Time Travel: Age of Discovery

Chapter 112 The First Consideration

Although Toya was convinced that Mihawk would agree to his request, he didn't know what to do if Mihawk declined. He wanted Mihawk to take care of Robin, so that Robin would be safe in the short term. This was Toya's primary concern, rather than going it alone.

"What do you think?"

Seeing that Mihawk did not answer for a long time, Teya asked again and again, but Mihawk lowered his eyes and pondered, obviously thinking deeply.

After a moment, Mihawk finally said, "I agree, but there is one condition."

Hearing this, Teya felt relieved. As long as the other party agreed, the matter could be discussed, so he signaled Mihawk to state his conditions directly.

"I'm willing to take care of Robin for a year."

Upon hearing this, Teya immediately shook his head and said, "Five years."

“…Two years.”

"Four years cannot be any less."

Mihawk frowned at this, and then said it could be three years at most. Teal, knowing that Robin would be able to stand on her own by then, nodded in agreement.

After Mihawk finished speaking, the two finally reached a consensus.

If Toya wins, Mihawk will have to take care of Robin for three years to ensure her safety, and he will no longer be responsible for this after the expiration of the period.

If Mihawk wins, Teia will have to promise Mihawk something, but Mihawk did not specify the specifics, only saying that this move would not put Teia in trouble.

The time of the decisive battle is set at the hour of Xu, just like the time when the two men had dueled in the past.

After everything was finalized, Thea and Robin returned to their rented house.

On the way home, Robin was silent, and so was Thea. He didn't even know how to start a conversation with Robin. After all, this was done without Robin's consent, but by Thea himself. Was it fair and reasonable to treat Robin like this?

However, Teya knew very well that there was no other way, otherwise he would never do so.

This action is contrary to the identity of the navy, but Teya does not think it is wrong. Instead, he firmly believes that this action is justified.

"Brother, I..."

As soon as he entered the house, Robin seemed to be struggling to utter words, but he stopped talking halfway.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Is it because of hunger?"

Robin shook his head, then bit his lip and lowered his head, his eyes fixed on his toes.

"Do I really want to leave with that person?"

This scene made Thea feel very sorry, but she had no choice but to turn her back to Robin and said sadly, "Robin, I don't want to do this either, but this is the safe haven I can find for you."

There was silence behind Robin for a long time, but she understood that Thea could have ignored it, but she didn't. There was probably no one else in the world who could do this for her.

But deep down, why is Robin still sad? Could it be because he is about to be separated from his brother?

Along the way, Robin thought over and over again that perhaps he should live independently and not rely on anyone. He had survived the difficult times in the past and would be able to support himself in the future.

"I...I think I can live on my own."

Thea looked back at Robin and saw her looking at him with tearful eyes.

Bending over and picking up Robin, Thea gently stroked the top of her head.

"My dear child, you are very sensible, but the outside world will only become more harsh for you."

"So, you don't have to endure such hardship."

At this moment, Robin closed his eyes and nodded, having already decided in his heart to accept everything that Thea had arranged for him. If one could live a peaceful life, how many people would be willing to spend the rest of their lives in fear?

As night falls, the streets are deserted, and only the brightly lit houses indicate the hustle and bustle of the day.

Teya led Robin to the place where he had agreed to meet Mihawk. As expected, Mihawk was already waiting there, and the scene was the same as before.

The two of them said nothing as Thea placed Robin in Mihawk's ship and delivered the gift to Robin.

Seeing Robin's worried look, Thea patted his head and comforted him, saying it was okay.

When Toya approached Mihawk, Mihawk spoke:

"It seems you are still full of confidence."

"Hey, the thing I have the most is confidence."

Although the two had clashed once before, that was many years ago. Now they don't know the details between them, so they are both cautious.

Mihawk's heart in challenging Thea was pure, and he hadn't really given much thought to the conditions he had proposed earlier.

Facing Teya now, Mihawk couldn't help but recall the scene of the two of them fighting under a night sky similar to this one. Back then, he was young and arrogant, but was defeated by Teya. It was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head, and since then, his cultivation has significantly accelerated.

Tonight is when he is in the best condition.

Mihawk raised his hand and pulled out the black sword behind him, Night, which was darker than the night. He gripped the hilt tightly with both hands and swung the sword horizontally. The sword made a series of ringing sounds, and the tip of the sword pointed directly in the direction of Teya.

In this duel, he vowed not to repeat the same mistake and was determined to defeat Teya.

The battle between the strong has nothing to do with the name of swordsman or gunman, only the strength determines the hero.

When Teya saw Mihawk getting ready, he knew that he was ready, and he should put aside all distractions and go all out to win.

This move is not only related to whether Robin can find a stable home, but also that Thea must contact those who have the ability to influence the direction of the world so that he will have more options in the future.

Just consider it as selfishness.

Thea glanced at Robin, closed his eyes, and opened them again, his eyes fixed on Mihawk. From his eyes, it was enough to see what Thea was thinking at the moment.

There is only one word - fight!

With a clang, both arms instantly hardened in Armament Haki, and this time even the right leg down to the calf was imbued with the power of Armament Haki.

Mihawk wasn't surprised by this, as everyone knew that Tea was a master of Taijutsu Haki, and there were only a few who could reach such a level.

However, what Mihawk was concerned about at the moment was whether Teya would perform a new move...
