I summon the shadow army in Pirates.

Night assessment?

go to bed early!

After the assessment officer left, Coles suddenly thought of Major Kahn's last words.

After landing in Marinefando, Major Kahn kept a distance from them.

But Major Kahn was not like this in his image. When he was in Rogge Town, the major always made people feel close and gentle.

Even though nine months have passed, it’s impossible to change your personality, right?

This is a bit unusual.

Moreover, it was only five o'clock in the afternoon, but the major asked them to rest early?

Coles finally realized that this was a secret reminder from the major.

But this reminder is not for him, but for Dusky and Maude.

Just, let's see what happens in the afternoon.

Dusky and Maud didn't seem to understand!

……

The silver pocket watch given to him by his father was hung on a hook on Cole's wall.

When the time reached three o'clock in the morning, Coles ended his meditation practice and fell asleep.

The tiny second hand keeps turning, driving time to pass.

When the second hand goes around a circle and the hour hand and minute hand reach a straight line.

Coles woke up on time.

Because of the power of the Shadow Fruit.

Even if he sleeps for three hours, he can still be full of energy, which allows him to practice nearly twice as long as others out of thin air.

After washing up.

Coles walked out of the room and headed towards the nearest free canteen yesterday.

The navy headquarters has a large number of people.

In order to avoid crowding, there are many areas divided into areas. The area where Coles is now is the waiting area.

in this building complex.

There are four canteen buildings alone, which shows how many people there are.

After entering the cafeteria.

Coles found that there were not many people eating inside, so he went to the window to choose, and then brought half a table of breakfast to eat.

during the year.

His physical strength has undergone a huge transformation, and his food intake has gradually increased. This may be related to the rules of the pirate world.

There are even specially developed skills and abilities in the navy to restore life.

Want to get stronger.

First of all, energy is needed, and where the energy comes from, it is naturally obtained from the way the human body absorbs it from the outside world.

Eating is the easiest way.

In this big world of pirates, anyone with great strength has a terrifying appetite.

While Coles continued to eat, other people who came to participate in the elite training camp selection gradually walked into the cafeteria to eat.

The two companions who came with Coles also entered the restaurant one after another at this time. Maude and Dusky went to the window to receive breakfast, and then sat down opposite Coles' table.

"Did you find the leader of the assessment yesterday?" Mod asked.

"Yeah." Coles replied calmly.

Dasqi's fair face showed confusion, and she didn't understand Mod's question.

"What assessment chief? Aren't there still five days before the preliminary assessment?"

Coles sighed in his heart.

Needless to say, Dasqi's score in yesterday's assessment must have been very poor.

This is also very normal.

Dasqi's talent is not that great, her strength has progressed slowly, and her current military rank is only a Marine Corporal.

If it weren't for his diligence and hard training every day, he would be seen by Smoker.

Smoker would not waste his recommendation quota to let Dasqi, who was still just a corporal in the navy, come.

Naval branches and bases have an opportunity for recommendation once a year.

Smoker, who once graduated from the elite training camp, also has a spot.

Just not every year.

But there is only one chance.

This is also the reason why Dasqi came to the Navy Headquarters to participate in the selection.

As for Maud, who had been promoted to the rank of lieutenant in the Navy due to his daring to fight and charge, he was selected and recommended based on normal standards.

Mod explained: "Although it is said that the formal assessment will not take place until five days later, it is an elite training camp after all. It is reasonable for the opponent to not follow common sense. Didn't you notice it yesterday?"

After listening to Maud's story, Dusky pushed up her red-rimmed glasses and frowned.

"I was reading the biographies of famous swordsmen very late yesterday, and I didn't notice any instructors during that time. It was only later that I discovered that there was a female officer watching me at the window.

I was shocked and she asked me why I was so focused?

I talked to her about my dream. I have loved famous swords since I was a child. When my strength increases, I want to take back all the famous swords that have been stolen by bad guys.

After that, she said something strange. "

"What words?" Maud wondered.

"Well, she said that although my reflexes are very poor, she thinks highly of me and will give me some comments... Isn't she the assessment instructor you are talking about?"

At this time, after repeating these words, Dasqi suddenly realized something.

Maud was speechless.

So does Coles.

In the middle of the night, a female officer suddenly appeared. Dasqi didn't suspect anything and even exchanged dreams with the assessment instructor?

This clumsy IQ...

However, the female examiner seemed to appreciate Dasqi's unintentional remarks, and she might be able to pass yesterday's assessment.

However, this is also an uncertain factor, and a look of frustration gradually appeared on Dasqi's face.

"It took a lot of effort to get to the Navy Headquarters. Are we going to be sent back so quickly?"

Seeing this, Maude couldn't help but patted Dusky's shoulder and comforted her.

"Dasqi, don't be discouraged. You are still young. It doesn't matter if you can't enter the elite training camp this year. There will be many opportunities in the future."

Afterwards, Mod showed a hint of self-mockery: "But I am different. I am already twenty-seven years old this year. The screening conditions for the elite training camp are marines under the age of thirty. After failing once, you will not be able to come again within three years." .”

"I have no chance to wait, so I must take advantage of today's opportunity to enter the elite training camp."

Seeing the determined expression on Maud's face, Coles did not comment or encourage him. He just ate his breakfast.

Between geniuses and ordinary people.

There is a huge distance between them. How much effort do Maud and Dusky have to put in to reach his level?

Maude and Duski didn't pay much attention to Coles' silence.

After all, it is in their impression.

Coles is so cold and has always been so from the time he was a recruit to now.

"The screening criteria for thirty years old?"

At this time, Dasqi looked at the candidates at the table next to him with confusion: "But that person seems to be over forty years old, right?"

Coles looked up.

I found a slovenly middle-aged navy man sitting on the table next to him. He had a majestic figure, the muscles on his body exuded a sense of firmness like a rock, and his long black hair was extremely sloppy.

At a glance, one could tell that this marine was at least forty years old.

Mod explained that he knew a lot about the elite training camp.

"Of course, what I just said is just the normal way. If the candidate is recommended by a general-level officer in the headquarters, there will be no restrictions on age or anything else."

"Oh." Dasqi suddenly understood.

At this time, the basic conversation had been completed, and the two of them stopped talking and continued eating breakfast.

At the table next to him, the middle-aged man with wild black hair had begun eating crazily, at a terrifying speed.

The food piled on the table was quickly eliminated. This special sight immediately attracted the attention and discussion of some people in the cafeteria.

"This man's appetite is terrifying!"

"Why is it like a monster? Is this what's special about the Navy Headquarters?"

"Isn't he from a special race?"

Face the opinions of others.

The wild-haired man didn't pay any attention to it and continued to eat food crazily.

Some naval officers who knew the identity of this man with wild hair couldn't help but lower their voices when talking.

"His name is Veroch, he was recommended by the Navy's G5 branch base!"

"It is said that he recently obtained the Devil Fruit, killed a pirate who had a bounty of 50 million beli, and directly booked himself into this year's elite training camp."

"Don't mess with him. His rank is Lieutenant Colonel of the Navy, and I heard that he has a very bad temper. He has injured several sailors recently."

Although these sounds were small, Coles could still hear them.

Devil fruit user!

In the East China Sea, people with devil fruit abilities are extremely rare. Apart from Smoker, Coles, and Barbarossa, there are only a few people.

Unexpectedly, when I first arrived at the Navy Headquarters, I saw a new Devil Fruit user right here.
