Time Travel: Age of Discovery

Chapter 178 The Victory Has Been Decided

"Ms. Tiana, Vice Admiral Teya's orders are clear. We need to remain on the ship, no exceptions."

Thea's adjutant firmly blocked Tina's steps towards the shore. This was his responsibility at the moment.

Although the mission was completely unknown, knowing only that they were monitoring the pirates for signs of unauthorized activity, the sudden onset of intense fighting and Teya's prohibition against intervening gave them a sense of a more complex situation. As if something more complex lay beneath the surface, they could only trust Vice Admiral Teya's judgment.

Tina's tightly clenched palms gradually relaxed, and she finally sighed and stared at the distant deserted island. She didn't doubt Teya's ability, but a strange feeling came over her, making her feel uneasy.

On the deserted island, Doflamingo stared at Thea, his mood utterly awful. This day had been crucial for him; if he could just close this deal, his future would be smooth sailing, practically like having a powerful backer.

Now, they were facing danger again. Even with all their warriors present, the pressure from the enemy was still immense. They had been helpless against Teya in the previous confrontation alone. This marine was no ordinary man.

Doflamingo recalled Vice Admiral Tsuru, who had long pursued him, and felt a similar pressure. He loudly demanded, "Who are you?"

Before Teja could respond, he felt a sense of frustration. Could it be that his image was truly bland? However, his portraits rarely leaked, and he had kept a low profile recently.

In fact, Doflamingo knew a little about Thea's background in the Navy, but they had no connection with each other. It was just a name in the Navy in his cognition.

Except for those who have fought against Teya, probably no one remembers his face.

"I'm going to capture the man named Rocinante. Since he's his brother, I'll take him along." Thea's words ignited Doflamingo's fury. His expression shifted from anger to calm, but to the other officers, it held a profound meaning. Only these officers knew that Doflamingo was serious at this moment.

With a flick of his finger, dozens of thin threads shot towards Teya, blocking all his escape routes. Simultaneously, the cadres surrounded him, trapping him like a hunter's net.

A sly smile played across Doflamingo's lips. Hidden within those fine lines was his unique skill—the parasitic thread attack. For Thea, a successful attack would guarantee victory. Once he controlled Thea, he would manipulate him to personally annihilate the entire fleet, ultimately killing himself.

Confidence stemmed from the fact that this move had never failed, and so Doflamingo was filled with pride, convinced that victory was within his grasp. How could a young marine stand in his way? Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind, causing Doflamingo to feel a pang of pain. But the attack was approaching, unavoidable.

"Although it is not a natural fruit, it is the power of the devil after all. Haki should be able to deal with it." Teya examined the approaching thin line, sensed the heat in the mark, and then activated the Ryuo body and swung a heavy punch to meet the front.

This scene made Doflamingo overjoyed. He was afraid that Thea would avoid the attack, but unexpectedly, Thea took the initiative to crash into the parasitic line, which was exactly what he wanted.

"You're asking for your own death. I'm not to blame." Doflamingo smiled, but before his joy could fully express itself, the smile froze on his face. Something unexpected happened.

Teya countered the attack with a single punch, the shattered threads dissipating like broken noodles, revealing cracks in the previously impenetrable silk thread attack. Undeterred, Teya continued forward, and the other officers hurried to intercept him.

"Sticky Chains!" "Stone Teeth!" "Horn Cape!"

Each of them showed their abilities, and each of them had their own moves, which, though different, were closely coordinated, with both attack and defense, and it was obvious that they had gone through a lot of hardships.

Blocking the path forward, a masked Vergo appeared behind Thea. His entire body hardened in Armament Haki, Vergo was a master of the Domination technique. With a single kick, he launched himself towards Thea like a meteor, fists clenched tightly, aiming for his back.

At this moment, Doflamingo's rage soared to the sky, his rage nearly devouring him. Like a spider web, the power of the fruit blocked the path in the air, and the thin threads that spread from the "spider silk" pierced Thea like sharp blades.

He was completely sealed off from the ground and the sky, and everyone put in all their strength. However, facing the sneering Teya, they did not relax at all.

Teya replayed the moments of training with the mountain as a target under Marshal Zhan Guo's guidance. Now he understood Zhan Guo's intention: if he could penetrate a mountain, he could do anything. Now he was filled with confidence.

"Ryuotai·Coordination!" Completely different from the battle against Katakuri, he now felt no heaviness at all, his speed had reached the limit, but he could feel the increase in the domineering power of his fist even more.

Everyone's movements slowed to a crawl in his eyes. Diamanti's "Horn Cape" blocked his advance, while Pica's "Stone Fang" and Torrepol's "Sticky Chains" attacked from both flanks. The masked figure behind him was no longer a threat, for he had already determined the outcome.

Diamante thought that the protective move he used with the metal cloak and the floating fruit was impregnable, but unexpectedly, Teya punched through it and hit his abdomen.

Before he lost consciousness, the scene he saw was that Thea threw Torrepol away and knocked over Pica.
