I summon the shadow army in Pirates - Chapter 126

c121 champaigne isles

The next morning.

After Coles and his family finished breakfast and said goodbye, he rode the [Shadow Dragon] and left the villa. Just like his sudden return, his departure did not attract any attention from other people.

…

Above the sea in the early morning.

There were still wisps of clouds and mist.

In the sky, the huge [Shadow Dragon] spread its wings and quickly swept across the sea.

The news bird, which was also flying in the air, only felt a black shadow passing by, and then it was directly swept away by the strong wind and lost its stability. Fortunately, its wings flapped at a high speed, and then it regained its stability.

Although the flight was stabilized again, the hat on the head of the news bird was blown crooked, which made it angrily call out a few times.

But the [Shadow Dragon] had already disappeared in the sky, and the call was useless.

At this time, Coles was standing on the back of the [Shadow Dragon], reading the latest newspaper.

As for the money for this newspaper, he had just stuffed it into the pocket of the news bird.

Now, as a rear admiral of the navy.

Coles has just stepped into the upper echelons of the Navy’s power, so he should keep abreast of the changes in the world.

There is no big news on the newspaper. Apart from the conscription policy issued by the World Government, there are national conditions of various countries.

Coles put away the newspaper, sat down cross-legged, and entered a state of meditation.

The strong wind from the outside world can no longer interfere with his current spirit.

[Shadow Dragon] flew over the edge of the East China Sea, flew over the Calm Belt, stepped into the Grand Line, and then rushed towards the Sabaody Archipelago in front of the Red Earth Continent.

Because it is a high-altitude route, apart from the weather, there are basically no problems.

Time came three days later in the blink of an eye.

…

In front of the Red Earth Continent, near the Navy Headquarters, there is a very special island called the “Sabaody Archipelago”.

It is formed by the huge roots of the world’s largest mangrove “Archiman Mangrove” that have been exposed above the water.

Since the Sabaody Archipelago is the only way to the New World, many pirates, merchants and bounty hunters gather here.

There are actually two ways to reach the New World:

One is to make a request to the World Government, and then pass through the holy land of Marijoa at the top of the Red Earth Continent to borrow the passage.

This method is very safe, but it costs a lot of money and takes a long time to apply.

But except for the Seven Warlords of the Sea recognized by the World Government, other pirate groups cannot pass the review at all.

Therefore, these pirates can only choose another way, which is to wrap the boat with the resin of the Argiman mangrove, dive 10,000 meters, pass through a huge hole under the Red Earth Continent, and reach the New World through the “undersea route” Fishman Island.

This method is very dangerous, because in addition to the deep sea environment, there will be powerful attacks from the sea kings on the way.

Sabaody Archipelago.

Area 32, shore.

A wave suddenly appeared on the originally calm sea surface, and these waves continued to spread around, forming circles of ripples.

Some civilians on the shore were attracted by the movement and looked towards the sea area where the movement occurred.

Gululu!

The waves were rippling more and more.

Finally, the sea water in the center suddenly rose more than ten meters high, and with it, there appeared a large ship with the coating gone and the hull broken.

A pirate flag was hung on the mast of the sailboat, proving that it was a pirate ship.

The civilians on the shore couldn’t help but talk about it.

“What happened? Was the coating not coated well and was crushed by the sea water?”

“No, looking at the broken hull and huge dents of this pirate ship, it should have been attacked by the sea king!”

“It’s not that easy for the pirates to enter the New World. I expected this ship to fail.”

The Sabaody Archipelago is the end point of countless pirates in the first half of the Grand Line, and it is also the starting point for pirates to set sail for the New World.

Countless powerful and ambitious pirates want to fight in it, challenge the position of the Four Emperors, and compete for the legendary great secret treasure.

And on this dangerous deep-sea road to the New World, I don’t know how many pirate ships have been blocked and sunk forever. It is precisely because of this that the Sabaody Archipelago has another name.

That is the “Island of Failure”!

On this pirate sailing ship that was attacked by the Sea King and the hull was broken into two.

Some pirates have lost their lives because they could not withstand the underwater pressure, but some pirates with good strength still survived tenaciously.

Cough cough cough!

A middle-aged man with yellow hair and wearing a pirate coat was kneeling on the deck with limp legs and coughing non-stop.

He is the captain of this “Yellow Hair Pirate Group”, Dicky, with a bounty of 50 million Baileys.

The reason for taking this simple pirate group’s name, in addition to his yellow hair, is that he wants to become a powerful Four Emperors like the Red Hair Pirate Group.

At the moment when the coating was completed and a high-spirited declaration was issued, Dicky had already imagined in his mind that when he arrived at Fishman Island, it didn’t matter whether he robbed money or not, but he had to rob a dozen beautiful mermaids as his companions first.

After that, they stepped into the New World, escaped the pursuit of the navy, challenged Red-Haired Shanks, and replaced him, making the name of the new Four Emperors Yellow-Haired Pirates resound throughout the world…

But before they reached Fishman Island, and just on the way to the deep sea, a huge sea king appeared and attacked.

The terrifying sea king easily smashed the coated ship, and then threw it up fiercely!

Then, it was the scene that everyone saw.

Dicky felt a burst of anger in his heart.

It was just a mere sea king, but he dared not give his yellow-haired pirate group face, and instead almost destroyed his entire group. It was so abominable!

Cough cough!

The salty sea water choked Dicky in his chest and abdomen, forcing him to continue coughing.

After gradually waking up from the brink of death, Dicky could also hear the people on the shore talking.

Failed pirate! Not even ten minutes in the water! The bottom of the pirate group!

Listening to these discussions and ridicules.

Dicky’s fantasy and anger that was originally broken by the sea king immediately found a vent point.

He slowly stood up.

He took out the flintlock rifle from his waist.

Bang!

A lead bullet shot out and directly pierced the thigh of a civilian onlooker, and blood seeped out on his blue pants.

“Ah!”

The civilian man hit by the bullet couldn’t help but let out a wail, hugged his thigh and cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

The gunshot caused some people to scream, and also stopped the discussion on the shore.

Dicky pointed the flintlock at the civilians watching on the shore and roared with a ferocious face.

“I am the yellow-haired Dicky, how could I fail! I am in a bad mood today, so many of you must die.”

Bang!

Another bullet was fired.

However, perhaps because he had just recovered from the pressure of the deep sea and his attention was not focused, Dicky’s shot did not kill anyone, but only injured a woman’s arm.

“Ah!”

“The pirates are going to kill people!”

“Help, help! Find the navy quickly!”

After discovering that Dicky had the idea of ​​killing people and shot civilians with guns.

The original crowd immediately began to scream and flee and ask for help from the navy in a hurry.

Dicky disagreed with this.

Because this is the 32nd amusement park area of ​​the Sabaody Archipelago, although there are some naval patrols here, the other party will definitely not be able to get here quickly.

In fact, the pirates are not very brave to attack civilians in the Sabaody Archipelago, because that will cause a large number of navy to come and hunt them down.

There has always been a secret consensus on landing on the Sabaody Archipelago that as long as the pirates do not harm civilians, the navy will only come to arrest them symbolically.

This is the navy’s consideration from many aspects.

If the navy and the pirates fight and destroy here without regard for the consequences, most of the civilians in the Sabaody Archipelago will be injured.

If the pirates want to go to the New World from here, basically there is only one option, the submarine route.

And as long as they choose the submarine route, it must be full of dangers. Without the navy doing it themselves, the pirates will also seek death in large numbers.

The navy chose this method of saving its own strength and letting the pirates destroy themselves.

Although the pirates know this, it is better to have a chance than no chance, and basically they will abide by this consensus.

This is the way of survival that both sides almost tacitly agree on.

Otherwise, with the power of the World Government, the navy can completely build the Sabaody Archipelago into an indestructible fortress, leaving the pirates no chance to go to the New World.

But such a disadvantage has a great impact. Pirates who cannot go to the New World to find “one piece” will engage in full-scale war with the navy, and an endless war between pirates and the navy will break out.

This is obviously not what the World Government wants to see, so the Sabaody Archipelago has the current situation.

And Dicky is now going to break this default of hurting civilians. He knows that after he kills these civilians to vent his anger, his reputation will definitely rise.

There is no pirate ship, what is there to be afraid of?

The crew is almost dead, what is there to be afraid of?

At that time, he will raise his arms again, seize another pirate ship, and then he can re-enter the New World and seize the throne of Red Hair.

That’s right, that’s it!

Killing civilians on the shore to vent anger, enhance reputation, and reorganize a new pirate group.

And there is another reason why he dares to do this, that is, the lesson learned from the past. Some time ago, the pirate Crazy Fang Remus killed the garrisoned major general here, and the bounty was raised to 200 million.

Unfortunately, Crazy Fang Remus was just a coward. He ran to Black Flame City to avoid disaster and was eventually killed by the navy. If he broke into the new world with this momentum, he might have made a name for himself.

“This world will eventually be the turn of my yellow-haired Dicky to become famous!”

Dicky began to take out another flintlock rifle, with a ferocious sneer on his face, ready to give these civilians a series of blood flowers.

As for the navy, it is impossible for them to come so soon.

These civilians may have their own families, a good life, and a desire to continue living, but what does this have to do with Dicky?

He Dicky is a pirate!

Pirates are to burn, kill, rob, and do all kinds of evil. What’s the big deal about Sha killing some civilians!

Get ready to die!

However, Dicky’s movements suddenly paused, because he felt that the sky suddenly darkened a lot.

This made him confused and didn’t know what was going on.

He looked up.

Dicky’s eyes became dull in an instant.

It was a huge black dragon of several dozen meters, with sharp and hard claws that made people tremble with fear, and its narrow wings blocked a lot of light, bringing people a mountain-like pressure.

How could such an ancient creature appear here?

However, this was not what scared Dicky the most.

After seeing the black-haired young man wearing a major general-level navy coat on the back of the black dragon, Dicky’s face suddenly became horrified.

It was like falling into an ice cellar!

Dickie was familiar with the appearance of this young navy major general, because he had seen his photo in the newspaper recently.

The new major general of the navy, Charlotte Coles!

But why did he suddenly appear here?

The black dragon stopped at the empty shore, making a dull landing sound, attracting everyone’s attention.

Coles turned his head and looked at Dickie: “Tell me, what’s your name?”
