Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Tsuru's Doubts!

As for Yeyin, he was standing outside the door, waiting there.

He wasn't like Garp, barging into an admiral's courtyard as he pleased!

"Little one, come in!"

At that moment, a familiar voice came from the courtyard—it was Tsuru's voice.

"Sorry for the disturbance!"

Yeyin saluted and slowly walked inside.

At this time, Garp and Tsuru were talking about something.

However, it was clear from Tsuru's expression that she was somewhat displeased.

Because Garp, this guy, had already thrown two snack bags on the ground.

"Admiral Tsuru, I am Grote Yeyin, preparing to join the navy to become a cleaner."

Yeyin briefly introduced himself.

Tsuru, who had been frowning slightly, showed interest after hearing Yeyin's words and looked at him.

"You came here just to clean up trash?"

"Or do you have some special ability when it comes to cleaning?"

Tsuru spoke kindly.

She was still quite gentle toward newcomers.

"Look, I carry a broom and a trash bag with me!"

Yeyin casually took out a broom and a bag.

"Is this your Devil Fruit ability?"

"What else can it do?"

Tsuru calmly asked.

In this world, strange abilities were nothing new, so she wasn't surprised.

"Anything that's trash, once I clean it up, will disappear completely."

Yeyin said again.

"That ability has some use."

"If you want to be a cleaner, then go report to Carotel."

"Gion, take him there."

Tsuru instructed.

"Got it, sister. Kid..."

Before Gion could finish speaking, Yeyin had already swiftly cleaned up the trash bin and the litter Garp had just thrown on the ground.

"Sorry, I have a bit of OCD. I can't help but clean up when I see trash."

Yeyin said, smiling sheepishly.

"Go on!"

Tsuru didn't say much, only smiled and nodded.

Afterward, led by Gion, Yeyin left the area.

"Garp, bringing back such a young person, did you investigate carefully?"

"This kid isn't simple!"

Tsuru said once Yeyin and the others were far away.

"Investigate?"

"This guy's information is as clean as a blank sheet of paper. The only unusual thing is that his past is a bit tragic."

Garp took out Yeyin's file and handed it to Tsuru.

"Twelve years old?"

"Already capable of manifesting Armament Haki externally, and you just saw his speed."

"And you said he learned Moonwalk just by watching you use it once. You didn't even teach him."

"Such a person only wants to be a cleaner. Tell me, why?"

Tsuru asked again.

"I know why, but I'm not telling you."

"Alright, I'm off to have tea with Sengoku."

"By the way, do you want some rice crackers?"

Garp said mischievously.

"Get lost!"

Tsuru responded with an exasperated 'Get lost.'

This guy, really...

As Garp walked away, Tsuru looked in the direction Yeyin had gone and fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, Gion was walking with Yeyin through the busy streets.

"So, the Marine Headquarters also has civilians?"

Looking at the bustling crowd, Yeyin asked in confusion.
