I summon the shadow army in Pirates.

until the next morning.

Lieutenant Colonel Morgan, who set off from the Rogue Town Naval Base, led the warship to the sea restaurant.

Be prepared though.

But after actually seeing a large pirate group of thousands of people defeated at the scene, Lieutenant Colonel Morgan and other navy were still greatly shocked.

Coles will briefly describe the story.

But not much was said about the Shadow Soldier. It was simply stated that he was Redbeard who was defeated by the power of the Shadow Fruit.

After escorting the pirate prisoners of the Spirits Pirates onto the ship, Lieutenant Colonel Morgan boarded the warship and returned.

Coles, on the other hand, had to wait until the evening cruise returned to Rogge Town.

Near evening.

The sea restaurant welcomed another ship.

It was neither a navy ship nor a pirate ship, but an ordinary transport ship.

The ship was loaded with some wood and paint.

The exterior of the Sea Restaurant was severely damaged by yesterday's fire, and some decorative wood panels had to be replaced and the paint repainted.

After dinner, the cruise ship started and passengers began to return on the boat.

On the floating board of the sea restaurant.

Zhepu's right leg has been replaced with an iron prosthesis.

Everything that happened yesterday gave Zhepu a clear understanding of himself.

He is no longer a red-footed Zhepu with sound legs. If he wants to protect his restaurant on the sea, he can only use all his strength.

Zhepu suddenly felt hungry and shouted to the blond boy next to him: "Sanji, go make me some curry rice."

Sanji said calmly: "It can't be done. There are no more ingredients stored in the warehouse."

Ok?

Zhepu looked confused.

"Are you kidding! Doesn't the restaurant prepare enough ingredients every time?"

Faced with the old man's senseless anger.

Sanji was speechless.

"It's not like you agreed to let the Coles family eat for free. The little girl named Charlotte Versia eats as much as a 'monster' on her own, and she consumed all the extra ingredients by herself."

Zhepu gave Sanji a hard knock on the mind and said in a deep voice: "Coles saved everyone in our restaurant on the sea, no matter what kind of reward, it is natural.

Not to mention just eating all the reserved food in the restaurant, there is no problem even if his family eats and drinks for free for the rest of their lives, do you understand? "

Sixteen-year-old Sanji touched the big bump on his forehead and responded: "I know!"

Zep continued to growl.

"Now that you know it, hurry up and move the paint off the transport ship for me."

In order to avoid further beatings, Sanji quickly boarded the transport ship and began to carry the paint.

After moving out several buckets of paint.

Sanji's eyes also caught a glimpse of the disappearing cruise ship in the distance.

It's hard to imagine.

The person who defeated Barbarossa the Red Beard would be such a handsome young marine.

On the floating board below.

Zhepu was roaring in various ways.

"From now on, the sea restaurant will be temporarily closed, and you will renovate my ship immediately."

"We won't have dinner tonight until we finish painting the wall!"

"Sanji over there, do you hear me? Move the paint down quickly, or I will go up and kick you off."

What a damn old man!

Sanji looked away from a distance, and quickly removed the paint in order not to be beaten.

"I'm going to bed first. If I wake up tomorrow and see that the wall outside is still dark, you all should get out of here." After Zhepu finished his instructions, he walked directly into the sea restaurant.

What followed was a vast and troublesome renovation and renovation project by the chefs.

It has only one goal.

That is to bring the restaurant on the sea back to its original appearance.

……

On the cruise ship.

Both the crew and passengers on the ship felt very at ease at this time, because with Coles, a powerful navy who had defeated the Thousand Pirates, there would be basically no danger.

In order to continue to become stronger, Coles meditated and practiced in the cabin room until three or four in the morning before he could fall asleep.

All night.

The next day, the cruise ship returned to the port of Rogge Town on time.

After disembarking from the boat, the Charol family of three ended their sea journey.

Riding in a carriage.

The three returned to the villa in Rogge Town.

only.

When Ronald got off the carriage, he saw someone waiting outside the door of the villa.

This man had smooth features and a trace of righteousness on his face. He was wearing a navy uniform and a navy coat draped behind his back.

"You are……"

Ronald was a little confused and didn't know why this naval officer came here.

Coles, who came down from behind, was also a little confused: "Major, how did you know I was coming back today?"

Kahn explained: "I already know about the restaurant on the sea. I heard that you went there on a cruise ship. According to the time, you will be back in Rogge Town this morning, so I came to your door in advance to wait."

Coles was stunned.

Ronald on the side couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Who is he?"

Coles answered his father simply and clearly: "This is my direct commander at the Rogue Town Naval Base, Major Kahn."

Hearing this, Ronald immediately showed a smile on his face and quickly went to shake hands with him.

"It turns out to be Major, hello, hello! Thank you for taking care of my Coles. Coles has often talked about you to me these days."

Ronald's words were not false.

During the two days of vacation, Coles told his father and sister about his journey as a recruit and the upright lieutenant commander in front of him.

Kahn also politely stretched out his hand to shake Ronald's hand and spoke calmly.

"Hello, don't be too formal. I'm just here in a private capacity. I have some things I want to talk to Coles alone. Is that okay?"

Ronald quickly asked the guard to open the door and led the major into the villa.

"Of course, please come in quickly."

……

In Coles' room.

Kahn and Coles entered it.

"Major, your injury has healed?" Coles said his first words after entering the villa.

Kahn shook his head: "Not yet, but it has recovered to 50-60% and can move normally. It will take about two or three days to basically recover."

Coles understood, and then asked: "Then what is the purpose of the major coming to see me alone this time?"

Kahn came to the window and listened quietly to the sounds around him. After making sure no one was eavesdropping, he slowly closed the window.

Then, he turned his head and asked.

"You obviously killed Crowe. Why did you give me the credit for Crowe's death after you woke up in the infirmary?"

Coles took out the sketch he drew at sea and showed it to Major Kahn.

Kahn took the album.

He opened it with some doubts.

Inside the album, there are vivid sketches, including the sea, ships, Ronald who I just met at the door, and the little blond girl Velcia...

Coles answered Major Kahn's question calmly: "Actually, I don't care about military merit or anything like that."

"All I care about is my family."

"My military exploits in defeating the Giant Fist Pirates Yolon are enough to elevate me to a good status, but if I continue to add Crowe's contributions, I will definitely be noticed by the Navy Headquarters."

"Major, you also know that once I am noticed by the Navy, I will probably be transferred to the Grand Waterway Headquarters for training, which will make it difficult to take care of my family here."

"Because I want to continue spending time with my family here, I transferred Crowe's credit to the major."

After listening to Coles' explanation, Kahn raised his eyebrows and quickly found the problem.

"Then the official navy who has just finished his recruitment period has single-handedly defeated a thousand pirates. Wouldn't this be noticed by the navy headquarters? Don't you think what you said is a bit contradictory?"

Coles put his hand on his forehead and sighed: "This is also something I am very helpless about! After all, it was impossible for me to watch the red-bearded Barbarossa killing the weak and remain indifferent at that time."

Kahn fell silent for a moment.

After a moment.

Kahn looked directly into the eyes of the young man in front of him and spoke with great solemnity.

"Cols, I know you didn't lie, but there must be other reasons why you transferred Crow's credit to me."

"So, tell me!"

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.

Kahn's expression was very serious. He needed to know other reasons why Coles transferred military honors to him, because it was related to his secret mission of infiltrating the Navy headquarters.

If the real reason cannot be known, Kahn will always feel uneasy, which is also the purpose of his visit to Coles this time.

"As expected, I can't satisfy the major!"

After confirming the major's attitude, Coles sighed helplessly and did not hide it.

"There are many factors that influence the transfer of Crow's military merit to the major. What I just mentioned is just one of them."

"On the first day of the recruit period, it was the major who blocked William's fatal knife for me."

"In terms of teaching, whether it is behavior or teaching, you are a person that I respect."

"On the ghost ship, if it hadn't been for your intervention, Major, I wouldn't have been able to summon [Shadow Knight] and [Lanlos]. I will keep the Major's help to me in mind."

"If the major had not been injured, he could have easily killed Crowe. Moreover, it was the major's guidance at that time that allowed me to step into the realm of precise swordsmanship and finally successfully kill Crowe."

"And when I woke up in the Rogue Town infirmary, I learned from Mod that the Major fought against the entire Black Cat Pirates alone with his severely wounded body, struggling to protect us marines."

"My heart was greatly shocked!"

"However, after thinking about it carefully, Major, you are such a selfless person!"

"So, with gratitude and admiration, I finally decided to transfer the military merit to the major."

"If you want to be more specific."

"Major, you are the first hero I have ever seen in this world!"
