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

How could the messenger run away in a panic? It was because Greta was dedicated to her job and was eager to deliver the message to Portcas D. Ace!

So Greta used her racial talent to kill two passing newsbirds, then pinched their necks and stared at them for a long time, muttering: "Huh? Portcas didn't subscribe to your newspaper. You haven’t sent him a newspaper, so you don’t know where he is?”

The newsbirds nodded desperately. Greta thought thoughtfully and let go of her hand: "So, do you know where the red-haired pirates are? You should have seen the Yonko even if you didn't subscribe to the newspaper."

Then she really followed the news bird's guidance and found the giant ship flying the pirate flag.

"Boss, we found a small boat ahead! The little girl on the boat flew up!!!"

"And it's flying towards us - Hey, don't be stunned, get ready to draw your sword!!!"

"She's on board! Everyone on alert!!!"

"Yonko" Shanks, wearing a black cloak, a white shirt, and short red hair, stood still. He looked with interest at the girl who put away her bow and arrow and landed easily from the air: "Although I have read the intelligence But I didn’t expect ‘Butcher Bird’ to be so young. Little bird, why did you come to me?”

Greta first waved her hands at the two newsbirds hovering in the sky, watched them fly away, and then looked straight at Shanks, the man with curly brown hair behind her.

"I'm sorry to disturb you all of a sudden. I'm Greta the Luck Singer - a messenger," she emphasized again, continuing to stare at Jesus and said, "I came here this time because I heard that the world's number one sniper With the red-haired pirates in my hands, I want to see the gap between me and the strongest in the world."

I said it in one breath! She silently clenched her fists in her heart. Although red-haired Shanks' tone was very kind, and Greta could not feel any malice from him, the looks in the eyes of the group of strong men behind him were too terrifying! Although she works part-time as a bounty hunter, she doesn’t want to catch the “Four Emperors”’s men casually!

Jesus Bu, who was suddenly called, scratched the back of his head, with a cheerful smile on his face: "Ah hahaha, I was praised by a little girl, oh, I feel a little shy when I think about it."

"——I'm guessing he's younger than your son!!! Uncle stinky, hurry up and put away your slutty silly smile!!!"

"Shut up, you guys, you are jealous. You are definitely jealous that my reputation has spread far and wide!!!"

"You two stop it!!!"

Greta was a little confused. She stood aside at a loss and watched Jesus Bu fight with a fat pirate. Another gray-haired man standing next to Shanks yelled at them, Then Jesus Bu and the fat pirate stopped, glared at each other angrily and turned away.

"Oh, little girl, your name is Greta, right?"

Seeing her nodding, Jesus touched his nose and glanced at the black crossbow/arrow in her hand: "You want to compete with me in sniping? Use your bow and arrow? But let me declare in advance that my weapon is a gun///armor. .”

"Well, I've also been taught how to use revolving guns," Greta said, looking at the sniper rifle behind Jesus' cloth with an envious look, "I've also taken the gun-making course as an elective. , I could have been awarded the Long Gun this year, alas."

"——Although I don't understand it at all, you want your own gun, right?"

Jesus took off the sniper rifle from his back and put it on his shoulder. He lowered his head slightly and looked at the girl. "However, I won't let you go just because you are a cute girl. You understand what it means to challenge a sniper, right?" ?"

The duel between snipers is, of course, a comparison of sniper abilities.

According to Jesus Bu's suggestion, Greta drove her own boat and followed the red-haired pirates to a nearby uninhabited island. Shanks was very interested in their contest, and followed him with a laugh despite the obstruction of Vice Captain Ben Beckman.

"Let me bear witness! I am very fair, Jesus Bu, don't be lenient."

Jesus gave his unreliable captain a big eye roll and wiped the nozzle of the sniper rifle. Shanks seemed not to notice the crew's dislike of him and leaned over to take a look: "Oh! You actually have to use a sniper rifle. , it’s so rare!”

"Because my bow/crossbow is a super long-range attack weapon, Mr. Jesus also needs to use a weapon that can suppress the enemy from a long distance," Greta, who was adjusting the bow string on the side, added, "Although I told the newspaper I am very interested in Mr. Jesus' ability to defeat ten thousand naval forces with just a handful of flintlocks, but in the formal comparison, I really hope to be treated fairly!"

"That's not right!!! Although I'm strong, I'm not that scary! The ability to suppress 10,000 marines is already a monster, right?! Greta, stop reading the gossip newspapers!!!"

"Oh, it turns out to be a fake?!"

"Don't show that disappointed expression, it's a bit hurtful?!"

"Hahahaha! It's really interesting!"

"Since you're here, let's do a favor." Jesus Bu grabbed Shanks and stuffed two boards into him. "Take it, put it somewhere casually, and then send us a signal." , Greta and I will launch snipers here at the same time."

Shanks looked at the nail-sized board in the center of his palm, and then at the two snipers who were ready, "Hey, are you serious?! Is this thing really as big as your bullets?!"

"I can control the size of the arrow that shoots, so don't worry!" Greta raised the bow/crossbow in her hand. Her combative spirit had been aroused, and every cell in her body was yelling for her to hurry up. Let’s start a fight, “So it’s made according to Mr. Jesus Bu’s bullet size, don’t worry!”

"So I said I don't understand what you snipers are thinking, forget it."

Shanks muttered and went to hide the planks, and the members of the red-haired pirates also got off the ship in twos and threes, whispering around Greta and Jesus from a distance.

"Why do I feel like I'm bullying a kid? I've only been out for a few years. I'm going to have to fight against the old man Jesus Bu. No matter how I think about it, I can't live with my conscience."

"Idiot! She came to the door first! And we didn't do anything! Isn't this a peaceful sparring session!"

"But the weapons she used were bows and arrows, which are very different from those of women. Isn't this very unfair?"

"But she is used to using bows and arrows. She might not be used to the sudden change of guns, and she also agreed."

Greta couldn't help turning her head and sincerely asked the only normal person she saw for the time being: "Excuse me, Mr. Vice Captain, is it really okay for them to be like this? Will they not be bullied by the navy or other pirates? ?”

Ben Beckman understood the suspicion and worry in the girl's eyes, was silent for a moment, and silently lit a cigarette for himself: "Alas."

Greta: Got it, no wonder the vice-captain’s hair is gray. It was a ship full of unreliable people who persecuted her.

"You have worked hard."

"Well, that's right," the vice-captain, who was holding a cigarette, slowly blew out a smoke ring and said calmly, "But this is also the interesting thing about sailing - you never know what you will encounter and what your companions will be like. Yes, what kind of scenery is it at the end?"

After listening to his words, Greta showed a thoughtful expression: "I always feel like I have heard this sentence somewhere."

But she had no time to think, because there was a loud bang deep in the forest, and then red smoke rose above the canopy.

The black bowstring was unfolded, the sniper rifle was loaded, and the lightning-fast arrowheads and bullets whizzed through the leaves, branches, and breeze at the same time, and both hit the wooden board that Shanks had nailed to the tree trunk.
