.

Buzz—Whoosh!

The dazzling blue lightning exploded instantly, and deep within the core of that lightning, a layer of pitch-black Armament Haki, like armor, quickly covered his entire calf, forcibly compressing the raging lightning into this attack.

The black aura intertwined with the blue lightning, creating a heart-stopping explosion in the air, like an obsidian battle axe wrapped in lightning, slashing down with immense force!

"Thunder Axe!!"

boom--!!

The kick landed squarely on Smoker's shoulder.

however--

Swish!

Just as the battle axe, crackling with domineering power and lightning, was about to touch Smoker's coat, Smoker's shoulder seemed to come to life, instantly disintegrating into countless white smoke particles that scattered in all directions!

Goss's kick only struck a cloud of empty smoke, slamming it hard onto the deck and shattering the thick wooden planks.

"Missed it?"

Goss used the reaction force to flip and land in mid-air, his expression instantly turning serious.

He could see it clearly; it wasn't that Armament Haki was ineffective, but rather that the opponent had actively elementalized and moved away from the physical entity a millisecond before his attack landed, turning that area into a vacuum zone where no force could be applied.

"Is this how Logia-type fighters fight...?"

Goss watched the thick white smoke rapidly spreading and instantly obscuring his vision, a cold smile playing on his lips:

"Did you think I couldn't catch you by dissolving yourself into a cloud of smoke?"

In this smoky realm where visibility was virtually zero, the naked eye was completely useless. Everywhere was the scent of Smokers, everywhere was flowing smoke and dust.

But Goss slowly closed his single eye.

hum-

An invisible Observation Haki instantly spread out from him like an invisible electromagnetic radar network, reaching all directions.

In his perceived world, the chaotic white smoke around him was gradually filtered out.

Deep within that ethereal cloud of smoke, an extremely faint yet real life magnetic field was moving at high speed, preparing to launch a surprise attack from a blind spot.

"I've found you."

Goss suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning, fixing on a patch of air to his left rear:

"The real body is there!!"

Goss's eyes narrowed, and he tried to create some distance.

"Too slow!!"

Smoker's roar came from the smoke.

The smoke in the air expanded instantly, as if it were alive, transforming into a giant white fist that slammed down on Goss in mid-air.

"White Fist!!"

This punch carried terrifying kinetic energy propelled by jet propulsion, and its speed was astonishing.

There is no way to avoid it.

Goss crossed his arms in front of his chest, instantly covering them with a layer of lightning-infused armor color.

boom! !

The enormous impact sent Goss flying like a cannonball, crashing into the cabin and creating a deep crater.

"cough……"

Goss slid out of the dust and dusted off his trench coat. He looked a bit disheveled.

"This is the nature system...this is elementalization."

He looked at Smoker, who had reformed into human form in the distance:

"interesting."

……

The other side of the deck.

Unlike the thunder and lightning on Goss's side, the battle here was far more dangerous, a life-or-death struggle between swordsmen.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

The three famous swords collided at high speed in the air, producing a crisp ringing sound.

Tashigi gripped "Shigure" tightly with both hands, her forehead covered in sweat.

She had initially underestimated this pirate girl who looked even younger than herself, but after only three rounds of fighting, she felt immense pressure.

Fast. Too fast.

And... it's too heavy!

Despite Mia's slender figure, every slash she made felt like it carried immense force, causing Tashigi's hands to go numb and her glasses to nearly slip off.

"What's wrong, Navy Sister?"

Mia held the knife in one hand, her posture relaxed and carefree, and she even had the leisure to adjust her breathing.

Having fought against monsters of the likes of Lady Amand in the Land of Treasures, and having honed her dual-color Haki on the brink of death, her current strength has undergone a qualitative leap.

In Mia's eyes, Tashigi's swordsmanship was standard and upright, as perfect as a textbook, but precisely because of this... it was full of flaws.

"Your sword is too hesitant."

Mia's eyes suddenly turned cold, and her original girl-next-door charm vanished, replaced by a chilling murderous aura.

That's the kind of spirit only a swordsman who's truly risking his life possesses.

"What do you take this sword for? A scepter of justice? Or just a decorative ornament?"

Swish!

Mia flashed and instantly cut into Tashigi's inner circle.

"On this vast sea, swords... are used to kill!"

"One-Sword Style: Crescent Moon!!"

A sharp arc of light shot upwards from below, heading straight for Tashigi's throat!

"What?!"

Tashigi's pupils contracted sharply, and the fear of death instantly enveloped her. She had no time to block and could only instinctively lean back.

scoff!

The sharp blade grazed her nose, severing a few strands of her black hair and even leaving a shallow bloodstain on her fair neck.

Tashigi rolled around on the deck several times in a disheveled state before finally regaining her balance. She was panting heavily, her face as pale as paper.

For a brief moment just now... she really felt like she was going to die.

"Are you scared already?"

Mia flicked the blood off her blade, approaching step by step, her voice icy:

"If this is all the awareness you have, then go die. Don't block my and my brother's way."

"I……"

Tashigi gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressing the fear in her heart. She adjusted her glasses, and a stubborn flame rekindled in her eyes:

"How could I possibly lose to a villain! I swore to reclaim all the legendary swords that were stolen by evil people!"

"Since that's the case, then I'll just chop you up like that!"

"One-Sword Style: Shigure no Kiri!!"

Tashigi roared, and the "Shigure" in her hand transformed into a sky full of sword shadows, like an endless autumn rain, enveloping Mia.

……

A wooden barrel in the corner of the deck.

Boom!! Crack!!

A slash that was deflected struck the railing next to the barrel, shattering the solid wood railing into pieces.

Immediately afterwards, a stray arc of electricity struck the wooden barrel lid, scalding the wood black.

"Waaaaah..."

Bucky, huddled inside the bucket, was biting his handkerchief, tears and snot streaming down his face, screaming internally:

Help!! What kind of monsters are these?!

That crazy woman with the knife is that strong?! That four-eyed female navy woman isn't to be trifled with either! And over there... that smoker and Goss are practically demons!!

Bucky felt like a hamster that had stumbled into a Tyrannosaurus Rex battlefield.

He doesn't even have the courage to stick his head out, let alone launch a sneak attack.

No... I can't go out... Going out means death...

Hold on! Buggy! You're a true pirate! At times like these... you have to be patient! Surviving is victory! Let them both weaken each other!

……

The main battlefield.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The center of the deck had become a forbidden zone intertwined with lightning and smoke.

Smoker grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.

The newcomer in front of him was far more difficult than he had imagined.

Although Goss isn't very skilled at using Armament Haki, his Armament Haki always carries lightning!

Every time I fought him, the lightning flowed into my body along with the Armament Haki, and now my body is somewhat numb.

And this guy's Observation Haki is even more outrageous.

No matter from which angle Smoker attacks, even if he turns his body into mist to the extreme and attacks from behind, Goss can react half a second in advance.

and……

"Sizzle..."

Whenever Smoker attempts to envelop Goss in smoke and strangle him, a high-voltage electrostatic field erupts from Goss's body.

Smoke is particulate matter.

Under the influence of a high-voltage electric field, these smoke particles are forcibly ionized and adsorbed, making it impossible for them to get close!

"Damn brat... are you inhaling my cigarette like it's ash?!"

Smoker was furious, and his patience finally ran out.

"Since we can't catch you, we'll destroy this ship too!!"

Smoker abruptly shoved his 10 hands back behind his back, then suddenly spread them out to the sides, his body undergoing an astonishing transformation.

Large amounts of white smoke erupted from his body, no longer an attack, but rapidly spreading and enveloping the entire deck in the blink of an eye, obscuring vision and even choking people to breathe.

"White Man!!"

The smoke transformed into countless white pythons, tightly binding the entire "Narwhal".

Meanwhile, Smoker's true form, hidden in the thick smoke, approached Goss like a ghost.

"In here, let's see where you run!"

Smoker sneered, and his ten-handed weapon silently stabbed out, heading straight for Goss's heart.

The top of this jitte is inlaid with sea stone.

Just one touch is enough to spell a death sentence on this sea teeming with ability users!

The tips of the ten hands were less than ten centimeters from Goss's chest.

Goss could even sense the unique energy emanating from Seastone that weakened ability users.

however.

At this critical moment.

Goss's one eye, which had been calm all along, suddenly opened wide, and the image of Jitte was reflected in its pupil.

He didn't hide.

Instead, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed directly at the ten-handed sword that was thrusting at him!

"court death!!"

Smoker was overjoyed. He dared to grab a Seastone weapon with his bare hands? Had this kid gone mad?

Om-! !

Just as Goss's palm was about to touch the ten-handed metal shaft, a terrifying magnetic field suddenly erupted!

That jitte is made of metal.

Under the repulsive force of the super-strong magnetic field, Smoker felt as if the weapon in his hand had suddenly turned into a lively and writhing dragon, and a huge reaction force suddenly came!

"What?!"

Smoker's expression changed drastically, his tiger's mouth split open, and the ten hands in his hand were actually flung away by that invisible repulsive force!

Clang!

The Sea Stone Ten Hands spun and flew out, embedding themselves deeply into the mast high above.

"Magnetic force?!" Smoker exclaimed.

"Didn't you study physics well, Lieutenant General Smoker?"

Goss stood in the center of the thick smoke, surrounded by a blue-purple electromagnetic field that repelled all the smoke more than three meters away.

He looked at Smoker, whose hands were now empty, and a victorious grin spread across his face.

"Without that annoying stone stick... you're just a big cloud of smoke now."

Goss slowly raised his right hand, palm facing up.

This time, it wasn't ordinary lightning.

Countless blue arcs of electricity compressed and collapsed in his palm, and the surrounding air distorted due to the high temperature, emitting a teeth-grinding buzzing sound.

Although Observation Haki can see him and Armament Haki can catch him, his speed is still not enough to completely suppress Smoker.

Very few attacks actually hit him effectively.

"Since point-to-point attacks can't catch your slippery smoke..."

Goss's eyes turned cold as he watched the white smoke gathering again to launch a sneak attack, and he suddenly thrust his palm upwards:

"Then let's fill this entire space!!"

Om-! ! !

This time, the lightning in Goss's palm was no longer radiating, but rather presented a dense, unsettling black color.

He wrapped his high-intensity Armament Haki around the raging lightning like a high-pressure container, compressing it frantically inward!

The originally rampant hundreds of millions of volts of lightning were forcibly compressed into an extremely small singularity by Armament Haki, and the energy density instantly reached a critical value.

"Dodge? Let's see how you dodge this move."

Goss suddenly clenched his five fingers, crushing the Armament Haki shell.

"Ultra-high pressure, massive collapse!!"

boom--!!!

The lightning energy, compressed to its limit, was instantly released, triggering a chain reaction of energy collapse!

This was no longer a straight beam of light, but a small lightning supernova that detonated in the center of the deck!

Terrifying lightning, accompanied by extremely high-temperature lightning, spread wildly and indiscriminately outwards in a spherical shape centered on Goss!

Speed? That's the speed of lightning, the speed of light, which is beyond the human nervous system's ability to process!

Range? The entire deck is under attack!

"What?!"

Smoker, hidden in the smoke, didn't even have time to finish the thought of terror.

Too fast! There wasn't even time for elemental transfer!

It's so dense! Every inch of the surrounding air has turned into a deadly high-temperature electric field, there's nowhere to hide!

Sizzle sizzle!!

The billowing smoke was instantly pierced by the high-voltage current shrouded in armor color, and even ionized into nothingness by the high temperature!

"Ughhhhhh!!"

A piercing scream echoed through the night sky. Smoker's previously ethereal body was forcibly blasted back into its original form, billowing black smoke and blasting a charred hole in the deck, leading straight to the lower deck!

……

Second-floor window of the cabin.

Reiju, wrapped in her newly changed shirt, stood behind the gap in the curtains, staring in disbelief at the scene unfolding on the deck.

"That's... Vice Admiral Smoker from the Navy branch?"

As a war expert, Reiju naturally recognized this famous Logia-type Devil Fruit user. For those who didn't know Armament Haki, he was practically invincible.

But at the moment.

That arrogant natural type was actually being suppressed by Goss?

Moreover, the way Goss just demonstrated the development and application of his own abilities... that reaction speed of using electromagnetic force to deflect the Seastone weapon...

This man...

Reiju looked at Goss standing in the lightning, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

He was more than just an arrogant barbarian. He possessed an extremely calm mind and terrifying combat wisdom.

Mia's earlier words, "He is a strong man worthy of trust," suddenly echoed in her mind.

Reiju blushed slightly, then shook her head vigorously.

What am I thinking! He's just a kidnapper!
