No. 45 GR.
Coles quietly watched the navy soldiers, whose eyes were dazzled by the beauty, receiving the property shipped from the Nine Snakes Pirates' ship.
As for Boa Hancock, she had already brought her other two sisters to the island to rest.
Coles had some guesses as to why the Pirate Queen came.
Based on the impression in your mind.
The three Snake sisters were once slaves of the Celestial Dragons. Rayleigh participated in the operation to rescue the slaves and can be considered one of their benefactors.
Now that Pluto Rayleigh has been made a scapegoat by him and the World Government has re-issued a bounty on his head, they probably came to check on Rayleigh's condition and see if he needs any help or something.
Coles didn't bother to care about this.
After all, there is no relationship between him and the three Snake sisters.
Coles was wondering how powerful this Pirate Queen was.
At the age of 18, Boa Hancock became the emperor of Amazon Lily and the captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates. She received a bounty of 80 million Beli on her first expedition, and then accepted the invitation of the World Government to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Now, ten years have passed, how powerful has this Pirate Queen become
Whether it is the plot in the pirates' impression or the current intelligence, there is basically no record of Boa Hancock fighting with all her strength, so it is difficult for Coles to guess and judge this.
Coles felt that his current fighting power was still not comparable to Boa Hancock.
His peak-level Conqueror Haki has just been awakened, and he can only perform simple releases. Boa Hancock must also have Armament Haki and Observation Haki, and she may even be stronger than him...
However, the level of strength and the outcome of the battle cannot be described so simply.
The outcome of the battle also has many impacts.
The level of combat power is only one of the factors; the battle also involves factors such as the coordination of abilities and moves, timing, fatal weaknesses, etc.
In the plot of One Piece, Crocodile, who is also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was eventually defeated by Luffy because he was extremely careless and exposed his weaknesses.
This is especially true in life-and-death struggles.
Even if one has the upper hand in strength, if he is careless or negligent and his opponent seizes the opportunity, he will be defeated.
…
The next morning.
After the three Snake sisters confirmed that Rayleigh did not need help, they bought a batch of supplies on the island and left with the Nine Snakes Pirates again.
Boa Hancock's departure made the naval soldiers and civilians on the island feel a little lost, but they quickly recovered and it did not have much impact on their lives.
It was evening.
66GR, Naval Station.
When it was time to get off work, Coles took out his sketchpad and began sketching.
With pencil outline.
The Pirate Queen's beautiful figure in cheongsam gradually took shape on the paper under the intersection of light and shadow.
As for Boa Hancock, Coles simply portrayed her with an attitude of appreciation for beauty, and he didn't have too many thoughts in his mind.
After finishing the sketch of the Pirate Queen, Coles put away the drawing board.
Then.
He began to examine his own emotions.
After seeing Boa Hancock, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the world, he was indeed a little agitated, but that was just a normal reaction.
But it was different when he met Nico Robin. He felt his heartbeat quicken involuntarily and he instinctively wanted to get closer to her.
Is this love
Coles couldn't come up with an answer for a moment.
As his eyes wandered, they fell on the Shadow Den Den Mushi on the desk.
When he sent Nico Robin away from Black Flame City, he gave her a Den Den Mushi so that Nico Robin could contact him if she had any problems.
However, apart from a brief call from Nico Robin after she safely returned to Alabasta, there has been no further contact since then.
Should I call her myself
Coles' fingers kept tapping on the desk, wondering whether to call Nico Robin's Shadow Den Den Mushi.
…
On the other side, Nico Robin, the vice president and supreme commander of Baroque Studio, was dealing with some things.
After finishing her daily work, Nicole Robin took a break, stood up, picked up a cup of coffee, and sat down at the round table by the window to read.
And on this round table, there is a very special black Den Den Mushi.
It was the Den Den Mushi that Coles gave to Nico Robin in Black Flame City.
Nico Robin observed the Shadow Den Den Mushi for a period of time and came to several conclusions:
1. This is not a wiretap Den Den Mushi. It can be used for conversations and its operating principle is the same as that of a normal Den Den Mushi.
2. Possession is an entity.
3. No need to eat, but still maintain some life characteristics.
Nico Robin found it incredible that Coles summoned the Shadow Den Den Mushi using the power of his fruit.
This Shadow Den Den Mushi is extremely confidential and is simply a secret communication artifact.
What a pity.
This is the other party's unique ability and cannot be applied to the Baroque Studio.
Under the Shadow Den Den Mushi, there was an old newspaper from three months ago. The headline read:
Black Flame City is destroyed!
The youngest rear admiral!
Nicole Robin had done some research on Coles's information. She knew that his home was in Rogue Town and he had a father and a sister.
He joined the navy two years ago and quickly stood out in the navy with the power of the devil fruit. After entering the elite training camp at the navy headquarters, his strength increased rapidly.
During his tenure in Rogue Town, he basically had no bad reputation, and the people on the island mostly praised Coles.
Why would a navy with such a bright future help her? Isn't she afraid of being discovered and punished by the World Government
Nicole Robin has always believed that there is no kindness in the world without reason.
Therefore, she was always wary of Charlotte Coles.
Except for contacting the other party once when it came back, Shadow Den Den Mushi never called again, and the other party also rarely called back.
This meant that the two people had not talked to each other since their first contact three months ago.
Nicole Robin sat quietly at the desk, drinking coffee and reading a book.
Next to it is the Shadow Den Den Mushi that has been silent for three months.
…
Chabaoti Archipelago.
Coles looked at the Shadow Den Den Mushi in front of him and slowly stretched out his right hand, but retracted his arm halfway.
Forget it.
Now let’s improve our strength first.
Coles warned himself in his heart, he knew that his current situation was not safe.
Since he was involved in the murder of the Celestial Dragon Carlos, once it is exposed, the World Government will do its best to capture him.
However, his current strength is still far from enough to fight against the World Government.
After temporarily putting aside the emotions.
Coles was thinking about how to quickly become stronger in this chaotic pirate world.
Since the night he killed the Celestial Dragon and awakened his peak level of Conqueror's Haki, Coles now has one more direction to choose from.
That is to control the domineering aura!
Once Coles can master this top-level domineering color, he will become one of the Four Emperors as powerful as Red Hair, and it will be no problem for him to fight against the admirals.
However, Coles had no experience in controlling this kind of domineering color, and he didn't even know what methods or techniques there were.
It was impossible for him to experiment on his own.
Now the World Government is tracking down the owner of this Domineering Haki. If you use the Domineering Haki indiscriminately and once the World Government notices it, all the careful plans before will be scrapped.
Now it seems that the only way is to ask for advice from seniors with domineering Haki.
Hmm... Pluto Silvers Rayleigh also possesses the domineering aura that is almost at its peak, so he should know a lot.
This is a great person to ask!
Moreover, the opponent's swordsmanship seems to be quite good.
In Coles's impression of the plot, Rayleigh was also a swordsman. After Luffy beat up the Celestial Dragons, he was evenly matched with the admiral Kizaru who came over with swordsmanship.
Now, Coles' swordsmanship has reached the level of a strong swordsman. Without guidance, the improvement is very slow.
If he could practice swordsmanship with the legendary Pirate King Rayleigh, he should be able to improve quickly and reach a higher level in swordsmanship.
We have to take 40 million Baileys from him every month, so he has to give us some guidance and instruction, right
This makes perfect sense!
Okay, it’s decided!
Coles made up his mind that he would use the power of the legendary pirate Pluto Rayleigh to quickly improve his strength.
