I summon the shadow army in Pirates.

East China Sea, Rogue Town.

It rained heavily last night, making the air on the island clear and moist.

Newsbird carried the latest newspapers to the East China Sea as usual.

As a result, these Rogge Town residents saw a familiar figure in the newspaper.

That man was the handsome navy man who was already famous here a year ago.

Charlotte Coles!

When he left, Coles was a lieutenant commander with a promising future, but now, there is real news of his brilliance and achievements.

Rear Admiral!

This is almost the top military rank in the entire East China Sea, and only the highest admiral status can be compared with it in the Four Seas.

Although these people knew that Coles would have great achievements in the future, they did not expect that in just one year, Coles would be able to shine in the Navy Headquarters where power gathered.

Nineteen-year-old rear admiral!

What is this concept?

This means that Coles has a lot of room for advancement in the future, and it is possible to achieve the rank of vice admiral or even admiral.

And in their expectations, the admiral was far from the top of Coles.

The eldest son of the Charlotte family even has the possibility of reaching the pinnacle of naval power.

That Admiral's position!

Just thinking about this possible prospect and future, the entire people of Rogge Town couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

Who would have thought that Rogge Town could produce such talented people in large numbers?

Of course, it goes without saying that the Pirate King Gol D. Roger died twenty years ago.

Now there is another Charlotte Coles who is growing rapidly. He is a rear admiral at the age of nineteen, and may even become a marshal in the future!

This honor made the entire people of Rogge Town feel proud.

……

Rogge Town, villa in the west.

Velcia sat on the rectangular dining table and ate a delicious breakfast as usual.

As the head of the family, Ronald, after struggling for a long time, chose a red tie and tied it, and finally walked down from the second floor.

The white-haired butler by the stairs saluted and led Mr. Charlotte to the head of the dining table.

Ronald, who had just entered middle age, had a mustache on his lips, black hair, blue eyes, and a vaguely handsome face.

Coupled with a gorgeous tuxedo and a brown cane inlaid with gold, in conjunction with the temperament cultivated during this period, he looked like a true aristocrat.

However, there is nothing wrong with the Charlotte family being considered nobles after regaining their wealth.

What's more, Ronald's son is still a very young naval lieutenant commander, which makes other nobles and wealthy people not dare to look down upon the Charlotte family.

Ronald first took a sip of hot milk, then picked up the latest news newspaper next to him and began to read it seriously.

However, when he saw the headlines of today's news, his expression was stunned, and he was unable to react for a while.

Wilcia didn't notice anything about this and continued to eat the food on the table.

Ronald looked at the familiar photo in the newspaper and looked at the title of the youngest rear admiral, still a little unbelievable.

Ronald quickly pointed the photos on the newspaper headlines at Vercia and asked his daughter to identify them.

"Look, is this your brother?"

Hearing this, Versia stopped eating meat, chewed it quickly and finished the meat in her mouth, and her chubby little face returned to normal.

Then, Wilsia's sapphire-like eyes stared at the photo without blinking.

After confirmation.

Velcia exclaimed.

"Yes! Well... Rear Admiral, my brother became a Rear Admiral!"

Ronald re-examined the inside of the newspaper and said: "I said it's not wrong, even the name is the same. However, it's only been a year since I left, and the rank has been promoted to rear admiral. It's a bit incredible!"

And after gradually accepting the facts.

Ronald even forgot to eat breakfast. The joy on his middle-aged face could not be hidden, and he began to pace around.

"Nineteen years old, a nineteen-year-old rear admiral, this is a great future!"

"My Charlotte family can be considered a proud ancestor in my Ronald generation. Can any baron, earl, or marquis compare to my son!"

"In the future, my son may be able to become the marshal in charge of the entire navy. Even if he has the title of Duke and the position of King, he will not be able to compare with my son!"

"But which is more glorious, the king's position, or the admiral's honor?"

for military rank.

Versia's knowledge was not that great. She only knew that her brother had been promoted again.

"Father, my brother has been promoted. He should be back from vacation soon, right?" Velcia asked while eating a red apple.

Ronald temporarily put aside his more successful thoughts of the king and the marshal of the navy, and turned to answer his daughter's question.

"Absolutely, but your brother is at the Navy Headquarters, which is a bit far away from our Rogge Town. It may take more than ten days to get back!"

"Oh." Velcia ate breakfast and began to look forward to the scene when her brother came back.

However, Coles' return this time obviously surprised his father and sister.

Two days later.

The newly promoted rear admiral of the Navy.

Charlotte Coles rode a majestic shadow dragon and landed in the open space of the villa to the west of Rogge Town.

This sudden huge movement caused the guards guarding the villa to panic, and they gathered around with weapons in hand.

But after seeing this behemoth, which was tens of meters tall and taller than the villa, they all felt a little frightened and didn't know how to advance or retreat.

Those huge black wings.

The body is covered with diamond-shaped scales, the head is as ferocious as a monster, and the tough and sharp claws are almost like a legendary ancient creature!

Why does this powerful ancient creature like a "dragon" appear here?

Then, the guards looked horrified and looked at them in disbelief.

A figure fell from the back of the black dragon.

He was a handsome young man nearly two meters tall, with broken black hair, blue eyes, and a rear admiral-level navy justice coat draped over his shoulders!

And this face.

The guards were very familiar with it. They had even seen the person in front of them dressed like this in the newspaper headlines a few days ago.

"Master Coles!"

"It's Master Coles!"

The frightened and alarmed expressions on the guards' faces disappeared and turned into surprise and exclamations.

Inside the villa.

Ronald, who was taking a nap, was awakened by the movement outside. While he was still wondering what happened?

The housekeeper has come over anxiously to report: "Sir, a black dragon has landed in the open space in front of the villa. Do we want to escape?"

Black dragon?

Ronald was shocked. He often read world news and newspapers, and he was aware of some things happening in the world. His knowledge had increased a lot, and he had no doubt about the possibility of the existence of this ancient creature.

The reason why I was shocked.

That's because Ronald had seen records and rumors in newspapers for more than half a year.

In the Kingdom of Walland, the world's largest tobacco country, it was because of the traces of the black dragon that wars and disasters occurred.

Therefore, there are rumors that the appearance of a black dragon will bring huge disasters.

But his son had just been promoted to rear admiral at the Navy Headquarters and was enjoying great success. How could a black dragon suddenly appear in his family?

Before Ronald could think anything, the butler exclaimed: "Master, it's the young master, Master Coles is back!"

"Are you sure?" Hearing the butler's exclamation, Ronald couldn't believe it.

The Navy Headquarters is so far away from the East China Sea. How did Coles come back so quickly?

The butler replied affirmatively: "Master, I am very sure. Master Coles is still wearing a navy coat of the rank of major general. He is at the door of the villa now. Let's get down quickly."

Ronald hurriedly walked out of the door, wanting to see his outstanding son who had returned home with a great reputation, but he quickly returned to the house without taking a few steps out of the door.

"You go down to entertain the young master first. I want to pick out a fitting tuxedo."

Ronald gave instructions to the butler, and then stood in front of the floor-length mirror, looking at his current clothes with a serious expression.

After a year.

When meeting his son who was promoted to rear admiral, Ronald felt that a solemn ceremony was needed.

So, Ronald, who had difficulty choosing, stood in front of the wardrobe and selected for half an hour, choosing a tuxedo and a tie...

finally.

Ronald was wearing a dark blue tuxedo, a brown tie, black boots, and holding a gold-inlaid sunken wood cane as he walked down the curved circular staircase with excitement.

Looking towards the hall, one could see Coles wearing a navy coat, sitting on the sofa and stroking Velcia's golden hair.

Velcia did not resist this, and happily ate the various rare fruits her brother brought back from the Grand Waterway.

"Father." Coles turned around and greeted Ronald cordially.

"Well, I'm back!"

Ronald spoke calmly and walked down the stairs unhurriedly. At the same time, he felt that his performance was very good.

This scene, where Charlotte Ronald and the son of the rear admiral, Charlotte Coles, met peacefully, is a world-famous scene.

But Coles was extremely helpless. His father still had difficulty in choosing, and he had to choose the right outfit before he came down.

"Father, this purple fruit is so sweet. It's the last bunch. Do you want to eat it?" Vilciya asked aloud.

"Okay, let me try it."

Ronald took the fruit and opened his mouth to taste this special fruit that was difficult to eat in the East China Sea. As soon as he bit into it, the pulp broke into pieces, and a rich sweetness burst out in his mouth, which was unforgettable.

"By the way, son, why are you back so soon?"

"Oh, I didn't come here on a warship. I came back on the black dragon outside."

"Brother, dragon meat, is it delicious?"

Coles:…

Ronald:…
