I summon the shadow army in Pirates

Battle center.

The black shadow soldiers continued to fragment, then recovered, shattered, recovered...

The surrounding naval forces watching could not help but stare closely at the deadlocked scene in front of them.

One has amazing defense and recovery power, while the other seems to be immortal.

Who is stronger between the two?

The situation of the battle soon changed.

Because Veroch is obviously not a calm person.

After facing these strange soldiers who had been eliminated more than a dozen times but still could not be defeated, Veroch began to feel irritable and furious.

Veroch shouted loudly, and the sound spread throughout the area and echoed endlessly.

Immediately afterwards.

Veroch's dark figure, which was made of steel, changed, and the black horns on his head began to become thicker and sharper.

But Veroch's three-meter-tall body gradually shrank, and his arms wrapped with muscles turned into a shape similar to sheep's hooves.

The black hair on the whole body also began to become thicker, covering the whole body.

Eventually, Veroch transformed into a black goat with a height of two meters and a majestic body.

This is the beast form of his devil fruit power!

The black goats bred in ancient times were not the ordinary black goats we call today.

It was an extremely powerful creature, with great strength and astonishing speed. It had demonic abilities among herbivorous animals.

Uh-huh!

In an instant!

The black goat transformed by Veroch disappeared on the spot, and only an afterimage could be seen halfway.

Coles' expression changed.

A black shadow shield appeared in front of him.

At this time, the black goat that Veroch transformed into had rushed over.

boom!

The shadow shield shattered.

A powerful impact came from the black goat's head,

Coles' figure was directly knocked away.

Bah, bah, bah!

His footsteps slid on the ground for nearly twenty meters before he was able to let go of his remaining strength.

call!

Coles began to breathe heavily.

Although he launched his shadow shield defense in time, his body still suffered some damage in the face of Veroch's fast and powerful impact.

Uh-huh!

The ancient black goat transformed by Veroch charged in again.

Coles quickly used Shave to disappear, but the Black Goat was also very fast and directly changed the direction of attack.

then,

Coles' landing was intercepted.

boom!

This time,

Coles didn't have time to defend himself, he was hit by a huge force and flew backwards.

Suddenly.

Coles felt the energy and blood surge inside his body, and the five internal organs in his chest seemed to be displaced.

This feeling of being knocked away by a ferocious beast made him feel helpless to resist.

With a wave of his arm,

The black knight gun with a rounded top and a round bottom appeared and collided with the black goat that charged again.

The impact forces kept colliding.

Then, the black goat figure was pushed back, but this did not cause any damage.

The beast form of Veroch's Devil Fruit Black Goat has reached the speed of shaving!

Moreover, while possessing speed, the steel-like defense has not declined, making it difficult for the shadow soldiers to effectively block it.

The battle has no solution.

This was the thought in the minds of those watching the navy. They all almost thought Coles would be defeated.

However, even if Coles did not win, they would not show much contempt.

After all, Coles faced the powerful Devil Fruit ability of an ancient species of the animal system. Being able to fight Veroch to this point has already proven his strength.

But why doesn't Coles have a look of defeat on his face until now?

Everyone was a little confused.

Could it be that Coles still has a way to defeat Veroch's powerful Black Goat Beast form?

Battle center.

Coles stared at Veroch in front of him and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Veroch is indeed from the New World, and his strength is indeed impressive.

The Devil Fruit ability of the ancient black goat of the animal type makes Veroch fearless of harm.

If he had not left [Lanros] in Rogge Town, he might have been able to easily deal with the opponent, but now, the ability of the Shadow Fruit is basically unable to break through Veroch's defense.

However, he will not lose this battle.

Because Coles never relied solely on the Shadow Fruit to become stronger.

Fighting till now.

He hasn't even drawn his sword yet.

It's not that Coles can't draw his sword, he's just waiting for a suitable time to draw his sword.

After the recruit period ends.

Coles has already entered the level of precise swordsmanship, and then continued to stabilize and improve during the discussions with [Lanlos] and [Shadow Knight].

Now, there is only one bottleneck standing in front of him.

That's Zante!

After fighting William on the main ship of Creek, Coles knew deeply that his swordsmanship was not enough and he was not strong enough.

But how can we break through Zhan Tie?

Major Kahn did not teach this answer to everyone during the recruit period, because the state of Zhan Tie was still far away from everyone at that time.

Coles had no experience in this area, so he could only ask [Lanlos] for advice, but [Lanlos] was a great knight a hundred years ago after all, and his cultivation had improved over time, so he didn't quite understand this.

At that time, the only thing in front of Coles was to continue to meditate and practice.

On the way to the Navy Headquarters.

Coles was trying to break through, because he knew that he was definitely not the only genius in the elite training camp. However, his swordsmanship strength still could not overcome that bottleneck for a long time.

Facing the strong headquarters,

He should have felt tremendous pressure.

But when he reunited with Major Kahn at the port, his mood calmed down.

At that moment when his mood went from anxious to suddenly relaxed, he grasped a glimmer of enlightenment.

last night,

After a long period of meditation practice, Coles gradually understood what Zhan Tie was.

In this world, there are swordsmen who can cut through anything, and there are also swordsmen who can cut through anything in order to protect.

Stepping into the realm of cutting iron,

In addition to having a firm belief, you also need to understand yourself and feel the outside world.

And these, Coles has already done this with the increased sensitivity of the Shadow Fruit.

What he lacks,

Just an opportunity.

An opportunity that requires cutting iron and drawing a sword.

In today's conflict challenge, in addition to standing up for Dusky, Coles also wanted to find opportunities to use his sword in the battle.

And fighting till now.

The time to draw the sword has come!

"Thank you very much."

Coles' eyes became solemn, his body slightly arched, holding the white scabbard with his left hand, and the black handle of the demon knife with his right hand.

"Iai·Knight's Elegy!"

next moment.

Coles' figure disappeared on the spot.

Similarly, the black goat transformed by Veroch also rushed towards him.

Two black shadows passed each other.

Exchange standing positions with each other.

Bah!

The red sword light flashed.

On the dark head of the black goat transformed by Verochna, a hideous wound suddenly appeared, and a large amount of blood spurted out from it.

Draw out your sword and cut through the iron!

Coles stood tall and straight, with unusually calm eyes. He held the handle of the knife with his right hand and slowly put the black and red blade of the demon knife back into the scabbard.

Kaka!

The only sound heard at the scene was the clear sound of the knife being retracted.

When the blade was completely retracted into the scabbard, the ancient black goat transformed by Veroch also fell to the ground and could no longer maintain its animal form.

Transformed into his original body, seriously injured and comatose.

The whole place was silent for a moment!

The sudden end of the battle almost caught everyone off guard.

Veroch had already shown near-invincible power, so why was he suddenly killed instantly?

That kind of sword power?

"It's a powerful sword!"

An officer from the Navy Headquarters who practiced kendo recognized the power Coles had just displayed and explained aloud.

"Veroch's ancient black goat form has a defense as strong as steel, but there are swordsmen in this world who can cut through steel.

Zhantie, that is the name of the realm of a powerful swordsman, and is also called the essence of a powerful sword. "

Then, the naval officer showed envy in his eyes and spoke out.

"With Cole's swordsmanship reaching the level of cutting iron, he will be destined to become a swordsman in the future, because this is the most obvious dividing line between swordsmen.

As long as you cross the line of cutting iron, the road to becoming a swordsman will not be far away. "

I heard the name Jianhao.

Even though most of the people watching the navy are not swordsmen, they can't help but look envious. The combat power of those swordsmen is at least comparable to that of a major general!

Coles is still only twenty years old, and it is really difficult to foresee that his future achievements will reach that point...

Lieutenant General?

Or a general?

Suddenly.

The navy present seemed to have seen a rising naval star.

On top of the building not far away.

A plain-looking naval officer was recording the combat ratings 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 previous instructor, and you don't have any other comments about him?"

"That's my assessment."

"Are you sure it's gone?"

"No."
