" Saya, what are we doing here ? " Kohta asked him.
While the two friends had managed to escape the zombies and managed to rush into the school's handicrafts room, the boy was still panicking, thinking of the zombies roaming nearby. .
" First, go find me anything that could be used as weapons. " Ordered the girl.
" Weapons ? " Repeated the boy, examining the room they were in. " Do you really think we can find some in this room? "
" If I took us here, it is not by chance! It is surely in the practical work room that we will be able to find something to defend ourselves. "
" You just have to know what. " Kohta observed, looking for something out of the ordinary.
Suddenly grabbing a small hammer, he asked.
" Will that do the trick ? "
" Against a zombie, yes. " Saya told him. " But against a horde, not at all. "
Examining the rest of the material then, Kohta ends up finding a cordless nail gun.
" A nail gun? " He wondered, taking it. " Did you see, it works on gas. "
" Of course it runs on gas, idiot. " Saya got angry. " Otherwise, we wouldn't call it a cordless nail gun! Are you sure you have a brain ? "
She barely had time to finish her sentence when a shock was heard from the other side of the door followed by growls.
" Crap ! " Swore the young girl. " Here they are. "
However, despite the fact that they appeared to be several, neither of them managed to open the door, which was not barricaded but just locked.
" Lucky they can't destroy this door. " Saya remarked.
As if they had just heard it, the zombies suddenly redoubled their efforts, and the powerful knocks began to rain on the door.
" Uh ... power level, they are still good. " Kohta remarked, barely glancing at them.
" Use your weapon. " Then ordered the schoolgirl.
Suddenly deciding to ignore him, Kohta seemed engrossed in the `` shooting weapon '' he had just dug up and began to count the number of refills and nails in the reserve.
" There is only one refill. " He remarked, taking it out of a small box. " On the other hand, for the nails, we have enough to kill a good part of the zombies in this place, if I manage to manage with them. "
" But what are you talking about ? " Saya asked, as she pushed a table against the door. " Come help me barricade this place instead. "
Pretending to be deaf, the boy filled the tanks of his weapon with gas and ammunition, before weighing it so as to know if it had good maneuverability.
" The refill is twenty-five nails! It's rather good ! On the other hand, it weighs at least four kilos! Which is equivalent to an assault rifle. "
He suddenly turned to the schoolgirl and ordered her.
" I need something to stabilize my aim! Find me a broomstick, a pencil, scotch tape or tape and an eraser. "
" Huh ? " She wondered, looking at him in amazement.
" Hurry, if you want to survive. " Ordered the boy, who had already started looking for the material he needed.
Angered by the boy's orders, the girl was staring at him angrily. Stubborn as she was, Saya cried out.
" What are you talking about again? Do you really think you can take down all these monsters with a simple nail gun? You are dreaming my boy! Help me instead to consolidate this place. "
" Your barricade can only hold out against five zombies, to the maximum. " The boy assured, suddenly grabbing a big yellow wooden ruler. " On the other hand, if they become more numerous, she will have no chance! Instead of taking care of our defense, I prefer to bet everything on the attack. "
" The one who has ideas here, it's me. " She retorted. " You, you are only there to do what I tell you to do. "
Ignoring him again, the boy paid attention to his weapon, into which he incorporated a bet, with an eraser cut in half and a pencil. He then hung the two rulers on the sides of the pistol in order to hold it more easily.
" I think it can work! But it's going to be fifty-fifty! I just hope that the power of this weapon will allow me to pierce the skulls of zombies. "
Sensing a near danger coming, they finally managed to fly the door, before pushing back the makeshift barricade that Saya had been able to build.
" We ... We are done. " Remarked the young girl, seeing the ten zombies, which rushed straight at them.
" Here we go. " Kohta announced, getting into position, weapon in hand, before pressing down on the crate.
The first nail that came out made an incredible race, at full speed, between the tank of the weapon and the skull of the zombie at the head of the group. Planting itself there with a strange facility, the projectile suddenly froze the zombie, who collapsed to the ground, unable to make the slightest gesture.
" Perfect ! " Kohta exclaimed, displaying a cruel face. " For an improvised weapon, I think it will be enough for us to leave here. "
To prove it, he aimed at the foreheads of the other zombies, and began to make them bite the dust one by one. Saya couldn't help but widen her eyes, noting that an opponent fell, every time he pressed the crate. However, that didn't stop him from boiling inside with rage:
"Who does he think he is in the end ? He's already giving me orders, now this big load of soup wants to show me that he's more useful than my! Didn't he notice that I'm the genius of the team ? "
Piercing the brain of one of the last zombies that remained in the room, Kohta began to pretend to come out of the latter while ordering the girl.
" Take all the weapons you find! And also collect all the reserves of nails. "
Far from wanting to obey him, Saya cried out.
" Who do you think you are ? Do you really think you can give me orders? "
Turning to her, Kohta gave her a psycho look while telling her.
" If you want to survive, do it. "
Seeing him like that, while killing the last zombie that was left, Saya could only feel her anger vanish to be replaced by a fear that had just been born towards the boy.
"But who is it at the end ? "
Nonetheless, she finally cried out.
" What are you doing to me now? Do you think that I am not able to show that I am able to defend myself alone ? "
" Huh ? " The boy wondered, regaining his normal character. " Of course not ! It's just that I want to be used for something, so as not to become an embarrassment for you, if you know what I mean! You are the brain and I am the sniper! Just let me assist you in your task, please. "
Despite the compliment addressed to him, Saya preferred to hiss in annoyance, before walking past him. Still, the boy could hear a vague "thank you" from her, when she got close to him.
"This guy. " She thought. " Maybe he could be more helpful and helpful than I thought. "
" But what is this shell at the end? " Wanted to know a high school student, kicking the latter.
While Usopp and Nami were still trapped in a room, the shooter finally explained his plan to everyone who was with him. He wanted each of them to hit their impact-dial multiple times in order to build up as much power as possible. As a result, he then intended to press it against the front door, in order to detonate it, just like the zombies behind it.
" Come on, Yamada. " Encouraged Miura, imitating him. " Just hit it. "
" Get away. " Tsunoda then ordered.
Grabbing a chair, he had smashed it violently against the shell, which absorbed the impact without a care.
" Not a scratch ? " The boy wondered.
" Go! Keep hitting. " Usopp ordered them.
Eventually, the arm of one of the zombies made it through the door and started to be followed by the rest of the body.
" Usopp. " Called her Nami. " We must act now. "
Immediately, the sniper took his shell and tied it to the palm of his hand.
" Okay ! I'll take care of that. " He announced. " Don't forget that then, you will have to run away at full speed from here. "
" Ok ... Okay. "
" Nami, are you ready ? "
" When you want ? " The young girl assured him, grabbing her clima-tack.
" In that case, let's go. " He cried, rushing for the door. " IMPACT DIAL ! "
" GUST WORLD ! "
Backing up behind them, the three high school students were stunned as Usopp sent out a huge shock wave, while Nami created a violent squall at the same time.
" Who are these guys ? "
" Saya, what are you doing with the nails ? " Kohta asked him.
While the duo were hidden in a hallway behind a row of lockers, Saya had discreetly pulled out some ammunition that they had taken for Kohta's weapon.
" You will soon understand. " She assured him.
" Don't take everything. " The boy nevertheless advised him. " Otherwise, I'll run out of… "
" Let me do it. " She retorted, giving him a dark look.
"Why does she seem to be always mad at me?" The boy wondered.
Grabbing one of the metal objects, Saya ends up throwing it at one of the zombies moving in the hallway. The latter, even receiving him on the back of his head, continued his progression, as if he hadn't felt anything. However, it was only when the object fell to the ground that he turned around before looking down at him.
" Have you seen ? " Whispered Saya.
" Yes. " Kohta approved. " Looks like he doesn't feel a thing when something touches him! On the other hand, they seem to have good hearing. "
" That's right. " Saya nodded, looking at the zombie, biting the nail. " When they die, it seems their touch has vanished, as has their sight! Otherwise, he wouldn't stupidly bite into that nail! On the other hand, his listening was preserved! He is blind but far from being deaf! It will be necessary to pay attention to that. "
" It is thanks to this sense that they spot us! And that they can also differentiate other zombies from us! The cries they utter should only be produced by them and their fellows! But do you think they detect heat too? 3
" Unlikely. " Retorted Saya. " Otherwise, they would have spotted us a long time ago. "
She then turned around before pretending to leave.
" To survive and get out of here, all we'll have to do is be very discreet! Even if a zombie walks past you, stay completely still! Then we'll head downtown to see if we can find any other survivors. "
" Let's walk ? " Kohta asked him.
" How do you want to get there, if not? "
" Uh, in the car. " Kohta told him.
" Fat guy ! " Insulted Saya, starting to run. " Really, you're even more useless than I thought. "
" Hey, wait for me. "
Moving towards the ground floor, the two students were about to enter a corridor, when they saw a whole group of zombies, in the process of congregating in front of one of the doors of the latter.
" But that … ? " Saya wondered.
At this point, a violent explosion occurs, destroying the door, with a section of the wall surrounding it, as well as most of the zombies that were close to the site of the impact. If this was not enough, a violent gust fluttered the rest of the zombies, who crashed heavily to the ground. The violence of the shock was such that it spread throughout the school.
" Huh ? " Morita wondered, stopping running. " You heard ? "
' Yeah. " Zoro said. " It seems we're not the only ones still alive here. "
" What was that ? " Taniuchi frightened, feeling vibrations spread under his feet.
" It seems that someone has detonated something. " Kawamoto remarked.
" An explosion ? " Robin wondered. " Would that be Franky ? "
" My God ! But what was it again ? " Hisashi wanted to know.
" Was it an explosion? " Rei asked.
Compared to the high school kids who seemed quite frightened by the deafening noise, Luffy and Franky both smiled upon hearing the explosion.
" How much do you bet that Usopp is? " Luffy asked.
" If I'm here, then it can only be him. " Asserted the cyborg.
" Was it one of your friends who did that? " Takashi wondered. " But damn, are you all supermen or what? "
He ignored by Luffy, who immediately ran in the direction of the noise.
" How ? " Kohta wanted to know.
" Quick, we go out. " Suddenly ordered a young man, with a long nose, leaving the room the zombies besieged.
" I don't believe it. " Cried Yamada, following him. " It worked. "
" Too strong, your tool. " Miura confessed.
Nami in turn left the room, when she saw the other two high school students staring at them in bewilderment.
" Hey, there are other people. " She remarked, pointing at them.
" Huh ? " Said the others, looking for them.
The instant they saw them, their smiles disappeared, as soon as they saw zombies behind their backs. The latter, attracted by the powerful grip of their attacks, had come to meet them, but ultimately fell on Saya and Kohta, who, still stunned by what they had just witnessed, had not felt at all their presence.
" How did you … ? " Saya began.
" Behind you ? " Yamada interrupted suddenly.
" Huh? " The high school couple said, turning around.
Seeing her zombie's head close to her face, Saya let out a huge cry of fear. But that was all the zombie could trigger, as he very quickly found himself with a nail in his head.
" Go away ! " Kohta ordered her, grabbing Saya's arm, before forcing her to run towards the small group.
Seeing them coming, as the zombies started to follow them, Yamada noticed.
" We better run away, right? "
But hardly did he turn around when a pair of hands grabbed him. Having been more fortunate than his comrades, one of the zombies had been protected from the double attack of the pirates thanks to a portion of the wall which had supported the power of the attack. Always fit to fight, he carried Yamada up to his mouth, before either of the two pirates or Miura could do anything.
" NOOOOO ! "
The back of a chair suddenly made contact with the zombie's skull, which fell backwards, with the jaws completely fractured. Freezing with fear, Yamada watched him fall as Tsunoda walked past him, with what remained of his chair in his hands. Seeing his opponent start to get up, he gave him another blow in the head that had the effect of blowing his brains out for good. This time the zombie succumbed.
Unfortunately, this victory was only the beginning of a great battle since about thirty other zombies followed their deceased comrade. Coming from across the hall, the zombies chasing Kohta and Saya were blocking the only exit available to them. To sum up, the seven survivors were now sandwiched.
" What ... What do we do ? " Miura scared.
Resuming his black kabuto, Usopp began to target the first zombies.
" PLANT SHU… "
He suddenly cried out in pain from his arm. The power of the impact dial had indeed damaged his right arm and using it was enough to make him suffer martyrdom.
" Usopp! " Called her Nami. " Are you OK ? "
" I can no longer shoot. " He told her.
" What? " She wondered.
Looking up, she saw the zombies circling them. There was no longer any way for them to escape, barely rushing into the heap. Of course, the destructive power of his climate-tack could fix the situation. However, in a place as small as this, it will destroy the entire hallway and the ceiling with it.
" Shoot, shoot, shoot. " Saya ordered. " KILL THEM ! "
" They're too many. " Kohta retorted. " Besides, I can only take care of one side. "
Realizing then that she had no choice, Nami then brandishes her weapon in front of her.
" Sorry, but I have no other choice. "
" Huh? "
Small clouds then began to form at the end of his staff. Black as the plumage of a crow, they seemed to each be charged with lightning.
" DARK CLOUD TEMPO ! Prepare to be struck down. "
" Wait, Nami. " Wanted to stop Usopp. " If you do that, in such a tight spot, you risk destroying everything. "
" We don't have the choice. " Nami retorted. " Either we take this risk or we will get bitten for sure! You might as well fight to the end. "
She then raised her staff in the air and began to stare at the zombies. Hoping her plan would save them, she ends up taking a long breath before starting to lower her gun.
" Forward, THUNDER… "
Flying above her, dozens of zombies were suddenly struck by herculean force, as they found themselves thrown at their comrades.
" But that … ? " Miura wondered, suddenly hearing someone scream.
Hitting anything that moved, someone seemed to be just attacking the zombie mob in front of them.
" GATLING! " Someone shouted, as dozens of punches wrapped in some sort of black metal hit the zombies to get them out of their way.
Recognizing the voice, Usopp smiled.
" He's there ! Finally ! "
Raising his good arm in the air, he exclaimed.
" Go ahead, Luffy. "
Jumping over the remaining zombies, his captain stretched out his leg before using it as a weapon.
" GUM GUM WHIP ! "
Finding themselves smashed into the wall, most of his opponents felt their bodies smash into windows, which exploded on impact. They were kicked out of the hallway, before crashing into the school yard. When those who had managed to get up, Franky decided to finish them off.
" FRANKY STRONG HAMMER ! " He cried out as his fist slipped out of his body to strike the zombies'.
Aiming especially at their skulls, the two men managed, in an instant, to clear a whole part of a corridor. The only zombies left were the ones behind Nami and the others. But at least they weren't sandwiched anymore.
" Luffy! Franky! " Their two friends rejoiced, recognizing them.
" Hey, are you both okay? " Luffy asked them, happy to see them again.
Not caring about their sudden arrival, one of the zombies that had just been brought to the ground slowly stood up, before jumping in the direction of Franky.
" Huh? " The cyborg wondered, turning his face to him.
The tip of a spear suddenly got stuck in the belly of the undead, which had the effect of stopping it.
" You don't move. " Rei ordered him.
" Go back instead…" Takashi started, swinging his baseball bat at his head. " … in hell ! "
Hitting him with all his might, he managed to destroy his skull before doing the same with his brain. Seeing the zombie fall to the ground without him needing to make a move, Franky threw his thumbs up, before asserting.
" Well done kids. "
Turning then to the remaining zombies, he was about to fight them with Luffy, when he saw them crash one after the other. Truth be told, he was getting his head sprayed one by one, without either of them being able to do anything to stop him. This was caused by the fact that they were unable to follow their opponent because his speed made him invulnerable.
" ARM POINT ! "
A zombie found himself with the trace of a hoof right in the middle of his face as the latter was deeply embedded in his head.
" KUNG FU POINT ! "
Another living dead then found himself in front of a being who attacked him from all sides and ended up putting him to the ground after having hit him on the back of the skull.
" HEAVY POINT ! "
This time, a huge fist smashed the bodies of several zombies.
Soon, a good part of their group were exterminated by a monster even more impressive than them. Now under the force of a yeti, he gave a frightening sight of himself along with his build as well as the blood that now covered his fists.
" What is this monster ? " Yamada scared.
" Kohta, aim it, quickly. " Saya ordered him.
" Especially not. " Usopp stopped him, easily recognizing the one in front of them. " He's a friend of ours. "
" A friend ? " Tsunoda wondered, pointing at him. " This monster? "
" Chopper ! " Nami called her.
Beating one last zombie, the yeti turned to her before smiling.
" Nami ! "
He then transformed and took his chibi form. It was at this moment that his friends saw the two high school girls who were behind him. They were both now carrying a bag full of medicine.
" There… There are other survivors. " Misuzu rejoices, seeing all the little world.
" I think there are even your friends. " Toshimi remarked, addressing Chopper.
A thud was suddenly heard behind their backs. Turning around, they then saw a high school girl arrive after hitting a late zombie.
" Saeko Busujima ? " Mizusu wondered, recognizing her.
Appearing in turn, Morita observed the high school students who were among the survivors and smiled as she recognized Takashi and Rei.
" Guys, you are alive. "
" Morita. " Rejoices Takashi.
Looking at the man wearing a straw hat on his head, she asked him.
" Aren't you Monkey D. Luffy, by any chance? "
" Huh ? " The pirate wondered, noting that he didn't know her. " How come you know my first name? "
She then pointed her thumb behind her before teaching him.
" It is your friend with three sabers who told us about you. "
" Zoro ? " Luffy wondered, trying to see him. " But where is he ? "
Turning then, Saeko and Morita noticed that the swordsman was no longer there.
" Huh? " The boy wondered. " Where did he go? He was following us, just a few seconds ago. "
Looking at the city in panic, Zoro was at this very moment on the roof of the school, and seemed to be looking for the two high school students. Finding them nowhere, he sighed.
" Come on, they managed to get lost. "
