I summon the shadow army in Pirates.

As the saying goes.

One is born, the second is cooked.

When Pluto Rayleigh came to collect the money in the second month, Coles told him his brief request and started a sword fight with him.

clang!clang!clang!

The sound of swords clashing echoed one after another.

Coles is holding the demon sword Red Moon, and Pluto Rayleigh is holding a long sword, and they are competing in swordsmanship in a no-man's land under the night.

If other uninformed people saw this scene, they would think that Major General Coles had discovered Pluto Rayleigh, who was being rewarded by the government, and was engaging in a delaying battle with him, waiting for the Admiral to come over.

However, with Rayleigh's powerful power of knowledge and domineering sensing all around, the battle and transactions between the two would not be known to outsiders.

Coles' swordsmanship was only at the level of a swordsman. In this swordsmanship battle, there was no way he could compete with Rayleigh's swordsmanship.

He only knew that Rayleigh's swordsmanship strength far exceeded his own. As for how strong it was, Coles couldn't clearly judge.

Reilly looked at the sharp black knife with red underside in Coles' hand and praised it.

"This demon knife of yours is pretty good!"

"So-so." Coles.

Swords greatly improve a swordsman's strength, especially the demon sword Red Moon in Coles' hands.

On a full moon night, the demon sword can increase his strength. Although the effect of the increase has been greatly reduced after he entered the swordsman level, it is still an extremely rare and famous sword.

Coles said so-so, just modest words.

The two discussed each other and talked from time to time.

In order not to let himself be controlled by Pluto Rayleigh alone, Coles decided to tell some things to create a mystery for himself and let Rayleigh know that he also held some of his secrets.

"I remember that after the Nine Snakes Pirates landed on the Shampoo Islands last month, Boya Hancock, one of the King's Shichibukai, came to you. You probably didn't tell me that I killed the Celestial Dragon. "

Hearing this, Reilly's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly. He felt that this young man named Charlotte Cole was becoming more and more mysterious.

Needless to say, it goes without saying that he has a domineering and domineering spirit that is comparable to the peak levels of Roger and Whitebeard.

Regarding the meeting between the three Snake Ji sisters and him and Xia Qi, Lei Li had already used his knowledge and Haki to check around to make sure that no one was following him. Why did the other party find out?

Reilly knocked Coles back with a sword, a puzzled look on his face: "How do you know this?"

call out!

With the speed of shaving, Coles came closer again, and slashed down with the sharp sword force.

"There are many things I know, I just don't want to talk about them for the time being."

clang!

This ferocious knife was easily blocked, and Lei Li spoke calmly.

"It's really fun."

"You can rest assured that although I like young and beautiful girls the most, I am also a person who keeps my promises. Since I have accepted your money, I will naturally keep it secret for you."

……

An hour later.

The swordsmanship sparring battle is over.

Coles began to think about his shortcomings in the swordsmanship just now, and absorbed the subtlety of Pluto Rayleigh's swordsmanship.

Rayleigh, on the other hand, put his sword aside, sat on the grass, took out the silver-white wine cup from his arms, took a sip, and sighed.

"You have such power at the age of nineteen. You are really a 'monster' young man!"

Coles' eyes fell on the white-haired old man in front of him: "You can still exert such strength at the age of seventy-five, you are the so-called monster!"

Rayleigh continued to drink, "As you get older, your physical strength will still decline."

Coles said nothing, but he was thinking quickly in his mind.

In this world of pirates, although the top strong men can maintain their peak combat power, their physical strength will indeed decline with age.

Because of his old age and the heavy weight of Hailoushi's robotic arm, Mr. Zefa needs to take medicine before each battle in order to perform stably.

Whitebeard Edward Newgate needs infusion treatment due to his aging body.

These two are the most notable.

"Okay, I'll go back first."

Rayleigh drank half of the wine in his hand, stood up, put away the long sword, and took away the small box containing 40 million beli.

For instruction Coles swordsmanship.

Rayleigh didn't feel anything was wrong. Although Coles was now in the navy, it seemed like a stupid thing to help him grow...

But is this really the case?

Rayleigh couldn't help but smile.

From the moment the young rear admiral killed the Celestial Dragon with his own hands, the other party was destined to stand on the opposite side of the World Government.

The conflict between the two is only because the World Government now mistakenly believes that Rayleigh is the murderer.

But if this matter is found out by the World Government one day, then Charlotte Cole will have a real conflict with the World Government.

What Rayleigh is now helping to grow is nothing more than a huge future enemy of the World Government.

In addition, there was another reason why Raleigh was not opposed to coaching Coles in swordsmanship.

That's because Rayleigh himself admires Coles, a young man. If he wants to say why he admires him, maybe it's because Coles's behavior of killing the Draco is very handsome.

In this world, no one has dared to kill a Celestial Dragon like this for a long time.

……

After Reilly left, Coles also returned to his dormitory at the naval station to rest.

Things need to be done step by step, so today he just asked Rayleigh for advice on swordsmanship, and asked about Bawang color and domineering experience for next time.

Return to your residence.

Coles took a shower first, washed away the sweat from his body, and then sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate.

His swordsmanship has now reached the level of a swordsman, and the next stage is that of a great swordsman.

There are many great swordsmen in today's sea, such as Hawkeye Mihawk, one of the King's Shichibukai, Foil Bitas, captain of the fifth division of the Whitebeard Regiment, Vice Admiral Kuzono of the Navy Headquarters, etc. .

According to the information Coles knows, swordsmanship can be roughly divided into three major levels:

The first level, basic swordsmanship and precision swordsmanship, is a practice that focuses on "skills". Whether it is basic sword moves or powerful swordsmanship developed through meditation, they all tend to be "skills".

The second level, the iron-cutting realm and the swordsman level, is a practice that focuses on the "heart" and spirit. From sensing foreign objects to breathing and firming up beliefs, it is all about progress in this area.

Although the original "Lanlos" was a swordsman, his spirit was still not firm enough, and he was eventually bewitched and controlled by the demon sword, causing the tragedy in Silver Moon Kingdom.

The third level, the great swordsman level, requires the improvement of "power". This "power" is not simply strength, it represents power.

Hawkeye, known as the world's best swordsman, is so powerful in his swordsmanship that he can deliver powerful slashes with any random swing.

A hundred-meter-high mountain can be cut with just one sword, and a five thousand-man pirate fleet can be destroyed with just a few swords.

How to increase the "power" of swordsmanship.

Coles doesn't need to think about this yet, because the great swordsman is still a long way away from him, and he is still at the swordsman level.

in the following time.

While Coles was improving his strength, he was steadily stationed at the Chambord Islands.

The pirates who came here from the Great Channel would be quickly defeated by Coles, and the Celestial Dragons did not dare to come down from the Holy Land Marie Joa, which resulted in the Chambord Islands being basically safe.

However, the world will not stop changing.

Although the newly promoted Rear Admiral Charlotte Coles has brought about a wave of upward momentum in the navy, the era of great pirates has not ended.

Pirates continue to develop, and the number of pirates is gradually increasing.

In July, Zefa, who was already in a state of idleness, exerted his last efforts and proposed to the top brass of the Navy to form a "Pirate Guerrilla" to hunt pirates.

This plan was adopted.

Zefa led the students he taught before and formed a separate pirate guerrilla group to hunt the pirates that are now rampant in the sea.

And it was in this July that Coles received a phone call from General Kuzan.

"Regarding the incident of 'Al Dinah' in the East China Sea, the personnel we sent caught the other party after several twists and turns, and finally got the information."

Coles asked.

"Who is behind the scenes?"

There was silence on the phone for a moment, and then Kuzan's serious voice came.

"Al Dinah confessed that she came here on an assassination mission from the underground world.

According to what our Navy has spent many hours investigating, the man behind the underworld's bid to kill your family is...

The Quixote family! "
