Seeing the determined look in Yeyin's eyes, Garp felt a bit helpless.
He couldn't exactly force the kid to be his disciple, could he?
Besides, even if he tried to pressure him, it might not work anyway!
"How about we talk it over?" Garp suggested.
"You like cleaning, right? If you're my disciple, I'll take you wherever you want to clean!"
"I know you don't like being restricted, but you just have to tell others that you're my disciple."
Garp tried to persuade him gently.
"Okay!"
"Master Garp!" Yeyin suddenly changed his expression, rushing over and hugging Garp's leg.
"Uh, you little brat, what are you doing!" Garp exclaimed.
"Alright, take it easy for today, I—"
"Master, don't go, throw some trash first before leaving!"
Just as Garp was about to leave, Yeyin immediately spoke up.
Since he had grabbed Garp's leg, he figured he might as well ask for some kind of initiation gift.
"Uh, I don't have anything on me, let me just eat some Senbei first."
Garp slowly ate a few snacks and tossed out a few bags of food.
"Is that enough?"
Garp sighed. Taking this kid as his disciple... was it really a good idea?
The kid had no issues with talent or character, but this strange habit of picking up trash was just too odd. Plus, his Devil Fruit ability was a bit peculiar.
"Master, you still have a sword, right? Why don't you break it and throw it out for me?"
Yeyin had noticed Garp's sword at his waist earlier.
But in Yeyin's memory, Garp didn't even use a sword!
"This is left by my previous disciple."
"You…"
"I'll trade you my Xiling for it."
Before Garp could finish, Yeyin quickly handed over his Xiling.
The Fast Sword Technique was already not good enough for him, and Garp's discarded sword could either be a powerful sword or something rare!
"You little brat, I really—"
"Click…"
"Alright, I'm leaving now."
Garp took the Xiling from Yeyin and quickly left.
Otherwise, he would probably end up being stripped down if he stayed here any longer.
[Ding! You picked up a discarded food bag from Garp and gained Armament Haki Level 1.]
[Ding! You picked up a discarded food bag from Garp and gained Armament Haki Level 1.]
...
[Ding! You picked up a broken sword discarded by Garp and gained Big Fast Sword Spiritual Echo and Swordsmanship Level 3.]
Soon, Yeyin finished cleaning up the trash on the ground.
He checked his swordsmanship and found it had already improved to Level 6.
Moreover, he had gained another Sword Technique.
Time to practice.
Yeyin looked at the sky and left the place.
Earlier in the day, when he was exploring, Yeyin noticed a desolate mountain nearby.
There was no one around, and it had many trees and rocks.
It was a perfect place to practice his abilities.
"Ching…"
Yeyin unsheathed his Falling Rain and Spirit Echo .
Armament Haki quickly spread over the blades.
Although he could only cover the edges of the two swords for now, it was enough.
"Hoo... Hoo... Hoo…"
Yeyin started swinging them.
With his powerful base attributes, the trees in front of him were easily cut down.
Even some rocks were easily sliced in half.
