Before long, the two arrived at the Cleaning Department's dining hall.

After eating, Ye Tong cleaned the place from top to bottom, then followed Carotell to tour Marine Headquarters.

In truth, the Cleaning Department had fairly high-level access.

Other than the offices and rooms of a few special individuals, they could basically go anywhere to clean up trash.

Of course, private rooms were off-limits as well.

Before long, afternoon arrived.

"Chief Carotell, can we go clean up trash at the training grounds now?"

Ye Tong ran excitedly up to Carotell and asked happily.

"Uh, shouldn't we take a break?"

"There are people specifically assigned to clean there in the afternoon..."

"No, no, no. It's my first day on the job. I can't slack off."

Before Carotell could finish, Ye Tong spoke directly.

What a joke. Getting it firsthand was completely different from picking up what others had already thrown away.

Besides, he had to explore his own treasure himself!

"By the way, are we responsible for our own meals here?"

Ye Tong asked slowly.

He had been eating well with Garp these past few days, so suddenly eating cafeteria food today was rather hard to get used to!

"Yes, we have a dedicated budget for meals."

"I know, you might be somewhat..."

"Here are ten million Beli. Take it!"

"Improve everyone's meals."

Ye Tong directly tossed over a bag.

"Huh?"

Carotell froze.

"In exchange, wherever you go to clean up trash, you have to take me with you."

Ye Tong said directly.

After hearing Ye Tong's words, Carotell was somewhat confused.

Usually, those who gave money to bribe their superiors wanted an easier time.

But Ye Tong was actually asking to do more work.

"Alright... but this money..."

"I want to eat better too!"

After pushing back the money Carotell handed over, Ye Tong said slowly.

"Alright, I'll make the arrangements."

"Let's head to the training grounds first!"

Carotell put away the bag, then led Ye Tong to the training grounds.

"Rogel is currently training the new recruits here."

"The person mainly responsible for training the new recruits is Admiral Zephyr."

Carotell introduced them.

"I understand."

"That's... Kuzan?"

As Ye Tong surveyed the training grounds, he spotted someone familiar.

The guy looked to be only in his twenties now.

It looked like he had just joined the training grounds.

"Kuzan, where's the trash you threw away?"

Ye Tong walked straight up to Kuzan and delivered his standard line.

"The trash I threw away?"

"I never throw away trash."

Kuzan replied, somewhat puzzled.

A cleaner had suddenly come up to him and asked him something so inexplicable.

Kuzan was completely at a loss.

"I'm a cleaning soldier here, so I need to clean up trash."

"Let's fight. If you lose, you have to throw some trash on the ground every day."

Ye Tong said directly.

Ye Tong did not just want to pick up trash.

After finally encountering Kuzan, a future top-tier powerhouse, how could he not properly greet him?

Ye Tong was quite interested in fighting Aokiji.
