Time Travel: Age of Discovery

Marshal Kong was in disbelief at the communication just now. He had never expected such a change to happen.

“Tweet—tweet—”

The Den Den Mushi chimed again, instantly snapping Sora out of his chaotic thoughts.

"Hello?" he responded.

"Marshal Kong, Lord Kazimweisheng will personally come to the Navy Headquarters this afternoon to receive the 'Heavenly Gold'. Please be sure to prepare to welcome him..."

"I understand." After hanging up the phone, Sora's mouth trembled slightly, and he angrily threw the Den Den Mushi onto the table.

He sat back in his chair, covered his forehead with his hands, and his heart seemed to be filled with bitter sea water.

The fleet that Roy was escorting "Tenjo Gold" was attacked by an unknown enemy. Could it be that the enemy dared to be against the World Government and the Celestial Dragons?

The team that had escorted the "Gold from Heaven" had never made a mistake before. Although they didn't lose the gold this time,...

Thinking of this, Sora recalled the content of the first phone call.

The caller, Roy's lieutenant, detailed the events.

There were four invading forces, their identities unknown but their strength considerable. To protect the "Gold in the Sky", Roy single-handedly led the rearguard, holding off all the attackers. The fleet escaped, but Roy had already lost contact.

The last scene he witnessed was Roy unleashing his fruit power, a fiery phoenix devouring the entire sea...

"How could this be?" Sora muttered to himself. It was almost certain that Roy was in grave danger. Naval battles were extremely disadvantageous to Devil Fruit users.

If Roy hadn't been allowed to participate in this mission, perhaps...

However, it is useless to say this now. Although Roy's whereabouts are unknown, he may not have died.

Kong decided to send people to search the sea area where the incident occurred, even if there was only a glimmer of hope.

However, the biggest problem at the moment is that he is worried that Thea will be shocked when he finds out about this, but he has to tell her.

"Forget it, it's better not to tell him for now." Kong weighed the current situation and tried his best to handle the matter properly.

……

In front of the Naval Academy, Teya was feeling depressed.

It’s really strange. Teacher Zefa left right after I arrived. Is it really such a coincidence?

Fortunately, the Naval Academy did not replace its staff, and the instructors all knew Teya and invited him to give some encouraging words to the new recruits.

Although Teya was interested, he was not feeling well at the moment, so he declined the invitation. Seeing that he was indeed busy, the other party tactfully stopped asking questions.

"Hey, isn't this Teya? When did you come back?" Teya heard someone calling him by the wall and looked in the direction of the voice.

It turned out to be Kizaru.

"Borsalino? What a coincidence, I just got back the day before yesterday." Toia did not expect to meet Kizaru here, let alone what happened next.

Kizaru used his fruit ability to kick towards Toya. Toya's adrenaline surged instantly, and his arm, hardened with armament color, went straight for Kizaru's calf.

Kizaru stopped half a meter away from Toya, and Toya's movements also stopped.

"How scary, Teya, your strength has improved a lot." Kizaru put away his long legs and said to Teya with a bright smile.

He started fighting as soon as he said he would. Teya couldn't figure out Kizaru's temper, but the Flash Fruit was indeed powerful. He wondered if Kizaru had developed the Yasakani no Magatama.

Retracting his Armament Haki, Teya smiled and asked, "What brings you here?"

"Oh, I came to ask Mr. Zefa some questions about Taijutsu."

what?

Teya couldn't believe his ears for a moment and even wondered if he had heard it wrong.

However, it is true that Kizaru relies on the devil fruit, but his physical skills are also first-class and his swordsmanship is also outstanding.

"But after fighting you, I understand. There's no need to look for Mr. Zephyr now. Goodbye."

"By the way, Teya, you are really abnormally strong."

Looking at Kizaru's leisurely leaving figure, Teya: "???"

What's going on? This is outrageous.

Teya shook his head and turned away.

In the afternoon, Teya went out and found that there were few pedestrians on the street. He came to the Naval Academy and found that the gate was closed and the playground was empty.

Why is this happening? Teya was puzzled and started wandering around.

He arrived at the port and saw Teacher Zefa standing there, surrounded by many armed naval soldiers, as if they had an important mission.

When Zefa discovered that Teya had arrived, he was stunned at first, and then told him that the Celestial Dragons were about to come, hence the situation.

Teya was suddenly confused. What were the Celestial Dragons doing at the Navy Headquarters?

But he felt that Zefa seemed to have something unspoken.

Since there was nothing to do, Teya stood behind Zefa, and Zefa didn't say anything.

Half a moment later, a golden ship sailed towards the port. A short man wearing a bubble hood and thick lips walked out from under the ship. It would be more accurate to say that he was carried down rather than walked down.

"Damn it! You actually want me to make this trip myself? What the hell are you guys in the navy for?"

This person was arrogant and rude as soon as he opened his mouth. Teya understood why everyone hated the Celestial Dragons and called them pigs, which was an insult to pigs.

Teya frowned and turned away from him. He secretly looked at the man carrying him, who was covered in scars and panting, but still crawled forward mechanically.

Perhaps he only remembered one thing: falling down meant death.

Zefa stepped forward, forced a smile, and greeted the other party.

Knowing Zefa was a general, the Tianlong people restrained themselves somewhat, but vented their inexplicable anger on the man under their feet, kicking him fiercely with the sharp tip of their shoes. The man seemed to have accepted his fate and endured it patiently, without saying a word.

"The celestial gold has been brought aboard your ship, my lord."

"Got it! The stuff wasn't lost, was it? We were robbed while being escorted. Even though that worthless commodore died, we managed to save the stuff. Humph!"

At this moment, Teya saw the veins on Zefa's forehead bulging, but he still suppressed his anger: "Sir, that marine is my student, his name is Roy!"

what!

Zefa's words were like a bolt from the blue, and Teya's mind went blank.

Roy, he, is dead?

How can it be? This is impossible!

Teya's disbelief turned into anger. He clenched his fists and glared at the Celestial Dragon with gritted teeth.

The Celestial Dragon didn't notice Teya. He glanced at Zefa, who was also suppressing his anger, snorted coldly, and turned away.

The ship was going farther and farther away. Teya wanted to make a big scene, but his reason told him that it would be useless.

At some point, Zefa came to Teya's side.

Looking at Teya staring blankly at the sea, Zefa sighed: "Boy, this is the law of the world, it has always been like this."

"Laws?" Teya muttered to himself, "If this is a law, then who made it?"

Zefa was stumped by Thea's question. He opened his mouth but had nothing to say. In the end, he just patted Thea's shoulder lightly.

Zefa couldn't believe Roy's news. How could he not be heartbroken when the student he had personally taught passed away before he could take over the work of his generation?

But Zefa understood Teya's feelings, perhaps he was even more sad.

There was no point in hiding it, so Zefa took advantage of his anger to tell the story. Most importantly, he would not allow his students to be insulted by such people who were worse than pigs and dogs after leaving!
