Time Travel: Age of Discovery

At this moment, Teya was worried. When he read ancient books in the past, he only heard that the black market was under the jurisdiction of Ming Gong. Now it seems that the people behind Ming Gong have gathered it together, and it is still a trading place scattered in all directions.

This time, Teya set foot in the black market, one to look for the legendary smoke fruit, and the other to find out whether there are other things worth paying attention to in the black market.

Therefore, it is always better to have a guide than to explore alone. After all, it is hard to imagine walking into a tavern alone and asking people, "Do you know where the black market is?" This is really foolish.

However, as soon as Teya said this, the man gave him a scrutinizing look and nodded, but his expression was quite strange. It was not a sign of vigilance, but perhaps he had seen through the world.

After all, although Teya had subdued the group of robbers with ease before, it can be seen from this that his martial arts skills are extraordinary and his strength should not be underestimated.

Hearing that Teya really needed to go to the black market, and considering the extraordinary gold he had just seen, this person began to speculate about Teya's true identity.

Although it seemed that Teya had no ill intentions in his behavior, this man chose to travel with Teya not because he trusted his character, but because he wanted to take care of each other.

It has to be said that this person is extremely courageous. The two had never met before and each had different purposes in mind, but at this moment they gathered together because of a common goal.

"I have never been to the black market."

Teyalus concealed the truth. After all, even if the places he visited in the past were black markets, they no longer existed.

"I see. To put it simply, the black market can be considered a...shop."

"Haha, that's brilliant!"

After a conversation, the relationship between the two gradually became harmonious. Although they had the same destination, it was difficult to hide the fact that they did not have much in common.

However, when Teya learned that the next island was where the black market was located, he was slightly stunned.

How could there be such a coincidence?

The time lost in the past seems to be made up at this moment.

……

Inside the Navy Headquarters, Marshal Kong was holding an intelligence document with a satisfied smile on his face.

"This Tina is indeed extraordinary. The contribution she made this time is indeed not small."

In fact, the captain of the Cha Cha Pirates had long been listed as a key target of attention by the Navy, but his whereabouts had never been found.

Rumor has it that this person was involved in a major incident many years ago, and even the secret organization CP is keeping a close eye on him.

Now that this man has finally been caught by the French, along with the pirate group under his command, the navy can be said to have won a great victory.

The report detailed the entire incident, so Tina's rank was promoted one level and her accumulated military merits were quite rich.

Prior to this, Tina called to inform that the large amount of captured spoils would be delivered to the Navy Headquarters in person.

There is a lot of priceless gold among them, which shows that the pirate who offered a reward of 40 million berries is very ambitious.

However, Tina's rapid growth surprised Sora.

This seemingly ordinary girl actually has such great potential. No wonder Teya taught her everything he knew. It seems that Teya has a unique eye for talent.

Speaking of this, Kong thought of Smoker, who used to give him a lot of headaches, but now he rarely makes trouble.

"He also seems to think highly of Tina."

Kong muttered this to himself, but he felt a little confused in his heart. He always felt that some details seemed inconsistent, but he couldn't put his finger on the specific reason.

But this did not affect his praise and evaluation of Tina, so he still attributed this to Tina's own growth.

At this moment, in a certain sea area of the Grand Line.

A naval warship was speeding towards the naval headquarters. Tina, standing at the bow, stared at the sea ahead with a smile on her lips.

Thanks to Thea's help, she was able to get such a great bargain.

Not only was he promoted to major, but he also accumulated countless military merits. Just as Teya said, this was simply a blessing from heaven. How could one not be happy from the bottom of his heart?

However, Tina has been thinking about one question: why is Thea so kind to her, even too fond of her.

She once asked Teacher Zefa for advice, but Zefa just smiled and replied that Toya regarded them as the hope of the future of the navy, just like when he first met Toya.

Perhaps this was a form of inheritance, training them for the future of the Navy? However, Tina didn't fully agree with this. She preferred to believe that Teya had no reason, simply believing they had potential, rather than for the illusory future of the Navy.

After following Teya for many years and going through many ups and downs, she gradually became indifferent to many things, but she always regarded those rigid and inflexible rules as a joke, which was exactly what Teya taught her.

Looking up at the sky, Tina had already pictured in her mind the scene of obtaining the coveted devil fruit, and she couldn't help laughing.

As for Smoker, if he dared to anger her, he would be imprisoned in a cage and played with like a monkey.

……

Finally arriving at the next island, we saw Teya and the man in the hat getting off the boat one after another.

"Is this where the black market is?"

Although Teya asked this question, he already had the answer in his heart and knew the result as early as the beginning of the journey.

However, he was still confused. The small town before him didn't look like a black market at all. Instead, it looked more like a place where ordinary people lived.

He originally thought that the black market should be a place like a luxurious gambling house, filled with the smell of money and desire.

However, he was well aware of the principle of "hiding in the city". If the black market had been able to exist for so long, it must be extremely hidden, and the scene before him was probably just an appearance.

"Yes, this place is just a facade. The real black market is hidden in underground transactions."

As he said, the black market was deep underground. Teya followed the man into a tavern in the heart of the town.

Along the way, many passers-by cast curious glances at them, especially Teya, who attracted more attention because it was his first time here and had a unique temperament.

These people seem approachable, but from their eyes you can tell that most of them are not ordinary people, at least they have practiced martial arts.

It seems that this place is indeed a black market, and there are spies everywhere to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

When they arrived at the door of the tavern, the man who was traveling with Teya stopped and signaled Teya to remain silent.

Then he pushed open the door, and a unique scent of sandalwood filled his nose. Teya followed the man straight to the bar.

Their arrival did not attract anyone's attention. The whole environment was no different from an ordinary tavern. The only difference might be the smell of sandalwood.

"What would you two like to order?"

"Are there any stocks of the wines and beverages that were previously stored here?"
