I summon the shadow army in Pirates.

Iai Knight's Elegy!

This was the first move Coles meditated, and he had been strengthening his practice over the past ten months.

It can be said that this Iai move is Coles' strongest sword move at this stage.

The body is slightly bent forward.

Shaped like a crossbow.

The postures of the waist and thighs are coordinated, and an explosive combination of strength is formed.

This move gathers strength and spirit into one.

Swish!

Faced with Coles' move.

William's face also showed a solemn look, and he also used Iaijutsu to attack.

In an instant.

Two sword lights, one blue and one red, appeared on the deck, eventually colliding and passing each other.

Coles and William had their backs turned.

Everyone watching the battle watched and waited nervously, and the atmosphere in the field fell into silence for a while.

呲!

A bright red stab wound appeared on Coles' chest, and the blood quickly dyed the white military uniform red.

This blow is a killing blow.

He suffered serious injuries.

And the other side.

On William's abdomen, the white shirt tore open, and a ten centimeter wound appeared.

same.

Blood seeped out of it.

Although it’s slow, it’s really hurt!

There is something incredible in William's eyes. His strength has reached the level of a swordsman. Is there anyone who can hurt him in this East China Sea?

How rare!

"I'm very happy to meet an opponent like you, but it's a pity that it's coming to an end!"

William took steps, turned around slowly, and with no more contempt in his eyes, he slashed at Coles with a violent sword move.

"No Wave Slash!"

A rushing blue sword light surged out.

Like the stormy waves on the sea, it rushed towards Coles unstoppably.

This is not a difference in swordsmanship moves.

This is the essential difference in sword power.

Facing William's extremely powerful sword attack, Coles did not turn around, because the demon sword was severely affecting his mind.

Want to completely control him.

His handsome face was wrinkled under the influence and control of this distracting thought.

The body was even temporarily unable to move.

At the moment of crisis, Coles' clear voice suddenly sounded on the ship.

"[Lanlos]!"

Behind Coles.

Shadow power surges.

A black knight wearing jet black armor and a red cape quickly appeared, it was the [Lanlos] who disappeared before!

"It is my duty to protect the king."

As the strongest knight who was once the Silver Moon Kingdom, [Lanlos] raised the black sword in his hand high and fought for protection once again!

"Silver Moon Slash!"

The black sword fell.

A dazzling sword light was slashed out.

Under the clear moonlight, this sword attack looked like a white crescent moon.

boom!

The two sword attacks collided.

Violent energy fluctuations spread out in all directions, and the intense white light forced the surrounding spectators to cover it with their hands.

Avoid eye damage from strong light.

The slash hit the center of the collision, and the wooden deck was shattered by the energy impact.

Before the light faded, William's figure had already charged forward and launched another attack.

And [Lanlos] also abided by his duties and guarded the "King" closely.

呲!

William cut off [Lanlos]'s arm with a knife, but his thigh was also cut open by [Lanlos]'s shadow sword.

next moment.

[Lanlos] The shadow body recovered and continued to fight William without any influence.

clang!clang!clang!

The swords continued to clash.

After fighting with [Lanlos] who was not afraid of injuries at all, William's injuries gradually increased!

You can't fight like this!

William felt a sense of urgency.

Because [Lanlos] relied on the immortal recovery characteristics of the shadow soldiers to still maintain peak combat power, but William's injuries were superimposed and gradually became serious.

Suddenly.

William's offensive turned around and unexpectedly attacked Coles, who was unprepared.

"Your devil fruit ability is indeed powerful, and the shadow soldiers have almost immortal characteristics, which is extremely troublesome."

"But you seem to have forgotten."

"As long as the Devil Fruit user dies, any powerful abilities will become ineffective."

When William's attack was about to come.

Coles opened his eyes suddenly, and the remaining trace of struggle disappeared from his face.

Shadow power emerged nearby.

A stout, red-bearded [Barbarossa] appears!

[Barbarossa] blocked the fatal blow for Coles, and his body was chopped into pieces.

But this does not have much impact on [Barbarossa], because the shadow soldiers are immortal.

"You also seem to have forgotten that I am never fighting you alone."

Coles abandoned the demon sword and instead used his shadow fruit ability to fight William.

The shadow soldier [Aaron] appeared behind William, and his sharp teeth suddenly bit William's shoulder.

If bitten by that terrifying bite force, William's arm holding the knife would definitely be severely injured, and he could only fight back with his elbow.

boom!

The powerful force hit [Along]'s jaw into a shadow.

But this also exposed William's flaws.

In front.

Coles seized the opportunity and raised his right leg, like a powerful crossbow ready to go, with the shadow power surging violently on it.

Then, his right leg kicked out suddenly!

"Shadow Meteor Kick!"

During this period of time, in addition to honing his precise swordsmanship, Coles spent most of his time developing and becoming proficient in the power of the Shadow Fruit.

"Shadow·Rising Dragon Fist" and "Shadow·Meteor Kick" are powerful attack moves he developed!

This extremely fast kick carrying the power of shadow made it impossible for William to dodge.

The kick hit William hard in the chest, and the powerful force directly kicked him dozens of meters away.

Flying upside down at extremely high speed.

William could no longer suppress the injury, and spat out a large mouthful of blood, which floated in the air.

boom!

In the end, William's figure smashed through the wooden wall of the cabin building and flew into it.

"captain!"

"Are you OK!"

Seeing this, the crew members of the William Pirates couldn't help but exclaimed and rushed there.

After a few breaths, William walked out of the broken cabin, with blood hanging from the corners of his mouth, and his chest heaving violently. He was obviously seriously injured.

"Captain, let's go up together!"

"Yeah, let's deal with this group of marines together!"

The crew members of the William Pirates spoke one after another, obviously feeling strong dissatisfaction with Coles for summoning multiple shadow soldiers to fight.

In this regard.

Coles showed no fear at all.

Because he has nearly a hundred immortal shadow soldiers, he is not afraid of group battles at all.

Just as the pirates of the William Pirates were getting excited and preparing to fight the captain together, a young pirate who was observing the sea suddenly spoke up.

"No, captain! Several warships are coming to the distant sea!"

On the naval soldiers side, someone also spotted the ship in the distance. After confirming the situation, they reported back to Coles with great joy.

"Second Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant Coles, Colonel Smoker brought people to support."

"Great!"

"There is hope for us to be alive!"

Several warships appeared.

The navy present immediately got rid of the gloom in their hearts, not to mention that these warships were personally led by Colonel Smoker.

"Don't worry about me, you go first."

The captured Ajin also knew the change of situation and immediately shouted to William.

William was silent.

The atmosphere at the scene became tense for a moment.

Vice-captain Jeff turned his head and looked at the warship in the distance. After judging the combat strength of both sides, he said anxiously.

"Captain, the situation is not good. Please retreat first and rescue Ajin later."

William was seriously injured at this time. If they were surrounded by Smoker and warships, the William Pirates would definitely fall here this time.

William sighed in his heart.

In the end, the only option was to temporarily evacuate.

"Charol Coles, today's battle ends here. Next time, I will rescue Akin again. Let's go!"

The members of the William Pirates quickly returned to their pirate ship and left before Smoker and several warships arrived.

With the disappearance of the William Pirates, Coles finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that he doesn't want to stop it.

However, the injuries on his body forced him to stop, and his mental energy was even more severely exhausted.

There is not much time that the shadow soldiers can maintain. If they continue to fight William, the situation behind them will be full of unknowns and unpredictable.

It would be better if the battle is temporarily suspended.

Next time I'll have a showdown with William!

It wasn't until Smoker approached with the warship that Coles took back the shadow soldiers.

After reporting what had just happened to Smoker, Coles went to receive treatment. After all, he was seriously injured in the battle with William and must be treated as soon as possible.

PS: Based on a reader's question, a bug in the shadow soldiers has been modified. Shadow soldiers are still afraid of sea water, and murloc soldiers cannot go into the sea.

The author did not consider this thoroughly at the time, and I am very sorry. If you find any other problems, you can mention them. (Shadow Soldiers retain their Devil Fruit abilities, but only maintain their normal combat power and will not be modified)
