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

Luo's heart tightened, and he took a big step forward, trying to block Greta from behind him, but the girl had already started to move - the dark bow//crossbow shot out three arrows, only three arrows, But it hit Buck and Boacino accurately.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

The painful screams echoed in the air. Buck covered both sides of his knees and knelt down on the ground wailing in pain. Boacino curled up and cursed. His left hand was shot by a crossbow arrow and nailed to the ground. No matter how hard the sumo wrestler tried to dislodge the arrow, the black arrowhead did not move at all, and his screams gradually turned into begging for mercy.

"Who are you? It hurts, it hurts. Why is there someone here who can defeat me, you monster girl!!!"

"Shut up, you bastard!!!" Xia Qi, who was still lying next to him, struggled to stand up, and rushed over with support from Peking, and each of them kicked Buck in the face. "You deserve it. Who told you to bully the town?" Residents, you are also not allowed to scold Gray!!!”

Bebo also followed him and got up from the ground, holding his face in his hands: "Gray is so amazing~"

"That's right! Gray is so powerful! He hit that fat pig in one go!"

"Eh?! Yes, really!" Greta was a little flattered by the compliment, "This is just basic archery skills, although I think I won't lose to others in sniping! Are you okay?!"

The teenagers shook their heads. Greta arrived just in time, and they only suffered minor skin injuries.

"But the residents of the town are very strange," Luo said with a frown. "Their pupils look a little dilated, and they attack us without any reason, as if they are being controlled."

Greta was about to ask what was going on when she suddenly grabbed Luo's hand and jumped back hard, avoiding Buck's attack.

When they weren't paying attention, Buck actually turned his upper body into a water-like liquid and stretched forward, and shot two beams of light from his eyes.

Seeing that his sneak attack failed, Buck turned his lower body into water without saying a word. After discharging Greta's arrowhead, he left his little brother and ran away.

"stop!!!"

"Brother Luo!!! Gray!!!" Xia Qi pulled Luo who was about to catch up, "Let's go back first. The ATV that the old man drove over is over there. Let's retreat temporarily and study countermeasures. Even if Gray's arrow hits him, he can run away. That guy is very powerful. We must not reveal all our trump cards without knowing the enemy's capabilities."

After hearing his words, Greta, who was just as hot-headed as Luo and wanted to catch up and beat the drowned dog, calmed down a little. She took a deep breath, held her cheeks in until they were bulging, and finally let out a big breath: " Well, I get it."

Pekin and Bebo had already returned to the ATV to wait for them. Luo got into the car and checked Wolfe's condition, saying that he only had a mild concussion and should regain consciousness soon.

Only then did Greta know that the guys who had just attacked Luo and the others were pirates. She looked worriedly at Wolfe, who had not yet woken up, and then at Luo: "Do you want to rest for a while? Although I haven't arrived yet. The driving license age, but I also learned to drive.”

Luo shook his head, "I'm fine."

After returning home, with the idea of ​​calming down, everyone quickly took a shower and put on clean clothes. Greta and Luo took turns looking after Wolf in the living room.

The old man woke up quickly, and Greta sat next to him. After listening to Luo briefly and clearly recounting today's encounter in the town, the air seemed to be solid. Even Bebo did not dare to take a big breath, but He lowered his head to look at his paws.

"Sorry for causing you trouble."

In this atmosphere, Wolfe spoke.

Then Greta was surprised to learn that the guy who led the pirates to wreak havoc in the town was actually Wolfe's son.

As early as twenty-five years ago, Buck became a pirate. In order to monitor this guy who had a bad character since childhood, and to satisfy his dream of seeing overseas treasures, Wolf also followed him to wander the sea.

Unexpectedly, Buck not only failed to change his mind, but because he ate the drunken fruit, he gained the ability to dissolve people and even emit light from his eyes to manipulate others. He became even more cruel and greedy, and even destroyed Joy more than 20 years ago. town, causing Wolfe to move out of the town in shame and live alone on an island.

"So that's it," Luo suddenly realized, "That's why my attack just now couldn't hit him."

Greta's focus is on another point: "How can we undo the control of other people? Will the lives of the townspeople be in danger if they have been controlled by him?"

Wolfe told them in a serious tone that the ability of the "Drunken Fruit" can dissolve all things, even invisible things like the human heart. If Buck's control over the residents cannot be released within twenty-four hours, no matter what they do, they will be powerless. Damn it.

"Except when sleeping, once Buck loses consciousness, his abilities will be released, but it is not easy to make him unconscious," Wolfe said, his expression became more serious, "So, from the battle From the moment you start, you must be mentally prepared to kill him.”

Greta originally wanted to ask, isn't Buck his biological son? She would feel a little uncomfortable if she had to take away her biological son's life, but Luo grabbed her wrist and shook her head at her.

"It's almost four hours since the battle in the town. There are still twenty hours left. We have to find a way to deal with the people in the town and defeat Buck at the same time."

"You can leave the matter of sniping Buck to me," Greta said. "My racial talent has the ability to shoot at super long distances, and my dodge ability is not bad. I only need one person to restrain Buck's attention. I I’ll find a way to knock him out!”

"But even with Gray's fighting power, it's difficult for us to get through so many townspeople to find Buck!" Pekin gritted his teeth and said, "I really can't take action against everyone who takes care of me like this!"

The air became heavy again, and Greta couldn't help turning her head to look at Wolfe, but unexpectedly saw a confident smile on the old man's face.

"I thought about it, if Gray-chan can really snipe Buck, maybe this will work!!! You guys, hurry up and get ready, I will take you to my laboratory now!!!"

Compared to several other excited teenagers, Greta was very curious, but her face remained calm until she saw a huge, yellow metal boat floating quietly on the water in front of her.

"A rag picker, is this ship?"

"What a ragpicker! Call me Mr. Wolfe, the genius inventor! Yes, this is my greatest invention! The submarine 'Little Red Flower Invincible'!"

“The name is too tacky!!!”

Wolfe punched each of the brats on the head and muttered: "Shut up! Don't underestimate this guy's power!"

Greta also sat down on the seat excitedly, watching Wolf instructing Luo to start the engine. As seawater was poured into the main water tank and the propeller started roaring, a harsh sound rang out. She quickly covered her ears - her hearing was too high. Excellent people have this kind of trouble! She had heard strange noises like this in the yard from time to time before!

"Wait a minute, rag picker, is this the same sound as birdsong?"

"Yes, it is the true identity of the rumored 'swallow flying under the sea'."

Everyone suddenly realized that it was Wolfe who activated the submarine for the experiment, and the sound was amplified and reverberated in the cave and spread to the island. This is how the rumor of "swallows flying on the bottom of the sea" came about, and for some reason it was understood to mean "Feiyan Island". Hiding the treasure", he attracted the pirates headed by Buck.

The submarine plunged vertically into the sea and quickly shuttled through the deep blue sea. Greta reluctantly moved her eyes away from the strange scenery outside the porthole and looked at Wolfe who was debugging the instruments with Luo: "But, Wall Mr. Husband, where should we park the submarine? Even if we dock the ship, we still have to fight with the residents guarding the dock."

"That's right, we won't be able to save everyone if we don't go ashore and attack in the end!"

"Gray can't shoot underwater, and our fists and feet alone may not be enough to cover her when she rushes to kill Buck."

"I'm so noisy to you guys! I've thought of this problem a long time ago! My 'Little Red Flower Invincible' is made of the hardest metal in the world. Fasten your seat belts quickly. , prepare to sprint up to the surface, penetrate the land like this, and rush into Buck’s temple in one breath!!!”

"Eh!!!"

"What did you say???!!!"

“Isn’t that right? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh???”

"Are you kidding me about picking up rags?!"

"Believe me, be prepared to charge! Make big, spiral, spiral!!!"

"Wow ah ah ah ah-"

The submarine hit full power and hit the land above at an angle. Luo grabbed Greta's arm to stabilize her body and prevent her from rolling off the seat. Before she could think about the current situation, she heard the noise outside.

"What happened?!"

“They came out of nowhere!!!”

"Not good!!! Go and report it to the captain!!!"

Greta's keen eyes locked on a strong man running out with a knife in a hurry. She glanced at Luo: "I'm going to find a place to snipe Buck. Be careful!"

Luo sneered, straightened the spotted hat on his head, raised his leg and kicked away the pirate who was coming towards him: "This is what we want to say! Don't get caught and sold!!!"
