I summon the shadow army in Pirates.

On top of a building not far away.

A plain-looking naval officer was recording the combat scores of Coles and Veroch on the report board.

Next to this officer, there was a naval colonel with an upright look on his face.

"Kahn, I heard that he is a recruit you taught before. What do you think of him?"

Kahn considered his words and replied: "Charol Coles has a very high talent for swordsmanship and a very good understanding. He is a very rare genius."

"You were his instructor before he was a recruit. Do you have any other comments about him?" the officer who recorded the score asked instead.

"The other evaluations have been filled in before. If there is no change in his current personality, this is it."

Kahn replied coldly. His status as an undercover revolutionary army agent was sensitive. If he showed too close relationship with Coles now and was exposed later, Coles would definitely be implicated.

Therefore, the distant attitude of yesterday's landing was not only a reminder to Maude and Dusky, but also a statement to Coles.

"Are you sure it's gone?" the officer recording the score asked again.

"No." Kahn nodded seriously.

……

After Veroch was seriously injured and was taken away for treatment, the excitement at the scene gradually subsided.

However, the far-reaching impact that Coles stabbed Veroch will have is far from over.

"Major, your stuff."

After the battle, Dusky quickly handed the navy coat and silver pocket watch back to Coles.

"Cols, do you want to go to the infirmary?" asked Maud, who was following along.

"No, it's just a small problem."

Coles shook his head and refused, taking his things from Dusqi's hands.

Maud was speechless. One side of his face was covered with blood. Is this still a small problem?

"Thank you Major."

After returning the things to Coles, Dasqi bent at a 90-degree angle to thank him.

"No, I just want to test my strength through battle. I'm just helping you by the way."

Coles just glanced at Dasqi lightly, then turned and left.

"No matter what, thank you."

Das still bowed to Qi. She knew that Major Coles was a cold-faced and warm-hearted person who didn't like to accept thanks from others, just like the first time he encountered pirates as a recruit.

Coles, on the other hand, lazily ignored what Dusqi thought and moved forward on his own. He also began to think about what he had gained from this battle.

The biggest gain.

Naturally, he has entered the realm of cutting iron.

In addition, he also witnessed with his own eyes the combat power of the lieutenant colonel of the navy in the New World, which was completely unmatched by the lieutenant colonel of the East China Sea. There were also rare ancient species of animals...

After walking to the dormitory building.

Coles suddenly realized that the injury on his head was serious and needed treatment to stop the bleeding, so he turned around and looked for the infirmary here.

In front of the dormitory building.

Some of the navy who didn't know what was going on were a little confused as to why Coles' head was bleeding, and they all talked in low voices.

"Hey, what's going on with this young man?"

"He was injured, right? He looks a little weak!"

"I seem to have seen him before. He was a navy man recommended by the East China Sea. But now there are elites from all branches of the navy gathered here. It is normal for conflicts to occur and to be injured."

Faced with these discussions among the Navy who came to participate in the elite training camp selection.

Coles paid no attention.

After confirming the location of the infirmary, he walked towards it without stopping.

"I heard that there are several marines who have directly reserved places for the elite training camp this time. They are all Devil Fruit ability users. Among them, the navy's G5 branch Veroch's strength is very terrifying."

"I know this. Veroch has a bad temper. He even injured three or four marines who came for selection a few days ago."

"I heard that his Devil Fruit is a rare ancient species of animal. I estimate that he is the strongest one in this year's elite training camp."

In front of the dormitory building.

The marines were talking in low voices, and they also watched Coles disappear away from him.

After about a few minutes.

The news about Veroch's defeat by Donghai Xinxing also slowly spread back to the dormitory building, causing a burst of exclamations and discussions.

"You know, that Veroch from the Navy's G5 branch was defeated."

"Doesn't Veroch possess a rare ancient species of animals? How can it be defeated by someone with such powerful strength?"

"I was watching at the scene just now. The one who defeated Veroch was the Devil Fruit user from the East China Sea. It was the handsome young marine who came from the East China Sea yesterday. The battle was extremely fierce...

Finally, Coles pulled out the long knife from his waist and killed Veroch instantly with one sword move. "

Spike!

An ancient species of animal?

After hearing this, the navy from each branch couldn't help but swallowed their saliva, a little in disbelief.

And this time,

They also recalled the Coles they had just seen, and were a little dazed for a moment.

I originally thought that the handsome young marine was weak, but I didn't expect Coles to be so strong!

"By the way, does Veroch have a younger brother? I heard he is a vice admiral. I wonder if he will cause trouble for Coles?"

"You're talking about Vice Admiral Vergo of the G5 branch of the Navy. He is a gentleman-like navy and he shouldn't cause trouble for Coles because of this."

"By the way, why is Mr. Vergo already a vice-admiral, and why is his brother Veroch still a lieutenant-colonel?" (Note 1)

"I heard that they were separated since childhood and met in recent years. Veroch was just an ordinary guard of a country on the Grand Waterway before, and he just joined the navy in the past few years."

……

Naval Headquarters Tower.

In the conference room on the first floor.

A group of Navy leaders are discussing this year's elite training camp.

Da da da!

Outside the conference room door, a colonel from the navy headquarters knocked on the door.

The on-site meeting is temporarily suspended.

Warring States looked at the adjutant outside the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

Adjutant Report: "Report, Veroch and Charlotte Coles, who are scheduled for the elite training camp this time, have just had a challenge showdown."

Hearing the names of these two Devil Fruit users, Sengoku couldn't help but become interested.

"Tell me."

"Yes." The adjutant who reported the report opened the report and read aloud: "At the beginning, the two of them fought each other with physical skills... In the end, the result of the battle was that Charlotte Coles used a powerful sword to kill Willow with one move. He defeated."

As the adjutant closed his mouth to report, the conference room fell into silence for a moment.

Ka Ka Ka!

"Hahaha, it's interesting. I was very optimistic about the navy of Charlotte Cole before. His strength is developing well." Garp continued to eat donuts and laughed to break the silence.

Subsequently, other vice admirals also expressed their own opinions.

"I didn't expect that all the rare ancient species with animal abilities were defeated. This Coles..."

"Is it a powerful sword? It seems that this young man's swordsmanship has already reached the level of cutting iron..."

"I checked his information, and he has only been learning swordsmanship for a year. He has already reached the threshold of the swordsman level. He is really talented!"

……

After listening to the comments of these lieutenant generals, Zefa also became interested in this young navy man named Charlotte Coles.

He took out the information about this young navy man from several files in front of him.

Name: Charlotte Coles

Sex: Male

Age: Eighteen

Join the Navy: One year

Rank: Major, Naval Headquarters

Special: Those with devil fruit abilities, the name of the fruit is "Shadow Fruit"

Good at: Swordsmanship

Zefa was also a little surprised by Coles' talent and strength.

An eighteen-year-old Major from the Navy Headquarters!

He is indeed a new star in the navy.

You must know that at the age of eighteen, he had only just participated in actual combat.

Zefa sighed for a moment about the different times, and then looked at the evaluation column.

Evaluation: His strength grows very quickly (Smog), his personality is cold, his heart is unruly, and he often disobeys orders. It is recommended to observe and polish (Kahn)

After seeing Smoker's name.

Zefa couldn't help but sigh in his heart, hoping that this young marine named Coles would not become the next "lone ranger" who disobeyed his superiors' orders.

……

Time passed quickly at the Navy Headquarters.

The time for the branch navy to come to participate in the training camp is also getting closer.

Four days, three days, two days, one day...

The evening of the official assessment is approaching.

All the marines preparing to participate in the elite training camp have already begun to rest and recharge their batteries to prepare for tomorrow's assessment.

Among them, Coles is the exception.

Because of the benefits brought by the Shadow Fruit, he basically has to meditate and practice until three in the morning before going to bed, and tonight will be no exception.

This has long become a habit.

After practicing meditation to three o'clock and consolidating Zhan Tie's swordsmanship, Coles began to sleep, waiting to take part in tomorrow's assessment.

Although the quota is reserved, this preliminary assessment still needs to be recorded.

After waking up the next day, the navy officers recommended by each branch were all taken to the place to take the assessment by the officers of the headquarters.

all the way.

Except for the scheduled navy and those who were particularly confident in their own strength, most of the rest of the navy were a little excited and uneasy, not knowing whether they could pass.

Among them, Maude and Dusky were the representatives who were in extremely uneasy moods.

Not long.

The officers of the Navy Headquarters led everyone to a huge, extremely empty room, which contained some specialized testing instruments.

Initial screening assessment for the elite training camp.

it has started!
