Time Travel: Age of Discovery

Roger, Golden Lion, and Whitebeard, the three great pirate giants, each occupying their own territory. If the two of them joined forces, the pirate landscape would be overturned and the entire ocean would be in turmoil. "Impossible!" "The two of them are currently in close proximity to each other. This is unprecedented." Faced with Sora's words, Zephyr was unable to refute.

We must be prepared for this, and this matter cannot be ignored. Sora continued, "Garp, who's hunting Roger, is currently in the New World. I've ordered him to track him, just in case." "I'll go too!" Zephyr's words startled everyone.

"Zephyr, calm down. I understand your concerns." Sora looked at Zephyr calmly. "What can you do now? You must trust Garp." Zephyr naturally knew that Thea had sailed with Garp, and this incident made him even more worried. If anything happened to Thea, it would be too late to regret. However, Zephyr remained silent.

At this moment, he had no choice but to trust. He knew that even if he set out now, it would be a race against time. "Order all naval forces in the New World to be on high alert and maintain contact with Garp."

Everyone was preparing when Kong suddenly called out to Zephyr. "I've ordered Sengoku to go support Garp. I know you're worried about Teja, but this is a sudden situation, so we have no choice but to trust them." Zephyr's face was solemn. He sighed and nodded in agreement.

As Sora had said, all he could do now was trust. Ten minutes later, Garp's face stern as he hung up the phone. At that moment, Garp slightly regretted bringing Teya along.

This trip was no joke. "Old Garp, what's going on? Your face is twisted like a knot." Teya sat on the sofa, enjoying the donuts with gusto. Garp sighed softly when he saw this.

Never mind, it's okay to tell this kid, at worst we can just let him off the boat halfway. "Boy, I just received news that Roger and the Golden Lion seem to be on the move, we must go investigate." Hearing this, Teya was stunned.

Roger? Golden Lion? Teya frowned, then suddenly widened his eyes, his heart trembling.

Could it be the Battle of Et-Wol?

Seeing Teya lost in thought, Garp, assuming he was frightened, laid out his plan. "According to the plan, I need to go explore the situation. This journey is very dangerous. You will disembark at the next island, and I will pick you up when we return." He had expected Teya to agree without hesitation. After all, this time he was facing the overlord of the sea, and Teya knew the importance of the matter.

However, Teya's response surprised Garp. "I'm not getting off the boat." Teya knew the danger, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity. Due to the plot's trajectory, this encounter with the legendary Roger might only be this one. The next time, Roger might surrender himself and face punishment.

For Toya, in this age of piracy, there's one person he absolutely must meet: Roger. Even a single encounter is enough. Therefore, Toya absolutely cannot miss this opportunity. However, Garp is displeased. This matter is no joke. Having battled Roger for many years, he knows his opponent's strength... Looking back, if it had been just Roger, Garp wouldn't have worried. But with the Golden Lion at his side, Garp knows exactly who he is, so he decides to send Toya off the ship, just in case.

However, Toya's stubbornness left Garp helpless. Even if he forced her off the ship, she might still find a way back into the fray. Ultimately, Garp sighed and gave up. Knowing he couldn't just fight, Garp had to prioritize Toya's safety and, if the battle began, he would remove her from the battlefield.

Although Toya's martial arts skills are now advanced, they are still insufficient in the New World. Therefore, Garp planned that if Golden Lion and Roger did not unite, they could be allowed to fight. If they did, Garp would have to intervene. This was a strict order and could not be violated.

Garp, with his foresight, was well aware of the dangers posed by the two major pirate alliances. While Roger was a difficult person to work with, Golden Lion still had no idea what leverage he might possess, so caution was crucial. "Maintain speed, monitor your surroundings closely, and report any signs of danger immediately." "Yes, sir!" Toya and the other marines busily prepared for battle.

Garp felt a little relieved, knowing that reinforcements from the Warring States were on the way. Looking out at the endless sea, Garp pulled a ring biscuit from his pocket and placed it in his mouth.

......

A certain sea area in the New World.

A pirate ship plowed through the waves, a solitary vessel yet as solid as a fortress. On deck, a pirate tugged at the sails and shouted to Jabba, "Jabba, are you drunk? Why the weather's so sudden?" Dark clouds gathered, and the waves began to rise. "Haha, how can I control the weather?" Jabba said, turning to gaze at the figure standing at the bow—Roger. Roger set the course, not a navigator's choice, but Jabba trusted Roger, the ship, and his captain. "That island's obviously cheaper for fruit wine!" "Nonsense, it must be the island I'm talking about!" Suddenly, he heard two men arguing behind him, seemingly arguing about something. Jabba turned and laughed. It was those two mischievous boys again, a pair of bickering rivals. On either side of the hatch, two teenagers grabbed each other's collars, refusing to give in. The others, accustomed to the spectacle, watched the scene unfold.

"Shanks, you're always against me." "It's obviously Buggy who's wrong. I'm the cheapest." "Who's your red nose?" Everyone laughed. Shanks and Buggy argued more and more fiercely. At this time, Rayleigh walked out of the cabin. Bang! Each of them hit a punch. Rayleigh said, "What's the price of fruit wine to you?" "Haha..." Shanks and Buggy covered their heads and squatted on the ground, looking dissatisfied, staring at each other. Rayleigh walked to the bow and stood behind Roger. "Are they coming? How to respond?" "It's God's will." Suddenly, a shout was heard, and the crew were alert and lined up to wait for the enemy. The sky darkened, and Roger's ship stopped abruptly. It was surrounded by more than 20 pirate ships on the opposite side. The leading ship was a huge ship, with a conspicuous golden lion ornament on the bow, and the identity of its owner was obvious. Shanks walked to the side of the ship with a weapon, stood beside Roger, and stared at the scene before him. "Hahahahahahaha... Long time no see, Roger!" Roger smiled as usual: "Golden Lion."

As the warships advanced, Toya felt a sense of oppression. The New World's weather was unpredictable and ever-changing. He focused his attention on the sea ahead, where dark clouds seemed to gather, creating a gloomy atmosphere. The warships approached, the silhouette of the pirate ship looming in the distance, the battle one-sided. Garp ordered them to slow down, and Toya nervously gazed across the sea. The gloomy sky and surging waves formed a depressing scene. "Old Garp..." "Kid, watch out, and don't say anything." Toya watched, feeling more nervous than ever.

At this point, Golden Lion ended his pleasantries with Roger and urged him to join his plan. "Roger, I've laid out my plan. Together, we can conquer the world." With that, Golden Lion clenched his fist and called out to Roger, "Be my second-in-command, Roger!" Roger smiled faintly, while his men, with the exception of Buggy, scoffed. Overwhelmed by the proposal, Buggy urged Roger to ally with Golden Lion. Roger smiled in silence, while Buggy was pulled to his feet by the other pirates. "Golden Lion, I refuse!" Golden Lion, assuming Roger would agree, lost his smile and erupted in anger. "Roger! This is your choice, don't blame me for being rude!" "Men, charge!" A shout echoed across the sea like a mighty wave, and a fierce battle, unequal in power, erupted. The feeling of repression dissipated, transforming into a clash of two powerful forces.
