Dragon's Call, Garp Takes a Disciple

After returning to the Cleaning Department, Ye Tong stayed in his room.

Thanks to Garp and Tsuru's reputations, Ye Tong had a room of his own.

Today's gains had not been much, but he had roughly figured out his next objective.

Right now, Tsuru, Garp, and Sengoku were all at Marine Headquarters.

Even Fleet Admiral Kong was there.

Sakazuki and Borsalino seemed to have gone out on a mission.

The Buster Call had not been issued yet, which meant Ohara, where Robin was, had not yet been purged.

Still, those scholars were digging their own graves, and it did not seem to have much to do with him.

As Ye Tong pondered, time flew by.

"Pururururu..."

At that moment, Ye Tong's Den Den Mushi rang.

"Damn, is Dragon already about to make a move?"

Ye Tong picked up his Den Den Mushi and asked in confusion.

After all, Dragon was the only one who had his Den Den Mushi number.

And Dragon had given this Den Den Mushi to him.

"Hello, what is it?"

Ye Tong asked helplessly.

Although he had somehow been made part of Dragon's faction, he actually had no interest in revolution at all!

How could revolution possibly be as fun as picking up trash?

"Chief, I've already found some partners. Now I'm preparing to find a base of operations."

"I've decided to go to the New World!"

Dragon said excitedly.

"The New World?"

"Go ahead. There is a Turtle Island in the White Dragon Sea. It's a massive living turtle, and white dragons dwell beneath the sea. They erupt once every thirteen days."

"The main current directions are northwest and southeast."

"Oh, and if you have time, go to Ohara and copy all the books there."

Ye Tong began making arrangements.

After all, he had obtained Conqueror's Haki because of Dragon. He could not just ignore him completely, could he?

Besides, Ye Tong did not want to see all of history vanish and every book destroyed.

After all, books could create countless piles of trash...

Ahem. Books were the ladder of human progress!

"Understood, Chief. I'll go make preparations."

After saying that, Dragon hung up.

Ye Tong slowly put away the Den Den Mushi, then straightened his clothes and stood up.

"Vice Admiral Garp, what brings you to see me so late at night?"

Ye Tong asked calmly.

"So you've already learned Observation Haki?"

"Good kid. How about becoming my disciple?"

Garp pushed open the door and slowly walked in, speaking heartily.

"No."

Ye Tong refused outright.

Though his name was Garp, he was not reliable in the slightest!

If he became Garp's disciple, he would probably learn nothing except how to take iron fists to the face.

He did not want to be beaten into an idiot like Luffy by this guy.

Even Luffy, with the Gum-Gum Fruit, could not withstand those terrifying iron fists, let alone Ye Tong's head.

"No?"

"Believe it or not, I'll make sure you can't stay a cleaning soldier anymore?"

Garp threatened him directly.

"Then don't let me be one. I still won't become your disciple!"

For the sake of his lifelong happiness, Ye Tong had to hold his bottom line.

Otherwise, if he were really forced into becoming... ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!

Otherwise, he would truly have no good days ahead of him.

He absolutely could not let anyone know about such a weakness.

Much less let someone hold it tightly in their grasp!
