Time Travel: Age of Discovery

What kind of value does the golden secret treasure above the sky have that has attracted so many noble families to come out in full force?"

"When will we set off?"

"Everything is ready, except for you. Target the East China Sea, set off immediately."

Perospero smiled at Katakuri and walked away with the candy stick in his mouth.

However, after Perospero left, Katakuri stood there alone, with worry in his eyes.

"What exactly is the purpose of this, mother?"

……

The Grand Channel, near the doldrums.

A warship sailed across the sea, as steady as a rock, breaking through the waves.

Teya looked around and saw the vast ocean, empty and deserted, without even a trace of wind. Only then did he confirm that this was indeed the doldrums.

But for Teya, such carefree days have not appeared for a long time.

Just looking back and seeing Tina and Smoker sparring with each other with the power of the fruit, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion: everything in the world is changing, but he himself seems to be stagnant.

The Kankan Fruit that Tina holds is of the extraordinary type, while the Smoke Fruit that Smoker controls is of the natural type. Logically speaking, it would be difficult to tell who is better even if the two fight until late at night.

However, Smoker was able to swirl his smoke with his domineering power and gained the upper hand; while Tina was at a slight disadvantage at the moment.

These days, Smoker has been obsessed with elemental training, trying his best to innovate his moves.

However, although the power of the Devil Fruit is easy to obtain, it takes time to improve. This is a step-by-step method and one must not be impatient. Just like domineering power, it cannot be achieved overnight.

In today's battle, Smoker narrowly defeated Tina again. Although the latter pouted to show weakness, her eyes were full of stubbornness that refused to admit defeat.

"Hmph, I'll definitely imprison you next time!" Tina said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Smoker smiled calmly and replied, "Then go ahead and try and see if you can trap the invisible smoke."

After hearing this, Tina became even more furious. She stomped her feet and ran straight to Teya, begging him coquettishly.

"Teacher Teya, he relied on the power of the fruit to bully me. Please teach me how to fight back with domineering power."

A pair of bright big eyes flashed with pleading, but Teya could only shake his head and smile bitterly, gently stroking her head.

Just as Teya was about to speak, the cabin door was suddenly pushed open and a soldier came quickly to report.

"General Teya, the marshal is calling."

Hearing this, Teya did not hesitate. He left a sentence "Stop arguing, both of you" and walked into the cabin.

On the other side, Kong sat at the desk waiting, holding the telephone receiver tightly in his hand.

"Hello, Marshal. My name is Teya. What can I do for you?"

Only when he heard that familiar voice did Kong Fang breathe a sigh of relief and asked, "Teya, where are you now?"

Teya reported his current location and asked if there were any new tasks assigned.

Kong paused for a moment and said slowly, "Teya, there is a matter that you need to handle personally.

Not long ago, I sent Sakaski on a crucial escort mission. However, just in case, I need to send another force to support him. Since you don't have any important tasks at the moment, please go."

Upon hearing this, Teya was stunned for a moment, then jokingly said, "Marshal, Sakaski is already so powerful, does he still need my help? Is there something else that requires my intervention?"

"You little brat," Kong scolded him softly. He knew that Teya was joking, so his tone relaxed a little. "I'm just asking you to stay on standby in the nearby waters, just in case. Got it?"

Teya was indeed joking before, but now he knew that this matter was of great importance, so he stopped talking and directly asked about the specific time and place.

"You only need to wait on the islands near the central East China Sea. If there are any changes, Sakaski will contact you."

Teya agreed, knowing that even if something happened, Sakaski probably wouldn't look for him.

After hanging up the phone, Teya thought about the matter carefully.

Why were they sending two lieutenant generals to escort the ship? Just how important was the cargo they were transporting? What exactly were they worried about?

Which daring pirate would dare to covet this thing? Could it be those lunatics?

However, Sora didn't share any details, so he assumed there must be some secret. Teya simply stopped dwelling on it. Since it was just a standby mission, he might as well take this opportunity to explore the scenery of the East China Sea.

So, Teya ordered to change the route and head straight for the East China Sea.

A moment later, Thea returned to the deck and the ship had already turned.

Tina and Smoker noticed the change and went forward to ask the reason.

Oh, how could I forget about them?

But Teya thought again and decided that since he had taken them out to sea many times, he didn't take it seriously.

"We're heading to the East China Sea. Last time, I promised to treat you to a seafood feast, but I haven't done so yet. This is a good time to settle it all at once."

The two were ecstatic upon hearing the news and ran away playfully.

Teya looked at the new route in front of him, and his eyes gradually became complicated.

He sighed softly and murmured to himself, "I hope I'm overthinking it."

The warship sailed away as ordered, and they had no idea what would happen ahead.

East China Sea, waters around Coconut Grove Island.

Sakaski's fleet had just replenished its supplies and was now continuing its journey along its planned route.

According to the original plan, the journey was already halfway through. Although the fleet consisted of four warships, the journey was smooth and the speed was faster than before.

Although Sakaski had no idea what he was transporting, he knew that once he took over, he had to ensure the mission was completed smoothly and delivered safely to the designated destination.

However, after entering the East China Sea, everything was calm as usual, without any disturbance at all.

"General Sakaski, everything is normal and the weather conditions are good."

"Ah."

After the adjutant finished his report and left, Sakaski remained alone in the cabin office, flipping through several documents in his hand.

There had been nothing particularly noteworthy recently, but Sakaski's eyes fell on a few new bounties. Those up-and-coming pirate rookies seemed quite threatening.

However, Sakaski had no time to care about it at the moment, otherwise he would have personally nipped these people in the bud.

Since Roger's death, the number of pirates has increased dramatically. Although most of them are not a threat, there are still some strong ones who try to challenge the authority of the navy. Sakaski finds this ridiculous, but also wants to catch them all in one fell swoop.

How dare a mere pirate challenge the navy? I will crush their arrogance with my iron fist!

The four warships moved forward steadily, maintaining a certain distance between them, with the protected ship located in the center of the fleet.

On the battleship on the right...
