"New Mission"

Saul stared at Yamamoto silently with sweat on his forehead, he saw firsthand how Yamamoto crushingly defeated the marine, especially vice admirals Kuzan and Akainu who he knew were the candidates for the next admirals and were much stronger than him.

Never expecting such a monster to be protecting Ohara, Saul knew that his strength was no match for Kuzan or Akainu, so he was somewhat nervous about being in front of Yamamoto.

"So you're the one who saved and let Olvia escape, I thank you" Yamamoto said while scratching his beard.

"No need to thank me, I can't understand how the marine accepts the mission to kill people who have no chance to fight them" Saul said while scratching his head.

"Well, except you dereshishi" He added while laughing strangely.

*What a strange laugh, well everything in this world is peculiar...* Yamamoto thought as he remembered that all this he saw as a spectator and now it was his reality.

Since he transmigrated to the world of One Piece, everything happened very fast and he didn't have time to think that he transmigrated to a serious one that he saw in his past life, since he had to fight against a buster call just arrived here.

*It doesn't matter... create mini suns from my body that destroyed 8 ships, I can only accept that I now live in this world* Yamamoto thought as he shook his head.

"Is something wrong?" Saul asked with some nervousness as he saw Yamamoto's gesture.

"It's nothing, what will you do from now on?" asked Yamamoto.

He knew that Saul had betrayed the marine and was seen as a traitor, so most likely there would be a bounty on his head from now on.

Saul after a few seconds replied as he knelt "Please let me follow them, I will help in any way I can." This was a strange sight, even though the giant Saul is kneeling, Yamamoto, Robin, and Olvia still looked like ants beside him.

"Please grandfather Yamamoto, let him follow us he is my friend" Robin said not wanting to part from her only friend.

*Grandfather? It's strange that such a famous manga character called me that* thought Yamamoto with a strange expression.

"It's okay, I don't see why you can't follow us, help the weak archaeologists transport the books."

"Thanks, I'll get to work then dereshishi!" Saul said as he laughed happily. He felt guilty that the archaeologists had almost been exterminated by the marina he was a part of, so he wanted to redeem himself, plus he had taken a liking to Robin.

"Thank you, Grandpa Yamamoto!" Robin exclaimed with a smile, happy that she didn't have to be separated from her friend.

"Go to work, every second we spend on this island is more dangerous" Yamamoto said as he shooed them away with a wave of his hand.

Saul went to help the archaeologists carry the hundreds of books to the ship, while Robin and Olvia went to the village to get food for the trip. On Yamamoto's side, he went to sit in the library of the tree of knowledge while thinking about his next moves.

*What should I do in this world? thought Yamamoto.

He didn't know what his goal should be in this world, he always wish to be in the One Piece world, but now that he was here he didn't know what his goal was, ¿To become the strongest? Although he believed it was necessary to be strong in order not to be killed in this world, with Yamamoto's template it was only a matter of time, ¿Get the One Piece? Although he was somewhat curious about the legendary treasure he had no fervent desire to get it, it would be very annoying, he would have to fight all the pirates and go around solving puzzles.

*Although I will most likely face the pirates... and the marines... and the World Government..." Yamamoto thought, looking at a not-very-encouraging future.

The World Government was not going to rest until the Ohara archaeologists, including him, were all dead because they knew too much, and it was almost certain that on his journey he would encounter pirates that he would have to face.

[ DING! Starting the last prerequisite task of the main mission: Find an island, to guard all the knowledge that Ohara archaeologists want to defend so much and turn it into your base]

[Advice: Improve your strength and don't rely on system items that are limited luck!]

*Well my goal will be to get stronger and the system missions... for now* Yamamoto thought.

Before he sets a goal in his new life, he will have to survive the World Government which will not stand still until they assassinate all the archaeologists, including him. So he has to become stronger, using all the methods at his disposal.

This mission was not going to be easy, I had to find an island that the World Government could not find, because if they decide to attack again with a buster call only has 2 cards of 50% of Yamamoto's strength.

I rule out going to the Grand Line because it would be suicide, since in Paradise is the navy headquarters and in the other half known as the "New World" are the Yonko and they all know how to use Haki, so he would lose his logia devil fruit advantage.

*Sorry Ace, but it looks like in this timeline or whatever you won't be Fire Fist, though first we have to see if I live long enough* He thought remembering that he was the user of mera mera no mi.

As he was about to get up to see how long before he could set sail, Clover arrived and spoke with a slight smile, "You surprised me I didn't think you were that strong old man."

"Everyone has some secret or another hidden over there" Yamamoto replied in a mysterious tone.

He felt a weird sensation when talking to Clover, as he felt like he was talking to a lifelong friend when in reality he knew him 1 hour or less ago, the insertion of memories was effective.

"Hmph as you say, old man, by the way, what do we do from now on?" asked Clover who could tell he was somewhat indisposed to leave Ohara especially because of the Tree of Knowledge which was 5000 years old approximately.

Yamamoto understood Clover's emotions as from the memories he received he also felt an affection towards Ohara his hometown, however, he prioritized his life and the lives of others over a giant tree and a piece of land.

"We have no choice but to leave Ohara, though if you want I can leave you here to die buried and bombed by marines while you pray to your ancestors if you want" Yamamoto replied while stroking his beard.

"You soulless old man if I die like this I'll curse you so you can't live in peace!" Clover exclaimed with a vein on his forehead.

"I will burn your ghost to ashes" Yamamoto said as he created a small fire on his finger, not having even half the power he demonstrated before.

"All kidding aside, we need to find an island that is hidden so the navy can't send us another buster call, any come to mind?" I add.

"Mm I really can't think of any island that the World Government can't access in the West Blue" Clover replied as he had his hand on his chin.

"Tsch old good-for-nothing, I guess it'll be up to me" Yamamoto said with a hint of mockery in his tone.

"Hey all I do is study poneglyphs and the Empty Century, I don't study geography!" Clover exclaimed justifying himself.

"Mm, Robin? Did you finish getting the supplies?" asked Clover as he noticed little Robin in the doorway gawking.

This so as she never saw Clover act in such a way, she always saw him as a kind and caring old man who allowed her to study the history books in the library, it was rare to see him act out of his mind.

This could only be accomplished by his best friend Yamamoto the one who had a great facility to piss Clover off.

"Y-yes now there are only a few library books left and nothing else" Robin replied a little shy about Yamamoto's presence, although she previously called him grandfather and thanked him it was for the happiness of having her mother after two years and having her friend Saul follow them on their journey.

Of all the archaeologists Yamamoto was the one with whom she had the least relationship and had rarely spoken, besides she saw how he turned Spandine and her men into ashes leaving her with a great impression of this old man who seems harmless.

*Why do I feel that now there is more distance between us?* Yamamoto thought without understanding the changing attitude of little Robin.

"It's true! Olvia traveled all over the world to study the poneglyphs these last two years, she must know if there is any island we can use to safeguard our research and books" Clover said with a smile.

*And our lives you damn study fanatic* Yamamoto thought.

"Fine Robin, go call your mother" Yamamoto spoke in a calm tone.

"Y-yes" Robin exclaimed as she quickly went to find his mother.

"Hey man, don't scare her, she's just a kid" Clover said.

"What? That scared her… just talk normally" Yamamoto whispered uncomprehendingly to the children.

"Well your tone of voice is creepy, but it's understandable since you're a walking skeleton" Said Clover in a mocking tone taking revenge for the above.

Yamamoto said nothing as Clover was right, if it wasn't for the system life cards his tone of voice would be even more hoarse and creepy, *System open the store and buy two life cards* Yamamoto ordered in his mind as the light blue interface opened.

[Do you want to spend 1000 merit points to buy 2 life cards?]

*Yes do* Yamamoto confirmed in his mind.

[ Ding! You have received 2 life cards do you wish to use them?]

Yamamoto nodded and both life cards broke and thousands of motes of light shot towards his body filling him with vitality, his life expectancy in a few seconds went up two more years, reaching a total of 5 years.

*This is a good feeling...* Yamamoto thought with satisfaction. He made a small count in his mind and to be able to live until the canon he would need about 7,500 merit points, which would be equivalent to 15 more years of life plus the 5 he has he would have 20 years of life, just when Luffy begins his journey, although he would die that same year.

*I need to get more merit points...* Yamamoto thought urgently, it would be pathetic if he can't witness with his own eyes the beginning of the canon because he dies of old age.

While he was engrossed in his thoughts, the library door opened, "Clover-sensei, Yamamoto-sensei did you call me?" said Olvia as she greeted the two elders with respect.
