Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Full of Gains, Wants to Join the Navy!

And so, Yeyin stayed behind.

He knew that as long as Garp was around, he would definitely continue to create trash. Yeyin didn't have many opportunities to spend time with Garp, so he had to seize this chance!

Later that evening, Luffy and the others returned.

"Big brother, why are you here?"

"When we were..."

Boom!

Before Luffy could finish, Garp hit him with his signature "Fist of Love."

"Go take a bath!"

"Then come back for dinner," Garp said coldly.

Upon hearing Garp's words, the three boys quickly ran off. After all, Garp's iron fists had been the shadow of their entire childhood!

Meanwhile, Yeyin was in the room Miss Curly Dadan had arranged for him. He took out the bags of trash one by one. Through his testing, Yeto discovered that the system only rewarded him when he personally touched the trash.

["Ding! You have picked up a broken cup from Garp and gained +10 Strength."]

["Ding! You have picked up a rag discarded by Miss Curly Dadan and obtained a bottle of dirty water."]

["Ding..."]

Yeyin quickly went through all the trash.

It turned out that coming here was the right choice! His collection value had finally surpassed 100,000, and more importantly, his Armament Haki had been upgraded to an intermediate level.

This meant his combat power had instantly risen to a new tier.

Now, he could probably match some naval officers, right?

And most importantly, the later items he collected from Garp primarily boosted his strength. His current strength had reached 650 points, a significant increase compared to before!

"Big brother, it's time to eat."

At that moment, Luffy pushed open Yeyin's door and said slowly.

"Alright, I'm coming."

After calming his excitement, Yeyin followed Luffy to dinner.

In just one day, everyone here had accepted Yeyin. Especially Miss Curly Dadan, who had grown extremely fond of him. If not for the significant age gap, she might have fallen in love with Yeyin.

"Vice Admiral Garp, how long do you plan to stay here?" Yeyin asked after putting a piece of meat in his mouth.

"I plan to stay for a few days. Why? Do you mind?" Garp asked directly.

For some reason, Garp felt like this kid was here specifically because of him. Although Yeyin hadn't done much besides picking up trash since arriving, Garp trusted his intuition.

"Because I want to join the Navy!" Yeto declared.

This idea had come to Yeto while sorting through the trash. He thought, if he joined the Navy, wouldn't he have endless opportunities to pick up trash every day?

After all, there were many powerful people in the Navy. As long as he could collect their discarded items, his strength would surely improve rapidly.

One day, with a sword in hand, standing atop a warship, and wearing the Justice cloak, he would roam the seas with great prestige!

"Join the Navy?"

"Big brother, you're not going to sail with us?" Luffy asked. "Weren't we supposed to become pirates together?"

Boom!

As soon as Luffy finished speaking, another large bump appeared on his head.
