Coles waved.
The black shadow force appeared, and the six A-level shadow soldiers disappeared in the room, each returning to where they were required to guard.
After the shadow power disappears.
The scene fell into silence.
Coles closed his eyes and sensed the king's authority in his body. After thinking for a moment, he issued a call.
“Stand up!”
Two shadow soldiers appeared in the room, but they were not high-level shadow soldiers, but low-level shadow soldiers.
These two shadow soldiers, one is thin and the other is fat.
The thin shadow soldier on the left is 1.85 meters tall, about 30 years old, wearing a black suit, with short black hair combed back, a pair of glasses on his face, and a pair of Ten Blade cat claw gloves on his hands.
It's Clo!
When Cloe appeared, he immediately bent his waist to 90 degrees and bowed to Coles.
Two and a half years ago.
Captain Cloe became more and more famous due to his strong strength.
Under the relentless pursuit of the East China Sea Navy and bounty hunters, Clo became extremely annoyed and finally had no choice but to order his crew to drive the pirate ship to a remote doldrums to avoid the enemies.
However, near the doldrums, Clo unexpectedly encountered a naval patrol ship that encountered a ghost ship. He wanted to board the patrol ship to deal with the sailors on it, but found that all the sailors were unconscious, and only a young sailor was still awake.
At that moment, an idea suddenly occurred to Cloe, and he wanted to defeat Coles, the devil fruit user, and implement his escape plan, but he didn't expect Coles to kill him instead.
The tall and fat shadow soldier on the right has a black windbreaker draped over his back, a face full of flesh, and a conspicuous red beard on his chin.
It was Barbarossa!
Barbarossa also bowed to Coles to show his respect and loyalty.
Barbarossa was born in the Ottoman Empire. He was originally a down-and-out alcoholic who was addicted to alcohol. However, he became depressed all day long because of the prohibition issued by the new king.
Later, he luckily ate a devil fruit and became a drinker who could conjure alcohol. He sold alcohol in the kingdom. After many twists and turns, he was suppressed and hunted by the Ottoman Empire.
In order to seek revenge, Barbarossa joined the pirate group and spent several years becoming the captain of the Liquor Pirates with a thousand subordinates.
Later, Barbarossa wanted to recruit "Red Foot" Zhepu at the East China Sea Restaurant but was rejected. He started a war with the chef of the restaurant, but met Coles who was on vacation and was instantly killed by the powerful shadow soldier.
Coles glanced at Clo and Barbarossa, and his mind couldn't help but recall what he had experienced in the East China Sea.
He joined the navy at the age of seventeen. On the first day of reporting to the Rogue Town Naval Base, he encountered the William Pirates kidnapping new recruits and fought against the pirates Atton and Adulon.
He met Major Kahn, who had a feud with the William Pirates because he killed the pirate Atton. He trained hard during the recruit period, and in the third month he officially fought against pirates at sea and killed the captain of the Giant Fist Pirates.
Encountering a ghost ship near the Calm Belt, Major Kahn defeated "Lanros" who was controlled by the demon sword, but was seriously injured in the end in order to protect him.
Having just ended the danger of the ghost ship, he ran into Crow and the Black Cat Pirates again. He fought alone, using Major Kahn's famous sword Yu Jin to protect the unconscious navy and fought to the limit.
After waking up in the infirmary of the Rogue Town Naval Base, he lied and transferred his military merit to Major Kahn because he felt guilty about Major Kahn blocking the fatal blow for him.
During the vacation, the family went to a restaurant on the sea for dinner, but encountered the Liquor Pirates led by Red Beard Barbarossa. In the end, Coles had no choice but to appear and summoned shadow soldiers to deal with the Thousand-Man Pirate Group.
With his accumulated military merits, he was promoted to second lieutenant in the Navy Headquarters. He patrolled Rogue Town to prevent pirates from landing. At the same time, he did not give up training every night, constantly fighting against shadow soldiers to improve his strength.
…
Every incident seems to have happened yesterday.
As he joined the Navy, Coles's experience became increasingly exciting.
Today, Coles, a new recruit in the navy, has grown into the youngest rear admiral in the navy, possessing a powerful combat capability that rivals the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Clo and Barbarossa are quite powerful in the East China Sea, and have made a name for themselves in the weakest East China Sea. But compared with today's Grand Line, this strength is not worth mentioning at all.
Among the shadow soldiers, the strength rating of these two is only C-level, which is of little help to Coles' strength improvement.
Coles did not have any big ideas when he summoned Clo and Barbarossa, two C-level shadow soldiers, just to experiment with the power of authority.
The improvements and changes just obtained were all brought about by the passive power of the King's authority.
Since he took the initiative to use the authority of the king, he naturally had other abilities.
"What do you want to say?" Coles used the power of his authority to lift the restrictions on Clo and Barbarossa's speech.
Low-level shadow soldiers also have self-awareness, otherwise they would not be able to execute Coles' orders and take action.
It’s just that there are too many shadow soldiers. If every shadow soldier speaks, it will undoubtedly make the “king” in control feel annoyed.
Therefore, restrictions appeared and only high-level shadow soldiers were able to speak and communicate.
But after gaining control of the king's authority, Coles can use the power of authority to lift the speech restrictions on designated shadow soldiers, allowing low-level shadow soldiers to communicate verbally.
Clo has a high IQ, and because of his many tricks and careful plans, he was given the nickname "Hundred Strategies".
After the shadow body's speech restriction was lifted, his mind raced, and he bowed again and said, "Kro is willing to follow the king's footsteps forever!"
Barbarossa was able to endure humiliation for several years on the pirate ship and finally seize the position of pirate captain and manage a thousand pirates under him. Naturally, he was not a man without intelligence.
At this time, Barbarossa knew that he had to do the same as Clo, so he bowed again with a sincere expression.
"So did Barbarossa!"
The two C-rank shadow soldiers spoke, which proved that the power of authority was used successfully.
Coles understood and then asked, "Have your strengths improved?"
Clo shook his head: "Reporting to the king, my strength has not changed at all since I was alive."
Barbarossa said: "Reporting to the king, I can no longer develop the power of the Strong Liquor Fruit. I can only use the power I already had, so my strength has not increased."
Prior to this, Coles had also observed the Shadow Soldiers and he discovered that the Shadow Soldiers were indeed unable to improve their strength.
The essence of summoning shadows is to control the power of the undead and transform the shadows of dead creatures into shadow soldiers loyal to oneself.
The summoned shadow soldiers will retain the original abilities, clothing and weapons of the creatures, and possess materialized shadow bodies.
But these shadow soldiers will not become stronger with time and training, because this is the manifestation of the ability of Coles' Shadow Fruit.
However, the strength of the Shadow Soldiers is not really impossible to become stronger.
The authority of the king, as the core of summoning shadows, has a special way of improvement.
The king's authority controlled by Coles absorbs shadow power from the surrounding void every day and stores it.
He can use the power of authority to infuse the shadow power absorbed by the king's authority into the shadow bodies of the shadow soldiers, thereby increasing the shadow soldiers' current level and strength.
As for how much it can be improved, it depends on the shadow power absorbed by the King's authority and the current level and strength of the shadow soldiers.
However, Coles has just taken control of the power of the king, so he still needs to wait a few days for the power of the king to absorb some shadow power from the void before he can start the test of "upgrading shadow soldiers".
After taking Clo and Barbarossa back to the Shadow World, Coles left the room and continued with today's physical training.
Although he spent a whole night integrating and controlling the authority of the king, he did not feel tired at all, but rather full of energy.
Coles pushed open the door of the villa. It was already bright outside and dawn had arrived long ago.
A new day has begun.
