Pirates: How Many Divisions Do the Five Elders Have? "Do You Still Want to Open It?" (Thanks to Definitely Not Megatron for the 5,000-Coin Tip)

"This Den Den Mushi seems to have choked on water..."

The old fisherman was a little embarrassed. "This is Den Den Mushi I fished out of the sea a couple of days ago. It was probably dropped into the sea by some careless traveler."

I tried it, but it's beyond repair. However, I think it might still be salvageable...

Den Den Mushi snail telephone mushi) are certainly valuable, but a waterlogged Den Den Mushi is a different story.

The repair cost, or rather the cost of treating the Den Den Mushi, is extremely expensive; it might even cost as much as buying a new Den Den Mushi.

Using something like this as a thank-you gift is rather perfunctory.

But there was nothing they could do; all the old fisherman's money had been looted by the Krieg Pirates.

It's just that the newly appointed rookie combatant, Gangplank, is relatively merciful. If it were the former pirate captains, these old men would have been searched three times a day, and not even a scrap of paper would have been left behind.

In short, the old fisherman looked at Sanji with trepidation.

The only thing he could offer as a token of his feelings was this Den Den Mushi that he had accidentally retrieved.

I really can't bear not doing something!

"Hey! Sanji, are you slacking off again?"

At that moment, the owner and head chef, Red-Leg Zeff, rang out in the restaurant.

"You're so long-winded, you old geezer!"

Sanji called out towards the restaurant, then turned and nodded to the fishermen. "Thank you, I really enjoyed it."

He bent down to pick up the "gear of Destiny," then turned back to the restaurant to continue preparing today's ingredients.

The night was deep.

The last group of customers patted their round bellies as they sailed away, and the Baratie restaurant finally closed for the day.

Urged on by Chef Zeff, the chefs rolled up their sleeves and thoroughly cleaned the restaurant, kitchen, and other areas.

Another half hour later, Sanji returned to his cramped single room, yawning.

"Are we out of cigarettes again?"

Sanji sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the empty cigarette box with some hesitation.

"That old man is so stingy! The allowance he gives me is only enough to buy cigarettes!"

Sanji grabbed his hair, looked up at the sky and sighed, "When will I ever save enough money to buy a deluxe edition of 'East Blue Ladies'?!"

After a moment of reflection, Sanji pulled a small cloth bag from the drawer, reluctantly took out a few 100- Beli coins, and muttered to himself, "I should go borrow the Sea Motorbike from Carne. This money should be enough to buy a pack of Life-Shortening Brand Cigarettes!"

These cigarettes, which come from the Grand Line, cost five times as much as the cheapest cigarettes from the mainland, but it has to be said that they don't make you cough, so they're very cost-effective!

It was precisely because the budget for cigarettes had increased fivefold that Sanji was unable to obtain the erotic magazine he had been wanting for so long.

Just as Sanji was about to put the money bag back in the drawer and lock it, and then borrow a motorcycle from his colleague to go out and buy cigarettes, he suddenly stopped.

The almost forgotten Den Den Mushi slowly crawled out of Sanji's arms.

Sanji's eyebrows furrowed, wondering what was going on with this little bug.

Have you recovered?

Or were they simply taking a walk?

In short, no matter how you look at it, this Den Den Mushi seems harmless.

However, as the Den Den Mushi slowly followed Sanji's arm and leisurely approached the money pouch, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, it stretched its neck, opened its mouth to an unbelievable size, and swallowed the money pouch in Sanji's hand in one gulp.

Then, it burped and slowly said, "You have successfully recharged 1180 Beli into your phone account. Your account balance is 1180 Beli. Have a nice day!"

"Nani!"

Sanji's eyes widened; he could hardly believe what he was seeing.

Once he was sure he wasn't dreaming, Sanji immediately grabbed the Den Den Mushi by the neck and furiously demanded, "Give me back my porn magazines—no, I mean my savings!"

As he spoke, Sanji turned the Den Den Mushi upside down, trying to pour out his money.

However, even after shaking the Den Den Mushi until it vomited, it didn't spit out a single coin.

Sanji slumped back onto the bed, feeling as if his entire life had turned gray.

The voluptuous ladies in those erotic magazines are gone...

Etc!

Sanji suddenly realized.

Although I lost a bag of coins, I gained a healthy Den Den Mushi!

Sanji hadn't thought much of it before, assuming the Den Den Mushi was nearing its end, but now it seems quite energetic!

Well...

Seeing the Den Den Mushi foaming at the mouth, Sanji immediately knelt down:

"Hey, please, please don't die! Please!"

I was just joking with you! I'll prepare a delicious meal for you right away!

With that, Sanji quickly put the Den Den Mushi into the drawer, then borrowed a Sea Motorbike from a colleague, floored the gas pedal, and sped off to the town.

After much effort, Sanji finally managed to buy the mushrooms that Den Den Mushi) love from a food store that was still open, and hurriedly rushed back to Baratie.

Then he rushed into the kitchen, lit the fire, and took the pot off the stove...

Soon, the ordinary dried feed mushrooms were transformed into a delicious mushroom soup and presented to the Den Den Mushi.

The previously sickly Den Den Mushi sniffed, then Kog'Maw again and gulped down the entire bowl of mushroom soup before spitting it out.

"It's good that you've recovered! There's really no illness that a delicious meal can't cure!"

Sanji wiped the sweat from his brow, relieved that the money he spent on the mushrooms and cigarettes hadn't been wasted.

Then, Sanji's expression suddenly changed, revealing a devilish smirk as he approached the Den Den Mushi step by step. "Next, I'll sell you off! Hehehe, a Den Den Mushi! I wonder how many good magazines I can get for it!"

As Sanji was thinking, a trickle of blood appeared from his nose.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi suddenly rolled over, revealing its belly.
