The next day, with Dadann's reluctant feelings, Yeyin left the place.
Before leaving, he met with the three little ones.
He said only one thing to them:
"In seven years, don't let yourselves be too much weaker than me!"
Then, he left with Garp.
That simple sentence ignited the small universe in the hearts of the three little ones! It laid a solid foundation for their future strength.
On Garp's ship:
"Hey kid who wants to join our Navy. What's your name again?" Garp asked, somewhat puzzled, looking at Yeyin.
"My name is Grote Yeyin. You can just call me Yeyin. From now on, I'll help clean up all the trash on the ship."
"Don't even think about competing with me! I'm officially Garp's personally appointed cleaner!" Yeyin introduced himself humorously to the entire crew.
"Hahaha, this kid is really something!"
"Alright, we won't compete with you!" A group of Navy soldiers burst out laughing.
Thus, Yeyin became a member of this warship.
That night, Yeyin was alone in his cabin.
"System, display the panel!" With a thought, he summoned his status panel.
[Host: Yeyin]
Age: 12
Pick-up Value: 117,000
Strength: 680
Speed: 210
Defense: 180
Agility: 290
Spirit: 450
[Base attributes for a normal human: 50]
[Abilities: Intermediate-Advanced Armament Haki, Beginner-level Conqueror's Haki, Gunmanship lv3, Swordsmanship lv5, Digestion 320.]
[Items: Great Sword "Falling Rain," Fine Sword "Xiling," a box of herring cans, King's underpants...]
[Wealth: 28.38 million Beli]
[Title: Scavenger Rookie [Equipped, +50 technical attributes, +10 charm points]
[Portable Space (Beginner): 10 cubic meters]
"System, upgrade the portable space!"
The first thing Yeyin wanted to do now was to increase his portable space. This way, he wouldn't have to sneak around when picking things up. If anything went missing, he could just blame it on a Devil Fruit.
["Ding, consuming 100,000 pick-up points, upgrading portable space to intermediate level."]
[Intermediate Portable Space: Capacity of 1,000 cubic meters; after picking up items, they automatically appear in the portable space.]
The original 10 cubic meters of space expanded a hundredfold. Now, even a small boat could be thrown inside.
However, seeing the title of "Rookie" on his panel still made Yeyin a little unhappy. But he was confident that one day, he could raise it to "Cleaning King!"
"Boom!"
At that moment, a huge jolt occurred, along with loud crashing sounds.
"Vice Admiral Garp, we're under attack by a Sea King from the nearby waters!"
Soon after, the Navy soldiers outside shouted.
"Wow, a Sea King! Isn't that the thing that took Red-Haired Shanks' arm?"
When Yeyin saw that sea king he remembered it and rushed out excitedly.
Soon, a giant sea serpent-like creature appeared in his line of sight. The creature was at least the length of a small warship, baring its fangs at the Navy on the deck.
"Tch, seriously!"
"Old folks need their sleep at night, don't you know?" Garp leaped into the air and threw a punch.
