Time Travel: Age of Discovery

Taya has not made a move yet. The stage now belongs to Smoker and Tina. After all, he has not fulfilled his promise to the two of them on Fuxi Island. This actual combat is the time to hone their skills.

At this moment, they are showing their strengths, but we are outnumbered and don’t know whether we can cope with it.

Taiya looked around and found that the giant ship they were on was in the middle, with boats on both sides anchored between the big ship and the warship. They could provide support and counterattack the warship at any time. This showed that they were very disciplined. They must have experienced many battles. No wonder they dared to face the challenge head-on. It turned out that they had planned it in advance.

For a long time, Taiya discovered in the pirate world that the captains of various pirate groups were mostly recognizable at a glance, perhaps by their temperament, body shape, or clothing. In short, there were few mediocre ones.

"Listen up, everyone! Kill them all, except for that little girl. I'm going to keep her as a bargaining chip to threaten the navy, haha."

A classic pirate boast is, "We don't know the enemy's strength, so each one should act within his capabilities." This statement sounds reasonable, but it is actually irresponsible. When facing an enemy, if we are unaware of their strength and situation, we should take proactive measures to understand them. Only in this way can we develop effective strategies and plans to deal with the enemy's threats. Instead of simply saying "each one should act within their capabilities," this statement will create a sense of lack of confidence and determination, and is not conducive to teamwork and morale. Therefore, we should encourage everyone to bravely explore and experiment, rather than giving up or retreating easily. At the same time, we should also remind everyone to pay attention to safety and risk control, and not to take blind risks or act impulsively. In short, when facing an unknown enemy, we need to maintain a calm, objective, and rational mindset, and constantly learn and improve our abilities to better cope with various challenges and difficulties.

He had said that the total bounty on this group of pirates was 200 million, but a total bounty of 200 million had a very different meaning from a bounty on a single individual. In this era, bounties were not often exaggerated; they were generally commensurate with the threat and strength of the person being offered the bounty. Like the ones Taiya had previously dealt with, the Great Axe Pirates were likely to be similar.

The difference in threat between a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million and a pirate group with a bounty of over 100 million is self-evident. He did not stop them at the time because he believed they could handle it and because Taiya was by his side.

At this moment, although Taya was standing on the side of the ship, watching the battle between Smoker and Tina, he was still surrounded by vigilant pirates. To them, Taya was a far greater threat than his two sons.

Taiya did not make any move, but just stared elsewhere as if watching a show, which surprised the pirates.

Taya adheres to the principle of "I won't move if no one moves" and peaceful coexistence. He only observes Tina and Smoker secretly to prevent the two from getting into trouble and needing timely assistance.

However, there are always reckless people. One pirate was dissatisfied with Taiya's behavior, so he rushed forward with a knife and went straight for Taiya's leg.

However, the pirates had not yet reacted. They only heard the sound of metal colliding, followed by screams. They saw that the reckless pirate's hand holding the knife had been broken off and hit the mast directly, then slowly slid down like a piece of paper.

No one could see what was going on, not even whether Taiya moved. He continued to watch Smoker and the others fighting fiercely in the distance as if nothing had happened.

Taiya didn't look at the pirates, and seemed to say to himself, "Don't bother me if there's nothing to do."

The pirates looked at the reckless man who fell to the ground, swallowed their saliva, and no one dared to move forward.

At this moment, Smoker knocked down a pirate minion with one punch. The passion of battle surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but recall Taya's words in the past.

You have to be able to adapt to the situation in battle. Of course, if you can break everything with one punch like old man Garp, that’s another matter.

Their first battle was against pirates on the island, and the current situation is more similar to the naval career they will face in the future.

Most battles take place at sea, and most often on ships.

Smoker dodged a pirate's knife by leaning sideways, jumped up lightly, kicked the pirate away, and glanced around out of the corner of his eye.

The pirate captain did not move at all, as if he wanted to wear down their strength and then capture the two men in one fell swoop.

Taya once said that to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Smoker gritted his teeth and rushed towards the captain, but was surrounded by other pirates.

Seeing this, Taya sighed inwardly. Although the logic was clear, Smoker was still a little impulsive, while Tina was much calmer.

Tina is agile and powerful, but not inferior to Smoker. Although she is still young, she already has the advantage of long legs, and her kicking skills are swift and fierce.

"It seems that Tina will first learn the Storm Kicks in the future. Combined with the Shaving and Moon Steps, her combat power will definitely increase greatly."

Thinking of this, Taiya suddenly remembered something. Smoker's "Village Sword" was broken. Should he find a seastone weapon for him directly?

In fact, Taiya once considered finding a seastone weapon for himself, but eventually gave up.

After all, the development of domineering power is the strongest weapon, and seastone weapons are just icing on the cake. Moreover, Taiya has tried boxing gloves and the like, but he is not used to them.

"It's okay to go back and ask Kizaru. It's only a matter of time anyway."

Having made up his mind, Taiya continued to pay attention to the battle situation.

At this moment, Smoker was surrounded by dozens of pirates. Although he had eliminated many of them, he was still too numerous to resist. Taiya once said that he would only help in times of crisis.

Of course, given Smoker's character, he would never give in easily.

At this moment, Tina kicked a pirate away and crashed into the group of pirates surrounding Smoker like a ball, instantly breaking a gap and Smoker broke out of the siege.

"Brilliant, well done, Tina!"

The pirate captain, who had been watching the battle, couldn't stand it any longer. He pointed at Taiya in the distance and yelled, "Hey! You're making so much noise! Come over here and fight me if you dare. Do you think this is a Boy Scout training ground?"

Taiya said nothing. Smoker's forehead veins bulged, he clenched his fists and looked straight at the captain.

"You're not worthy of that person taking action. If you have the guts, challenge me first!"

At this moment, Tina actually felt that Smoker was handsome despite his bad boy look.
