I summon the shadow army in Pirates.

Rumble!

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by lightning and thunder, which seemed to indicate that greater storms were coming.

Holding a "black umbrella" in his hand, Coles slowly came to the villa in the west of Rogge Town.

The villa looks blue and white on the outside, covers an area of ​​several hundred meters, and has a separate grass garden and pool inside, which is very spacious and luxurious.

The outermost part is surrounded by a black iron fence, and the gate is also guarded by smart guards, so the security factor is extremely high.

With the arrival of Coles, the iron outer door was opened, and the guard spoke respectfully.

"Welcome home, young master!"

Coles nodded slightly and continued walking along the smooth road.

After walking into the villa lobby, he took back his devil fruit ability.

The "black umbrella" disappeared in his hand!

In the villa, the most eye-catching thing is a white crystal lamp hanging from the top.

Directly under the crystal lamp is a ten-meter dining table covered with a red tablecloth. There are some murals and oil lamps inlaid on the walls on both sides, full of aristocratic and wealthy atmosphere.

This villa is Coles' new home.

And not so long ago.

The Coles family still only lived in the old neighborhood. The reason why they suddenly moved to a villa had to start a month ago.

Coles was born in an ordinary family.

His mother passed away at an early age, and his father worked in a brewery. The monthly salary he earned could barely sustain a normal life for a family of three.

The winery was on holiday that day, and my father thought about digging a cellar at home to store items.

So, his father took Coles to dig together at home, but after digging a few meters, he suddenly discovered a treasure box buried underground for a hundred years.

The treasure chest is very old.

As his father opened the box, he was surprised to find that inside was a huge treasure left behind by their ancestor, Count Charol.

In an instant, the Coles family changed from an ordinary family to a wealthy family, which is why they now live in a villa.

However, the biggest wealth in the treasure box is not the gold and gems, but the "Devil Fruit" contained in another small box.

Coles as a time traveler.

Ever since he was born into the world of pirates, he has been preparing to become a strong man, and he has already read the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book well.

Therefore, the first time he saw the Devil Fruit, Coles instantly recognized that it was an extremely rare superhuman Devil Fruit:

"Shadow Fruit"!

Coles didn't hesitate at all and swallowed the extremely unpleasant "shadow fruit" directly.

After that, he naturally gained the power to control shadows.

The black umbrella that materialized just now was the manifestation of his ability to control the Shadow Fruit.

As an extremely rare superhuman devil fruit, the power possessed by the Shadow Fruit is not simply to control shadows. Its greatest special feature is the ability to communicate and use the power of the dead.

Coles now has a special ability:

"Summon the Shadow"!

This ability allows him to summon the shadows left behind after the death of creatures and transform them into "shadow soldiers" loyal to him.

The summoned shadow soldiers will also retain the original abilities of the creatures, and can engage in substantial battles with people, which is very powerful.

This ability is very similar to the skill of the Shadow King in the Korean comic "I Level Up Alone" that Coles watched in his previous life.

Therefore, Coles also set up a password that was a bit embarrassing at first, but was explosive when heard later.

"stand up!"

Under the light of the crystal lamp, Coles's shadow began to change, and a unique black shadow appeared directly from it!

"Go and see if dinner is ready. I'm a little hungry." Coles ordered the summoned shadow soldier.

The black figure didn't answer, but turned and walked towards the kitchen.

In this regard.

Coles could only express his helplessness.

This shadow soldier was summoned from a dead homeless man. He would only act according to the orders given by the summoner and was very low-level.

If you want to have high-level shadow soldiers, you can only hope to encounter the corpses of those powerful creatures in the future.

……

Ten minutes later, dinner begins.

On the rectangular dining table, there are various delicious foods such as lamb chops, prawns, barbecue, stew and so on.

Sitting on the main seat was Coles' father, Charlotte Ronald, who was wearing a dark blue tuxedo with a bow tie at the collar, and he was full of energy.

Coles was sitting on the left side of the dining table, and sitting opposite him was a blond girl about twelve years old. That was his sister, Charlotte Versia.

Versia was wearing a white dress and had fair skin. She inherited her mother's beautiful face and looked a bit like a noble princess.

"Well, let's eat."

Seeing that everything was ready, Ronald said.

However, he couldn't help but reach out and fiddle with the tight tie. It was obvious that he was still a little uncomfortable with the status of becoming a billionaire from a commoner.

When Coles saw that his sister only ate a half-meter-long steak, he was a little confused and asked: "Why, you don't have the appetite to eat so little today?"

Velcia answered, picked up the knife and fork, and began to eat the huge steak on the dinner plate.

"My brother is going to be a recruit at the naval base tomorrow. I feel a little sad when I think about not seeing my brother for a long time... Hmm."

In the world of pirates.

Some special people have a huge appetite, and even several cows can't fill it up. This is the case for Coles's sister, Versia.

This is why, as a senior employee of the winery, his father Ronald’s previous salary was only enough for a family of three to maintain a normal life.

Coles comforted: "Recruit training takes three months. After becoming a formal navy, I will have time to come back."

"Three months, a long time!"

Vilciya was still a little disappointed, but because she was eating steak in her mouth, her fair little face bulged, and she felt a little cute.

"Don't worry, three months will pass soon. Then my brother will take you to Barati, the famous sea restaurant in the East China Sea, to eat the most expensive and delicious food there. How about it!"

"really?"

"Of course, how could my brother lie to his sister?"

"Great!"

……

After dinner.

Coles returned to his room.

Pushing open the door, it was dark inside. He skillfully reached out and turned the switch on the wall.

Hey!

A clear voice sounded.

There was also a bright light in the room.

This is the mainstream gas lamp in Rogue Town today. It is said that it was invented by a designer on the Grand Waterway. Although the light is not as bright as the electric lamp in the previous life, it is not much inferior.

In the Pirate World, the technology tree is very distorted due to the environment of each island and various factors.

Some islands are still in the most backward primitive era, while others have developed civilization and even some special advanced technologies...

This is already a somewhat common occurrence.

The furnishings in Coles' room are very simple. Opposite the bed is a black desk, and to the right is a huge wardrobe with a full-length mirror.

Other than that, there are just a few loose items.

After entering the room, Coles took off his upper body shirt and began to exercise.

Through the huge full-length mirror, you can clearly see his obvious muscle lines.

This is the result of his persistence in training since he was twelve years old.

Coles' current physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people, and can reach the level of tearing tigers and leopards alive. As for how far it can be achieved with the Shadow Fruit...

He didn't know very well, after all, he had never really fought against a strong person.

The reason why I chose to join the Navy.

It's not because Coles is so righteous.

It's just because it's safer to become stronger as a navy than as a pirate.

In today's era of great pirates, order is in chaos. If you want to protect your close family members, you can only keep getting stronger.

However, now that I have traveled to the world of pirates, I have eaten the superhuman "Shadow Fruit".

Then, he, Charlotte Cole, will try to climb to the top of the pirate world and see what kind of scenery it is!
