The Vanished Gray Terminal

After acquiring Armament Haki, Ye Tong slowly raised his hand.

"Come on, Armament Haki!"

Ye Tong shouted.

But the familiar black color did not appear on his hand.

There was not even the slightest change.

Wasn't Armament Haki supposed to coat the body once it was activated?

Even when Luffy activated Gear Second, didn't he turn bright red?

Why was there no change at all when it came to him?

"I must not be concentrating hard enough."

"Hmm..."

Ye Tong began to focus and exert himself.

"Ah...!"

After holding it in for several minutes, Ye Tong still got no response.

"This Beginner level is way too beginner, isn't it?"

"Forget it, let's take a look at the Skillful Grade Blade."

As Ye Tong spoke, a long blade appeared in his hand.

The blade was 1.2 meters long, with a 38-centimeter hilt, a square guard, and a white blade with a staggered pattern.

Whoosh!

He casually swung the Skillful Grade Xiling in his hand. It weighed over ten jin.

If his strength had not improved somewhat, even swinging it would have taken effort.

At that moment, Ye Tong could finally sense his Armament Haki. A faint energy wrapped around his hand.

Slash...

Ye Tong gave it a try. With one strike, he instantly cut the stool beside him in half.

"As expected of a Skillful Grade Blade. Its cutting power is no joke."

"If a Skillful Grade Blade is already like this, then what about a Great Grade Blade? And the king of blades, the Supreme Grade Blade?"

At that thought, Ye Tong directly tossed the Skillful Grade Blade in his hand onto the ground.

Then he quickly picked it back up.

"As expected, the junk I make myself doesn't count!"

Though Ye Tong was a little disappointed, he could understand.

If he could farm rewards endlessly, wouldn't that make him invincible?

After taking a brief rest, Ye Tong prepared to sleep.

After all, he had been in this world for so long without properly resting even once.

The next day.

"Time to get to work!"

Ye Tong got up in the morning and continued clearing away garbage.

Protecting the environment was everyone's responsibility, after all.

Ding, picked up one newspaper. Obtained 1,000 Beli.

Ding, picked up one rotten sock. Obtained one box of canned herring.

Ding, picked up one rusty blade. Obtained Beginner Swordsmanship.

After obtaining swordsmanship, Ye Tong drew Xiling again and began swinging it.

With swordsmanship, the Xiling in Ye Tong's hand now whistled through the air with every swing.

Though he had not yet reached the level of releasing sword energy,

it already possessed a certain degree of attack power.

At least he was no longer wildly hacking about with a Skillful Grade Blade.

And so, Ye Tong began his dull life of picking up garbage while training.

Half a year later.

The entire Gray Terminal had vanished.

The only thing left was a small wooden cabin.

"It's time to leave this place."

Looking at the empty Gray Terminal before him, Ye Tong felt immensely accomplished.

As his basic attributes increased, Ye Tong had also grown a little taller.

At twelve years old, he was already 1.7 meters tall.

Perhaps it had something to do with the One Piece World. Many people in this world were giants.

Being 1.7 meters tall at twelve seemed normal enough.

"Let's go take a look at Foosha Village."

"If I happen to run into Red-Hair, picking up the garbage he throws away sounds like a pretty good choice too!"

With that thought, Ye Tong prepared to leave the place where he had spent the past half year.
