Five days later.
The streets, which had been cleaned by Yeyin multiple times, were now spotless. The people of Pirdax had grown accustomed to such cleanliness, so much so that Yeyin had to "raid" people's homes just to find trash to pick up.
On this day, several warships arrived at the island of Pirdax.
"Yeyin, stop cleaning! The teacher has arrived. Hurry and come with me!" Hina said, having searched the entire town before finally finding Yeyin cleaning in a restaurant.
"Wait a minute, I'll finish cleaning up after these customers and then I'll go," Yeyin replied with a smile.
Zephyr could wait; cleaning up the trash came first.
A few minutes later, the diners finished their meals and left quickly, feeling uncomfortable being watched.
After tidying up the restaurant, Yeyin followed Hina to the shore, where Zephyr stood waiting, carrying three large bags.
"Well, well, you knew I was coming, didn't you? Off cleaning again, huh?" Zephyr joked.
"Yep."
"Hand over the trash, and by the way, what are you doing here?" Yeyin asked, a little confused, as Zephyr was mainly responsible for training and protecting Marineford. Why had he come to the West Blue?
"Uh…" Zephyr hesitated. "Everyone, take a look! This is our youngest Marine colonel, Yeyin, just fourteen years old! How about you all? While he's already capturing pirates worth millions, what have you done?"
Zephyr suddenly shifted the conversation, addressing the marines aboard the warships behind him. As it turned out, Zephyr had brought the entire training camp along.
"Uh…"
"Admiral Zephyr, if you're using me as a teaching example, shouldn't I get something in return?" Yeyin asked slyly.
"Alright, let's head back!" Zephyr said, quickly leaping back to the warship using Moonwalk and departing swiftly.
Watching Zephyr flee, Yeyin sighed helplessly. All he wanted was some trash; why was Zephyr so afraid?
"Hina, check the supplies and prepare for departure," Yeyin said, turning to Hina.
"Hina will go right away," she responded happily. Originally the ship's navigator, Hina had now become the first mate, handling most of the ship's affairs.
As always, Yeyin remained the ship's janitor.
With some free time, Yeyin returned to the warship and began going through the trash Zephyr had brought.
["Ding! Picked up three of Garp's discarded napkins. Strength increased by 150. Scavenge points: 50."]
["Ding! Picked up three of Tsuru's discarded newspapers. Mental power increased by 150. Scavenge points: 50."]
["Ding! Picked up…"]
...
Soon, Yeyin had sorted through all the trash. There were 17 items discarded by admirals or higher ranks. It seemed there weren't many admirals left at Marineford recently.
As for Fleet Admiral Kong's trash, there wasn't any! It looked like Yeyin would need to have a chat with Zephyr next time.
But for now, he decided to let it go.
After organizing the loot, Yeyin returned to his cabin to rest. He had been overworking his brain lately, and it was time for a break.
