Time Travel: Age of Discovery

Despite Akainu's doubts, Taiya was unconcerned and retorted, "Actually, I don't think you need to be like that. You're already strong enough. Look at Borsalino. He's practically invincible with just his Devil Fruit."

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Akainu couldn't help himself. He took a few steps to Taiya and shouted, "Don't think I don't know that you fought with Borsalino before, and he couldn't suppress you. And you're still here mocking me!"

Taiya smiled awkwardly, looking harmless, which only made Akainu even more furious.

Did this guy have a grudge against me in his past life? The more I looked at him, the angrier I got.

"Report to Lieutenant General Taiya, suspected pirate ship traces have been spotted ahead."

Suddenly, a report from a navy soldier cheered Taiya up. He stopped fighting with Akainu and immediately ordered to go full speed to catch up with the pirate ship.

I finally met a pirate, I hope you won’t let me down.

A sly smile appeared on Taiya's lips.

......

“Ahahahahahahahaha!”

"Karp, what are you laughing at? What's so funny about this?"

At this moment, in the Admiral's office at the Navy Headquarters, Sora, Garp, and Crane were sitting opposite each other.

Kong mentioned the matter of entrusting Taya, and when he said that Taya needed funds, Kong's proposal made Garp burst into laughter.

He seemed to be accustomed to Garp's behavior. He sat silently on the sofa, staring at the newspaper in his hand.

Sora was curious about Garp's amusement and asked with a frown.

Finally, Garp stopped laughing, wiped away his tears, and grinned, "Taya is really quite capable, how could you not see that, Sora?"

“See what?”

"He said that because he wants you to verbally promise him that he might pose as a pirate hunter to raise funds in the future, hahahaha."

Karp guessed correctly, he would do the same if he were in the same situation.

"Hey, I thought there was something funny." Sora glanced at Garp and tapped the table with his right hand. "Let's get down to business. The most active Beast Pirates are a problem right now. I've already started working on that plan. I told you about Taya, and you're already aware of it."

He paused slightly as he flipped through the newspaper, and Karp stopped smiling and remained silent.

"You plan to let Taiya..."

Garp and Crane actually spoke at the same time and looked at each other.

"Hey, let Xiaohe speak first."

He rolled his eyes at Garp and continued, "Are you planning to involve Taya in that plan?"

"I don't have any plans for the time being. Taiya's previous performance was too eye-catching. He's not suitable for secret work. He's too dazzling."

Sora stood up, stood in front of the window, and looked at the navy soldiers training on the playground outside.

At present, no suitable candidate has been found.

......

Taiya could already see the outline of the pirate ship in the distance. The other party was not moving very fast, and perhaps he would be able to catch up with it in some time.

Alas, this was the end of Akainu's first trip out to sea, and the long three-day voyage was finally coming to an end.

Looking back and glancing at Akainu behind him, Taya had a smile in his eyes, which made Akainu confused and not understand what Taya was thinking.

Finally, the battleship caught up with the pirate ship.

However, after getting closer, Taiya discovered that the pirate ship was twice the size of his own ship. There were no less than a hundred people on board, all standing on the side, staring at Taiya with murderous eyes.

"Boss, the enemy is the navy, what should we do now?"

"Why are you panicking? I've seen a lot of storms, so why would I be afraid of the navy? Have you forgotten how we got here?"

Everyone made way, and saw a man in a black robe and a red hat walking to the side of the boat, showing a sinister smile to the Ataya warship.

This man was nearly four meters tall, with a full beard, a long knife on his back, and a pistol in his hand. At first glance, he looked very powerful.

Although Taiya no longer took the other person seriously, he still kept sizing him up...

"Stay still and do not move rashly."

A newly arrived warship docked next to the damaged pirate ship, and the naval soldiers tied up the remaining captured pirates one by one and escorted them to the ship.

"General Teya, thank you for your hard work."

The speaker was the commander of the naval base on a nearby island. Upon hearing that General Teya had captured a group of pirates, he hurried over in person to receive the prisoners.

He had long heard of Toya's great name, so naturally he praised him highly. However, Toya was absent-minded and only wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible and part ways with Akainu.

The two of them were on the same boat these days, and there was a lot of tension in their words. It was not because of anything big, but because they just disliked each other and had a rift in their hearts.

In this case, it is better to end it as soon as possible.

In fact, Akainu had the same thought at this moment.

When the first time and space gave him this task, Akainu was stunned for a moment.

This is a ridiculous mission. Teya captured the pirates and got the reward. What does my surveillance have to do with it?

In addition, Akainu was still brooding over what happened last time, so he felt annoyed when he saw Toya, and felt unhappy even if he looked at him for any longer than a second.

It's not that Akainu is narrow-minded. In fact, he is angry at Toya's position as a navy. He acts too individualistically and acts according to his own wishes, just like the refugee ship incident last time.

Later, when Akainu heard Teya say that there are good people among pirates, he became more convinced that he and Teya had different ideas.

To be frank, Akainu felt that this action was almost a disobedience to military orders, and all pirates should be eradicated.

However, Toia has also been the goal that Akainu has been striving for. He keeps getting stronger in order to surpass him, but Toia always manages to frustrate him and convince him with his strength.

Therefore, Akainu has great admiration for Toa in his heart, but he has never expressed it and keeps it deep in his heart.

"General Sakaski, thank you for your hard work."

The commander of the naval base saluted Akainu again, and Akainu nodded slightly in response.

He wanted to get closer to him, but seeing that Akainu looked unhappy, and knowing that he was an iron-blooded soldier, he said nothing, saluted, and continued to talk with Toya.

Teya is young, handsome and humorous, and is deeply loved by his subordinate officers. They all say that he is approachable and is as close to the soldiers as brothers. This makes Teya feel helpless.

"By the way, the pirate's bounty belongs to me. This is Marshal Kong's order."

“Huh? Oh, I see.”

The base commander nodded knowingly, but the subtle expression did not escape Teya's eyes. He blinked and looked at the other party with his arms folded across his chest.

"I'm not so stupid as to forge the marshal's order. You can ask directly."

Although Teya was not angry, this kind of thing was rare for an officer, so he still had to make his words clear to avoid any unhappiness.

"No, no, I will bring him back and give him a reward."

"No need, I'll go with you."

After that, Teya glanced back at Sakaski and asked, "Are you going too?"

Akainu glared at Toya unhappily, snorted coldly, and nodded in agreement.

On the way to the naval base.

Thea is in a good mood.

Alas, once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back. I wonder what Marshal Kong thinks about it. Three hundred million is a huge amount!

Akainu, who was standing by, looked at Toya's smug expression with disdain on his face.

Alas, I want to change my target.
