“Two birds with one Stone”

It was Yamamoto who on his way to the human store came across this beating that these two men were giving to the green-haired young man.

At first, he didn't plan to get involved, but when he got a better look at the young man he decided to save him, as he remembered that this person was Gild Tesoro! One of the antagonists of the One Piece movies and is very powerful indeed.

Yamamoto remembers him as this movie was the last movie he saw before he found himself in the world of One Piece so, despite Tesoro's youth, it wasn't hard to recognize him.

He also remembers that when he confronts Luffy he possesses a devil fruit that allows him to manipulate gold, though he must not possess it now, otherwise he would have easily wiped the floor with these two men.

As for why he decided to use fire attacks in full view of all the citizens was for one simple reason, they were discovered.

As he was walking towards the human tent he received a call from Olvia, letting him know that the marines had discovered them and that they were already returning to the ship with all the necessary supplies and books.

So it was no longer necessary to hide his fire logia. Despite knowing that the marines were on their way, he decided to take a look at the human tent before escaping from the Kingdom of Ilisia.

His decision was correct as he managed to meet Gild Tesoro. If he can get this young antagonist to join him it will be a great gain as he knows his battle potential.

Still, it was not logical that out of nowhere he would ask him to follow him, so Yamamoto slowly walked towards the Human Tent with one purpose, to destroy it.

As far as he could tell Tesoro had a problem with this store, so playing the vigilante by destroying it and freeing all the slaves will make Tesoro's opinion of him improve.

*Furthermore, since I couldn't find the Celestial Dragon, I was able to destroy one of the most famous human shops in this realm* Yamamoto thought as he stood in front of the grand golden gate of the store.

"W-who are you? Why did you kill those two men?" asked the old man who owned the human store.

When Pluming left with his subjects and his new slave, the old man stayed in his tent watching him go. He also witnessed the beating the two men were giving Tesoro, but he had no plans to intervene.

"Do you have anything to do with this human tent?" asked Yamamoto in a cold tone.

The old man was a bit surprised by such a question, but plucking up his courage he replied, "Yes I am the owner. You'd better leave, the king and many celestial dragons hold this store in high esteem."

He was threatening Yamamoto telling him not to mess with his store or something bad will happen to him.

*What an idiot...* thought Yamamoto with disdain towards the old man. If he had told him it had nothing to do with the store, he might have lived.

Without thinking twice, he created a mini fireball from the tip of his index finger and fired at the old man's head.

BANG!

The fire bullet went through the old man's forehead easily as if it were a laser, killing him instantly, *If I had time your death would have been more painful...* thought Yamamoto as he entered the store.

*What the hell? Is he crazy...* thought Tesoro who was still kneeling on the ground hurting from all the blows he received.

"Wait... It's the Fire Demon!" said Tesoro with his mouth open, finally discovering Yamamoto's identity.

All over the world, but especially in the West Blue that name was very famous and feared, people living under a cave wouldn't know who that name was about.

As for Tesoro because of the whole situation, it took him a while longer to guess Yamamoto's identity, if he didn't have his hood he would have recognized him instantly.

Tesoro's comment was heard by most of the civilians who were watching the beating, upon hearing that name they started to run with clear expressions of fear on their faces.

The World Government had done a good job of creating a demonic identity for Yamamoto.

Tesoro started to hear screams and explosions inside the Human Tent, after about 5 minutes several people with disheveled looks started to come out, men, children, women, and old people all had tears in their eyes, but instead of being tears of sadness, they looked like tears of happiness.

*Maybe...* thought Tesoro as he got up with difficulty and began to walk towards the door of the store. An idea formed in his mind and a new spark of hope grew in him.

After all the slaves left, Yamamoto walked out calmly as if he had done nothing important, *Now I feel better* thought Yamamoto satisfied.

As he was leaving he noticed that in front not far from the door, Tesoro was standing awkwardly, waiting for him to exit.

As Yamamoto was about to speak, Tesoro spoke first as he got down on his knees, "Please help me save one more slave!" asked Tesoro nervously.

The only way to save Stella that Tesoro could think of was to have her saved by the Fire Demon.

Yamamoto was surprised by the sudden request, but before she could respond a bell rang in her mind.

[ Ding! A secondary mission is activated: Help Gild Tesoro save his beloved from the cruel hands of the Celestial Dragon! ]

This sound was music to Yamamoto's ears, as he saw the system pop up and read 'Secondary Mission' a smile formed on his wrinkled face.

[ Do you accept? Yes No. Warning: If the mission is not completed within a certain time, a punishment will be applied ]

Yamamoto accepted without hesitation, even though he read Celestial Dragon in the mission he didn't care anyway he had planned to kill it from the beginning, but he just wasn't lucky enough to find it.

[ Remaining Time: 1 hour 59 minutes... ]

The time was much less than the previous side mission, but this didn't worry Yamamoto too much, since by Tesoro's request he was able to draw some conclusions as to why he was getting beaten up before killing him.

Tesoro hearing no response from Yamamoto, raised his head a little nervously, before he could ask again, Yamamoto replied, "Okay, I'll help you. Lead the way."

"T-thank you!" said Tesoro very grateful and somewhat surprised as he didn't think Yamamoto would accept so easily.

"But before we go, you have to know that it was bought by a Celestial Dragon..." said Tesoro a bit nervously. He was afraid that after hearing this Yamamoto might not want to save Stella.

Yamamoto's opinion of Tesoro increased, as another person could not tell her this small but important detail, "Never mind, let's go" replied Yamamoto.

"Fine, thank you!" again thanked Tesoro as he started walking towards where Pluming went with Stella.

In this way, Yamamoto killed two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he would complete the side mission and on the other, he would get Tesoro to be eternally grateful and join him.

He wanted Tesoro to join him because in the movie he was very powerful and at this point, he needed powerful allies. Besides, he is still young and if trained by him he can reach a much higher level of strength than in the movie.

The only partner he had powerful was Saul who had the level of a vice-admiral, but because of his gigantic size, it was very difficult for him to follow them on trips where they had to go unnoticed.

...

While Yamamoto was on his way to save Stella with Tesoro. Olvia, Ralph, Roche, and Lego had already met again and were heading to the ship to flee as soon as possible from the Kingdom of Ilisia.

Lego and Roche were carrying on their shoulders two bags with all the things they came to buy.

"Damn, those marines are on our heels!" exclaimed Roche as he ran in the direction of the ship.

"Don't talk and keep running!" said Olvia as she ran with all her might. If they were caught and surrounded by all the marines chasing them it would be the end of them.

The marines managed to discover their identities thanks to Roche who despite not having a bounty and his face not very well known, did have some record of him and his facial features.

*I should have worn a cape* thought Roche feeling like a fool for being discovered this way.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

Several shots came from behind their backs and they were almost seriously wounded by these bullets, "Ohara demons surrender! You have no escape!" shouted a marine loud enough for Olvia and the others to hear.
