Really turned into a huge issue!

A while later

Tenshi was sitting on a cobblestone wall, looking at the Merry, holding his chin in thought. He had been sitting here for a while. He was trying to think how to get money, the coffee cart was in the Cafe.

He couldn't magically make coffee out of thin air even if he bought more beans and milk from the system. He wasn't going to make people drink his Coffee Blood Limit, that was gross.

Big problem, I'm broke!

Haku leaned on the wall and sighed, "We should've prepared." Karin held her knees, leaning on the wall with her back, retorting "How, exactly?" Haku pursed his lips, "I was just saying…"

Mocha sat on the wall next to Tenshi, holding her chin with her paw, crossing her legs like a human. She meowed and Tenshi waved, "What? That won't work." Mocha nodded and returned to thinking.

Tenshi snorted, should he get on Rocketman and steal a navy warship? But then… what would he do with it? They were so ugly! Nobody would buy such a thing!

He checked the System and it did convert Ryo to Beli, the problem was, his 1.5 Million turned to 800,000 Beli. He could only buy 8000 Choppers!

Only! He obviously needed more!

Even if he used all his money, he didn't even have 1 million Beli. He was a real poor man! What a tragedy.

Turns out, being broke in One Piece and not the Protagonist was a problem! Another problem was… even if he wanted to trade modern ship secrets with Iceberg… he didn't know how any of that stuff worked!

He only knew how to make Coffee Machines… and other random junk that popped into his head. He couldn't magically figure out how to build a ship!

Then he had a sudden thought!

Franky was going to the Black Market today, right?

Tenshi's brain was in overdrive, they could go to the Black Market and rob everyone, right??

He said "Stay here!" as he flapped his wings and shot off, flying into the sky.

Haku and Karin looked at each other before sighing.

Tenshi touched down on the train station, he jumped down and looked at the boarding schedule before paleing, the train left already?!

Tenshi wanted to cry!

Was this world against him making some money or what?!

Everyone was shocked as Tenshi flew into the sky, flying away.

He came back to the wall and said sadly "I give up. We'll just die here." Karin's lips twitched and she asked "What do we do now?" Haku sighed, "Boss, maybe we should just set up shop here…"

Tenshi was unwilling, he wanted a sea cafe! And a Mermaid employee!

He was invigorated at the thought of a cute mermaid serving customers!

This would be too enticing! People would come in droves to see his cute mermaid waitress!

Damn!

He frowned, "We're going back to Iceberg." Haku tilted his head, "For?" Tenshi nodded, "We're gonna sell Karin." Karin was dumbfounded and said "Wha-? But Boss!" Tenshi looked at her and sighed, "You're right… You're not worth much." Karin felt her heart break as Haku patted her shoulder with sympathy.

Tenshi looked firm, "Then there's only one way…"

A few minutes later

Tenshi held his palms together, "Boss-berg! I'm begging you, make me a ship for free! Please!" Iceberg was speechless, "Who even are you?!" Haku and Karin covered their faces, extremely embarrassed.

Tenshi sighed and scratched his head, "Why is this so hard! It's just money. Do you have no money? You scratch my back and I'll… well do nothing." Iceberg shouted "You're too honest!" before calming down, "I can't just make you a ship for free, I don't even know who you are."

Tenshi blinked and said "I'm Tenshi." Iceberg nodded, "Well, now that I know… Wait a minute! No, sorry." Tenshi pouted "Please?" Iceberg looked at him and sighed "Well…" Kalifa cleared her throat, Iceberg turned his face, "I can't!"

Tenshi held his chin, sitting down in Iceberg's office. Tenshi was really worried and excited this whole time, so he's been a bit all over the place. Now that he was broke and seemingly hopeless, he was getting desperate.

Should he sell himself as a slave?

He was running out of options!

They couldn't walk to the next island, right?!

That was ridiculous!

Honestly, he was really drawing a blank.

When he snapped the World token, he didn't think about these problems! He was just excited for something new.

Even the author was confused.

The only option seemed to be… tagging along with Luffy on the Rocketman!

Then they could steal a Navy Warship!

Or just straight up take the blueprints for Pluton!

But what was he going to do with those?

He was building a cafe ship, not an Ancient Weapon!

Was it going to shoot espresso into BigMom's mouth? Please!

But! As much as Tenshi liked Luffy and the rest… he didn't want to go wherever he went… Although he had a feeling that's what was going to happen… You know, everywhere they go, there's a LOT of people!

So many potential customers… But no! Tenshi knew the spots, he wanted to have his own adventure… if it was boring, he would just shamelessly follow them. Anyway, it didn't really matter.

But they needed to go to Skypiea!

Kidnap a few of the- Find a good 'employee' and also get some dials! He only hoped that Usopp didn't clean them out! Tenshi counted on his fingers and muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, Iceberg was looking at him speechlessly, this…

This was his office, right? What was this funny guy doing in here??

He looked at Kalifa, who sighed and shook her head, she didn't know either… But she had a vague feeling it was sexual harassment. Although! This winged guy… Suspiciously reminded her of something else.

Was this guy a Lunarian? She heard legends of winged people in CP Training camp. Then there was that guy on Kaido's crew, but he had black wings and… his entire being was sexual harassment…
