Starting the Cleanup

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

It was half a day faster than Hina had expected.

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

"Hina, dock the ship!"

"What forces are here?"

Ye Tong spoke slowly.

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

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

There were even many things Ye Tong had nearly forgotten.

He only knew that there were some unusual forces here, but 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 civilians simply farm their own land and support themselves."

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

Hina slowly recounted the intelligence she had gathered.

"A country like that must have lots of trash, right?"

Ye Tong's eyes lit up.

For such a small country, where even making a living was a problem, there was surely no time to keep things clean.

It looked like his work had prospects after all.

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

Hina spoke again.

"Let's go ashore."

After docking the warship, Ye Tong immediately stepped onto Pildac Island.

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

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

As for Hina, she followed at Ye Tong's side like a little attendant.

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

Seeing Hina following him, Ye Tong spoke 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..."

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

Ye Tong led 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 previously messy and dirty restaurant looked completely new.

Even the dust had been cleaned away by Ye Tong.

"Hehe, not bad. Even a small restaurant gave me over a hundred Pickup Points, along with some basic attributes, Beli, and so on."

"Looks like my guess was right!"

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

After seeing the situation here, he finally understood.

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

"Marine sir, thank you. Today..."

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

"This is for the meal."

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

"This..."

"Alright!"

Although he did not know why Ye Tong wanted this, 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, Ye Tong smiled in satisfaction.

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