Time Travel: Age of Discovery

What is it?

Teya looked at where the captain was with bright eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He had never heard of or seen such a devil fruit.

"What I ate was the Transcendental Teapot Fruit. How do you intend to respond?"

The captain glanced at Teya coldly, his smile was in sharp contrast to the cold atmosphere in the whole room. It was obvious that in his eyes, Teya was not something to be feared.

However, Teya stood up, with a helpless look on his face, and said slowly: "Teapot man, today I will make your teapot lid shatter into pieces!"

At this moment, the pirates outside the cave could clearly hear the sound of fierce fighting inside the cave, but no one dared to step in because they had already experienced the captain's strength.

Their task was to wait for the captain to emerge triumphantly from the cave and declare victory.

As the saying goes, nothing is surprising, but Teya may not have fully understood its meaning in the past.

Now, Teya finally understood its meaning, that is, the devil fruit is knowledgeable and is no longer surprised.

At this moment, facing the "Teapot Man" in front of him, Teya was speechless and couldn't help but recall the nail fruit he had encountered before.

Generally speaking, extraordinary fruits cannot be elementalized, and their forms can be touched, except for a few special ones.

However, after fighting with the Teapot Fruit, Teya realized that this person used the domineering hardening technique to have both offensive and defensive capabilities, and actually used boiling hot water and steaming hot air as weapons of defense and attack.

Even if Thea succeeded in hitting the opponent, most of his attacks were neutralized.

Therefore, for a while, Teya was unable to find the opponent's weakness, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

"Hot tea bursts!"

The man's arms suddenly swelled up, merged into one and turned into a giant teapot spout, and a stream of green tea shot towards Teya like a cannonball.

Although Teya avoided the attack, the tea caused a violent explosion when it hit the ground. A violent air wave rushed straight into the sky, and the expanding airflow almost blew Teya away. Its power was comparable to the artillery fire of a giant naval ship.

Teya turned quickly, gripped the rock wall with one hand, and stared at where the captain was.

The power of this devil fruit is quite tricky, this is Teya's most intuitive understanding at the moment.

He once tried to take the opponent's attack head-on. Although the hot water was not enough to scare him, the enemy's moves were not limited to this.

Although hot water can be resisted, the steam still sticks to the skin.

This is the key point. During the previous fierce battle, Teya suddenly arrived in front of the captain, but stopped abruptly.

At that moment, although Teya wanted to attack, he was dominated by a strange feeling. His whole body relaxed and he did not have the slightest intention of resisting.

The result was naturally that Teya was hit by a heavy kick from the opponent. Fortunately, he finally got rid of the restraint of that strange feeling and tried his best to resist with his right arm, but was still kicked out.

Although he was not seriously injured, Teya still felt a little scared.

If you don't break free in time, the consequences will be disastrous.

Since then, Teya has acted more cautiously, but the situation has reversed and he has been suppressed by the opponent.

"Why don't you dare to step forward? If I could take your life, I would have done it long ago. But it would be boring like this, ha, ha, ha."

The captain attacked Teya while making sarcastic remarks in an attempt to provoke the other party's anger.

However, Teya no longer fell for his tricks, and the captain must have noticed this.

The reason why Toya was able to let down his guard just now was because of an ability of his devil fruit, which he said was called "Time of Rest".

The name may seem ordinary, but it is not a move that causes damage. Instead, it is a hypnotic attack method, just like making people drink a cup of relaxing tea.

That's why Teya felt relaxed all over, as if controlled by some emotion, but not disgusted.

However, this move has a drawback, which is its time-limited nature. It is only effective when you are close to your opponent, and it does not last long.

If the opponent is caught off guard, it is easy to succeed; on the contrary, if the opponent is on guard or is of equal strength, this move is almost ineffective.

"I don't know what method you just used, but I think it has something to do with your devil fruit."

As Teya said this, he observed the other party's emotional fluctuations. Sure enough, a barely perceptible coldness flashed across the other party's face, but it disappeared in an instant.

The abilities of the Teapot Fruit all revolve around tea, so the captain can also use the power of the fruit to regulate his own emotional fluctuations. However, the ability of the fruit has not yet reached its peak and cannot achieve seamless switching.

That's why Teya was able to notice it and break free, which surprised the captain.

Neither of them is an ordinary person, and if they want to defeat the other, they still need to put in some effort. However——

"You seek nothing but money. This matter can be discussed, but you must return the ship that the foolish man sold to me."

The negotiation started with great interest.

Theatrix pondered for a moment, then replied, "I have come for wealth, but I do not understand your last remark, with all due respect."

Teya's move was obviously to pretend to be deaf and dumb. At this point, even a fool could see that there must be something fishy about the ship.

The more the other party desires to obtain it, the more Teya cannot give it up easily. It is better to dismantle the ship and explore what secrets are inside.

The captain did not respond, as if he was enduring something.

After a moment, he said to Teya, "You are smart and should understand what I mean. If we continue to argue like this, it will not benefit anyone."

After hearing this, Teya felt that there was no point in pretending any longer.

Although I don't know what the pirate's intentions are, but he must have the boat, I will inevitably feel uncomfortable if I give it up. I will have to find out the whole story before making a decision.

"You want that boat so badly, you should at least tell me why."

"No comment."

Just as Teya expected, the other party was unwilling to reveal anything.

It seems that there must be an unspeakable secret hidden in this, or is there something priceless hidden on the ship?

"If we can talk about peace, I have no intention of fighting." Teya spread his hands and looked at the other party with a smile. "All I want is money."

However, the captain's face became increasingly gloomy, and he warned Teya word by word that it was best not to ask about things that should not be touched upon.

Negotiations broke down, and Teya had no intention of fighting again. He wanted to see with his own eyes what was on that ship that this person cherished so much...
