Time Travel: Age of Discovery

The journey back was uneventful until they arrived safely at the island where the naval base was located.

"I wonder if Smoker's training has improved during this time?"

On the way back, Teya hummed softly, speculating in his heart about what might happen in the future.

Before leaving, Teya recalled that Smoker's training was okay, but it might take some time for him to achieve great things. However, Teya firmly believed that Smoker would be able to break through himself because he exuded a spirit of tenacity.

He is very different from Tina.

If Tina is gifted, Smoker is like a talented person who is constantly striving forward.

This scene reminded Teya of when he first joined the navy, as if the old scenes were reappearing before his eyes.

Before arriving at the gate of the naval base, Teya saw the familiar sign and heard the sound of training coming from inside.

I don't know if Smoker is qualified to receive the devil fruit in my hand at this moment. This actually makes Teya feel a little bit excited.

Although only a month had passed, Teya guessed that even if Smoker could not reach the state of hardened armament color, there was still hope for him to break through to the state of being entangled with domineering aura.

As long as Smoker proceeds steadily during this period of time, even if he fails to make a breakthrough, it is expected that he will be almost there.

Teya thought as he walked slowly towards the gate of the naval base.

"Ok?"

The navy soldier guarding the gate saw a man in civilian clothes coming towards them, so he shouted:

"Don't come any closer. This is the territory of the naval base. What do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Teya was stunned for a moment. He never thought that after only being away for a month, the soldiers at the base could no longer recognize him.

Teya once suspected that he had gone to the wrong place, but after careful inspection, he was sure that he was not, so he continued to move forward.

However, the other party had clearly warned Teya, clearly not recognizing him. Teya could no longer tolerate this and responded directly, "I am Vice Admiral Teya, the commander of the naval base."

"Nonsense! The base commander is clearly..."

boom--

At this time, a navy soldier rushed out from the side door, slapped his companion on the head, preventing him from saying the second half of the sentence, and then quickly walked over and gave Teya a standard military salute.

"Lieutenant General Teya, I'm truly sorry. The order from above has been issued for a long time, and I thought I'd already contacted you. However, considering the situation today..."

It turned out that when Teya was returning from the black market, the base personnel had been replaced, but they were unable to contact Teya, so they first deployed new people here, and the original soldiers had all been transferred away.

This is why the soldier at the door did not recognize Teya, leading to this embarrassing scene.

Fortunately, a former navy soldier volunteered to stay and wait for Teya in case he returned in an unknown situation.

When Teya realized his current situation, he realized that he had been replaced in a new position without his knowledge, and he didn't know what the new position was.

The soldier on duty who was beaten stood at attention and saluted, but Teya did not mind. Instead, he comforted the soldier and said that it was nothing serious. After all, both of them were unaware of the incident.

The soldiers who stayed behind told Teya that their luggage had already been packed, but Teya thought it would be better to speak to the marshal first and meet the current base commander.

Coincidentally, the base commander was out on a mission at the moment, which was quite rare. Teya thought to himself that this person was quite similar to himself.

After a phone call, it was learned that during Teya's absence, two pirate conflicts occurred in the surrounding waters. However, Smoker remained fearless and took action to quell the unrest twice, and his promotion was imminent.

However, due to scheduling issues, many bases urgently need to be reorganized, so Smoker and others have been transferred to the Navy Headquarters. No other tasks have been assigned to Teya yet, so he will return to the Navy Headquarters for the time being.

Teya expected that he would most likely still serve as an instructor at the Naval Academy.

It is true that "the camp is permanent, but the soldiers are transient", and Teya stands firm like a steel nail.

"Oh, by the way, where were those original people assigned to?"

When Teya was packing his luggage, he asked the soldier who stayed behind with him. The soldier replied that most of the people had been transferred to another nearby island, and he himself would also go to the island. Now that the mission was completed, he could leave.

After saying this, the soldier saluted Teya and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment, come back to the headquarters with me. From now on, you will serve under me. This is my intention."

Teya has learned from Kong (a suspected name here) that the soldier who stayed behind voluntarily stayed. Teya felt that he was thoughtful and caring about others, so he believed that he was an excellent soldier who might be able to show his talents under his command.

The soldier was quite surprised by Teya's words. He never thought that he would be appreciated by Lieutenant General Teya.

In the past, he was just an ordinary base soldier, but after following Teya, he could be regarded as a personal soldier of the Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, not to mention that he was already a member of the Marine Headquarters.

Although he is still a soldier, the difference in status is huge.

However, whether this action violates military orders, the transfer order has already been arranged.

Teya seemed to see his confusion and told him it was okay to ask who the commander of the base was and he would call him.

Unexpectedly, the person who answered the phone was Major General Flying Squirrel who was temporarily transferred.

Teya was surprised by this. She never thought that flying squirrels were once model workers, running around everywhere and working harder than most people.

When the flying squirrel heard that Teya wanted to transfer a naval soldier, and considering the favor of the knife, and more importantly, that transferring a soldier was a trivial matter, the flying squirrel readily agreed.

"Thank you very much. I will definitely treat you to a drink some other day."

After hanging up the phone, Teya said to the soldier with a face full of joy: "It's settled. You can rest assured. Return to my flagship. I will order my adjutant to arrange everything for you, but..."

Having said this, a trace of cold sweat broke out on Teya's forehead, and he stroked his cheek in thought.

"Where's my adjutant?"

When the soldier heard this, he suddenly remembered what Captain Smoker said before he left.

Please do not mind if Lieutenant General Teya behaves strangely after his return, as this is normal.

It seems that Captain Smoker was right...
