In just one day, both pirates and merchants, and even the homes of civilians, had been "swept clean."
Although he didn't acquire any powerful items or skills, he gained a large amount of pick-up points!
Yeyin's current goal was to accumulate 300,000 points to exchange for Esdeath's Teigu, the Demon's Extract.
This thing was even more powerful than Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit!
So now, the most important thing was collecting pick-up points.
After making his rounds, Yeyin returned to the bar.
At this moment, Dragon was engaged in a discussion with Issho about the state of the world.
Even after a whole day, the two were still deeply engrossed in their conversation.
"Dragon, Mr. Issho."
"Don't you feel like good conversation is as enjoyable as a thousand drinks?"
Yeyin approached them and spoke slowly.
"Dragon is truly an extraordinary person. His thoughts and insights far exceed those of ordinary people!"
Issho didn't hold back his praise.
It was rare to see Issho speak so highly of someone.
"Oh, is that so?"
"Dragon, are you all set?"
Yeyin asked again.
"We've found an unclaimed Sky Island, and I'm now preparing to go to the South Blue to find an old friend of mine."
"With him, our actions will be much easier."
Dragon replied directly.
"You're going to look for Bartholomew Kuma?"
Hearing Dragon's words, Yeyin immediately thought of the man known as the Tyrant, Kuma.
"You know him too?"
"It seems he really is a good choice for a partner!"
Seeing that Yeyin knew Kuma, Dragon became even more confident in his decision.
"You can go find him and have him apply for the Warlord position with the Navy."
Yeyin suggested.
Once Kuma became a Warlord, it would be a great help to Dragon and his team.
Not only could he perfectly conceal his identity, but he could also gather a lot of information.
Most importantly, he would have access to Vegapunk.
…
Afterward, Yeyin began explaining to Dragon the key points of his gradual strategy.
He also asked for Dragon's Vivre Card and an Eternal Pose for the Sky Island.
After arranging everything, he unsurprisingly had them create some trash.
The next day, Dragon and his group departed.
It wasn't because they feared Yeyin would rope them into cleaning up trash, but because there was so much to be done.
Yeyin had given them plenty to work on!
"Mr. Issho, now you know what I'm trying to do, right?"
After Dragon and his group left, Yeyin spoke to Issho.
"Sir, your foresight is beyond that of ordinary people. Dragon said his ideals come from you."
"I would be honored to follow you for life, to serve by your side."
Issho replied without hesitation.
Previously, Issho had been in a period of assessment regarding his view of Yeyin, but now he was fully convinced.
"Mr. Issho, we are never in a superior-subordinate relationship."
"We're just partners brought together by shared ideals, each fulfilling our own roles."
Yeyin said slowly.
Hearing Yeyin's words further strengthened Issho's resolve to follow him.
Over these past months, he had come to understand Yeyin completely.
He was merciful to his own people.
Even pirates, if they were redeemable, would be forgiven.
But as for slave traders, Yeyin would never hesitate to act.
Such a person was worth following!
