Chapter 15 Ghost Ship

The sea was calm. Google search reading

The patrol ship was moving forward slowly.

On the deck, Kahn was sitting on a chair, drinking coffee and reading a newspaper.

Today's newspaper headline was that the World Government had captured an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army.

The reason for such a big publicity was that the Revolutionary Army was the only organization capable of overthrowing the World Government and was regarded as the biggest threat by the World Government.

In these years.

The Revolutionary Army helped poor countries plundered by pirates to repel invading pirates, assisted residents of countries suffering from natural disasters and man-made disasters to take refuge, and so on. The team expanded rapidly, causing headaches for the World Government.

Therefore, the World Government would make a big publicity whenever it captured the Revolutionary Army.

Kahn read the newspaper in detail and then fell into a long silence.

Bulu Bulu!

A very small sound of Den Den Mushi sounded, but because the sound was too small, other navy officers could not hear it at all.

...

Patrol ship.

In the training room.

A huge barbell was being lifted up and down by someone.

The person who was exercising here.

It was Coles, of course.

After completing a thousand strength trainings, he changed to frog jumps, holding the barbell on his back with his backhand, and trained the explosive power and endurance of his legs.

As time passed, sweat began to soak his navy uniform, revealing a strong body with coordinated strength.

On this patrol ship, Coles could already be called the strongest recruit.

But he still felt it was not enough.

Because after fighting with the captain of the Giant Fist Pirates, Yulong, he also knew his current strength.

Although he could now defeat pirates with about a thousand Baileys, there was still a big gap between him and William.

If he met William with this strength, he would still not be able to stop his swordsmanship.

Training must be strengthened!

Close the distance step by step!

Coles was determined in his mind, and even if he felt that his body was about to reach its limit, he continued to exercise.

Because only by breaking through the so-called concept of limit can he really become stronger.

…

Time at sea always passes quickly, and there are only three days left before the end of the recruit period.

During this period, the patrol ship also encountered some small boats and captured several young pirates with the slogans of "dream" and "freedom".

These young people were caught by the navy on the spot before they had experienced the identity of pirates for a few days. It can be said that they are extremely miserable!

After Kahn's repeated education, these young people also temporarily became handymen on the ship.

If they perform well in the future, if nothing unexpected happens, they will also have the opportunity to become navy.

And now the patrol ship is in the marginal waters of the East China Sea, near the doldrums!

The doldrums are located on both sides of the Grand Route, and the overall area is a belt-shaped area.

They sandwich the entire Grand Route in the middle.

Like a sandwich!

The sea area where the doldrums are located has neither wind nor current, and the entire sea surface is absolutely calm.

Most of the pirate ships are sailing ships powered by wind. Once the sailing ships enter here, they will lose power and be trapped and unable to move.

Therefore, for the pirates, this is a dangerous sea area that is almost impossible to navigate.

But the real danger in the Calm Belt is the super-giant sea kings living here.

They are numerous and extremely dangerous, and it is rare for pirates to be able to compete with them.

It is precisely because of the influence of the Calm Belt.

Therefore, the pirates of the four seas must go upside down to enter the Grand Line!

Coles stood on the deck of the patrol ship, curiously looking at the sea area near the Calm Belt.

Under the sunlight, the blue sea was sparkling, and in addition, fragments of the hull could be seen from time to time.

These wooden boards and hull fragments should have drifted out from the Calm Belt.

After all, there are many pirate ships that have mistakenly entered the Calm Belt due to the confusion of direction in the Grand Line.

And the result of these pirate ships is self-evident. If you salvage at the edge of the Calm Belt, you will definitely find a lot of treasures.

But you must pray for your good luck and not encounter super-large sea kings.

The two navy walked across the bow deck while chatting with each other.

"So many pirate ships have fallen in the Calm Belt here. I wonder if there are any legendary devil fruits? If I can pick them up..."

"I don't know if there are devil fruits, but I think there should be ghost ships."

"It's unlikely that there will be ghost ships here?"

"How is it impossible? There are so many ships sleeping forever in the Calm Belt. Maybe a ghost ship will appear at night and take your soul away directly."

"Haha, are you scaring me?"

"I'm not scaring you. This is a story my grandfather told me. And didn't you read the newspaper a while ago? It records the appearance of ghost ships!"

"Why do I suddenly feel a chill on my back? Forget it, let's not talk about it!"

As the two navy officers walked away, Coles could no longer hear their voices.

But, ghost ships?

Coles couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

There were indeed reports in the newspaper before, but the ghost ship appeared in the Grand Line, so it is unlikely to appear here.

In addition to the ghost ship, there are many other mysteries on this sea, but only by truly clearing the fog can we see the truth.

For example, rumors that the Great Channel Devil's Triangle swallowed up pirate ships were actually caused by Moonlight Moria's terrifying three-gallon ship.

Thinking of Moonlight Moria, one of the Seven Martial Arts under the King, Coles couldn't help but stretched out his right hand.

The power of shadow surges in your hands!

All Devil Fruits are unique. There are no fruits with the same abilities at the same time, only fruits with similar abilities.

The Shadow Fruit has the power to take away other people's shadows. Once the person who loses his shadow is exposed to sunlight, he will be burned to ashes.

And his Shadow Fruit can communicate with the power of the dead, summon the shadows of dead creatures, and turn them into shadow soldiers loyal to him.

I wonder which one is stronger or weaker between the Shadow Fruit and the Shadow Fruit?

However, Coles quickly put this problem behind him, because he was still too weak now and did not need to think about this problem at all.

What he needs to worry about now is the William Pirates in the East China Sea!

As a veteran force in the East China Sea.

The William Pirates definitely have the power to compete for the "Hegemony of the East China Sea".

If he wants to deal with such a potential opponent, his current strength is still far behind!

…

Dusk falls and night falls.

Today, since it was not Coles' turn to keep vigil, he meditated in the cabin.

It was about midnight.

The navy on duty outside issued an early warning, and the navy who were originally resting were woken up one after another.

Coles opened his eyes, picked up his weapon, and quickly walked out of the cabin.

When he came to the deck, he saw Kahn questioning the night watch navy.

"what's the situation?"

The navy soldier on night duty reported back: "Report Major, we found a ship in the fog in the distance, and the ship is slowly approaching us."

Kahn took the telescope and looked carefully at the fog over there. He could indeed see the increasingly clear shadow of a sailboat.

You know, that foggy area is a windless zone, and ships can come from there...

"Everyone on alert!"

Kahn gave orders to the navy on board.

"yes."

In an instant, the atmosphere on the patrol ship became tense.

Time passed by minute by minute.

On the vast sea, the gray fog gradually spread outwards, and a strange-shaped sailboat slowly sailed out.

The strange thing is.

This sailing ship is very old, and the hull is even more dilapidated. It doesn't even have a sail, but the ship is sailing forward steadily!

This scene is so weird!

Suddenly.

Coles' pupils suddenly contracted.

Because he relied on the amplification brought by the Shadow Fruit to clearly see everything on the old sailboat.

At this time, on the dilapidated sailboat sailing towards them...

Not a single living person!

this,

Is this a ghost ship? !
