I summon the shadow army in Pirates.

Navy Headquarters.

It is surrounded by steep mountain buildings on all sides, with naval flags fluttering in the wind.

In a conference room in the superstructure of the headquarters, a meeting about the elite training camp is ongoing.

In the waiting area next to the headquarters, a lively event was also happening at this time.

Navy showdown challenge.

This kind of thing happens all the time in this place, and it wouldn't cause much repercussions.

But these are special times.

This time happens to be the time when the elite training camp is holding selections.

After learning that the person being challenged was Navy Lieutenant Colonel Veroch from the G5 branch of the New World, who was the scheduled navy for this elite training camp.

This incident immediately attracted a group of marines who came to participate in the selection. They walked towards the central open space one after another, wanting to see what Veroch's strength was.

Under the influence of the crowd, more navy began to follow and surround him.

"Who's challenging Veroch?"

"I don't know. I heard that he is a young navy from the East China Sea?"

"East China Sea? That is the weakest sea. Even if the navy there is recommended, the strength will not be much good, right?"

"Veroch is a lieutenant colonel in the navy over there in the New World. His military rank is equivalent to that of our headquarters. The ferocity of the pirates over there is not comparable to that in the East China Sea. The person who challenged him will definitely lose!"

After arriving at the scene of the battle, these marines began to talk to each other.

And this time.

In the center of the clearing.

Veroch was crossing his arms, quietly waiting for Coles to challenge him.

His brown-black skin was particularly obvious under the sunlight.

"Take it."

Coles took off the navy coat on his back and the silver pocket watch on his chest, and asked Dusky to hold it for him temporarily.

For Veroch from the G5 branch.

He didn't look down upon him at all, because he could feel the strength of the other party, and his aura was not comparable to that of the pirates in the East China Sea.

What's more, the other party is coming from the New World and will definitely be stronger.

He might have to use all his strength in this battle. These items on his body would affect his performance, so he took them off for the time being.

As for why the things were given to Dasqi instead of Mode.

That's because Mo De is a naval lieutenant and is not very familiar with him, so it would be more appropriate for Dusqi to hold it.

"Ah, yes."

Dasqi was stunned for a moment, but immediately took over Major Coles' coat and pocket watch.

As a subordinate, it is your duty to help with things.

After handing the things to Dasqi.

Coles wore a white navy uniform, with a long sword hanging in a white sheath on his waist, and slowly came to the center of the open space ahead.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment.

The surrounding chatter also gradually became quieter. They all stared at the two of them intently, wanting to see what would happen next.

at this time.

Veroch still kept his arms crossed, with a look of indifference.

"Send me your name and rank, although I don't care much about it."

Is this being slighted?

Hearing this, the corners of Coles' mouth raised slightly, revealing a small curve.

"My name is Charlotte Cole, military rank, Major, Naval Headquarters."

As Coles' voice spread.

The crowd of onlookers, who were originally calm, suddenly started talking.

"Major of our headquarters, isn't he from the navy over the East China Sea? Moreover, he seems not to be twenty years old yet. With this military rank..."

"Charol Coles, why does this name seem familiar... Well, isn't this the navy who also booked a spot for this elite training camp!"

"I didn't expect him to be the rising star of the navy in the East China Sea. It is said that he is also a Devil Fruit user. This will make the battle more exciting!"

During these days.

There have already been rumors among them about some reserved navy quotas.

It's just that Coles just arrived yesterday, so most people don't know him yet.

Originally this was a showdown without any suspense, but I didn't expect it to become so interesting now.

The candidates who have also booked spots in the elite training camp are all Devil Fruit users. Who is stronger and who is weaker?

For a moment, the onlookers' navy began to look forward to it.

"The rank of Major in the headquarters?"

"Devil Fruit Ability?"

Hearing the discussion of the surrounding navy, Veroch couldn't help lowering his arms, and his expression became a little solemn.

He thought that the other party was just an ordinary East China Sea officer, but he never thought that the other party would have Devil Fruit abilities like him.

but,

This is nothing!

Even if Coles is also a Devil Fruit user, how much growth can he achieve without the collision of powerful people?

In this regard, Veroch is extremely confident.

Because even if they are both devil fruit ability users, their abilities are still different!

"I was promoted from Donghai to Major of the headquarters. It turns out that this is the reason why you dare to challenge me."

"However, the New World is an extremely chaotic place, with turmoil happening every day. It is not comparable to the 'Weakest East China Sea' where you are."

Peng!

next moment.

The strength of Veroch's legs exploded, and he suddenly rushed in front of Coles.

At the same time, the thick arms arched, the muscle power exploded, and the heavy punch carrying strong wind had already arrived in front of Coles.

boom!

The impact of the fist exploded, blasting out a puff of smoke from where Coles was.

Perhaps it is because the oxygen in the pirate world is higher, or for some other reason, that when a powerful force explodes, it will always set off a burst of white smoke, just like the current scene.

The fight happened too fast.

Most of the onlookers' navy had not reacted before the collision had already occurred.

They quickly looked toward the center smoke, wanting to see the result of the collision.

With a breeze blowing.

The smoke and dust that blocked the view gradually dispersed, revealing the scene.

Surprisingly.

Veroch's powerful punch did not hit Coles' face, but was easily blocked by Coles' left hand!

Battle center.

Coles' eyes gradually turned cold, and then he clenched his right hand tightly, and the power hidden in his biceps exploded, slamming into Veroch's chest.

"So what if you are the weakest? Isn't that the symbol of peace in the East China Sea!"

A muffled sound came out.

Then a huge force was transmitted, knocking Veroch away like a broken sack.

boom!

In the end, Veroch's body hit the building wall dozens of meters away, and his figure was deeply imprinted in it.

This power...

Everyone watching the battle was a little surprised, perhaps a little unsure,

This is the power that a twenty-year-old can unleash.

a year ago.

Coles' strength is only pretty good, not that special. This can be seen from the amount of food he eats from the beginning.

But after eating the Shadow Fruit and doubling his daily exercise, his strength increased faster than before.

In the past few months, his body seemed to have broken through some kind of limit, and his strength began to skyrocket.

This is why his food intake has begun to increase suddenly.

Not far away, in the rubble.

Veroch stretched out his thick arms and dug his fingers into the wall to support himself up, and the gravel began to scatter away.

After standing up.

Veroch's face turned gloomy.

His messy black hair was covered with fine stone chips. In addition, there was some bright red blood on the hair at the back.

Being injured by a sailor from the East China Sea made him feel a great sense of shame, let alone in public.

The anger could no longer be suppressed.

Veroch took a step forward, and his blood flow suddenly accelerated. His originally strong body changed and began to become more majestic in a few seconds.

Hiss, hiss!

As his body grew larger, the white shirt on Veroch's body was gradually torn.

His head of black messy hair began to grow continuously from the original half meter...

That brown-black skin,

At the same time it became even darker.

On top of Veroch's head, two pitch black horns grew, looking like monsters!

Among the people watching the navy, some people recognized Veroch's Devil Fruit ability.

"It's the ability of the animal type Devil Fruit! And it's an ancient species that's rare in the world!"

"Animal type, goat fruit, ancient species, black goat form!"
