I summon the shadow army in Pirates

On top of the building not far away. Google search reading

A plain-looking naval officer was recording the combat scores of Coles and Veroch on the report board.

Next to this officer, there was a naval colonel with an upright look on his face.

"Kahn, I heard that he is a recruit you taught before. What do you think of him?"

Kahn considered his words and replied: "Charol Coles has a very high talent for swordsmanship and a very good understanding. He is a very rare genius."

"You were his instructor before he was a recruit. Do you have any other comments about him?" the officer who recorded the score asked instead.

"The other evaluations have been filled in before. If there is no change in his current personality, this is it."

Kahn replied coldly, saying that his status as an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army was sensitive. If he showed too close relationship with Coles now and was exposed later, Coles would definitely be implicated.

Therefore, the distant attitude of yesterday's landing was not only a reminder to Maude and Dusky, but also a statement to Coles.

"Are you sure it's gone?" the officer recording the score asked again.

"No." Kahn nodded seriously.

…

After Veroch was seriously injured and was taken away for treatment, the excitement at the scene gradually subsided.

However, the far-reaching impact that Coles stabbed Veroch will have is far from over.

"Major, your things."

After the battle, Duschi quickly handed the navy coat and silver pocket watch back to Coles.

"Cols, do you want to go to the infirmary?" asked Maud, who was following along.

"No, it's just a small problem."

Coles shook his head and refused, taking his things from Dusqi's hands.

Maud was speechless. One side of his face was covered with blood. Is this still a small problem?

"Thank you Major."

After returning the things to Coles, Dasqi bent at a 90-degree angle to thank him.

"No, I just want to test my strength through battle. I'm just helping you by the way."

Coles just glanced at Dasqi lightly, then turned and left.

"No matter what, thank you."

Das still bowed to Qi. She knew that Major Coles was a cold-faced and warm-hearted person who didn't like to accept thanks from others, just like the first time he encountered pirates as a recruit.

Coles, on the other hand, lazily ignored what Dusqi thought and moved forward on his own. He also began to think about what he had gained from this battle.

The biggest gain.

Naturally, he has entered the realm of cutting iron.

In addition, he also saw with his own eyes the combat power of the naval lieutenant colonel in the New World, which was completely unmatched by the lieutenant colonel in the East China Sea, and there were also rare ancient species of animals...

After walking to the dormitory building.

Coles suddenly realized that the injury on his head was serious and needed treatment to stop the bleeding, so he turned around and looked for the infirmary here.

In front of the dormitory building.

Some of the navy who didn't know what was going on were a little confused as to why Coles' head was bleeding, and they all talked in low voices.

"Hey, what's going on with this young man?"

"He was injured, right? He looks a little weak!"

"I think I've seen him before. He was recommended by the navy from the East China Sea, but now there are elites from all branches of the navy gathered here. It is normal for conflicts to occur and to be injured."

Faced with these discussions among the Navy who came to participate in the elite training camp selection.

Coles paid no attention.

After confirming the location of the infirmary, he walked there without stopping.

"I heard that there are several marines who have directly reserved places for the elite training camp this time. They are all Devil Fruit ability users. Among them, the navy's G5 branch Veroch's strength is very terrifying."

"I know this. Veroch has a bad temper. He even injured three or four marines who came for selection a few days ago."

"I heard that his Devil Fruit is a rare ancient species of animal. I estimate that he is the strongest one in this year's elite training camp."

In front of the dormitory building.

The marines were talking in low voices as they watched Coles disappear away from him.

After about a few minutes.

The news about Veroch's defeat by Donghai Xinxing also slowly spread back to the dormitory building, causing a burst of exclamations and discussions.

"You know, that Veroch from the Navy's G5 branch was defeated."

"Doesn't Veroch possess a rare ancient species of animals? With such powerful strength, how can it be defeated by others?"

"I was watching at the scene just now. The one who defeated Veroch was the Devil Fruit user from the East China Sea. It was the handsome young marine who came from the East China Sea yesterday. The battle was extremely fierce...

Finally, Coles pulled out the long knife from his waist and killed Veroch instantly with one sword move. "

Instant kill!

An ancient species of animal?

After hearing this, the marines from each branch couldn't help but swallowed their saliva, a little in disbelief.

And at this time,

They also recalled the Coles they had just seen, and were a little dazed for a moment.

I originally thought that the handsome young marine was weak, but I didn't expect Coles to be so strong!

"By the way, does Veroch have a younger brother? I heard he is a vice admiral. I wonder if he will cause trouble for Coles?"

"You're talking about Vice Admiral Vergo of the G5 branch of the Navy. He is a gentleman-like navy. He shouldn't cause trouble for Coles because of this."

"By the way, why is Mr. Vergo already a vice admiral, while his brother Verroch is still a lieutenant colonel?" (Note 1)

"I heard that they were separated since childhood and only met in recent years. Verroch was just an ordinary guard of a country in the Grand Line before, and just joined the navy in recent years."

...

Navy headquarters tower.

In a conference room on one of the floors.

A group of high-ranking navy officers are discussing this year's elite training camp.

Da Da Da!

Outside the conference room, a colonel of the Navy headquarters knocked on the door.

The meeting in the field was temporarily stopped.

Zhan Guo looked at the adjutant outside the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

The adjutant reported: "Report, Verroch and Charlotte Coles, who are scheduled for the elite training camp, just had a challenge duel."

Hearing the names of these two devil fruit ability users, Zhan Guo couldn't help but become interested.

"Tell me about it."

"Yes." The adjutant who reported the report opened the report and read aloud: "At the beginning, the two of them fought each other with physical skills... In the end, the result of the battle was that Charlotte Coles used the great sword and defeated Verroch with one move."

As the adjutant closed the report, the meeting room fell into silence for a while.

Kakaka!

"Hahaha, interesting, I was very optimistic about the navy Charlotte Coles before, and his strength has improved well." Garp continued to eat donuts and broke the silence with a laugh.

Afterwards, other navy vice admirals also expressed their opinions.

"I didn't expect that the rare ancient species animal-type ability user was defeated. This Coles..."

"Great sword? It seems that this young man's swordsmanship has entered the iron-cutting level..."

"I checked his information. He has only learned swordsmanship for a year, but he has already touched the threshold of the swordsman level. He is really gifted!"

...

After listening to the comments of these vice admirals, Zefa also became interested in this young navy named Charlotte Coles.

He took out the information of this young navy from the files in front of him.

Name: Charlotte Coles

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Joined the navy: one year

Rank: Major of the Navy Headquarters

Special: Devil Fruit ability user, the fruit name is "Shadow Fruit"

Good at: Swordsmanship

Zephyr was also a little surprised by Coles' talent and strength.

18-year-old Major of the Navy Headquarters!

He is indeed a rising star of the Navy.

You should know that he was only 18 years old and had just participated in actual combat.

Zephyr sighed slightly about the different times, and then looked at the evaluation column.

Evaluation: Rapid growth in strength (Smoker), cold personality, unruly heart, often disobeying orders, observation and polishing is recommended (Kahn)

After seeing Smoker's name.

Zephyr couldn't help but sigh in his heart, hoping that this young navy named Coles would not become the next "lone ranger" who did not listen to his superiors' orders.

...

Time passed quickly in the Navy Headquarters.

The time for the branch navy to come to participate in the training camp was also getting closer.

Four days, three days, two days, one day...

The night before the formal assessment.

All the navy officers who were going to participate in the elite training camp had already started to rest and prepare for tomorrow's assessment.

And among them, Coles was an exception.

Because of the benefits brought by the Shadow Fruit, he basically had to meditate and practice until three in the morning before going to bed, and tonight would be no exception.

This has long become a habit.

After meditating and practicing until three o'clock and consolidating the realm of swordsmanship, Coles began to sleep and wait for tomorrow's assessment.

Although it was a reserved quota, this preliminary assessment still had to be recorded.

After waking up the next day, the navy officers recommended by each branch were all taken to the place where they would participate in the assessment by the officers of the headquarters.

Along the way.

Except for the reserved navy and the navy officers who were particularly confident in their own strength, most of the other navy officers were a little excited and uneasy, not knowing whether they could pass.

Among them, Mod and Tashigi were representatives of extremely uneasy moods.

Not long after.

The officers of the navy headquarters led everyone to a huge and extremely empty room, which contained some special testing instruments.

The preliminary screening assessment of the elite training camp.

It has begun!
