With a sense of helplessness, Yeyin also went back to rest.
The next day...
"Yeyin, we can go clean now."
Carrotel, as a department head, realized after spending a day with Yeyin that he had somehow changed. Normally, his subordinates would handle the cleaning.
However, Yeyin was special, so Carrotel decided to accompany him himself! After all, Yeyin was like a fortune god to their cleaning department!
"I'm ready."
In the next second, Yeyin opened the door and walked out directly.
Anything else could be neglected, but something as important as picking up trash could never be overlooked.
"Then let's head to the office building now!"
Carrotel said this while leading Yeyin out.
Time passed day by day.
Originally, Yeyin planned to visit his "cheap" teacher Garp and find some familiar faces.
But Garp seemed to have been busy with something recently, and Yeyin hadn't seen him since the last time.So he went on with his cleaning duties.
A year flew by.
In the training ground...
"Yeyin, have you thought about training with me?"
Because Yeyin often came here to clean, he had become familiar with Zephyr.
And Zephyr had been wanting to take Yeyin as a student for a while now.
"Admiral Zephyr, you're here again."
"I've told you, I'm already Garp's disciple."
"If you want to take me as a student, you should go talk to my teacher, Garp."
Yeyin used Garp as a shield again.
"Ugh, that guy… fine."
"Kuzan is graduating today."
"If it weren't for you, he'd probably have to wait another two years. How about it? Want to see the results of my teaching?"
Zephyr slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly.
After all, if he could just show Yeyin the fruits of his training, maybe he would be interested in joining.
"Sure!"
Yeyin had been wanting to give it a try.
A year had passed, and he certainly hadn't been idle.
"You can also use your Devil Fruit powers. This kid's mastery of his abilities has gotten much stronger," Zephyr kindly reminded.
"My powers?"
"No, if I use them, he'll die."
Yeyin smiled and stepped directly onto the training field.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a man holding a jitte, with a cigarette in his mouth, swung it at him.
"You're the Yeyin that Lord Kuzan spoke of, right?"
"I'm fourteen too, and I challenge you!"
The challenger was none other than Smoker, the infamous Marine known for constantly losing to Luffy.
"Smoker?"
"You're too weak."
"Boom!"
As Yeyin spoke, he instantly used Soru.
Yeyin's fist made close contact with Smoker.
In the next moment, Smoker was sent flying.
"Your strength has improved quite a bit!"
A chill slowly spread over the area.
"Kuzan, you're not bad either!"
"But since when did you take in such a dim-witted underling?"
Yeyin pointed at the fallen Smoker, teasing.
"Him? He's a good person!"
"Everyone back off, I'm going to fight Yeyin."
As Kuzan spoke, a cold air spread across the entire training ground.
Compared to his previous mastery of the ice-ice fruit, Kuzan had become even more powerful in his usage of it now.
The others quickly retreated from the training ground, watching as the strongest figures, Kuzan and Yeyin, prepared to battle.
