“Shinigami Academy”

The three days of travel had passed, and Yamamoto's new ship had already entered the fog near Warship Island.

Yamamoto maintained the barrier for over two days, only deactivating it when they reached the fog. As for how to navigate this fog without Apis and her bird friends, it wasn't a problem.

Bokuden, being a native of the island, had a way to navigate the fog without needing a bird's help. He had already explained to Yamamoto and Olvia the method for navigating the fog.

Yamamoto got up from his position, feeling all his bones numb and sore; after all, he had been sitting in the same place for more than two days. He quickly told Tesoro, Ramses, and the others how to navigate the fog and went to a room to rest.

He was truly exhausted; for two and a half days, he had been supplying his meager spiritual energy to the barrier.

*Show me the reward* Yamamoto mentally ordered while lying on a luxurious double bed, assuming that this room had belonged to Pluming before.

In front of him appeared the pale blue system screen, which numbered the rewards of this side mission:

[

1° Reward: 8 skill points

2° Reward: 800 merit points

3° Reward: 1x Blueprint of the Academy of Spiritual Arts

]

A smile formed on Yamamoto's old face, even though he didn't get a life card and the last missing part of the map, the skill and merit points were higher than the last side mission he completed.

*Academy blueprint?* thought Yamamoto not expecting this particular reward.

He knew that this plan was about the Academy of Spiritual Arts better known as Shinigami Academy. It was an institution in the Bleach world formed by Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai himself, who was in charge of training and educating future Shinigami.

Yamamoto had a thought and out of nowhere the blueprint came out of the system, appearing in the real world, "What the hell, why is it so big?" whispered Yamamoto surprised by the amount of specifics this blueprint had.

Yamamoto began to analyze the blueprint carefully, he noticed that it was all extremely explained to build the Shinigami Academy to the letter, its size was very large.

*Even the Marine Academy is small compared to the Shinigami Academy" thought Yamamoto in surprise.

Yamamoto began to think why the system gave him such an object, ¿Did it want him to build this Academy and start teaching young people to in the future take on the World Government?

Such a plan would take time to carry out, but Yamamoto saw it as a good plan. After all, if he teaches better how to handle and use spiritual energy he will have a much stronger and prepared army than the Marines.

However, he needs a lot of people and currently, he has some Marines he kidnapped, a couple of archaeologists, and 5 ex-slaves.

*We'll leave that for later. The system keeps the plan in the inventory* ordered Yamamoto.

...

Seconds passed and the blueprint was still scattered on his bed. Yamamoto shook his head in disappointment. Once you take an object out of the system you can no longer put it back in, meaning this system has no storage functionality.

*Well, I didn't expect much either..." thought Yamamoto as he arranged the blueprint and put it on a table.

After that, he opened the status sale. With the new rewards, he had a total of 13 skill points and 2,100 merit points. He also noticed that his devil fruit mastery went up 3 points, rising from 70 to 73.

He supposed this was due to the fight he had against Boo Kong, and maybe it also helped when he used the deadly strike card, as he experienced a very powerful fire.

*Will I reach 15% with so many skill points?* Yamamoto thought with a smile. Currently, he has made progress to 13%. With so many points, he knew he could either reach or come very close to 15%.

Yamamoto nodded again, thinking that deciding to come to this island was the best choice he had made. In just 6 days, he had gained 15 skill points and 1500 merit points, something he wouldn't have achieved in 1 or even 2 months.

Yamamoto analyzed the statistics and wasn't sure which one to increase. The only one he wouldn't raise was Spiritual Power since he felt it was the easiest for him to increase thanks to his talent. He felt that his speed was very poor, and if it hadn't been for Boo Kong being overweight, he would have been caught and had to use his Devil Fruit power much earlier.

So, he decided to increase his speed by 3 points, reaching 15. Instantly, he felt his whole body becoming lighter, knowing that his speed was now much higher than before, even though it had only increased by 3 points.

He also raised his resistance by 3 points, reaching 15. He couldn't neglect that statistic. He felt his energy replenishing, and his previous fatigue improved a bit.

Currently, he had 7 points left, and Yamamoto was deciding whether to invest them in Strength or Defense, but his eyes noticed a statistic he had never paid much attention to: Intelligence.

This statistic was still at 10 points. Although it was now the lowest of all along with Spiritual Power, at the time he came to this world it was the highest of all.

*Never gave importance to this statistic. Let's try raising it by 1 point* thought Yamamoto as he added the point and Intelligence went up from 10 to 11.

Yamamoto noticed a subtle but noticeable change in his brain. It was as if a spark of electricity coursed through his neurons, especially awakening his mind. He experienced a sense of greater mental clarity.

His thoughts flowed with a slightly more renewed agility as if the mental barriers had faded a bit. Every idea and concept connected with greater ease, allowing him to process information more quickly and efficiently.

*Not bad...* thought Yamamoto scratching his beard.

In addition to the mental clarity and increased ability to concentrate, his speed of thought increased and this could be very useful in battle.

Finally, he decided to raise 5 points in strength reaching 25 points in total, this was a substantial change, now he could fight Boo Kong quietly with only his physical strength.

And with the last point he had left, he decided to raise it to defense, reaching 21 points.

Immediately Yamamoto brought his eyes to the progress and what he saw made him smile.

[Name: Fudo D. Yamamoto

Template : Shigekuni Yamamoto Genryūsai

Progress: 14.9%

Merit points = 2,100

Skill points = 0

Devil Fruit: Mera Mera no Mi

Devil Fruit Mastery = Beginner 73/100

Physical strength = [25]

]

With this increase in statistics, his progress reached 14.9%. He was 0.1% away from completing the emergency mission.

*In 1 or 2 days of training I can complete the emergency mission* thought Yamamoto satisfied.

He also felt that with his new physical strength, he could train Hakuda and even start training Hohō.

Yamamoto only spent 1 month and a few days since he came to this world, and with his current strength he can already kill a navy rear admiral without much difficulty, however, this is mostly due to his spiritual power and his devil fruit.

"Land in sight!" shouted Ramses who noticed the Warship Island.

The shout brought Yamamoto out of his thoughts. He stood up and made his way to the deck of the ship with everyone else.
