I summon the shadow army in Pirates

for the rest of the time,

It’s all kinds of training.

Coles began to explore the armed color Haki. After mastering this new power, he continued to use and exercise it skillfully.

…

The sun rises and the moon sets.

The sun on the sea has risen countless times, and the moon in the dark night has set countless times.

It's still dark.

Coles led the students behind him to conduct running training in an orderly manner on the military school playground.

The darkness gradually receded, and the light illuminated the area, showing the training status of these students.

At the edge of the training ground, two-meter-high boulders were thrown down from above by the instructor.

Bang bang bang!

Coles' fist, covered in armor, exploded the stones one punch after another.

The gravel flew apart.

Finely broken stones fell to the ground, forming gravels of different sizes.

Not far away, some students were relying on equipment to exercise their physical fitness, but most of them were competing with each other to improve their combat experience.

This is the daily life of the elite training camp. Every student is working hard to improve.

Among them, Coles is the most dazzling, but other students are also working hard. Their growth rate is not as obvious as Coles, but they are also constantly improving with their accumulation.

When they come out of this elite training camp, they can all be called elites!

Military Academy, Chief Instructor's Office.

Zefa's not yet old figure was standing quietly by the window. He looked at the students below who had grown up in training, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"That's great!"

This last session was really good!

If you take off Zefa's sunglasses at this time, you will be surprised to find that there are still some dried tears in the corners of his eyes.

Yesterday, I dreamed of that scene again.

That stormy scene, that miserable scene, that powerless scene to protect...

He just held the wound of his severed right arm, hunched his strong waist, knelt on the deck of the newborn ship and cried bitterly.

For the Navy's once most powerful general, the injury of breaking an arm was nothing, and he was not likely to cry.

The reason why I cry bitterly is because of the self-blame in my heart, because of the sadness in my heart, and because of the guilt of being unable to protect the dead students...

That was his deepest regret and self-blame, apart from the death of his beloved family members.

Whenever he recalled it from his sleep at night, he would shed tears and suffer from insomnia, so he put on sunglasses to hide his haggardness.

There is no need to show the inner suffering and pain to outsiders.

The light of dawn tore through the clouds and mist, shone in from the haze, and fell into the office.

The sun is rising.

At this time, it was his turn to provide guidance and growth to these students.

Zefa turned around, his eyes fell on the calendar hanging next to him, looking at the numbers that were nearing the end, and then strode outside.

The white navy coat hanging on the hanger had not been draped over his shoulders for a long time.

The navy coat is a symbol of justice and the honor of senior officers. However, when exactly did Zefa stop wearing the navy coat as often as before?

I can’t remember clearly. It seems like it was after the death of my family member twenty-eight years ago, and it seems like it was after the loss of my beloved student five years ago...

Or maybe it's because a few months ago, after supervising the Navy's interrogation of cadets...

But none of that matters anymore.

He only knew that he had to teach the last elite training camp students well.

This time, no regrets!

Zefa's big and generous hands pushed open the office door and walked out majesticly.

…

…

After the early morning training, it was time for breakfast.

The atmosphere now is somewhat tense.

Because in half a month, this elite training camp will be over.

Coles walked into the cafeteria silently.

The spacious cafeteria is brightly lit, and there is a strong aroma of meat floating in the air.

Today we have a very special treat.

Navy curry!

This is a food that most sailors in the navy like, and its rich flavor goes well with meals.

Coles sat at the dining table and began to eat navy curry rice from the military school cafeteria.

The chefs in the military school cafeteria are naturally good at cooking. This curry rice has a mellow taste and the aroma of meat. It can be said to be a rare delicacy.

However, Coles still prefers to eat the navy curry made by chef Yafu at the Rogge Town base. Perhaps he is used to eating it in Rogge Town in the past year.

After breakfast, the cadets rarely gathered at the training ground for training. They all went to a classroom in the teaching building of the military academy.

As students who are about to graduate from the elite training camp, their abilities have improved a lot. Next is the time to be entrusted with important tasks and demonstrate their value.

Of course, the Navy is not forced to send them. They will also respect the wishes of these trainees and assign them positions.

Now it is for these students to fill in the places they want to go to next. To use Coles’ words from his previous life to simply describe it, that is:

Fill in your volunteer form!

The first thing you need to choose is the naval faction, or choose a side and team in the navy!

Currently, the three admirals of the Navy Headquarters have different factions. Akainu Sakaski is a radical hawk, Aoji Kuzan can be regarded as a peaceful dove, and Kizaru Porusalino represents an ambiguous neutral faction.

Coles looked at the form in his hand and couldn't help but fell into silence. Which one is most suitable for him?

The radical who chooses Akainu will inevitably encounter a lot of battles in the future and can meet many dead pirates. His shadow soldiers can expand rapidly.

However, Coles is not an extremist. In some aspects, he has a fierce conflict with Akainu's ideas.

Just say that when he met Nico Robin in the Kingdom of Valleland, Coles expressed some kindness instead of directly arresting her. This shows the difference between Coles and Akainu.

First rule out Akainu’s faction.

Aokiji's dovish attitude is more suitable for him in some aspects. He obeys the orders of the world government but has his own standards of judgment.

Kuzan believes that "justice" will have different opinions among people from different positions and will change according to their positions. Therefore, he will not question other people's "justice", but when others want to hinder his own justice, he will never Let the other person go.

Coles' philosophy is very similar to that of Aokiji, and this faction suits him very well.

However, neutrals can also consider choosing ambiguous justice and becoming a fisherman like Kizaru, maintaining their responsibilities while slowly increasing their power.

Choose a neutral faction.

Regardless of the subsequent work or anything else, it can almost be said to be very easy.

After careful consideration.

Coles' first choice was Aokiji's faction, and his second choice was Kizaru's faction.

As for the position he wants to hold, Coles wants to return to Rogue Town to serve as an officer because he can take care of the safety of his family.

It's just that as the strongest trainee in the elite training camp and a dazzling new star of the navy, the navy has spent a lot of effort to train him. Naturally, it is impossible for him to return to the East China Sea and develop peacefully.

Not to mention the rapid development of the power of the Four Emperors in the New World, the naval power is difficult to develop and is very lacking in strength. Just on the Grand Channel alone, pirate troubles are one after another, and a strong navy is needed to garrison it.

Coles can only fill in his wishes on both sides of the Great Channel and the New World.

Coles examined his own strength and finally wrote down that he wanted to serve as a garrison on the first half of the Grand Waterway.

The New World is still too dangerous for him now, if he encounters the strongest creature on land, sea, and air falling from the sky.

He had to finish playing immediately.

Temporarily developing in the first half of the Great Channel is undoubtedly the safest way to grow now.

…

Ring ring ring!

The military school bell rang.

Students in the elite training camp also began to submit their choices.

After these seventy choices were collected, they were quickly sent to the high-level meeting room of the Navy, and then selected by the senior generals.

The navy will consider the wishes of these elite navies, but the decision will still be made by the naval generals of the three major factions as to who will manage these elite navies and where they will be sent.
