With Cathy and Camie's help, Lin Mo and the others made it into the residential area on the first floor of the Coral Apartments.

Just as Cathy and Camie had said, the water where they lived barely reached their ankles. Half the apartment had been fitted with a dry wooden floor raised a few inches above it.

They only had to cross a short stretch of ankle-deep water to get inside, but Enel and Kaku were Devil Fruit Users. Though it barely affected them, they could still feel a slight weakness in their feet.

"Camie, take care of them for me. We're running low on food, so I'm going out to buy some ingredients." With that, Cathy left the apartment building.

Camie enthusiastically prepared a bowl of kelp soup for each of the three. "Have some soup before dinner."

The three looked at the bowls she had brought over. There was hardly any oil in the broth, and it couldn't have been clearer. None of them reached for a spoon...

"Huh? What's wrong?" Camie asked when they didn't drink it. "Don't you like kelp soup?"

"Yes," the three answered in unison, without a hint of hesitation.

"Whoa!" Camie exclaimed. "You three are way too blunt..."

"Do you have anything else to drink?" Kaku asked awkwardly.

Camie thought for a moment. "There's cold wakame soup and seaweed soup. Which would you like?"

At that, all three fell silent.

"Don't tell me you dislike those too?" Camie asked in shock.

When all three nodded, she asked awkwardly, "Then what do you like? I'll see if we have any..."

"Wine," Lin Mo said.

"Fruit juice," Enel added.

"Tea," Kaku said with a smile.

Camie gave an embarrassed laugh. "Okay, plain water it is! Ha ha, ha ha ha..."

"You've got to be kidding."
