[One Piece/Arknights] For Whom the Ode Tolls?

"I'm sorry," Greta said dryly, lowering her head, "I don't know how to be sorry."

"Huh? What are you apologizing for? It's not you who killed Sabo."

Luffy glanced at her strangely and continued to squat down and pull the grass on the ground. "It was the Celestial Dragons who killed Sabo, not you."

"Yeah," Greta responded weakly, trying to change the subject: "Ah, by the way, Luffy-kun, you will also go to sea in the future, right?"

Then she picked some interesting experiences of beating pirates while out at sea and chatted with Luffy. Luffy was also very considerate and listened with interest. Then, after hearing that Greta went to find Moonlight Moria in the Shichibukai but failed, When he was about to continue sailing to find the red-haired pirate and challenge Jesus Bu, his eyes suddenly lit up and he gave her a thumbs up.

"Hahahaha! Gray, your aim is really good! I have decided, when I go to sea in the future, you can come to my ship and be a sniper!"

"Hey!!! No!!! And I'm the messenger!!!"

Luffy seemed to have not heard her excuse and continued talking enthusiastically, "Then you can be my messenger, that's fine! I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King! Come to my ship! Let's Let’s go find the legendary onepiece together——”

"Wait a minute," Greta grabbed him and stared at his face with stern eyes, "You said - you want to go find OnePice!? Go to Rafdru's place?!"

"That's right! In order to become the Pirate King, you must first find the onepiece left by Roger!"

Greta hesitated for a long time, then whispered: "I, I also want to find Onepiece"

"What did you say? The voice was too low to hear."

"I said! I also want to find Onepiece!" Greta closed her eyes and said loudly as if she was risking her life. "Because, I can't find the way back to my hometown, so I thought about what Laf Drew said Maybe there is a secret to guide me back, don't you think this reason is a bit silly?"

Then she was hammered on the back by Luffy with his rubber fist.

"It's indeed stupid! But it's not your goal, it's your attitude! What's so stupid about pursuing your dreams, but it's stupid to doubt your dreams."

Greta quickly took off her coat, smoothed the wrinkles on her back and put it on again. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Well! You're right, I won't give up so easily."

"That's right!!! What, do you want to be my companion!!!"

The girl with short black curly hair shook her head, and then nodded. Her eyes, which were shining like honey in the sun, were full of smiles and fighting spirit.

"It's too early to say this now! After you become famous in the sea and become a reserve member of the future Pirate King, I will consider being your messenger and spread your adventure stories to every corner. Come on, Luffy-kun."

The boy laughed loudly after hearing her words, jumped up from the ground, and raised his hands high: "Okay!!! Just wait!!! Ah, you can also help me bring a message to Ace!!!"

Greta smiled and looked at him with his hands on his hips, then took a deep breath and shouted loudly to the sky.

"I!!! I will definitely become a pirate!!! Ace - just wait, I will definitely defeat you when we meet again on the sea!!!"

"What stupid things are you saying again!!!"

The whistling iron fist of love passed by Greta's giant black crossbow, and was forced to deviate from the direction and hit the tree trunk next to Luffy. A large pitiful hole instantly appeared in the trunk, and Greta was alert. He pulled back the bow string and stared closely at the old man in navy uniform in front of him: "Who are you?!"

Although she was very reluctant to conflict with the navy here, when it came to Luffy, this was one of the future captain reserves she identified. After thinking for a moment, Greta decided to take action: "Luffy-kun, leave quickly——"

"Ah, it's grandpa."

"Eh?"

"What, it turns out to be the 'Butcher Bird'." After the navy saw her costume clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief and retracted his fist. "I thought it was a pirate from somewhere who wanted to abduct my grandson. I am Garp." , you are quite a strong little girl! No wonder you have been worried about by Qing Pheasant for so long. How about joining my grandson as a navy, the pay will be good."

"Um, thank you for the compliment?" Since we are acquaintances, there is no need to fight. Greta folded the bow and arrow and put it back into her backpack, and said hesitantly, "But, I still don't want to be a navy."

"I don't want to be a marine, I want to be a man who becomes the Pirate King!!!"

"Shut up, you bastard!!! Grandpa didn't raise you like this just to make you become that kind of bad guy!!!"

Garp shouted angrily and punched Luffy's head. Greta's pupils were shocked as he saw a large dent in his head, and then bounced back to its original position, leaving only a patch of red on his forehead: "No. !!!”

“This matter is not negotiable!!!”

Greta watched blankly as the grandfather and grandson fought back and forth (referring to Luffy's rubber body rebounding all Garp's attacks), and couldn't help but whisper in a low voice: "Wait, wait a minute, you two."

However, Garp and Luffy were fighting vigorously, and no one paid any attention to Greta. She had to pick up her bag and shouted to them: "I'm leaving!!! Goodbye, Luffy-kun, and Mr. Karp, I will send a message to you next time I see Portcas."

"Oh!!! OK!!! Thank you Gray!!!"

"What, you've seen Ace?!" Garp grabbed his grandson's hand, threw it aside in disgust, and then turned towards Greta.

"Gray said she was a messenger. She met Ace when she was roaming, and Ace asked her to send me a message!"

"Why doesn't that brat let her send me a message?" Garp muttered a few words, with a serious look on his face: "Butcher Bird, help me tell Ace, too, about the World Government's plan to make him become the Seventh King. Wu Hai’s matter.”

Greta was stunned for a moment, King Shichibukai? Isn't that what Luo told her before, a lackey of the World Government?

She was so surprised that she even forgot to correct what Garp called her: "Am I the Shichibukai under the King as I understand him?"

Garp nodded, "Aoji has told you, the current Shichibukai, 'Hawkeye' Joracor Mihawk, 'King of the Desert' Sand Crocodile, 'Snake' Boya Hancock, Jinbei the Knight, Donquixote Doflamingo Tenyasha, Moria the Moonlight, the last position is vacant, Ace that boy comes from fame and strength That’s enough.”

"Ace won't become the Shichibukai." Luffy heard some information about the Shichibukai from Greta. He curled his lips and muttered, "How could he be willing to go to something like that?" do it."

"You kid, give me some time to calm down!!!"

After giving his troubled grandson another hard punch, Garp continued to say to Greta: "Actually, there are other opinions within the Navy. Aokiji actually supports you more, Kizaru remains neutral, Akainu tut, that guy If you don’t like anyone, you can ignore him.”

Greta, who had eaten a melon on her own head, once again had pupil shock: "Eh??? Me??? Why???"

"I am a free bounty hunter. I have been in the industry for more than four years. The total value of the guys I have caught is hundreds of millions of beli. Moreover, the pirates I have captured are all extremely vicious bastards who specialize in looting, burning and killing civilians. I have a good relationship with the navy. Yes, I don’t have any strange behaviors or hobbies. You are almost the best choice we can find. However, compared to Ace, you lack the power of your own, so you may not be able to suppress it very well. // Those guys who are ready to make a move.”

As Garp spoke, he began to sigh again, "Oh, so why don't you consider becoming a navy? Being a navy will not only give you good pay, but you can also better protect civilians. The two brats in my family are used to going crazy. Day by day They are clamoring to be pirates, I think a pirate should throw them into the sea water to soak their brains——"

"No, no, I don't. I'm just an ordinary messenger. I don't have any thoughts in that regard." Greta quickly interrupted his ramblings, unfolded her bowstring as if running away, and flew into the air. "I have other things to do. Let’s get going first! Goodbye Luffy-kun! Goodbye Mr. Garp! I will convey your words to Portcas!”

"Oh - you can actually fly! That's so cool! Let's fly next time too!!!"

"Why did you fly away - Luffy, come back here!!! Teach me the basic Sixth Marine Style quickly, or I will beat you today!!!"
