"Leaving"

Early the next morning, Yamamoto and the others were at the port ready to set sail for the Kingdom of Ilisia. On this trip, they would use Nelson's marine ship, as it was much smaller and would go unnoticed.

Yamamoto ordered Lego to change the appearance of the ship, especially the flag that has the navy logo, and would raise suspicions if they saw an unidentified marine ship.

As they were about to set sail, they said goodbye to the archaeologists and the others. It was very difficult to convince Robin and Apis that they could not follow them on this dangerous journey, "Don't be upset, Robin. In 1 week or a little more, I'll be back" Olivia said in a sad tone. She didn't want to leave her daughter again, but she didn't have a choice.

Robin nodded as she wiped away some tears, reluctant to be separated from her mother again, "Fine..." said Robin as she hugged Olvia.

Finally, the ship set sail, "Bye, bye bring me some presents!" shouted Apis as she waved to the ship from the harbor.

*This shameless girl...* thought Yamamoto, as he entered one of the ship's rooms. As he had 3 and a half days to travel, he decided to train as long as possible in the Reiryoku Manual, since he didn't need much space.

Quickly 2 days passed and they were able to sail without any problem, they did not come across any marine ship, this was because the area where the Warship Island was located had very few winds and it was also more frequent to meet with sea kings, and also some luck.

In these two days Yamamoto, apart from eating, only dedicated himself to his Spiritual Power training. On the last day of training, he achieved a kind of enlightenment and managed to finish phase 2. So he immediately started training phase 3 called "Energetic Development".

This phase has only one point to train on. In the manual called "Essential Practices", the person will perform visualization and concentration exercises to accumulate and expand his spiritual energy. Focusing on nurturing and strengthening his inner spirit. In this way, he will gradually increase his spiritual power.

In the two days that Yamamoto began this third phase, he managed to increase his Spiritual Power by 1 point, finally reaching 10.

In this phase 3 Yamamoto did not see an early end, and it would take quite some time to expand his spiritual energy to the maximum, he does not know how much his stats will go up if he achieves such a thing. So he moved on to phase 4. This phase is a more practical and useful phase than the others, they are basic ways to use the Spiritual Power you achieved so far.

He also began to train these simple techniques of Spiritual Power, as in a battle they would come in handy.

"Ship in sight! And it's from the marine!" exclaimed Lego who was standing on the mast of the ship with a small telescope.

Yamamoto slowly opened his eyes, a bit annoyed at having to leave his training aside, as he would now start training some useful techniques in battles, much more interesting than just meditating or breathing techniques.

He left the room and went to the deck, when he arrived he noticed that not far from his ship, there was a marina ship heading towards them, *So they showed up...* thought Yamamoto, he knew that it was very difficult to reach the Kingdom of Ilisia, without crossing any marine.

"What shall we do?" asked Olvia looking towards Yamamoto, noticing that the marines were heading towards their ship.

It's only been a month since they left Ohara, and the World Government in the manga chased Robin for 20 years or more, so they wouldn't give up in such a short time.

The marine ship heading towards them was similar in size to Nelson's ship, "We two will hide, you four-act normal, they will most likely ask them something, if they don't suspect they will leave" Yamamoto replied.

Roche, Gram, Lego, and the other marine nodded as they got into positions and tried to mentally prepare themselves so as not to arouse suspicion. On Yamamoto and Olvia's part, they went to hide in one of the ship's rooms, which would allow them to hear what is going on outside.

"Stop the boat!" shouted one of the marines when his boat was a few meters away from Yamamoto's boat.

Following the orders of this marine who seemed to be the leader of the others, Roche and the others stopped the boat, "What's going on, is there a problem? We are just civilians" said Gram acting normally.

"We'll just do a quick inspection, it's nothing serious" replied the marine as he looks over the ship.

"An inspection? We're just honest civilians. Shouldn't you be catching pirates or something?" said Roche with annoyance in his voice, since the Ohara incident he was one of the angriest with the marine and the World Government that destroyed his home island and narrowly his life.

"It's ordered from above, just make the job easier ¿Or do you have something to hide?" the marine said as he raised an eyebrow.

"N-no, we'll cooperate," Gram said quickly as he motioned for them to come over to his ship. How Yamamoto still hadn't done anything he continued to act, waiting for him to make a move.

"That's good" said the marine as he took a small jump and landed on Yamamoto's boat and the others, behind him followed by two more marines, while two others were left guarding their boat.

Slowly they began to inspect and observe the ship, "This kind of ship looks familiar" said one of the marines. Hearing this, Roche, Gram, and the others put on nervous expressions. This ship belonged to the marines and was almost identical to the ship these marines came on.

"Yes... By the way, aren't there too few people for the size of this ship?" asked the leader of the marines as he looked in Gram's direction.

"W-well you guys are also few and the size of your ship is similar to ours, right?" said Gram after a few seconds, while trying to put on a natural expression.

"Mm you're right..." replied the marine, every minute he spent on this ship made him more suspicious, "I'll go inspect the interior" he said as he started walking towards the galley area and the rooms.

Roche and Gram watched this nervously but decided to stay put, they were just weak archaeologists, they couldn't even defeat these 5 normal marines, so it was useless for them to want to do anything.

The only ones who might have any chance of beating them would be Lego and the companion he chose for this trip, his name was Ralph, even so, they were not sure they could defeat 5 marines being just the two of them.

The marine arrived at the first room, this was where Yamamoto was. Slowly he turned the doorknob and opened it cautiously, when he was about to see what was on the other side, a fist-shaped hand hit his face sending him flying.

CRASH!

The leader of these 4 marines crashed against one of the walls of the ship and you could tell that this punch knocked him unconscious, "What?!" exclaimed the other marines surprised by the surprise attack.

From the door at full speed Yamamoto came out, heading towards these 4 marines, with quick and precise movements he managed to knock them all out in a matter of seconds, without even giving them time to draw their swords, or even react a simple blow, *How weak the marines of the weak oceans are* thought Yamamoto with a bored expression.

Anyway, he preferred to meet these weaklings, rather than, someone powerful, as he wanted to reach the Kingdom of Ilisia first, "His nose is broken" said Olvia as she walked out of the room and looked at the unconscious Marine leader.

"I tried to restrain myself as much as I could..." said Yamamoto.

"Tie them up and take out their weapons, I'll do a quick interrogation" added Yamamoto as he ordered Lego and Ralph, who quickly went in search of ropes and some chains.

Before going on their way, the best thing to do was to interrogate these marines, about the Marine movements, although he didn't have much hope as these marines seemed to be of very low ranks. At least he would ask them what had happened in the last month when they were on Warship Island, disconnected from the world.

Lego and Ralph efficiently tied and shackled these marines, and put them in a line, even so, all 5 were still unconscious, so Yamamoto grabbed the leader of these marines and started slapping him to wake him up.

SLAM!

Olvia, Roche, and the others looked at the marine with pitying eyes, for falling into the hands of this old man, "What's wrong!" exclaimed the marine as his eyes widened without understanding what was going on.

"I don't know, you tell me" said Yamamoto in a calm tone, while giving the marine another slap.

SLAM!

The marine felt a painful burning on his face and his head did a sharp turn from the slap. Yamamoto was holding back, as he could knock him out if he used all his strength in one slap.

*Why is this old man slapping me?* thought the marine while he was scheming his brain, finally he could remember the scene where he opened the door of one of the ship's rooms, and out came a fist that knocked him out, leaving him with some scattered memories.

"Y-you're the demon of fire!" he exclaimed in fear as he finally recognized Yamamoto.
