Room for Improvement

The next day, Ye Tong left under Curly Dadan's reluctant gaze.

Before leaving, he met with the three little ones as well.

He said only one thing to them.

"Seven years from now, don't be too much weaker than me!"

Then he left with Garp.

Those words practically ignited the little universe within the three kids' hearts!

They also laid a solid foundation for their future strength.

He arrived aboard Garp's ship.

"This is the brat joining our Marines. His name is... what was your name again?"

Garp looked at Ye Tong in confusion and spoke slowly.

"My name is Grot Ye Tong."

"Everyone can just call me Ye Tong. From now on, I'll help clean up all the garbage on the ship."

"None of you are allowed to fight me for it!"

"I'm a cleaner specially approved by Vice Admiral Garp!"

Ye Tong gave a simple introduction of himself.

"Hahahaha, this brat is really interesting!"

"Alright, alright. We won't fight you for it from now on!"

The Marines were all amused by Ye Tong.

Just like that, Ye Tong became a member of this warship.

That night, Ye Tong was alone in his cabin.

"System, panel!"

With a thought, he summoned his panel.

Title: Junk-Picking Scavenger Rookie [equipped, technical attributes +50, charm +10]

Beginner Portable Space: 10 cubic meters

"System, upgrade my Portable Space!"

The first thing Ye Tong needed to do now was upgrade his Portable Space.

That way, he would no longer need to sneak around when picking things up in the future.

As for things disappearing, he could simply blame it on a Devil Fruit.

"Ding! 100,000 Pickup Points consumed. Portable Space upgraded to intermediate."

Intermediate Portable Space: capacity 1000 cubic meters. After pickup, items automatically appear in the Portable Space.

His original 10-cubic-meter Portable Space had increased a hundredfold.

Even a small boat could be tossed inside now.

However, seeing that his title on the panel was still Rookie, Ye Tong felt somewhat displeased.

Of course, he was confident that one day, he would upgrade it to Cleaning King!

Boom!

At that moment, a violent jolt shook the ship.

There was also a tremendous crashing sound.

"Vice Admiral Garp, we've been attacked by a Sea King!"

Soon afterward, a Marine's voice rang out from outside.

"Wow, a Sea King! Isn't that the one that tore off Red-Hair's arm?"

Ye Tong rushed out excitedly.

Very quickly, a massive, sea-serpent-like creature entered Ye Tong's view.

This thing was at least as long as a small warship.

It was baring its fangs at the Marines on deck.

"Tch, honestly!"

"Don't you know old people need to rest at night?"

Garp leaped up instantly and threw a punch.
