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

"Greta, how do you make the judgment about 'serious injury locking blood' with your talent?"

This was the question Trafalgar Law asked her before leaving for the battlefield.

"Severe injury should mean that you were attacked and seriously injured to the point that you were unable to move and your life was in danger, right?" Greta recalled Sage's situation at that time and said uncertainly, "Mr. Marco said that Sage was The situation is already hopeless, and he will die from excessive bleeding and shock in a few minutes at most. Why do you suddenly ask about my talent?"

"Does it lie with you to determine whether to lock the blood?"

Greta nodded. "That should be true. At that time, all I thought about was 'I want to save Sachi and I can't let him die.'"

"Listen, Gray," Luo looked at her with a solemn expression, "This is intuition and advice from a doctor - your talent may be able to change the situation of the battle. Blood lock is your trump card, you have to learn to judge what Have you tried its effectiveness duration, number of times, effects after use, and the interval between the next time it takes effect?”

"No, because there is only one chance of blood locking that I can provide." When Sachi was recovering from his injury, because she was too worried, she quietly used her talent again on the captain of the Fourth Division in the hospital bed, but this time it only restored blood. The effect occurred, thus confirming that there is only one chance to lock the blood. "But after the blood lock is over, the recovery speed will suddenly increase for an approximate duration, about thirty seconds?"

"I understand." The Death Surgeon said, "As the interval between effects is not yet clear, I suggest you keep this trump card until Whitebeard suffers a frontal attack from an admiral or even a marshal. Consider it. To the extent that the navy is wary of Whitebeard, once he is injured, they will definitely find the right opportunity to attack Whitebeard in order to quickly expand his wounds and gain the advantage between us and the enemy. At that time, [Loving Protection] can instantly reverse the situation situation."

Her clever friend always guessed right.

So when Whitebeard and Akainu fought, and Akainu took advantage of Whitebeard's open wound and punched him in the abdomen, Greta took action.

This time, the Shrike landed squarely between Whitebeard and Akainu.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh--!!!"

Whitebeard, who was supposed to be seriously injured and fell to the ground, roared and lifted up the Kumokiri with a roar, slashed at Akainu with his sword, and swung a shock wave with his other hand, knocking down Huang who kicked Greta from the side. Ape, Greta pointed the bow//crossbow at the more seriously injured Akainu. The shrike's petite body swayed slightly due to the violent vibrations in the air, but her hand that tightened the bowstring remained steady.

[I will follow]: The attack distance is greatly shortened, causing real damage to the enemy.

No one knows how many times she plucked the bowstring. There is only one clear fact - the densely packed arrows like dim stars woven into an airtight net, fell, and connected into a beam of light. Amidst the eyes-splitting roars of the marines, it pierced Akainu's chest.

Everything happened in an instant, and the shrike hunted silently. Even with experience and instinct, Sakaski could only move a little bit to ensure that what she penetrated was not her own heart.

And the initiator of all this was just a young woman that he had never looked at directly. Judging from her face, she could even be said to be a little girl.

Before this war, she didn't even have her own independent bounty order.

"——Hit, hit that Akainu!!!"

"And it's from the front!!! That bastard Akainu will never be able to stand up again. He really deserves it!!!"

"Gray-chan!!! That's amazing!!! You are worthy of being our Gray-chan!!!"

"There's no problem with Dad!!! Kids, let's keep charging!!! We're just generals, don't be afraid!!! Kill the rest of the navy and save Ace!!!"

"——General Sakaski!!!"

Lieutenant General Ghost Spider ignored Marco who was handcuffed by the Sea Tower Stone in front of him. He hurriedly wanted to go over to support Akainu. Instead, he was stabbed several times by Sachi below when he was not paying attention. The captain of the Fourth Division snatched it away by the way. The key on the navy immediately liberated the captain of the first team.

"It's really scary," Kizaru Porusalino, who stood up from the rubble and re-condensed into a ball of light not far from White Beard, murmured, finally putting away his exaggerated expression, "Look It’s time to adjust the combat objectives—navalies, stop aiming at Whitebeard and kill his little birds first.”

Marco, who was catching up, kicked him from behind without hesitation: "Why are you allowed to attack Gray so casually?"

Warring States, who was on the execution platform, also turned his attention to the little bird on Whitebeard's shoulder. He immediately thought that after the vortex spider injured Whitebeard, Whitebeard's injury was not as serious as it seemed, and gave the same order.

"All the troops obey the order!!! Starting now, the battle plan is revised. The top priority targets are Greta the Butcher Bird and Straw Hat Luffy!!! We can't let them get in the way here anymore!!!"

Luffy, who received Ivankov's stimulating hormones and quickly regained his energy, punched the surrounding marines away: "It's so noisy, uncle!!! Gray is my future crew member, you are not allowed to hurt her!!!"

Greta, who was standing on Whitebeard's shoulders and was happily using long-range AOE, had a stiff expression for a moment: "No, no, no, dad, please listen to my explanation. I didn't join the Straw Hat Pirates. I really didn't!!! I'm even with Luffy and his fleet." There’s no logo brooch!!!”

"Gula la la la, that guy swore in front of me that he would be the pirate king and the man who defeated the Four Emperors, and he also wanted to take my child away. Let's just pay off the old and new grudges at once, and wait until he comes to challenge me. Pay it all back!"

"Isn't this bad!!! Luffy is really going to die, he will definitely die, right?!"

After she finished complaining, she looked at the bottom of the execution platform. The human/demon king asked an ability user to create a staircase leading to the execution platform. Luffy successfully ran up. Kizaru was kicked away by Marco when he chased him. There was also Jozi on Aokiji's side. When Lieutenant General Garp, who was guarding the passage, wanted to stop his grandson, a high wax wall appeared in front of him. By the time he punched the hole and chased after him, Luffy had already He jumped to Ace's side and took out the key from his arms.

"Straw Hat Boy!!!"

"Luffy-kun——"

"Don't be anxious," Whitebeard Edward Newgate raised his hand to stop Greta from rushing out, "If he is really the captain you choose in the future, then this is his chance to show his strength. This is the first lesson you learn to trust your captain and your teammates.”

On the execution platform, Marshal Sengoku roared and turned into a golden giant Buddha after eating the Human Fruit, Phantom Beast Species, and Giant Buddha form. Luffy used the rubber fruit to transform into a giant Balloon Man, buffering this wave of attacks.

Under the spotlight, mr3, who was ignored by them, took the opportunity to use the key to open the shackles on Fire Fist's wrist.

The shackles fell to the ground with a slight collision sound, and the sky filled with fire rushed over the cloudy sky of Marinevando. The once weak fire was now awakened by blood and will again.

"Fire Fist" Ace and his brother both landed from the high platform. When Greta raised her hand to wipe the blood and dust from her face, she realized that she was smiling.

This is the best news she has heard since Ace was arrested.

The scarred but still vibrant flame is now being transferred to everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates with some invisible connection.

Although their vitality dries up as they fight, they have no regrets. They still burn for Dad's beloved little boy.

"Ace and Luffy," she finally stopped pressing her lips and let them grin, laughing happily, "They are free!"

The Sea Overlord under Greta also showed a smile. He raised his Cong Yunqi high and motioned to his little daughter, who also liked it, to follow the path opened by her father: "Gula la la la, then that's it. Go! Go and bring your careless brother and stupid captain to me!"

The Shrike, already sprinting towards the battlefield like a meteor, glided lightly in the face of the loud gunfire, with a smile, conveying happiness and hope to every battlefield she passed by.

"Yes!!!"
