Ajin’s special news.

Coles keenly guessed that Ajin might be related to the William Pirates, but he had no way of knowing what the specific relationship was.

As the William Pirates approached, the originally relaxed atmosphere on the main ship became tense again.

finally.

The two ships slowly came into contact.

William led his fellow pirates onto the deck of Creek's main ship. His eyes first swept over Ajin's body. After confirming that Ajin was still alive, he gradually let go of 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 remembering correctly?"

Facing William's inquiry.

"Yeah." Coles replied calmly.

William glanced at the defeated Creek Pirates again and spoke out.

"It seems that you have made great progress during this period. You were able to defeat the 3,000-man fleet of the Creek pirate ship with just one patrol ship."

Coles was noncommittal.

"What are you, the William Pirates, doing here?"

Hearing this, William's heroic face showed a smile.

The next moment, he pulled out the saber from his waist and rushed towards Coles.

Coles was well prepared, holding a knife and colliding with the charging William.

The two knives rubbed violently causing sparks.

What followed was a constant clash of swordsmanship.

William had a smile on his face.

"I said before that when we meet next time, I hope you can personally take over my sword skills. It seems that you have not disappointed me!"

Coles tightened his grip on the knife.

Precise swordsmanship was performed, and every sword strike collided with William's swordsmanship attack.

"During this period, I have been training intensively on swordsmanship every day, just to shorten the distance between me and you!"

The naval soldiers at the rear were a little at a loss. They did not expect that Ensign Coles would fight with William from the beginning.

And their strength is low.

Facing a battle of this level, we can only wait for the result on the spot.

At that time at the port of Rogge Town, Coles faced William's extremely fast knife, and he deeply felt his own powerlessness.

After that, under the huge pressure brought by William, he began to train tirelessly at a high level, with the purpose of being able to fight back when he met the opponent.

After this period of growth, Coles' strength has also improved rapidly.

Today, it’s finally time to judge.

clang! clang! clang!

After clashing with dozens of swords, Coles jumped up, the muscles in his hands tightened, and the long sword slashed down with great force.

"Wind Slash!"

A few days ago, he used this sword move to kill Aaron, who had a bounty of 20 million beli on his head, which shows how powerful this sword move is.

After meeting William today.

This sword move was struck again.

The force of the strong wind became stronger and stronger, and finally fell with a sudden and extreme force.

Facing the sword slashed by Coles, William's expression did not change and he blocked the sword horizontally.

clang!

The strong wind spread to all directions, blowing William's robes.

But that was all, William knocked Coles back with a backhand knife.

"The progress of swordsmanship in less than a year is indeed rare and abnormal. However, do you think you can defeat me like this?"

After exiting for more than ten meters.

Coles charged again.

"Who knows?"

Main Ship Center.

The two men, whose swordsmanship has surpassed the average level of Donghai, are constantly fighting.

But as time passed, it became clear that Coles was suppressed by William.

Although Coles's swordsmanship was already top-notch in precision swordsmanship, William's swordsmanship was far beyond him and he began to suppress him easily.

This is not the iron-cutting realm!

It's a swordsman level!

Coles' expression instantly became solemn, but he was already prepared for this, and he was not much shocked or confused.

"Die!"

William was not prepared to keep his hand, so he accelerated his figure and slashed down with the long knife in his hand like a ghost.

"[Lanlos]!"

Following Cole's order.

A shadow knight commander wearing bright black armor and a red cape appeared behind him, and the long sword transformed from the shadow blocked William's fatal blow.

And Coles also took advantage of this opportunity.

The knife in his hand swept across.

After all, William is a master of superb swordsmanship, and his reflexes are extremely strong. He quickly retreated, and then his eyes fell on [Lanlos].

"This is your devil fruit ability!"

The pirate Adulun escaped.

The specific way in which Coles' Devil Fruit ability is demonstrated is naturally known to the other party.

Therefore, it was not surprising for William to see it.

Coles did not answer William's question, and joined forces with [Lanlos] to attack William together.

As a master of swordsmanship at the same level as a swordsman, [Lanlos] can very effectively contain William.

Coles also took this advantage to reverse the situation that was originally suppressed by William.

As for the William Pirates, the pirates were originally full of confidence in Captain William.

But with the appearance of [Lanlos], the situation changed, and I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Among them, the pirate Adulun, who had fought against Coles before, was filled with doubts.

Clearly, Coles was just a recruit with the same strength as him before, why did he improve so quickly in less than a year?

After Atton's death, Adulon also trained very hard, and now his bounty has increased to 10 million Baileys.

But facing the strength of Captain William, he still can't last more than a sword.

But Coles can fight with Captain William for so long, and they are evenly matched. This makes him a little unbelievable. Is it the talent of the evildoer or the devil fruit?

In Adulon's opinion.

It's both.

The black shadow knight is Coles' devil fruit ability.

In addition to the devil fruit ability, Coles' own swordsmanship is far superior to him. After all, Adulon has only recently entered the realm of precise swordsmanship.

Swords collide!

The sound kept ringing on the main ship.

The three weapons collided with each other, and the three figures also staggered from time to time.

Swish!

William separated [Lanros]'s shadow sword and stabbed [Lanros]'s arm with one move.

The shadow body was penetrated.

But [Lanros] felt no pain at all, and slashed down with the long sword in his hand.

Boom!

A huge crack was directly cut on the deck of the main ship of Klick.

William quickly dodged and observed [Lanros]'s gradually recovering shadow body. Thinking of the situation reported by Adulon at that time, he guessed that the shadow soldier might not die.

Coles used "Shave" to appear behind William and slashed at William's head.

The long sword in William's hand inserted into the deck, and his body dodged in a special posture, barely avoiding the attack, but a strand of hair was still cut off.

In the time when the hair fell to the ground.

William counterattacked Coles dozens of times. Although he was about to kill Coles, [Lanros] was already close, forcing him to turn around and defend.

The battle was deadlocked.

...

Ten minutes later.

William forced Coles and [Lanros] to retreat with a sword, and spoke confidently.

"A swordsman-level fighter is indeed good, but you must have some restrictions when you summon him to fight."

Coles did not answer this.

Because the fact is indeed as William said, although summoning the shadow can let [Lanros] fight for him, his mental power is constantly consumed, and he can no longer support the summoning for too long.

William said again: "I can give you a choice now, take your subordinate soldiers away, and I will not attack you again."

"Ajin is your companion!" Coles looked at the middle-aged man among the captives.

"That's right."

William admitted, and then continued.

"Originally, I was going to attack the Click Pirates today, but I didn't expect you to get there first. Release Ajin and you can leave."

Coles slowly exhaled.

He turned his head and looked at the pirate captives and subordinate navy soldiers behind him.

This scene seemed to take him back to the port of Rogue Town, when William threatened Major Kahn with new recruits to exchange for Jeff.

Finally, Coles's eyes returned to William and said seriously.

"Your proposal is good."

"But I refuse!"
