I summon the shadow army in Pirates

Early next morning.

After Coles and his family finished breakfast and said goodbye, he rode the [Shadow Dragon] and left the villa. Just like his sudden return, his departure did not attract any attention from other people.

…

Above the sea in the early morning.

There are still traces of clouds and mist floating around.

In the sky, the huge [Shadow Dragon] spread its wings and quickly flew across the sea.

The Newsbird, which was also flying in the air, felt a black shadow blowing past it. Then, it was directly swept away by the strong wind and lost its stability. Fortunately, its wings flapped rapidly, and it stabilized its flight again.

Although it stabilized its flight again, the newsbird's hat was blown off its head, which made it call out several times in anger.

But the [Shadow Dragon] has long since disappeared into the horizon, so this call is of no use.

At this time, Coles was standing on the back of [Shadow Dragon], reading the latest newspaper.

As for the money for the newspaper, he had just stuffed it into Newsbird's pocket.

Today, as a Rear Admiral.

Coles has just stepped into the upper echelons of naval power. He still needs to understand the changes in the world in a timely manner.

There is no big news in the newspapers. Apart from the conscription policy issued by the world government, it is the national conditions of each country.

Putting away the newspaper, Coles sat down and entered a state of meditation.

The strong wind from the outside world can no longer interfere with his current spirit.

[Shadow Dragon] flew over the edge of the East China Sea, flew over the windless zone, stepped into the great channel, and then sped towards the Shampoo Islands in front of the Red Continent.

Because it is a high-altitude route, there are basically no problems except the weather.

Time blinked and came three days later.

…

In front of the Red Continent, near the Navy Headquarters, there is a very special island named "Champaign Islands".

It is formed by the huge roots of the world's largest mangrove "Yalch Mangrove", which are always exposed on the water, and gradually form an island.

Since the Shampoo Islands are the only way to the New World, many pirates, merchants and bounty hunters gather here.

There are actually two ways to reach the New World:

One is to make a request to the World Government, and then pass through the holy land of Mariejoia at the top of the Red Continent to borrow the passage.

This method is very safe, but it costs a lot of money and takes a long time to apply.

But with the exception of the Overlord Shichibukai recognized by the World Government, other pirate groups simply cannot pass the review.

Therefore, these pirates can only choose another way, which is to first wrap the boat with Argman mangrove resin, dive 10,000 meters, pass through a huge hole under the red earth continent, and pass through the "undersea line" fish The island of man arrives in the new world.

This method is very dangerous, because in addition to the deep sea environment, you will also encounter powerful sea king attacks on the seabed.

Chambord Islands.

Area No. 32, shore.

A wave of waves suddenly appeared on the originally calm sea surface. These waves continued to spread to all directions, forming circles of ripples.

Some civilians on the shore couldn't help but be attracted by the movement, and they all looked towards the sea area where the movement occurred.

Gulu!

The water ripples more and more.

Finally, the seawater in the center suddenly rose more than ten meters high, and along with it, a large ship appeared with its coating disappeared and its hull broken.

A pirate flag hung on the mast of the sailboat, proving that it was a pirate ship.

The civilians on the shore couldn't help but talk about it.

"What's going on? Is the coating not plated properly? Is it crushed by the sea water?"

"No, looking at the broken hull and huge dents on this pirate ship, it must have been attacked by a Sea King class!"

"It's not that easy for pirates to enter the new world. I had expected that this ship would fail."

The Shampoo Islands are the end point for countless pirates in the first half of the Great Channel, and also the starting point for pirates to set sail for the new world.

Countless powerful and ambitious pirates want to break into it, challenge the position of the Four Emperors, and compete for the legendary secret treasure.

However, on this dangerous road to the deep sea of ​​the New World, many pirate ships were blocked and permanently sunk. It is precisely because of this that the Chambord Islands have another name.

That's the "Island of Failure"!

On this pirate sailboat that was attacked by the Sea King class and the hull was broken into two pieces.

Some pirates lost their lives because they could not withstand the underwater pressure, but some pirates with good strength still survived tenaciously.

Cough cough cough!

A middle-aged man with yellow hair and wearing a pirate coat was kneeling on the deck with his legs paralyzed, coughing constantly.

He is Captain Dicky of this "Yellow-haired Pirates", with a bounty of 50 million Baileys.

He chose the name of this simple pirate group not only because his hair is yellow, but also because he wanted to become a powerful Yonko like the red-haired pirates.

At the moment when the coating was completed and the high-spirited declaration was made, Dicky had already imagined in his heart that when he arrived at Fish-Man Island, it didn't matter whether he grabbed the money or not. First, he had to grab a dozen beautiful mermaids to keep him company.

Afterwards, step into the new world, escape the pursuit of the navy, challenge the red-haired Shanks, and take his place, letting the reputation of the new Yonko Yellow-haired Pirates spread throughout the world...

But they hadn't reached the Fish-Man Island yet, and just on their way to the deep sea, a huge sea king appeared and attacked.

The terrifying sea king easily smashed the coated ship, and then threw it up!

Then, there was a scene seen in front of everyone present.

Dicky felt a surge of anger in his heart.

He was just a mere Neptune, but he dared not give him the respect of the Yellow-haired Pirates, and instead caused him to be almost destroyed by the whole group. It was really abominable!

Ahem!

Dicky had to continue coughing due to the salty sea water in his chest and abdomen.

After gradually waking up from the edge of death, Dicky could also listen to the discussions of the people on the shore.

Failed pirate! It didn’t even take ten minutes to get into the water! The bottom among the pirates!

Listening to the talk and ridicule.

The fantasy anger in Dicky's heart that was originally broken by the Neptune type immediately found the right outlet.

He stood up slowly.

He took out the flintlock gun from his waist.

boom!

A lead bullet was shot out and directly penetrated the thigh of a civilian onlooker. Blood seeped out of his blue pants.

"ah!"

The civilian man who was hit by the bullet couldn't help but let out a cry and fell to the ground holding his thigh in pain.

The sound of gunfire caused some people to scream, and also caused the discussion on the shore to stop abruptly.

Dicky pointed his flintlock at the civilians watching on the shore and roared ferociously.

"I'm Dicky with yellow hair, how could I fail! I'm in a bad mood today, so you must die a lot."

boom!

Another bullet was fired.

However, perhaps because he had just recovered from the pressure of the deep sea and was not concentrating, Dicky's shot did not kill anyone, but only wounded a woman's arm.

"ah!"

"The pirates are going to kill someone!"

"Help, help! Get the navy over here!"

After discovering that Dickie had homicidal thoughts and shot civilians with firearms.

The original crowd immediately began to scream and flee in a panic and asked the navy for help.

Dicky disagreed.

Because this is the No. 32 amusement park area of ​​the Shampoo Islands, although there are some naval patrols here, the other party will definitely not be able to get here quickly.

In fact, pirates don't dare to attack civilians in the Chambord Islands, because that will attract a large number of navy to pursue them.

When landing on the Shampoo Islands, there has always been a secret consensus that as long as the pirates do not harm civilians, the navy will only come to arrest them symbolically.

This is a multi-faceted consideration of the Navy.

If the navy and pirates fight and destroy recklessly here, most of the civilians in the Shampoo Islands will be injured.

If pirates want to lead to the new world from here, they basically have the only option of the undersea route.

As long as you choose the undersea route, it will definitely be full of dangers. Without the navy taking action, pirates will find their way to death in large numbers.

The navy chose this method of saving its own strength and letting the pirates destroy themselves.

Although the pirates know this, having a chance is better than having no chance, and they will basically abide by this consensus.

This is the almost default way of survival for both parties.

Otherwise, with the power of the World Government, the Navy can completely build the Shampoo Islands into an impenetrable fortress, giving the pirates no chance to go to the New World.

But this disadvantage has a great impact. The pirates who cannot go to the new world to find the "one piece" will have an all-out battle with the navy, and a non-stop war between the pirates and the navy will break out.

This is obviously not what the world government wants to see, so the Shampoo Islands have the current situation.

And Dicky now wants to break this default of harming civilians. He knows that after killing these civilians to vent his anger, his reputation will definitely increase.

There are no pirate ships, so what are you afraid of?

The crew is almost dead, so what are you afraid of?

When the time comes, he can regain his strength and seize a pirate ship, then he can invade the new world again and seize the red-haired throne.

Yes, that’s it!

Kill civilians on the shore to vent their anger, enhance their reputation, and reorganize a new pirate group.

And there is another reason why he dares to do this, and that is the lesson learned from the past. Some time ago, the pirate Kuangya Remus killed the major general stationed here, and the bounty was raised to 200 million.

It's a pity that Crazy Fang Remus was just a coward, and ran to Black Flame City to escape disaster, and was eventually killed by the navy. If he broke into the new world with this momentum, he might still make a name for himself.

"In this world, it is finally my turn to be famous as Dicky the Yellow Hair!"

Dicky began to take out another flintlock gun with a ferocious sneer on his face, preparing to inflict a series of blood splashes on these civilians.

As for the navy, it is impossible to arrive so quickly.

These civilians may have their own involved families, a good life, and a desire to continue living, but what does this have to do with Dicky?

Dicky is a pirate!

Pirates just want to burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil, so killing some civilians is nothing!

Prepare to die!

However, Dicky's movements suddenly stopped, because he felt that the sky suddenly became much darker.

This made him confused, not knowing what was going on.

Look up.

Dicky's eyes instantly became glazed over.

It was a huge black dragon that was tens of meters tall. Its sharp and hard claws made people feel frightened. Its long and narrow wings blocked a lot of light, giving people a mountain-like pressure.

How could this ancient creature appear here?

But that's not what scares Dickie the most.

After seeing the black-haired young man wearing a rear admiral-level navy coat on the back of the black dragon, Dicky's expression instantly turned frightened.

It's like falling into an ice cellar!

Dickey was not unfamiliar with the appearance of the young rear admiral because he had seen his photo in the newspaper recently.

The newly promoted rear admiral of the Navy, Charlotte Coles!

But why did the other party suddenly appear here?

The black dragon stopped on the empty shore and made a dull landing sound, attracting everyone's attention.

Coles turned to look at Dicky: "Tell me, what is your name?"
