"This..."

Dragon truly had never thought about it.

After all, such matters were not something to consider at this stage.

No matter how well he planned for the future, without achievements to match beforehand, such thoughts were useless.

"You never thought about it? Were you planning to wait until you became someone at the very top before thinking about it?"

Ye Tong found it somewhat amusing.

"Yes."

Dragon nodded again.

This young fellow before him actually gave Dragon the illusion that he was a teacher.

While he himself was a student eager to learn.

"Building is many times harder than destroying!"

"Do you know what those people you consider unfortunate are actually thinking?"

"For example, before this, I thought the happiest thing in the world was having enough to eat and warm clothes to wear."

"And there are many people in this world who are easily satisfied like that."

"Those who already have enough food and clothing may be exploited, but are they truly as unfortunate as you imagine?"

"Whether your actions succeed or fail, they will bring misfortune to them."

Ye Tong said again.

Then there were all sorts of grand principles, such as all people being born equal, ensuring the elderly had someone to rely on and children had someone to raise them...

Ye Tong himself had not thought these lofty ideas through very clearly.

Still, saying them at a time like this should not be wrong, right?

After all, he was merely an ordinary person who wanted to pick up trash properly...

Thinking of this, Ye Tong suddenly stood up.

He understood why he could not use Conqueror's Haki.

It was because he lacked the spirit to become a king!

In other words, he had no ambition.

But how was he supposed to have ambition?

Go search for the One Piece?

Or form the Revolutionary Army like Dragon?

Or, like Doflamingo, dream of ruling the underworld?

"Right, isn't there an idiot right here?"

Ye Tong turned his attention to Dragon.

Having lofty ambitions did not necessarily mean he had to do it himself!

He could leave those troublesome matters to this guy, who had plenty of time on his hands.

He was going to clean up the trash of the entire One Piece world.

He was going to become the King of Cleanup!

"Dragon!"

"You..."

"Ye Tong, come be our leader!"

Just as Ye Tong was thinking about how to "trick" Dragon, Dragon suddenly said this.

"Huh?"

Ye Tong froze.

Even he was somewhat taken aback at having the foremost figure of the Revolutionary Army pledge allegiance to him.

"Although you are very weak right now, your ideas, the things you just said..."

"I believe they are exactly what this world needs."

"It doesn't matter if your strength is insufficient. We have strength."

Dragon spoke with complete sincerity.

"Hahaha, good!"

"Go and build up enough strength first. Once you have a certain level of strength, come find me."

Ye Tong said directly.

"This subordinate understands!"

Dragon immediately dropped to one knee and placed his right hand over his chest, showing his submission.

Ye Tong was somewhat baffled. Why would someone like Dragon suddenly make such a choice?

A man with the bearing of a king was actually willing to serve beneath another?

Unable to figure it out, Ye Tong stopped thinking about it. He could only attribute it all to the ideas of those great figures throughout history.

In truth, Ye Tong was not wrong. What had convinced Dragon were precisely those ideas.

"Ding, congratulations, Host. Conqueror's Haki can now be used."

At that moment, the system's prompt sounded beside Ye Tong's ear.
