Three days later, they arrived at their first small island—Pildac Island.

They had made it there half a day sooner than Hina had expected.

Along the way, Ye Tong had done nothing but clean and train, without causing any trouble, which was why they had made such good time.

"Hina, dock the ship!"

"Are there any forces here?"

Ye Tong spoke slowly.

Although he was a One Piece fan, that did not mean Ye Tong knew everything about the entire One Piece World!

After all, liking something and researching it were two different things.

There were even many things Ye Tong had nearly forgotten.

He only knew that there were some special forces here, while he had never even heard of these small islands.

"There is a small country on Pildac Island, but it is not an allied nation."

"There are no notable specialties here. The commoners merely farm for themselves and live off what they grow."

"They have no great strength, and pirates run rampant. This country is extremely weak."

Hina slowly recited the intelligence she had compiled.

"A country like this must have plenty of trash, right?"

Ye Tong's eyes lit up.

For such a small country, where even survival was a problem, they certainly would not have time to keep things clean.

It looked like his work finally had some prospects.

"Yes, and public security is also a problem here. There are bandits in the back mountains as well."

Hina added.

"Let's go ashore."

After the warship was docked, Ye Tong directly stepped onto Pildac Island.

Aside from the few people left behind to guard the ship, everyone else went ashore.

The cooks were responsible for purchasing supplies, while the others needed to go onto land and rest for a while.

As for Hina, she followed beside Ye Tong like a little attendant.

"Hina, go relax too. I'm here to work!"

Seeing Hina following him, Ye Tong said helplessly.

After all, he was not here to have fun.

Taking a girl along to pick up trash just felt a little strange.

"Wherever Colonel Ye Tong goes, Hina goes."

Hina said firmly.

"You really are..."

"Come on, I'll take you to get something to eat first."

Ye Tong took Hina into a restaurant and ordered several dishes.

Then his occupational habit kicked in, and he began rapidly cleaning up the trash.

Very quickly, the somewhat dirty and messy restaurant became spotless.

Even the dust had been cleaned away by Ye Tong.

"Hehe, not bad. Even a small restaurant provided more than a hundred Pickup Points, along with some basic attributes, Beli, and the like."

"It seems my guess was right!"

Ye Tong had previously wondered whether the system was shortchanging him because he had kept farming experience at Marineford!

After seeing the situation here, he finally understood.

It was not because his strength had increased, but because he had repeated it too many times that the rewards had been reduced.

"Sir Marine, thank you. Today..."

"Boss, just throw a piece of trash onto the ground. That will be thanks enough."

"This is for the meal."

Ye Tong quickly pulled out a ten-thousand Beli note and placed it before the owner.

"This..."

"Alright!"

Although he did not know why Ye Tong wanted that, he did as Ye Tong said.

After receiving his change, Ye Tong greeted Hina and left the restaurant to sweep the streets.

It was not until nightfall that he finally cleaned the streets.

Seeing that he had gained several hundred more Pickup Points, a satisfied smile appeared on Ye Tong's face.

Sure enough, cleaning really did put people in a good mood!
