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

It's hard for anyone to imagine that things would develop in this direction.

The navy couldn't think of it, and the pirates couldn't think of it either. As time passed by the former's human sea tactics, many soldiers fell from exhaustion. Although the pirates suffered heavy casualties, they were not defeated because of the participation of the Sky Messenger.

After Whitebeard reunited with Greta and Ace, he immediately ordered the entire army to retreat, and he was responsible for breaking up the rear.

Greta was happy for less than ten seconds at being dominated by a man, and immediately threw away Ace and Luffy's arms in disgust. Although she was unhappy, she did not reject Ace's proposal and climbed up angrily. on his back.

Her hands were shaking. After the excitement supported by adrenaline, there is exhaustion and deep exhaustion.

Greta lowered her head on Ace's shoulder, trying hard to make her heavy breathing steady and steady.

More difficult battles are still waiting for them, so now, let her rest for a while

Feeling that Shrike's condition was very bad, Fire Fist turned around worriedly and asked her how she was doing. Greta then scolded her in a low voice for not looking at the road. Fortunately, Luffy rushed in front and punched the blocker. .

But it’s not time to celebrate yet. Warring States ended, and Whitebeard, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward to fight. Greta struggled to fly over to support, but she heard him roaring and giving the final captain's order.

Whitebeard has decided to say goodbye to his children here. Even if this king of the sea sacrifices himself, he still wants his children to return to the new world safely.

He said that he was a remnant of the old era and there was no ship that could carry him in the new era.

"No"

Shrike tried in vain to look back. Among the smoke and vapor, the man's back was white and as tall as the white giant icon she had seen in the confessional when she was young.

"Thank you for your hard work Gray, please hold on a little longer."

Ace gritted his teeth. After receiving the affirmation from his son, the only father he recognized made his last request to Ace. He took his child to escape from here and send the bird back to the free ocean.

"You can run away now Gray!!! Hold on!!!"

"——In the final analysis, Whitebeard is just a loser from the previous era."

Feeling Ace's footsteps stop, Greta grabbed his sleeve. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and she immediately transformed the anger in Ace's eyes into worry: "Greta——"

He supported the shrike that struggled to jump to the ground, and watched as the bow/crossbow in her hand actually split into two strings, and the arrow condensed into a sphere with white in the middle and black and scarlet lightning around the edges, roaring with Greta As the center, the violence spreads to all sides - no matter whether it is friend or foe, regardless of the camp, as long as you stand within the range, the strong wind that announces the sound of death will ruthlessly overturn everything.

"——Senior sister is right," in the violent wind, the shrike's brown feathers soaked in blood remained motionless. She narrowed her light amber eyes, with sharp murderous intent in her pupils. Ace couldn't help but be attracted by this. Stunned by the sharp thorns, he stared blankly at her moving her steps, closing the distance between her and Sakaski, "Mercy is the mercy of God, and we are only responsible for leading you to Him."

Torn between extreme anger and calmness, her second talent finally awakened.

The second talent [Sky Messenger]: Combat power and speed under the sky are greatly improved.

The sky is indeed a battlefield suitable for raptors, especially in the haze of dark clouds and billowing smoke. Silent long-range shooting methods are perfect.

[Sky Messenger] makes her bow///crossbow that can cause high real damage become even more difficult to deal with, and Sakaski, who has been hit hard once before, will inevitably be hit by Gray even if he is more vigilant. The tower's men took several attacks.

The admiral with rich combat experience immediately found her shortcomings, but when Akainu rushed to Greta's side at full speed with his fist raised, intending to twist her fragile little arm, the white-bearded Cong Yunqi greeted him fiercely. Back: "Magma kid, are you using your lighter to light a birthday candle for my daughter?"

Greta took the opportunity to distance herself again and sneered at Sakaski's incompetence. He couldn't even hit her, an unknown person. Luffy and Ace ran back to the left and right to block the archer. Clean up the lava and debris falling from the sky for her.

"-Yeah, what a tricky little bird-"

The shivers caused by the light and heat flowing through her skin made Greta avoid Kizaru's laser beam without hesitation, but her fragile shoulder blades were sent in front of the ice spear.

"Greta!!!"

The pain arrived along with Ace's cry. The bow///crossbow blocked for a moment, but failed to completely block it, because at this time, Akainu, who was supposed to be kneeling on the ground, stood up and extended his fist with the rolling lava towards her. No, he was blocking her. Luffy in front of him.

"Luffy--!!!"

The sound when the fist penetrated the flesh//body was very dull. Amidst the dizzy roar, Greta raised her head blankly. Through the blood, she saw Ace's life card, violently at her feet. Burn up.

"A---"

"Go away."

Luffy heard Shrike say this in a cold voice.

"Get out of the way and fight Akainu."

Under the control of absolute grief, Luffy's last rationality dominated him. He complied with Greta's request, gritted his teeth and knocked Akainu away, and he fell to the ground exhausted.

Greta half-knelt beside her friend, gently held Ace's hand, and stared at the blood on her hand flowing down the man's arm.

"I will assist with the treatment, so get up quickly, Ace, come and help me, I feel like I can't hold on any longer."

The life card at her feet suddenly stopped burning. Under everyone's shocked eyes, it quickly recovered half of its energy in the firelight in an incredible form.

Portcas D. Ace, who was still lying on the ground with little breath, suddenly sat up. This time it was his turn to support his unlucky friend: "Gray, Gray, cheer up, Gray - Luffy!!!"

Shrike stood up quietly and did not move on the spot. Her eyes stared unblinkingly at Whitebeard's figure approaching her. She unfolded the bowstring towards him, raised the arrow a little higher, and aimed at the figure above and behind Whitebeard. Kizaru.

"Let's go, Dad, everyone is waiting for us," she smiled slowly, "As for the troublesome guys, it would be good if they can no longer get involved. Am I right?"

Whitebeard was silent for a few seconds and snorted coldly: "I haven't fallen to the point where I want a little girl to stay by myself."

Ace was driven by him, carrying Luffy on his back, and ran towards the captains. Greta swallowed a mouthful of blood-smelling saliva, unfolded her bow//crossbow into two strings, and released red and black light and electricity again.

This was a trick she had not told anyone and had never used before this war.

Before coming to Malinfando, Greta had envisioned many endings, the worst of which was that she would unluckily throw away her life here, and go to see the omniscient and omnipotent Lord with regrets - He might forgive her for taking the lives of innocent people. behavior, probably not.

However, no more time should be wasted thinking about such things at this time. Greta thought to herself.

Now that she has made her decision, let everything be judged by fate.

The third skill [Praise of My General]: The attack range is expanded, causing +250 damage to enemies within the attack range, and losing a certain health value every second; the skill will be forcibly ended when the health value returns to zero, and when the skill ends, it will cause damage to enemies within the range for 3 seconds. pause.

In the long silence, a huge hole was opened in the ground again, and all the navy in the square fell into it. Even the giants were helpless and could only watch as falling rocks and planks fell down.

Sengoku wanted to kill the Shrike directly, but the attack was offset by Whitebeard's shock wave. He immediately changed his strategy and joined forces with three generals and other lieutenant generals who were still capable of fighting to try to block the explosion/ /Open red and black light waves.

When Greta was determined to activate the skill until she triggered the blood lock, an icicle quietly rose from behind her.

Just like when young Portcas D. Ace insisted on going out to chase Blackbeard, Whitebeard failed to recall his children in time this time.

The red light dissipated.
