Time Travel: Age of Discovery

"Warden Hannibal, what's wrong?"

Hannibal was overjoyed, his face flushed, and he smiled so hard that his eyes could hardly open.

He patted Taiya's shoulder and said, "You are a great speaker. If you have any questions in the future, just tell me. I will never refuse to help you in any way I can." Then, he took the initiative to act as a tour guide and took Taiya to visit the city.

After a conversation, Taiya finds Hannibal, while ambitious, to be a decent character. In the anime, Taiya has a positive impression of Hannibal, at least for his loyalty to his duties. However, Taiya hadn't anticipated Hannibal's profound obsession. Did this obsession begin twenty years ago?

Then again, in the world of pirates, age is difficult to infer from appearance. At their departure, Hannibal insisted on walking Thea to the ship, the two acting like long-lost friends. Magellan was astonished, wondering how Hannibal and Thea could possibly know each other.

Hannibal treated him like a guest, inviting him to visit sometime. Magellan, unable to bear this, punched Hannibal on the head. His words were inaudible from the distance, but Taya knew Magellan was scolding him. Taya was helpless. Prison was no paradise; who would venture there for such idleness? However, by playing to his own desires, he had proven that everyone here was innocent and that he could control them by following conventional rules.

Even if I don't necessarily cross paths with Hannibal and the others in the future, connections are always beneficial. Life is unpredictable, and if I need a helping hand, this friendship will prove valuable.

On the way home, Taiya felt a sense of loss. Every time a mission ended, he felt lost, as if he had nothing to do and desperately needed to find something to live for. In the past, Taiya had longed for a peaceful life, but now a force compelled him to constantly strive for something. Even if it meant cultivating himself to the point of madness, it was better than doing nothing. With each task completed, he began to think about the next.

He didn't know if this was related to the voice, or if there was someone behind the time travel. But Taiya knew that without knowing the truth, one should not speculate.

Taiya leaned against the side of the boat, gazing out at the blue sea, as if in a dream. Ten years had passed in the blink of an eye. He was now twenty-five, yet his body was still young. In the world of pirates, either young men were mature or their faces were weathered. Taiya was glad to be one of the former.

This time, he wanted to spend some time with Roy. It had been so long since they'd last seen each other, so it was rare for them both to have some free time. With this thought in mind, Taiya had a plan in mind. Shabaodi Island still had a lot to offer, so this time, he was going to make Roy spend some money.

"Ouch, Taiya, come and help me, my shoulder hurts so much!"

Suddenly, Garp's voice came from behind. Taiya turned around and saw Garp staggering, waving one hand and covering his shoulder with the other, his face full of pain.

Which play is this?

Taya stared at Garp with wide eyes, confused.

Garp continued to shout, "Help me rub my shoulder. I sprained it in the battle just now."

Taiya stood still as a mountain, staring at Garp in confusion.

His palms were hardened with armor, his joints creaked, and he said with a half-smile, "Oh, you look very tired. Let me massage it for you."

Garp suddenly became serious and stared at Taya with disgust.

"Kid, do you understand respecting the elderly and loving the young? Who uses Armament Haki to give someone a massage?"

"It's special for you. You see, this makes me think more of you."

"Nonsense, you want to crush my bones!"

"Impossible! Your bones are harder than meteorites. You often boast that your bones are made of meteorites."

Garp was speechless for a moment, and after scolding Taiya for having no sense of humor, he turned and left. Taiya looked at Garp's back and couldn't help laughing.

There was nothing to do, but I was still happy. After all, this was a gathering of talented people. After hanging up the phone, Roy still had a smile on his face.

His wine-red hair was combed neatly, no longer as messy as before, and his beard was carefully shaved.

You know, the last time Thea saw Roy was half a year ago, and his beard had grown quite long at that time.

After looking in the bronze mirror and tidying up his appearance, Roy walked out.

In the waters near the Chagos Archipelago, a ship is sailing towards the island. It looks like just an ordinary merchant ship.

A man in an ordinary windbreaker, hiding his sunglasses, stood at the side of the ship, gazing at the island with a smile on his lips.

This person was Teya. On his way back to the headquarters, he quietly left, changed into this outfit, and headed straight for Shampoo.

The vacation is only for one month. It’s not that Teya doesn’t want to take more than that, but there is no need for it.

If Roy hadn't suggested getting together, Thea wouldn't even have considered taking a vacation.

Although I vaguely felt that Roy seemed to be hiding something from me, from Roy's tone on the phone, I thought it was nothing serious.

When the boat docked, Thea did not get off first. He was secretly observing Roy with burgundy hair.

If it weren't for that unique burgundy hair color, Thea might not have recognized it as Roy.

At this moment, Roy was standing beside the ordinary dock, looking at the people on the boat. His expression was obvious, he was looking for Thea.

Teya spoke to him yesterday and told him that he would arrive in Shampoo this morning, so Roy was waiting here on time.

Teya squeezed into the crowd and got off the ship. This merchant ship temporarily carried a lot of passengers, so there were quite a lot of people.

Good, Roy didn’t notice Thea, and Thea’s plan succeeded.

Indeed, Thea now looks ordinary, just an ordinary person.

I walked past Roy on purpose, but Roy didn't notice. Teya couldn't help but wonder in his heart, can't he recognize that it's me?

wow-

Thea deliberately bumped into Roy, and Roy actually reacted, moved aside, and looked at Thea with a puzzled look.

Taking off his sunglasses, Teya looked at Roy with a smile. Roy was instantly surprised and rushed towards Teya.

wow-

The two of them accidentally bumped into each other's heads and both squatted on the ground, covering their heads.

……

Civilian Street.

Just as Teya had seen last time, this place was still bustling with people of all kinds gathering here, creating a peaceful scene.

"Tiya, look, there are a lot of new amusement facilities here recently. I'll take you to have a look."

Roy spoke to Teya and led him to the gate of Shambhala Paradise, intending to have a good time.

At first, Teya thought it was a children's toy, but when he saw a group of white-haired old people having fun on the roller coaster, Teya no longer had any concerns.

After all, we had to give up last time due to the interference of the Celestial Dragons, so this time we can just make up for the regret.

"Hello, two tickets please, thank you."
