I summon the shadow army in Pirates.

The sea was calm.

The patrol ship moved forward unhurriedly.

On the deck, Kahn was sitting on a chair, drinking coffee and reading a newspaper.

Today's newspaper headline is that the World Government has arrested an undercover revolutionary army agent.

The reason for such publicity is that the Revolutionary Army is the only organization capable of overthrowing the World Government and is regarded by the World Government as the greatest threat.

Over the course of these years.

The revolutionary army helped impoverished countries that were plundered by pirates to repel the invading pirates, and assisted residents of countries that suffered from natural and man-made disasters to evacuate. Their ranks rapidly expanded, causing headaches for the world government.

Therefore, every time the World Government captures the revolutionary army, it will make a big publicity.

Kahn read the newspaper in detail and then fell into a long silence.

blu blu!

An extremely small phone bug sounded, but because the sound was so small, the other navy couldn't hear it at all.

……

patrol ship.

training room.

A huge barbell is being lifted up and down.

And the people who exercise here.

Of course it's Coles.

After completing a thousand reps of strength training, he switched to the leapfrog pose and placed the barbell on his back with his backhand to train the explosiveness and endurance of his legs.

As time passed, sweat began to soak through his navy uniform, revealing a strong and well-coordinated body.

On this patrol ship, Coles can already be called the most powerful recruit.

But he still felt it wasn't enough.

Because after fighting Yolon, the captain of the Giant Fist Pirates, he also understood his current strength.

Although he can now defeat pirates with about a thousand beli, he is still far behind William's strength.

If he only met William with this kind of strength, then he still couldn't stop the opponent's swordsmanship.

Training must be strengthened!

Get closer step by step!

Coles strengthened his belief in his mind, and continued to exercise even though he felt that his body was almost reaching its limit.

Because only by breaking through the so-called limit concept can he truly become stronger.

……

Time at sea always passes quickly, and there are only three days left before the end of the recruit period.

During this period, the patrol ship also encountered some small boats and arrested several young pirates with the slogans of "dream" and "freedom".

These young people were caught on the spot by the navy just a few days before they had even experienced their identity as pirates. It can be said to be extremely tragic!

Under Kahn's repeated education, these young people temporarily became handymen on the ship.

If they perform well in the future and nothing happens, they will also have a chance to become the navy.

And the current patrol ship is in the marginal waters of the East China Sea, near the windless zone!

The Windless Zone is located on both sides of the Grand Route, and the overall area is a strip.

They sandwich the entire Grand Line.

Just like a sandwich!

There is no wind or current in the sea area where there is no wind, and the entire sea surface is absolutely calm.

Most of the pirate ships are sailing ships powered by the wind. Once the sailing ship sails into this place, it will lose power and become trapped and unable to move.

Therefore, for pirates, this is a dangerous sea area that is almost impossible to navigate.

But the real danger in the Windless Zone is the super-giant Neptune species living here.

They are numerous and extremely dangerous, and it is rare for pirates to be able to compete with them.

It is precisely because of the influence of wind belts.

Therefore, pirates from all over the world must go to the Upside Down Mountain to enter the Grand Line!

Coles stood on the deck of the patrol ship, curiously looking at the sea area near the windless zone.

Under the sunlight, the blue sea sparkled, and in addition, fragments of the ship's hull could be seen from time to time.

These planks and hull fragments should have drifted out from the windless zone.

After all, many pirate ships mistakenly entered the windless zone due to the wrong direction of the Grand Channel.

The results of these pirate ships are self-evident. If you salvage on the edge of the windless zone, you will definitely find a lot of treasures.

But this must be done by praying for good luck and not encountering a super-large Neptune type.

The two sailors chatted with each other as they walked across the bow deck.

"So many pirate ships have fallen in the windless zone here. I wonder if there will be a legendary devil fruit? If I can pick it up..."

"I don't know if there are devil fruits, but I think there should be ghost ships."

"It's unlikely that there will be a ghost ship here, right?"

"How is it impossible? There are so many ships in the Calm Belt sleeping forever. Maybe a ghost ship will appear at night and directly capture your soul."

"Haha, are you scaring me?"

"I'm not scaring you. This is a story my grandpa told me. And didn't you read the newspapers from a while ago? They all recorded the appearance of ghost ships!"

"Why do I suddenly feel a little chilly behind my back? Forget it, let's not talk anymore!"

As the two marines moved away, Coles could no longer hear their voices.

Just, a ghost ship?

Coles couldn't help but fell into thought.

There were indeed reports in newspapers before, but the ghost ship appeared on the other side of the Grand Channel, and it should be unlikely to appear here.

In addition to the ghost ship, there are many mysteries on this sea, but only by truly solving the mystery can we see the truth clearly.

For example, rumors that the Great Channel Devil's Triangle swallowed up pirate ships were actually caused by Moonlight Moria's terrifying three-gallon ship.

Thinking of Moonlight Moria, one of the Seven Martial Arts under the King, Coles couldn't help but stretched out his right hand.

The power of shadow surges in your hands!

All Devil Fruits are unique. There are no fruits with the same abilities at the same time, only fruits with similar abilities.

The Shadow Fruit has the power to take away other people's shadows. Once the person who loses his shadow is exposed to sunlight, he will be burned to ashes.

And his Shadow Fruit can communicate with the power of the dead, summon the shadows of dead creatures, and turn them into shadow soldiers loyal to him.

I wonder which one is stronger or weaker between the Shadow Fruit and the Shadow Fruit?

However, Coles quickly put this problem behind him, because he was still too weak now and did not need to think about this problem at all.

What he needs to worry about now is the William Pirates in the East China Sea!

As a veteran force in the East China Sea.

The William Pirates definitely have the power to compete for the "Hegemony of the East China Sea".

If he wants to deal with such a potential opponent, his current strength is still far behind!

……

Dusk falls and night falls.

Today, since it was not Coles' turn to keep vigil, he meditated in the cabin.

It was about midnight.

The navy on duty outside issued an early warning, and the navy who were originally resting were woken up one after another.

Coles opened his eyes, picked up his weapon, and quickly walked out of the cabin.

When he came to the deck, he saw Kahn questioning the night watch navy.

"what's the situation?"

The navy soldier on night duty reported back: "Report Major, we found a ship in the fog in the distance, and the ship is slowly approaching us."

Kahn took the telescope and looked carefully at the fog over there. He could indeed see the increasingly clear shadow of a sailboat.

You know, that foggy area is a windless zone, and ships can come from there...

"Everyone on alert!"

Kahn gave orders to the navy on board.

"Yes."

In an instant, the atmosphere on the patrol ship became tense.

Time passed by minute by minute.

On the empty sea, the gray fog gradually spread outwards, and a strange-shaped sailboat slowly sailed out.

The strange thing is.

This sailing ship is very old, and the hull is even more dilapidated. It doesn't even have a sail, but the ship is sailing forward steadily!

This scene is too weird!

Suddenly.

Coles' pupils suddenly contracted.

Because he relied on the amplification brought by the Shadow Fruit to clearly see everything on the old sailboat.

At this time, on the dilapidated sailboat sailing towards them...

Not a single living person!

This,

Is this a ghost ship? !
