William Pirates arrive.
Ajin's special movements.
Coles keenly guessed that Ajin might have some connection with the William Pirates, but he had no idea what the specific relationship was.
As the William Pirates approached, the originally relaxed atmosphere on the main ship became tense again.
final.
The two ships slowly came into contact.
William and his pirate companions stepped onto the deck of Click's main ship. He first glanced at Ajin, and after confirming that Ajin was still alive, he gradually put aside his worries.
then.
Based on the battle situation at the scene, his eyes were fixed on the young naval officer not far away.
"Charlotte Coles, am I right?"
Facing William's question.
"Yeah." Coles replied indifferently.
William glanced at the defeated Click Pirates again and spoke out.
"It seems that you have made great progress in this period of time. You were able to defeat the 3,000-man fleet of the Click Pirate Ship with only one patrol ship."
Coles did not comment on this.
"What are you, the William Pirates, doing here?"
Hearing this, a smile broke out on William's face, which had a hint of heroism.
The next moment, he drew the sword from his waist and rushed towards Coles.
Coles was well prepared and collided with the charging William with a katana in hand.
The friction between the two swords produced violent sparks.
What followed was a constant clash of swordsmanship.
William smiled.
"I said before that next time we meet, I hope you can take over my swordsmanship in person. It seems that you did not disappoint me!"
Coles gripped the katana tightly.
Precise swordplay was performed, and each strike collided with the sword attack launched by William.
"During this period of time, I have been training my swordsmanship intensively every day, just to get closer to you!"
The naval soldiers in the rear were a little at a loss. They didn't expect that Lieutenant Coles would fight with William right from the beginning.
And their strength is low.
Faced with a battle of this level, all we can do now is wait for the outcome.
At that time at the port of Rogue Town, Coles faced William's extremely fast knife and he deeply felt his own powerlessness.
Afterwards, under the tremendous pressure brought by William, he began tireless and intensive training, with the aim of being able to fight back when he met the opponent.
After this period of growth, Coles' strength has also improved rapidly.
Today, the moment of judgment has finally arrived.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
After dozens of swords clashed, Coles leaped up, the muscles in his hands tensed, and the long sword slashed down with powerful force.
“Wild Wind Slash!”
A few days ago, he used this sword move to kill Aaron, who had a bounty of 20 million berries. This shows how powerful this sword move is.
After meeting William today.
This sword move was struck out again.
The strong wind became stronger and stronger, and finally came down with extreme force.
Facing the knife slashed by Coles, William remained calm and blocked it with his knife.
clang!
The strong wind spread out in all directions, making William's robe rustle.
But that was all, William fought back with a knife and knocked Coles back.
"In less than a year, your swordsmanship has improved to this extent. It is indeed rare and unusual. But do you think you can defeat me like this?"
After retreating more than ten meters.
Coles charged again.
"Who knows?"
Main ship center.
The two men, whose swordsmanship has surpassed the average level of the East China Sea, are constantly fighting.
But as time went on, it became clear that Coles was being suppressed by William.
Although Coles's swordsmanship was already top-notch in precision swordsmanship, William's swordsmanship far surpassed his, and he began to suppress him easily.
This is not the realm of cutting iron!
It's the swordsman level!
Coles's expression instantly became serious, but he was prepared for this and was not shocked or confused at all.
“Die!”
William was not going to hold back any longer. He accelerated his body and slashed down with the long sword in his hand like a ghost.
"Lanros!"
Following Coles' order.
A shadow knight wearing bright black armor and a red cloak appeared behind him, and the long sword transformed from the shadow blocked William's fatal blow.
And Coles took advantage of this opportunity.
The sword in his hand swept across.
After all, William was an expert swordsman with excellent reaction speed. He quickly retreated and then his eyes fell on Lanros.
"This is your devil fruit ability!"
The pirate Adulon escaped.
The specific way in which Coles's devil fruit ability was displayed was naturally known to the other party.
Therefore, it was not surprising that William saw it.
Coles did not answer William's question, but joined forces with Lanlos to attack William.
As a swordsmanship master at the same level as a swordsman, Lanros can effectively restrain William.
Coles also took advantage of this to reverse the situation where he was originally suppressed by William.
On the William Pirates' side, the pirates were originally full of confidence in Captain William.
But with the appearance of Lanros and the change in the situation, everyone couldn't help but feel worried.
Among them, Adulon, the pirate who had fought with Coles before, was full of doubts.
It was obvious that Coles was just a recruit whose strength was almost the same as his before, so why did his strength improve so rapidly in less than a year
After Atton's death, Adulon also trained very hard, and now his bounty strength has increased to 10 million Baileys.
But facing the strength of Captain William, he still couldn't last more than a single blow.
But Coles could actually fight with Captain William for such a long time and they were evenly matched. This made him a little unbelievable. Was it because of the evil talent or the devil fruit
In Adulon's opinion.
It's both.
That black shadow knight is Coles's devil fruit ability.
In addition to the ability of the devil fruit, Coles' own swordsmanship skills are far superior to his. After all, Adulon has only recently entered the realm of precise swordsmanship.
Swords clash!
The sound continued to echo on the main ship.
The three weapons collided with each other, and the three figures crossed positions from time to time.
Swish!
William blocked Lanros's shadow sword and stabbed Lanros' arm with one move.
The shadowy body was pierced.
But Lanros felt no pain at all, and slashed down with the sword in his hand.
boom!
A huge crack was cut directly on the deck of the main ship of Click.
William quickly moved aside, observing Lanros's gradually recovering shadow body. He thought of what Adulon had reported at that time and guessed that the shadow soldier might not be dead.
Coles used "Shave" to appear behind William and slashed at William's head diagonally.
William inserted the long knife in his hand into the deck, and dodged in a special posture, narrowly avoiding the attack, but a strand of his hair was still cut off.
In the time when the hair falls to the ground.
William counterattacked Coles with dozens of swords. Although he was about to kill Coles, Lanlos was already close to him, forcing him to turn around and defend.
The battle remained in a stalemate.
…
Ten minutes later, William fought off Coles and Lanros, but did not attack again. Instead, he spoke out.
"A swordsman-level fighter is indeed good, but there must be some restrictions when you summon him to fight."
Coles did not answer.
Because the facts are just as William said, although summoning the shadow can allow Lanros to fight for him, his mental strength is constantly being consumed, and he cannot support the summoning for too long.
William looked at Coles and said slowly: "I can give you a choice now. You take your subordinate soldiers away and I will not attack you again."
"Ajin is your companion, right?" Coles looked at the middle-aged man among the prisoners.
"That's right."
William admitted frankly and continued.
"I was originally planning to attack the Click Pirates today, but I didn't expect you to get there first. Release Jin, and you can leave."
Coles exhaled slowly.
He turned his head and looked at the pirate captives and naval soldiers behind him.
The scene seemed to take him back to the port of Rogue Town, when William threatened Major Kahn with new recruits in exchange for Jeff.
Finally, Coles's gaze returned to William and he said seriously.
"Your suggestion is a good one."
"But I refuse!"
