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

The ice cream shop named by Uncle Curly was indeed super popular. Greta waited in line for a while before it was her turn to order. Then she sadly discovered that the ice cream ball seemed a bit big. If she had to hold it in one hand and fly, Before I could fly back, I was blown away by the wind.

"What should I do? The first express delivery business is going to fail. If the senior sister finds out, she will definitely be poked in the head and called an idiot - eh!!!???"

When she wasn't paying attention, several children in rags suddenly rushed over, snatched the coin bag from Greta's hand, and then got into the crowd.

Greta was stunned for a few seconds and then immediately caught up with them. She followed the children into the alley, and after twists and turns, she blocked them at the end of the alley.

"Give me the money quickly!" Greta walked towards the frightened children with a bow and arrow, looking threatening, "I have other work, don't waste time -"

She keenly felt the dangerous aura coming from behind her, and plucked the bow string with her backhand at the guys who sneaked up on her. After stopping their movements, she swung the bow//crossbow to knock the thieves to the ground, overlooking them from a high position.

"It seems that you are organized and premeditated. Since I met you, you will arrest them all to exchange money-"

"Wait, wait a minute!!!" One of the red-haired boys couldn't help but say, "You are the bounty hunter butcher bird!!!"

"——No," Greta's expression twisted for a moment, and then she denied coldly, "I am a fortune-teller, a messenger, not a butcher bird."

The boy was choked by her refusal to admit it: "That's not right!!! You are obviously a butcher bird!!!"

"No, I'm not. I'm a fortune-teller. You remembered wrongly."

"Anyway, you are the rookie bounty hunter!!! I remember correctly!!!"

The boy was silent for a moment, shouted loudly, knelt down on his knees in front of Greta's shocked eyes, and knelt down to her fiercely.

"Please, arrest the pirate group who harmed us!!!"

The red-haired boy calls himself Bird and is the leader of a gang of thieves living in the Water City.

He told Greta that he was originally a resident of the Water City and lived with his parents. However, after his mother died in a tsunami, his father became a gambler and an alcoholic. Because he could not repay the loan sharks, he would His children were sold to the pirates to pay back the money.

"Those pirates forced us to steal money, rob, and defraud tourists. All the money we got was squandered by them. If they met a good-looking girl or boy, they would sell them to human traffickers and become slaves. "

Greta was so angry that her ear feathers were trembling. She could hear Bird crying slightly when he spoke. The boy did not lie, and after he told his tragic experience, several other children could not help crying. stand up.

"My name is Annie. My sister and I were abducted. My sister is good-looking, but she was taken away to another place."

"I'm Tris. My family used to live over there at the dock. After my father left, they brought me here."

Most of the children were bought, sold or abducted by the pirates to work as pickpockets in the Water City. One child was a street child who was picked up by the pirates. Greta suppressed the anger in her heart and asked them in as calm a tone as possible: "Where is that pirate group?"

Bird stood up and led Greta out of the alley, around to a small bar, pointing to the dilapidated small yard separated by a wall: "We usually live here, but they are elsewhere. They only come in the evening." Will come and collect the money.”

Greta nodded gloomily, looking at the sallow and skinny children. Finally she felt uncomfortable and said proactively: "You haven't eaten yet. I still have some money in my wallet. You go buy some bread and stuff first." I'll go say hello to my employer first."

Then she hurried back to the ice cream shop, took her share of dessert and rushed to the agreed place. She bit the bullet and handed the ice cream ball that was still slightly deformed even though it was wrapped with an air film to Uncle Curly.

"I'm sorry, uncle, I just met some children. They were forced by pirates to become thieves. I just wanted to help them, so I was late. I'll give you this! I'll give you the money back."

"Call me Kuzan. Calling me uncle sounds too old."

Kuzan took the ice cream from her and praised it, "But your speed is not slow, and you were flying at a high altitude just now, so the ice cream almost didn't melt."

Greta had no intention of chatting with him. She hurriedly exchanged a few polite words and turned to leave. Kuzan stopped her and said, "I'll go with you too."

"Eh?" Greta looked at his lazy face in surprise, "The other party is a pirate, right? It's a bit dangerous for uncle to go like this. It's a bit difficult for me to just protect those children and fight them. Maybe I can’t take care of you——”

"——Ah la la, it seems you really don't care about the news about the navy, little messenger. Well, don't look at me like this, I can be considered a combatant."

It turned out to be the navy. Greta silently memorized the other party's name and appearance in a small notebook, and decided to check Kuzan's identity after cleaning up these damn pirates.

"Okay, then I'll go catch the pirates, and I'll ask you to take care of the children."

When Greta arrived with Uncle Kuzan, who claimed to be a marine, he happened to encounter the leader of the pirate group grabbing Bird by the collar, lifting the child up, and punched the boy on the bridge of the nose.

She instantly transformed into an angry bird, and the meteor-like arrows penetrated the pirates' bodies with a few whizzes. Blood instantly flowed into a river. Greta kicked away the strong man who was curled up in front of her like a dead frog. Han stepped on the leader's stomach.

"You are the leader of the 'Rock Pirates', right? The 'Wild Boar' Saas Kosa worth 7.6 million beli?"

Then when the other party was clamoring to kill her, the cold wind-like rain of arrows pierced his body densely, making him look more like a porcupine than a wild boar.

The other pirates were not afraid either. Kuzan even kicked one of the pirates when he tried to take the little girl Annie hostage. He kicked him directly into the wall and left a human-shaped hole.

The clever little boy Tris had already slipped into the house when the pirates were being beaten on the ground, and found the iron chains and hemp ropes usually used to lock up disobedient children. Greta angrily raised her bow//crossbow, glaring angrily at the motionless wild boar lying on the ground, urging the children to quickly tie him up, pack him up with several other bruised and swollen pirates, and drag him to the edge of the dock. Navy stationed in exchange for money.

"General Qing, Qing Pheasant!!! And the 'Butcher Bird'!!!"

Greta's eyes widened, "What General Aokiji? What General?!"

"Mr. Admiral Kuzan!!!" The navy who was responsible for helping them register and redeem the bounty glanced at her, "But Butcher Bird is actually such a young girl! And she's cute! It's still a bounty. Hunter! Mr. Aokiji can meet this! He is truly worthy of being an admiral!"

"Hey, hurry up and clear your head of all the strange thoughts."

Greta's face suddenly became strange. She looked at the curly man who was wearing an eye patch and an ugly dirty green coat and couldn't speak.

"Miss Messenger, if you want to say anything, you can just say it." Kuzan reluctantly pulled up the blindfold a little, "Also, I shouldn't be a bad person, why did Miss Messenger suddenly pull away from such a long distance? It's a bit hurt. My heart."

"I'm sorry! I judged people by their cover at first! I thought you were a paid fisherman who showed up late and left early. A document can be delayed for three months without being signed. You are submissive to your boss and punch your colleagues hard! It's not good for you. First impression!”

“Hey, hey, you’re going a little too far when you say that, right?!”

Kuzan looked at the girl with sincerity and innocence written on her face speechlessly, touched the back of her head, and spoke seriously.

"Greta, that's your name, right? Are you interested in joining the Navy?"
