Time Travel: Age of Discovery

Are there really so many? It seems I've been worrying too much.

In fact, half of Toya's military merits were given to him by General Kong, because he helped him find the rare devil fruit, which was actually a strategy to continue the navy. Although this matter is not known to the public, his military merits are indeed clearly recorded.

Today, Teja views military achievements like a wealthy businessman viewing a restaurant menu, not caring about the number behind it.

At first glance, there are many kinds of items, but if you think about it carefully, they are all obtained after fighting with pirates. Pirates are of all kinds, so the spoils are also strange and all-encompassing.

"Hmm... the most common thing is this gold and silver, but the exchange rate for Baileys is ten to one. I guess they assume that once someone has exchanged all the Baileys, they will retire and enjoy their retirement."

Teya flipped through the pages, with nothing else to do at the moment.

Tina and Smoker are in the final two months of special training and are about to face graduation examinations. It is still unknown whether they can join Thea's ship, but if Thea specifically asks them to join, it should not be difficult.

Turning to the weapons category, in addition to swords, there are also weapons such as muskets.

However, the price is regrettable. It is not expensive, but I feel that the price is not worth it.

Teya is not used to using swords, so it is not convenient for him to comment much. He can only say that such things all depend on fate. However, after looking around, he only saw two or three large swords of twenty-one craftsmanship, and the rest were good swords and ordinary swords.

"Hmm? A rare gem? Eight million berries?"

Teya looked at a green stone the size of a fingernail, full of doubts.

Seeing this, the navy on the side introduced enthusiastically with exaggerated words. At the end, he said that the eight million baileys were like picking them up for free and he didn't ask for more. Teya was shocked to hear this.

Finally, Toya turned to the long-awaited devil fruit catalog.

However, at this time, the originally thick document was almost finished, and Teya expected that even if there were any devil fruits, there would be only a few left, so he did not hold too high expectations.

But when he turned to the next page, he suddenly became refreshed.

It really is hidden here!

……

Devil fruit is a magical thing.

Toya, who was originally just a bystander, now vows to obtain a devil fruit, or rather, the devil fruit on the document in front of him has captured his heart.

It is the Kankan Fruit of the Superman series.

After browsing through only three pages, Teya discovered that there were no natural devil fruits, let alone smoke fruits.

The most common ones are the animal type, followed by the superhuman type.

Although there are three pages, there are only more than ten devil fruits, which is not too many, but not too few.

Each one requires 100 million military merit points to be exchanged. This threshold has deterred many people. Moreover, in this world, those who can earn 100 million military merit points must capture countless pirates to accumulate 100 million military merit points.

Many high-ranking generals have gained fruits, and perhaps even more want to exchange them for weapons that suit their needs.

Although Teya captures billions of pirates as if it were a game, there are only a handful of people in the navy who have reached his level.

This is why the navy in charge of this place looked surprised when they saw Teya.

Looking at the Kankan Fruit marked on the document, Teya looked at the billion military merit figures at the back and muttered to himself.

This number is neither too much nor too little. Take Tina as an example. If she achieved this result by capturing pirates, then when she is promoted to colonel, she will need to capture at least pirates with a total bounty of 200 million.

However, apart from a few pirates, those with a bounty of over 50 million are already quite threatening to ordinary naval officers.

For example, when they met the Iron Sword Pirates last time, except for the captain who had a bounty of 70 million, the highest bounty for the rest of the pirates was only 45 million. Smoker and Tina were almost unable to do anything to the captain, and were almost taken advantage of by the other side several times.

Even if Teya takes action to deal with the captain, it will not be easy to deal with other bounty seekers, even in a one-on-one situation.

Therefore, for ordinary naval officers, this military merit is difficult to earn, and the accumulation ratio of special forces is unknown. If the reward is one to one, it is still good, but if there is a discount, it will be quite tricky.

Teya suddenly asked, "Are the items marked here the entire inventory?"

"Ah, yes, Lieutenant General Teya."

Looking up at the two naval officers, then looking back at the closed door behind him, Teya lowered his voice and approached the two men.

"How many people have traded for devil fruits?"

The two naval officers exchanged a glance, then lowered their voices and replied, "We have only been in office for a short time, but I heard from our seniors that most naval officers who obtain devil fruits are promoted quickly."

Teja nodded thoughtfully.

Although strength was still the most important thing, the Devil Fruit had already demonstrated its power, not to mention that eating it was the most direct way to increase one's strength.

I suddenly remembered Chris, who defected from the navy and embarked on a journey of no return because of an animal-type devil fruit.

"Give me this devil fruit, I want it!"

Teya strikes a shopping pose, which actually gives off a sense of generosity.

Then, the naval officer asked Teya whether he would use the fruit himself.

This lie cannot be told lightly. It is not for Teya's own benefit, so I will say it directly.

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant General Teya, after exchanging military merit for a devil fruit, you can only redeem it for personal use. Otherwise, it is prohibited to redeem it."

Teya suddenly asked curiously, "You mean I can't take it away and must eat it here?"

"That's roughly what happened. It was decided by Marshal Kong, and there's nothing we can do about it."

This... Teya was speechless for a moment, the air was indeed very serious.

However, upon closer thought, Teya felt that he was worried that the devil fruits would flow into the outside world. After all, if he ate one, there might be one less. Perhaps this was also the reason why most people who caught people with devil fruit abilities were imprisoned instead of killed.

This time, Teya's plan was quite complicated. Although he was not worried that someone would get the fruit before him, he was now considering how Tina could accumulate 100 million military merits.

You can't just catch pirates yourself and claim it as your own, that would be meaningless.

Teya’s strategy is to use it as a goal to motivate him rather than giving it to him directly. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

It doesn't matter whether you give them devil fruits or not. The key is to make them your capable assistants, and the difference in their strengths naturally cannot be too big.
