One Piece Codex

Levi, who had finished chatting with Williams, was "wandering" in the palace at the moment.

He had specially changed into aristocratic attire before coming here, and there were many aristocratic young masters and ladies in the palace itself, so no unsighted patrol would look for him.

Since the second prince Jimmy is still alive and well, then Mads should be fine too.

Since the king can order Williams to fake his death, does that mean he can also conceal information about Mads?

Levi quickly processed the information in his mind.

On the surface, it seems that the king temporarily suppressed the presence of generals such as Williams in order to increase the eldest prince's prestige among the masses. The purpose was naturally to cultivate heirs.But this is a conjecture, and there are still many loopholes. For example, if this is the premise, there is no need for Girod to cooperate with the pirates.

[Sure enough, there is still too little key information. 】

Levi, who really couldn't figure out the reason, decided not to waste his efforts. No matter what, Girod's existence threatened his family and he had to die.

It seems like he is "wandering around", but he is actually looking for a suitable sniping point.

Levi never expected that Lorna could kill Girod with just a pistol.

Of course, it's best to be able to kill, but if you can't kill, you have to be prepared.

His plan was to let Lorna assassinate her at close range, while he would snipe and shoot from a distance.Lorna was exposed to view, herself hidden in the background.In this way, as long as Levi does not use his gun empty-handed, he and Mads will not be involved in this trouble.

The only flaw may be that Lorna has no way out.

This may be too cruel to a ten-year-old child, but Levi will not feel that he owes anything.

Before that, the other party had already put his life on the line, and you were willing to do it.The only thing he can do is to fulfill his promise-kill Girod.

The aesthetics of most aristocrats tend to be complex and exquisite, and the simple atmosphere is at most just exquisite external outlines or embellishments, just like this palace.

The pavilions, terraces and pavilions are intricately constructed and decorated with all kinds of strange and colorful plants.

Thanks to the sophistication of the nobles, Levi found many good sniping spots near Girod's palace.

People usually have a misunderstanding that the higher the sniper point, the better.

Although Levi was not from a special forces background in his previous life, he had been playing with guns for several years and had his own sniper experience.

Setting up sniper positions in urban areas requires a wide field of vision, good environmental integration, and strong concealment. It is best to comply with the principles of advancing to attack and retreating to defend.

Soon, he picked the most suitable sniper spot.

A short bell tower located at the southwest corner of Girod Palace.Looking from the palace to the top of the bell tower, the elevation angle does not exceed 45 degrees, the distance is about 1000 meters, the wind resistance is not large, and it is within the effective range of the "Leite".

Levi ascended the bell tower.

This is a very small pavilion. The five-meter-high vintage bell has not been used for many years.Even the knocking wood has been removed, let alone a bell ringer. At most, servants will come to clean up the dust every once in a while.

He looked around carefully and soon made another surprising discovery.

Due to the architectural angle, the bell tower is right at the intersection of light and shadow, and there is no sunlight inside the platform.

This means that not only is this place very hidden at night, but even if you snipe during the day, if the enemy breaks into the bell tower immediately, your eyes will need a few seconds to adapt to the darkness.The bell tower is backed by a fountain, so there is no need to worry about anyone climbing up.If he retreated, a few seconds of reaction time and a water depth of four meters would be enough for Levi to evacuate safely.

While there was no one in the area around downstairs, two black chips appeared on Levi's wrist.He set up his sniper rifle and aimed at the Girod Palace.

In the magnifying glass, what appears is the living room.

[A servant is cleaning up broken glasses. 】

Move the magnifying glass slightly upward, and the two windows of the bedroom are spaced two meters apart on the left and right.

[The curtains of one window are drawn, and the other...]

Moving his eyes to the right, he saw another servant pulling down the curtains.

[Why tear it off?Hmm...it looks like there's something on the curtains, is that? 】

is blood.

Levi's pupils dilated slightly.

He saw the body in the room...

At this moment, he seemed to be able to understand why Lorna was always full of animal shit.

Maybe people are born with both good and evil sides, and the environment can determine whether human nature shines with the light of good or the cruelty of evil.But despite the fact that some people live in a more favorable environment than most people, with no shortage of wealth, status, and women, they still exude a rotten stench in their bones.

Not taking the moral high ground, just plain annoying.

Silently putting away his gun, Levi left the palace.

Today we have determined the sniping location, and the next step is to find the opportunity to snipe.

A qualified sniper will either not take action or be killed with one shot. Perfect sniping cannot be accomplished overnight and requires patience and patience.

He can come in and out of the palace at any time on the pretext of delivering tea to the Earl, and there is no need to be too anxious.

evening,

Treehouse base.

"boom!"

"Bang! Bang!"

A series of gunshots echoed in the forest, and all the sparrows around had been frightened until not a single one was left.

From morning to night, a whole box of bullets had been shot to the bottom by Lorna.After all, before Levi left, he told her solemnly, "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Just practice, as long as you have enough bullets."

Shaking the painful tiger's mouth, she looked at her practice results.

Opposite there are three trees with bull's-eyes drawn with red oil pens. From nearest to far, each tree is about five meters apart, and the nearest one is ten meters away from Lorna.

I thought it would be easy to control a small pistol, but I didn't expect...

At a distance of ten meters, it can barely hit the target within five centimeters of the target. At a distance of 15 meters...you can see the traces of bullets grazing the bark on the edge of the tree trunk.

[Damn it, come again! 】

Unwilling to rest for a moment, Lorna fired several more shots at the tree 15 meters away.Unfortunately, the results were worse than before. Only one shot did not miss the target, and the shot was in the outermost ring.

【hateful! 】

She gritted her teeth unwillingly, tightened her pistol, and prepared to shoot another round.

"Calm down, Rona. Without being thoroughly familiar with the gun, any strong emotional fluctuations will affect your aim."

Lorna was stunned when she heard Levi's voice coming from behind.

Before she could react, she felt a warm and strong hand holding her wrist.

The heartbeat did not speed up for a while.

...The mood swings seem to be stronger?

"Remember the three points and one line I told you?"

Lorna came back to her senses after hearing this and quickly entered the state.

"Remember, the sight hole, crosshair and target are on a horizontal line."

"Great, now hold the gun and feel the weight of the gun in your hand and think about how it feels."

The wind blew lightly through the grassy hills, and black and yellow dragonflies could be seen buzzing and flying everywhere.

Lorna's breathing gradually became steady, and her head slowly became empty.

The next second, her every breath seemed to be mixed into nature.

【Concentrate...Concentrate】

Finally, all attention comes to a point.

Pull the trigger.

click.

"boom!"

quiet……

Black smoke came out of the gun.

"Did you hit it?" Lorna asked, rubbing her eyes.

"Great progress, one point and three centimeters away from the target." Levi let go, "Remember the feeling just now and keep working hard."

"Yeah!" Lorna nodded excitedly.She was so happy that a hard day's training was not without reward, and it also meant that she was one step closer to revenge.

"That's it for today. Let's have dinner first, barbecue and apple pie. Eat as much as you can." Levi placed the food on the picnic cloth.

Lorna was also unambiguous. She knew very well that her training required a lot of energy, so she simply thanked her and started eating.

If she could survive, she vowed to repay Levi well.
