76 “Aurora Island”
10 days flew by, and the arrival at Aurora Island was close. In these days they came across pirate ships, but when they saw the imposing marine ship which was one of the largest, they fled.
In these 10 days, Yamamoto continued with his training, and also with the training of Olvia, Robin, Tesoro, and Yosano who is the newest one.
Yosano did not manage to find anything suspicious in these days from the families of the ex-Marines so she decided to focus on her training with Yamamoto.
Yamamoto also finished writing a copy of the manual and gave it to Dragon who accepted it with enthusiasm and gratitude, since he met Yamamoto he was interested in the techniques he used as the barrier.
The Reiryoku Basic Manual has 5 phases in total and Yamamoto knows he is close to completing them. Once this is accomplished he will start with the intermediate training of the manual.
The manual was divided into two essential parts, the beginner's training method which is the one he was training and teaching. This was the method he gave to Dragon who, although he has an advancing haki and the haki is the ability to sense and use spiritual energy, it will be very useful to him as it is a different approach.
The second part of the manual is divided into intermediate/advanced once you start and master it you will go on to teach it to others when they are trained.
These days he can train his spiritual power and his mastery of the devil's fruit by controlling himself so as not to burn the ship completely.
As for his mastery, he finally reached the intermediate level, to move to the next level he now needs twice as much as before, i.e. 200. He went from 92/100 beginner to 1/200 intermediate.
His spiritual power increased by an incredible 4 points. In addition to his incredible talent that was due to the staff, he spent most of his time training it.
In addition to spending most of his days training and teaching about spiritual power since he had that enlightenment, his progress increased by leaps and bounds.
From 15 points he went to 19. He was only 1 point away from reaching the 20-point mark. His progress went from 18.88% to 19.57%.
During this time Yamamoto began to reflect on what his strength would be compared to the people of this world. Thanks to his training noting down every little change and his fights against the Marines using 50%, he was able to draw some conclusions.
First of all, mastery of devil fruit does affect the progress of the squad, however, many powerful people in this world do not possess a devil fruit, that is to say, if Yamamoto did not have devil fruit, the progress would be higher.
There were many vice admirals he killed who did not have devil fruit, the counter admiral he faced also did not have a fruit. In other words, he cannot compare his progress as equivalent to the strength of a vice admiral, admiral, etc.
The only certainties he can have about the strengths of others are based on only 4 stats: physical strength, endurance, speed, and defense. In people who can use haki, he could add spiritual power, but this is a different approach, so the comparison may be flawed.
When he faced Zephyr he could notice that Zephyr's physical strength was an average of 60, that's why he was pushed back when he only had 50. Sengoku was similar or superior, in speed it was the same, however, Yamamoto won.
This was due to his spiritual power and techniques such as Shunpo. Besides, he knew that if he faced Zephyr it would be difficult for him to die, the most dangerous thing was to run out of 30 minutes.
'It's hard to calculate the strength just using some numbers' thought Yamamoto looking at the book that was all written down.
Another problem he saw was the devil fruit mastery thing, someone like Sengoku should have great mastery, yet all he could do was transform into a Buddha, increase his base power, and throw shockwaves. He didn't seem to have much more techniques than those.
Instead, Luffy in the future will have many very curious and powerful techniques and ways to use.
"ISLA IN SIGHT!" shouted Ivankov, this shout was heard by everyone on the ship.
Yamamoto closed the book and put it in a drawer, got up from his chair, and walked to the deck. As he arrived he could see a large island in the distance.
In the center of the island was a gigantic mountain, the top of which was covered with snow, even though the weather was warm. This they could see thanks to the distance they were at.
"Whoa it's big!" exclaimed Apis in awe looking at the gigantic mountain.
"It looks like a nice place to live" said Roche with a smile.
Lego's family members, Ralph and the others looked at the island with smiling faces, Aurora Island had great beauty from a distance and their choice to move seemed to be the right one.
"Kuma to the southeast is the harbor" Dragon said to which Kuma nodded and began to maneuver the helm.
Dragon told Yamamoto that 10 people under his command were on the island and had made a makeshift port. They were also exploring the island, to find a good place to settle.
These 10 people are former members of libertarian fighters who decided to follow Dragon and are under his orders, *I must find reliable subordinates to leave tasks to them* thought Yamamoto while looking at the beautiful island.
The ship drew closer and closer to the island, and as it neared the shore, Yamamoto and the others noticed a makeshift harbor. Kuma skillfully maneuvered the rudder and they successfully docked. Crystal clear waters surrounded the boat, and the crew could see the great beauty of the island.
"Dragon here!" exclaimed a man's voice standing a few meters from the dock along with more people.
"Rick, how are things going?" asked Dragon as he jumped nimbly and landed near the man and the others who were his subordinates.
Rick was a man in his early 30's, balding and with a hard expression on his face. He was wearing humble black rags and somewhat torn flip-flops. He had previously been with Dragon in the Luchadores Libertarios organization.
Like Dragon, he and the others here saw that it was impossible to change the world by peaceful means alone, so they decided to follow Dragon after he offered to join the Revolutionary Army.
"So far so good, we still have a long way to go to explore the island completely, but we haven't seen any human traces" Rick replied.
"Well, did they find a good area for us to settle?" asked Dragon again.
"Yes, we have prepared it so they can start building the houses as soon as possible, I see there are many people" said Rick looking at the ship.
"Well, what do we do we started the move already?" asked Dragon looking at Yamamoto who appeared next to him a few seconds ago.
"First we will set up camp in that area, while we build the housing and stuff, so we will bring the essentials" replied Yamamoto then quickly told everyone what they would do next.
*That's the Fire Demon* thought Rick in amazement watching Yamamoto.
The most important thing besides housing was to create a library for all the books they brought from Ohara. It is very valuable information, for now, they would leave it on the ship and when the building is ready they will make the move of all the books.
Rick started walking around acting as a guide. Yamamoto and all the others followed him carrying the most important things for a camp. Saul stayed on the ship keeping watch.
After about 30 minutes of walking, they came to a plain surrounded by trees, a very good place to make a settlement.
"It's a good place" nodded Yamamoto. It was very picturesque and there were also natural resources such as wood or wild fruits. Also on the way, they met some harmless and wild animals.
So hunting is a good option for food.
"About 30km north of here there is a lake, we have checked and the water is drinkable" commented Rick to which Dragon nodded.
The hours passed. By sunset, they were able to set up camp. Some people chose to sleep on the ship since they would have beds. Others preferred to sleep on land.
"Not bad for the first day" said Clover next to Yamamoto as she watched everyone in the camp. In the center was a central area where they set up a large campfire.
"Tomorrow we will start with the houses, with the people we are it won't take long" commented Yamamoto.
"It's true, the family of one of the ex-marines knows how to build houses, so it won't be a big problem. The most important thing is to create a place for books, there are books from many years ago" said Clover.
"We can set up a library or something bigger... like Ohara's Tree of Knowledge," said Yamamoto scratching his beard.
Clover looked at him in surprise, "That big? It will take time, the Tree of Knowledge is unique, and it will be hard to find a tree that can contain a large library inside"
"The island is big and there is a lot to explore, maybe we will find something interesting" said Yamamoto.
