A Bountiful Haul, Wanting to Join the Marines

Just like that, Ye Tong stayed behind as well.

After all, as long as Garp was here, he would definitely create trash.

He did not get many chances to be around Garp, so he had to make the most of this opportunity!

That evening, Luffy and the others returned as well.

"Big Brother, why are you here?"

"Back then, we..."

Bang!

Before Luffy could finish, Garp gave him a loving iron fist.

"Go take a bath first!"

"Then get over here and eat."

Garp said coldly.

Upon hearing Garp's words, the three little ones quickly left.

Garp's iron fists had been the shadow haunting their entire childhood!

Meanwhile, in the room Curly Dadan had arranged for him, Ye Tong took out one garbage bag after another.

After testing it, Ye Tong had found that the system rewards would only trigger when his own hands touched the trash here.

"Ding! Picked up a cup smashed by Garp. Strength +10."

"Ding! Picked up a rag discarded by Curly Dadan. Obtained one bottle of foul water."

"Ding..."

Ye Tong quickly picked through all the trash here.

Sure enough, coming here had been the right choice!

His Pickup Points had finally surpassed one hundred thousand, and more importantly, he had finally raised his Armament Haki to the intermediate level through this trash.

In other words, his combat strength had instantly risen by an entire tier.

He should be able to compare with some Marine field officers now, right?

More importantly, the items Garp discarded later on had basically all provided him with strength.

His strength had now reached 650 points.

Compared to before, it had increased severalfold!

"Big Brother, it's time to eat."

At that moment, Luffy pushed open Ye Tong's door and spoke slowly.

"Alright, I'm coming."

After composing himself, Ye Tong followed Luffy out to eat.

In just one day, everyone here had accepted Ye Tong.

Curly Dadan in particular liked Ye Tong to an absurd degree.

If the age gap between them had not been so large, she probably would have fallen in love with him.

"Vice Admiral Garp, how many days are you planning to stay here?"

After putting a piece of meat into his mouth, Ye Tong asked directly.

"I'm planning to stay here for a few days. Do you care?"

Garp asked directly.

For some reason, Garp always felt that this kid had come specifically for him.

Although after arriving here, aside from picking up trash, Ye Tong did not seem to have done anything else.

Still, Garp believed his instincts could not be wrong.

"Because I want to join the Marines!"

Ye Tong said directly.

It was something Ye Tong had suddenly thought of while sorting through the trash earlier.

If he joined the Marines, wouldn't he have countless pieces of trash to pick up every day?

After all, there were still many powerful people in the Marines.

As long as he picked up their trash, his strength would definitely rise rapidly.

When that time came, he would carry a sword on his back and stand atop a warship.

Clad in the cape of justice, he would roam the seas. That would be incredibly impressive!

"Join the Marines?"

"Big Brother, you're not going out to sea with us?"

"Weren't we going to become pirates together?"

Bang!

As Luffy's words fell, another huge bump appeared on his head.
