Da da da!
Not long.
A handsome man named "Charles Coles" wearing a rear admiral's naval coat came with twenty patrolling naval soldiers.
"Charlotte Coles" first looked around, then drew the magic sword at his waist and suddenly rushed towards the mysterious man in black robe.
"Who are you?"
Ding ding ding!
The clear sound of swords clashing could be heard.
Matthew and the naval soldiers who arrived saw "Major General Coles" fighting with the mysterious man in black robe.
The battle lasted no more than a few swords.
The man in black robe knocked "Major General Coles" hundreds of meters away with one sword!
Those who were not unconscious were shocked.
They all knew that Major General Coles' swordsmanship was very strong and he had long been one of the best swordsmen. However, he was easily suppressed by the mysterious black-robed man in front of him and then knocked away with a sword
How advanced is the swordsmanship of this mysterious murderer who killed the Celestial Dragons
Is he a great swordsman
Coles, who was covered in a black robe, made a disguised old voice.
"Not a bad navy, but you are far from being able to stop me. My goal today has been achieved, so I will not clash with your navy."
Then, Matthew saw the mysterious man in black robe coming to the shore near the sea.
Then, he jumped down.
thump!
There was a clear sound of someone jumping into the water, and the murderer who killed the Celestial Dragon jumped into the seabed and disappeared in full view of everyone.
Not to mention the astonishment of others, Coles had already escaped from danger at this time.
As a devil fruit user.
Of course he couldn't swim.
All this was just a combination of his abilities, created to give the illusion that the murderer had escaped.
Not far from the shore, behind a huge rock that could hide his body, Coles had already summoned the shadow soldier Aaron.
When he was about to fall into the sea, he used his ability Shadow Swap to exchange his position with Aaron in a black robe.
The "murderer" was replaced by Aaron, who jumped into the sea in front of everyone and quickly escaped and disappeared.
It is common sense that people with demonic abilities are spurned by the sea and cannot swim.
The fact that he is not afraid of sea water proves that the murderer is not a devil fruit user, and suspicion will not fall on Coles, the user of this ability.
In addition, he, "Charlotte Coles", had an alibi and had even fought with the mysterious murderer in person, but was knocked away by a sword.
This is a murder case involving the Celestial Dragons.
Coles did not meet any conditions for murder, so he obviously could not be the "murderer"!
This was the careful plan designed by Coles.
At least he didn't watch Detective Conan for nothing, and now he can use it with ease.
After losing any trace of the black-robed attacker at the scene, Coles also began to let the awakened navy soldiers start to put out the fire.
The small powered rock explosive that Carlos threw out before leaving the mansion had an extremely large explosion range, and some flames even burned to surrounding areas, so it was necessary to prevent the fire from spreading.
On the way to put out the fire, "Charlotte Coles" passed by a big tree and her figure was obscured, and she temporarily disappeared from everyone else's sight.
Coles, who had been hiding nearby, used his shadow swapping ability again.
"Charlotte Coles", who served as the shadow substitute, completed the last part of the plan and turned into shadow power and disappeared.
After walking out from the big tree, Coles successfully took its place and began to put out the fire where the flames exploded.
The flames were blazing.
Makes a violent burning sound!
Fortunately, since this is the mansion of the Celestial Dragons, there are no civilians living nearby, and only some other buildings were destroyed.
The fire that broke out this time was so widespread that even the leaves and huge branches of the giant tree marked 74GR were charred.
This is still a very small kinetic rock explosive, and the effect it caused would be similar to that of a complete kinetic rock explosive. The island where the hotel area is located would have been completely blown up.
It's sad that in Coles's impression of the One Piece theater, the Power Rock Explosives would be called by Zephyr as a powerful weapon comparable to ancient weapons.
When the fire was almost out, two warships coming to rescue from afar finally arrived.
Boom boom boom!
The CP0 agent immediately performed the Moon Step, stepping out a wave of air and quickly came in front of Saint Carlos.
However, all he could see now was a corpse lying in a pool of blood.
Admiral Akainu also led the navy soldiers who had awakened from their coma down the warship and came to the side of the dead Celestial Dragon.
As the major general stationed in the Chabao Archipelago, Coles naturally had to rush over to report.
Looking at the navy man in front of him, who is three meters tall, wearing a dark suit, with a ferocious face, smoking a cigar, and a rose on his chest.
Coles had already guessed his identity.
After all, there was a photo of this admiral on the propaganda board of the Navy Headquarters.
"Admiral Akainu."
Sakaski glanced at the youngest rear admiral and a smile appeared on his face.
"Well, Charlotte Coles, I've read your information. You've grown very quickly, and you've killed a large number of pirates alone many times. I'm very satisfied with your fighting style.
I didn't participate in the last selection of elite navy officers because I was on a mission in the New World. How about you consider transferring to my command?"
Is this poaching
No wonder people say that General Kuzan and Sakaski are usually at odds with each other. With such behavior, it would be strange if the two sides could get along.
Coles raised his hand and saluted, then declined, "Thank you for Admiral Akainu's invitation, but I have no intention of changing my job now."
For Sakaski.
Coles just disagrees with O'Hara's way of doing things, which doesn't mean he necessarily thinks the other party is evil.
In today's great era of pirates, all kinds of vicious pirates emerge one after another. Adventurers like Luffy are a minority after all, and most pirates are engaged in burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil.
If there were no strong hawkish navy like Sakaski, the situation of pirate development would be even more rampant and unscrupulous.
"Um."
Since Coles chose to decline, Sakaski did not extend the invitation.
Next to the body of the Celestial Dragon Carlos.
The mysterious CP0 agent also began to ask in a low and angry voice: "Major General, can you tell me now why Carlos Saint died?"
Coles said calmly, "I was on patrol before, so I'm not very clear about what's going on here. Let Brigadier General Matthew answer this question."
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Brigadier General Matthew standing next to him.
Under the watchful eyes of Admiral Akainu and CP0 agents, Matthew felt a sense of pressure.
However, this pressure is nothing compared to the domineering aura released by the mysterious man before.
“Here’s what happened:
Our naval base received a request for assistance from the Celestial Dragon Holy Guard Carlos. Since Major General Coles was on patrol, I took the lead in leading the navy to provide support.
As soon as we stepped onto the island in the hotel area, we saw a huge explosion in 74GR, and a pillar of fire rose to the sky...
When we arrived at the scene, we saw a mysterious man in a black robe, constantly hitting the head of the Celestial Dragon Saint Carlos.
Then, the man in black robes did not delay any longer, and took out a flintlock and shot Carlos Saint in the head, and then fired eleven more shots in succession. "
After the words fell, Matthew could feel the anger of the CP0 agent, but he did not stop and continued to speak.
"After that, our navy wanted to surround and capture the murderer who killed the Celestial Dragon, but was stunned by the powerful Conqueror's Haki he released. Although I did not faint with my strong will, I was unable to take action at all."
As Matthew explained.
Everyone understood what was happening. It turned out that the terrifying domineering aura was released by the murderer who killed the Celestial Dragon.
Matthew continued, "Afterwards, Major General Coles came to the rescue with patrolling naval soldiers, but the mysterious man's swordsmanship was very high, and Coles was defeated in just a few rounds.
The other party said that today's goal had been achieved and they did not want to have any more conflicts with the navy, so they jumped into the sea over there and quickly fled. "
Um
Coles fights with the opponent!
Jumping into the sea is not for people with special abilities!
The following intelligence information led the CP0 agents to reject the speculation that Charlotte Coles was the murderer.
When he received the rescue call, he heard the guard who asked for help say that the enemy attacker possessed armed color domineering and powerful physical and swordsmanship.
In the Chabaotier Archipelago, Charlotte Coles possessed these characteristics, so he keenly suspected that it was the other party.
However, according to the analysis of known information, Charlotte Coles does not meet the characteristics of a murderer at all, and has many alibis, so it is obvious that she is not the murderer who killed Carlos Saint.
So, who is the murderer
