Time Travel: Age of Discovery

"Therefore, you are gifted with extraordinary talents. With your unwavering dedication and diligence, you will surely grow stronger and stronger until you surpass those before you."

In an instant, the recruits were enthusiastic and their voices were loud, which attracted the attention of Teya and Flying Squirrel, and then they smiled indifferently.

Teya whispered to the flying squirrel, "I wonder what kind of faith Instructor Zefa has instilled in the new troops this time."

The flying squirrel chuckled and said, "It's just the same old thing: intelligence, motivation, and perseverance."

Indeed, these are all essential qualities; otherwise, they wouldn't have achieved their current situation, or perhaps they've never truly given up on their ideals. The flying squirrel gazed at the enthusiastic new recruit, his first encounter with the navy resurfacing in his mind. He glanced at the sharp blade in his hand.

“But we also stumbled along this way.”

"Indeed..."

The two of them were lost in memories and stopped walking for a moment.

Seeing this, Zefa looked at the two stunned people, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

After the incident where Teja and the others were overwhelmed by Tina's "ultimate dish" and spent a whole week in the hospital before being discharged, Zefa chose to stay at the Naval Academy.

Smoker strongly requested that Sengoku assign him a long-distance mission. Teya bravely boarded Garp's warship and revisited the East China Sea. However, Tina seemed undeterred and instead left the team early, leaving behind only one sentence that made everyone feel even more distant:

She vowed to learn more advanced cooking skills and make delicious food to comfort everyone next time.

It is really torturous, but time flies like water and more than half a year has passed in a hurry.

"Oh, it's really funny when I think about that time, but Tina was sincere after all."

Teya sat on a building in a corner of the Naval Academy, lying on his back, gazing at the drifting clouds and speaking monologue. Lately, things had been quiet, perhaps because he hadn't been involved in any major responsibilities. He had no idea what the outside world was like.

There were only a few words of news about Tina and Smoker.

During this time, besides cultivating, Teya increasingly discovered his own path forward. In fact, it was almost unique, or perhaps he had a clear understanding of the current situation. Being in the navy offered him the opportunity to change his fate.

Because in this ocean, the navy isn't just a puppet; they still have room for maneuver. At least, at this moment, the navy still has a chance of being saved. In contrast, perhaps the least suitable for existence in the world are the Celestial Dragons and the secular authorities.

They are the mistakes of the times and cannot be easily erased. The continuation of the mistakes will only exacerbate them.

If the navy is used as a foothold, what Teya needs to do is to reshape the existing order. However, this cannot be done overnight. Like demolishing a wall, it must be broken down piece by piece and then rebuilt.

The key is that key people and events may change ideas and become the driving force behind the wave of reform.

“It’s certainly not easy, but that’s where the fun lies.”

call--

A newspaper fell from the sky, and the letter inside it flew towards Teya's face in the wind. He grumbled, sat up, and reluctantly brushed the paper off his face.

After reading the newspaper beside him, Teya looked up and saw the newspaper gulls gradually moving away. That was where the falling bird came from.

"Airborne Justice?" Teya scoffed, flipping open the newspaper to read, then tossing it aside. It was nothing but pointless repetitions of the news. It was astonishing that this newspaper was published daily. Still, reading the newspaper was a good habit.

The only thing that caught her mind was the newspaper article that mentioned the poetry festival in Shiyin Town, Fengyu Island, and Teya thought of the two sisters.

I think you should live a happy life, time is not forgiving.

Teya picked up the crumpled letter paper that he had thrown aside at first, and unfolded it to clearly see that the bounty order clearly had "Tyrant" written on it, and the bounty amount was 296 million!

Teya's pupils shrank, and he whispered to himself: "Bartholomew Bear... is that so..."

He stood up, an elusive smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"It's time to travel, destination - South China Sea!"

"Are you going to the South China Sea?" Zefa, holding a bowl of rice, looked at Teya with a slightly surprised look in his eyes.

Although Thea hadn't been at sea for a long time and had no missions, it was actually a good idea for him to stay at the Naval Academy. Zefa was worried about whether Thea could withstand the greater blow brought by the Frevans incident, both in terms of job and spirit.

"Well, I've never been to the South China Sea. I want to go and see what it's like."

Teya smiled at Zefa with ease. He had no secrets about his trip to the South China Sea, at least not from Zefa. Besides, he would lead his men out to sea openly.

While traveling alone was certainly flexible and convenient, Teya no longer wanted to draw attention to himself. He had previously enjoyed Marshal Kong's indulgence, but now he knew that Zhan Guo might no longer protect him, especially after the incident with Frevans.

Seeing this, Zefa smiled knowingly: "Well, you should go out to sea."

After saying that, Zefa put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, as if thinking about something.

Teya noticed something was wrong with Zefa and asked hurriedly, "Instructor Zefa, what's troubling you? You look so heavy."

"Teya, did you notice something?"

To Teya's surprise, Zefa actually asked him a question. This made him fall silent, not knowing how to respond.

Indeed, he had traveled to the South China Sea to meet the "tyrant" Bartholomew Xiong. As he suspected, Xiong was still the king, but he was also known as a pirate.

Teya just wanted to meet Xiong, or to know how Xiong joined the Geming Army.

Teya, who didn't know much about bears, acted solely for this purpose.

"It's just sightseeing." Teya said to Zefa firmly.

As for his intention to explore the Geming Army, Teya would not reveal it easily, at least not for now.

Zefa looked at Teya for a long time, and finally chuckled and said, "I am too worried. I wish you a safe journey."

"Yes, I will follow your instructions, Instructor Zefa..."

Looking at Zefa's smile, Teya felt mixed emotions.

......

The sky was clear and the sea breeze, though slightly chilly, still brought a refreshing feeling.

Teya stood at the bow, looking out at the vast sea and took a deep breath.

"Oh, how beautiful..."

boom--.
