Time Travel: Age of Discovery

However, Teya was strictly ordered not to disappear without permission and must remain contactable at all times unless encountering special circumstances.

Therefore, Teya, who came here to study, sighed as soon as he set foot on this land.

Smoker's actions are truly exhausting, and I suffer with them. It seems that only hellish practice can counterbalance his abundant energy.

Teya has already made up his mind, and he will put this matter into practice once his handover is completed.

At this moment, Smoker, who had secretly gone out to sea to capture pirates, was still on his way back, completely unaware that this place had become a training place carefully prepared for him by Thea.

"General Teya, this is roughly the situation."

The handover was completed quickly and more easily than expected, but one thing caught Teya's attention.

Teya took out a file, which was a ship monitoring report regularly transmitted from a nearby lighthouse, detailing sightings of passing ships.

There are records that a ship seemed to have experienced a fierce battle and left this place in a hurry.

The time happened exactly within a week of the "Gold in the Sky" incident. Teya suddenly fell into deep thought. How could there be such a coincidence?

Although there is no confirmation at present, after pondering the matter of "Sky Gold" for a long time, Thea has already roughly locked in a candidate in his mind, and that is Doflamingo.

At this moment, there are only doubts. After all, there is a lack of definite evidence. What Teya is waiting for is just an opportunity. He expects that if this matter is really done by Doflamingo, or it is just a test, he will definitely take action again.

At that time, it would be time for Teya to personally "pay a visit".

In Teya's view, many prominent figures in the world have madness, and they are willing to act madly to achieve a goal. Everyone has his own principles, but in essence, the pirate world is an era where madness prevails.

In this crazy era, Teya sticks to his rationality, but has to take even crazier actions to achieve his goals.

"Perhaps, starting today, we can gradually seek change."

Teya stood by the window, gazing at the scenery outside, lit a cigarette, placed it between his lips, and slowly exhaled the smoke...

A warship slowly sailed into the harbor.

"Lieutenant General Smoker, you're back."

The navy soldier in charge of the reception greeted Smoker with a big smile when he saw him getting off the warship.

The scene, which originally had nothing abrupt about it, seemed to have a special meaning in Smoker's eyes.

Logically speaking, he had not been stationed at this base for a full month, and his stay at the base was less than three days. As for being unwelcome, Smoker had long been accustomed to it.

However, this person was the one with whom he had a conflict when he first arrived. What was the reason for his behavior now?

Smoker didn't pay much attention to it. After a brief greeting, he went straight to his resting place.

Although he failed to capture many pirates during this voyage, at most he only captured small pirates with a bounty of tens of millions of yuan. Compared with the pirates with a bounty of millions he had captured in other waters, this was a great improvement, but he still felt it was not enough.

From the day he officially joined the navy, Smoker swore an oath that capturing pirates was his primary mission. He believed that this was the most basic belief of being a navy member.

The main reason why he disobeyed his superiors' orders was that when he was first sent to a naval base, he was confused by his superiors' combat decisions.

Although he had encountered some special pirates during his training with Teya before and had not pursued them, this was completely different from the pirates he first encountered at the naval base. They were extremely vicious and it was happening right under their noses.

Smoker's superiors actually chose to bombard the island directly. However, there were still innocent civilians on the island at that time. Once the bombardment was carried out, the pirates would be defeated, but the civilians would also suffer.

The artillery fire was relentless, so when his superiors wanted to order an attack, Smoker decisively stopped them and said bluntly that this was absolutely not allowed.

His superiors didn't take him, a new navy officer, seriously at all, even though he was a new recruit transferred here from the Navy Headquarters.

However, the navy who disobeyed orders were naturally regarded as outliers.

So no one in the entire fleet stood on Smoker's side.

Seeing that his superiors ignored him, Smoker became angry and ran straight to the island.

Thea took him on adventures on the Grand Line, and the pirates he encountered were far superior to the rats here, so Smoker single-handedly eliminated the entire pirate gang and rescued the civilians on the island.

However, the story circulating in the outside world is that Smoker disobeyed orders from his superiors and acted on his own, which led to the current situation.

Smoker did not explain this. After all, he was so excited at the moment that he just did it, following his superiors, but only doing what he thought was right - capturing pirates in the name of justice.

Smoker didn't even tell Tina about this. He thought it unnecessary to tell her. If he told Tina, she might tell Thea, which would only make the situation more difficult.

He doesn't care what others say, as long as he has a clear conscience.

Just as he was about to pick up his package and go back to rest, a naval soldier came up to him and told him that his superior had summoned him to the office.

Smoker frowned. He was quite annoyed by this kind of thing, but he couldn't avoid it after all.

Finally, I arrived at the base commander's office. After all, there was no reason to refuse such a call.

Smoker pushed open the door and stepped into the room, only to see a man standing by the window with his back to him. He was unable to recognize the man's identity for a moment.

Ever since he reported to this base, he has never cared about who the base commander is, let alone meeting him.

"Report."

Smoker responded indifferently, but the other party did not react at all.

Smoker, who already had limited patience, couldn't help but frown at this moment.

What on earth is this base commander doing?

"Smorg."

Suddenly, the officer with his back to Smoker spoke, and the voice surprised Smoker.

He felt that the voice seemed somewhat familiar, and at this moment the other party turned to face him.

"Teacher Te...Tya? Why is it you?"

Smoker was very surprised. He had never expected to meet Thea again in this way.

However, Smoker also guessed something. Perhaps it was because he felt that his actions were too radical, so he sent Thea to teach and restrain him. Smoker had actually anticipated this.

Thea looked Smoker up and down.

He became more calm and grew taller, but his eyes were a little more indifferent than before. It seemed that he must have experienced many things in the world to reach this state.

The two met again, but they were not as close as Tina. After all, Smoker and Tia both knew that this reunion was a helpless move...
