I summon the shadow army in Pirates.

(Updated first, revised later, a bit late)

Smoker suddenly asked: "How about it? Do you want to come and learn a lesson?"

On the East China Sea, the strength of pirates is basically skewed, and no one can make Smoker use his full strength.

Now that he heard that Coles graduated from the elite training camp and killed several pirates with bounties of over 100 million beliries, Smoker couldn't help but feel itchy and wanted to compete with Coles.

"Let's forget about the discussion for now. I just came back and I don't really want to do anything."

Coles shook his head.

In addition to being on vacation and not wanting to take action, it is also because I have dual dominators. With the ability to restrain myself, it is not very difficult to defeat Smog, a natural smoke fruit.

"Row."

Smoker continued to smoke his cigar and puff away. He had no idea that he had avoided a 50-50 fight in which the title would be taken away.

"Colonel Nasmogg, I'll go back first. Thank you for your help this year." Coles stood up from his seat.

Although he arranged for [Lanlos] and twelve [Shadow Knights] to protect his father and sister, he had troubled Colonel Smoker to take care of them before leaving, so he still needed to express his gratitude.

"Ah."

Smoker nodded noncommittally, with the same ferocious expression on his face.

Coles didn't pay too much attention.

Because he knew Smoker's character. Although Smoker had a ferocious face, he was a good person with a cold face and a warm heart.

……

After leaving the naval base, Coles returned to the villa.

At this time, the people of Rogge Town who were watching had also dispersed. Only a group of curious paleontological people were still watching and talking about the [Shadow Dragon].

Coles didn't pay attention to this and walked straight into the villa.

The purpose of letting [Shadow Dragon] continue to stay outside is to form a deterrent to outsiders and let people know how terrifying his abilities are.

If you want to take advantage of his family, you should first weigh your own weight and see if you are qualified to go against him.

How many lives do you have, how dare you come here to act recklessly!

This is the underlying message and meaning that Coles wants to tell others.

Passing through the hall corridor and stepping onto the curved circular staircase, Coles arrived at the third floor of the villa and opened the wooden door of his room.

Click.

The room is opened.

You can see the light of the setting sun shining in from the window, which makes people feel a little lonely.

Although my father had arranged for servants to come over frequently to clean the room, there was still an inexplicable feeling of lack in the room when no one was living there.

"stand up."

Coles walked into the room and gave a clear summons.

A black knight wearing black armor and a red cape suddenly appeared.

It is exactly [Lanlos]!

And behind Lanlos, there are twelve [Shadow Knights] also wearing black armor!

"Thank you." Coles said.

[Lanlos] led the twelve [Shadow Knights] to kneel down on one knee and said respectfully: "Follow the king's order. This is our bounden duty."

These thirteen shadow soldiers, with the "designated shadow summoning place" ability developed by Coles, always protect his family here.

At that time, [Lanlos] was the most powerful force in his hands, but in order to ensure the safety of his family, he still kept it.

Now a year has passed, and his strength has grown rapidly. Among the shadow soldiers summoned, [Lanlos] is not the strongest one.

However, Coles trusted the knight captain in front of him the most, because he had no grudges with him, and he was the one who made [Lanlos] regain his consciousness.

"Yes." Coles was not too polite with his shadow soldiers. After all, these shadow soldiers were his most sincere subordinates.

outside the villa.

At this time, [Shadow Dragon] had been watched by some people for a long time, and his eyes showed impatience. The beast's mouth filled with sharp fangs opened wide, and it let out a high-pitched dragon roar at those who were watching.

call!

With this roar, a strong strong wind whipped up, and the people who were still watching suddenly became panicked and dispersed like birds and beasts.

Seeing this, [Shadow Dragon] was satisfied and began to crawl on the open space of the villa to rest.

Coles looked at the scene outside and felt a little helpless.

High-level shadow soldiers have memories of their lives and have the will to think, but there are also some small problems, so they still retain some of their previous habits and dispositions.

[Shadow Dragon] is a shadow soldier summoned from the huge silver dragon. The silver dragon does not like to be watched by people, because it will make it feel dangerous, so it will roar to disperse the onlookers.

However, these effects were not very great. Instead, they made Coles feel that high-level shadow soldiers were not dead.

……

The second day of vacation.

Coles set up an easel in the room and sketched something with a pencil.

My younger sister, Wilcia, was sitting next to her while she was minding her own business, and began to look through her brother's picture album.

"Brother, what is this sunflower-like thing? Is it an island?"

"Ah."

"Wow, there are such islands in the Great Channel? It's so strange. So, is this rhinoceros named Hercules a human?"

"I don't know much about this either."

……

Velcia continued to look through it, and soon she found a sketch of Nico Robin.

On the white drawing paper, there are only two colors: light and dark.

But it is this light and dark color that makes the beauty of the woman in this painting shine through.

The refraction of light is just right, and the delicate nose, sexy lips, and bright eyes are vividly depicted.

Velcia thought this was a very good sketch drawn by her brother.

"Brother, this sister is so beautiful. Who is she?"

Coles turned his head and glanced at the painting in his sister's hand, and the figure of the other party seemed to appear in his mind again.

"Her name is Nicole Robin."

Velcia asked curiously: "Is she also a navy?"

Coles shook his head: "No."

Wilsia was a little confused: "Then what is her identity?"

Coles turned around, reached out and picked up an eraser-like object, and began to draw the prototype of the picture on the drawing board.

"A scholar, a historian."

"Oh." Versia nodded and continued to look through it, but unexpectedly found that there were more than a dozen sketches of this sister in the album.

"Brother, do you like this sister?"

Facing his sister's question, Coles couldn't help but pause.

Does he like Nicole Robin?

In fact, he is not very clear about this issue now. When he first met Nico Robin in the Kingdom of Valleland, he did not arrest her just because of his personal opinion.

Later, when they met again in Black Flame City, he began to feel that Nico Robin had a vague attraction to him, and people unconsciously drew closer to her. Perhaps it was because Nico Robin matched his inner aesthetic.

In short, he is not sure whether he likes it or not.

Looking at the unfinished sketch in front of him, Coles just answered perfunctorily.

"Brother, I don't know now!"

Versia tilted her head, looking at her brother's back with her blue eyes, wondering: "Why? If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it!"

Coles smiled slightly, reached out to rub his sister's head, and explained.

"This kind of love is different. It embodies a special emotion. It is not the love for family members or the love for food, but the love between a suitable man and a woman.

A more precise description is love. "

Velcia's sapphire-like eyes stared at her brother, then looked at her sister sketching on the drawing board, still puzzled.

"what is love?"
