Kasey couldn't believe how easy it was to get the two Pirates to play a game of Poker with her. You would think Pirates would be more cautious of random people they just met. Oh well, if she was going to get her questions answered might as well take their money too while she was at it. If she remembered it right the saying was 'Hit two birds with one stone'. To Kasey, one of the best things about going to Casinos in the lawless area of Sabaody was that they didn't care about your age as long as you could provide the money. Even if the majority of the said money was stolen. Casinos were extremely favored by criminals and crooks after all.

The casino she took them to was called 'Black Jacks' and it was one she went to every time she visited the Island. It was almost like a routine to her by this point, first she would go to Shakky's Rip Off Bar then she would head over to Black Jacks to play a couple games of Poker. Even though this place was considered to be a Casino, in actuality it was more like a huge bar where one could play Poker on one side of the building.

The place was busy as usual. It was packed with dozens of people who were either sitting around betting their hard-earned money or sitting at the bar also spending their hard-earned money. Kasey led the two to an empty table except for the dealer, a man over the age of 30 who looked like he had seen better days, sitting with a medium-sized golden pot in front of him. The table was located in the back of the bar which was close to the back exit in case things go south real quick.

Last time she checked, the two were Penguin and Shachi. Both were dressed in the exact same beige boiler suit with their crew's Jolly Roger: a yellow smiley face with protrusions going in six directions, painted on the left side of their chest. The only difference between the two of them was that Penguin was wearing a black cap with earflaps as well as a yellow brim, a red pompom on the top with the name 'Penguin' displayed across the front. While Shachi had shoulder-length shaggy red hair and was wearing a blue hat with a red brim as well as wearing a pair of sunglasses on his face.

Kasey wondered why would anyone voluntarily wear the same outfit, especially one of the color beige? Kasey didn't know the exact reason why she hated the color beige. She just found the color to be too boring and plain for her liking.

"What kind of game of Poker are we playing?" Shachi asked as they all sat around the table.

"I was thinking about Blackjacks. If that's okay with you two?" She smiled. The two nodded their heads showing they both agreed to her request.

"Then I will bet $1,000 Berries." She took the money from her pouch and threw the stack of cash into the pot. The other two followed suit with Penguin betting $1200 and Shachi betting $1500. Guess Sachi was feeling lucky, Kasey thought to herself. Now all she needed to do was distract the two pirates.

The dealer didn't say a single word as he dealt out two cards facing up to each player including himself, placing one of his cards face down on the table.

"Before we get started I was hoping to propose a wager. You know, to make the game more interesting for the winner." That got the two's attention as they both turned their gaze to Kasey's. As the girl was talking, she placed one of her hand's on the table, using her ability to change the numbers on all their cards without Shachi and Penguin noticing. The dealer who was looking at the cards at the time, just blinked for a moment before shaking his head. He didn't get paid enough to deal with this.

Shachi who was sitting across from her leaned forward as he raised an eyebrow. "What kind of wager are you proposing?"

"If you win I will take you two to your desired location but if I win I want you to answer some of my questions regarding your Captain. What do you say gentlemen, do we have ourselves a deal?" and see how much money I can take from you in the process.

Shachi turned his head to Penguin. "What do you think we should do Penguin?"

"There's not much we can do, Shachi. It's your fault we're in this mess in the first place." He responded before turning his head to Kasey. "We agree to the wager."

"Excellent. Since that's all settled let's get this game started." Kasey beamed.

Kasey looked down at the two cards in front of her. One card was a King of Spades and the other was an Ace of Hearts. Perfect, she thought to herself. What can she say, being a Devil Fruit User comes in handy.

In the end feeling lucky wasn't simply enough as Sachi's cards were: a seven of Clubs, a nine of Hearts, and a eight of Diamonds. Whereas Penguin's cards were: a ten of Spades, a nine of Clubs, and a four of Hearts. The game had just begun.

"21. I win again." Kasey gestured to her three cards which were a Jack of Spades, a six of Hearts, and a five of Diamonds, face up on the table for everyone to see. Thus concluding the end of their fourth round. The dealer remained unfazed at the girl's winning streak as he shrugged his shoulders. He slid the golden pot towards Kasey before he got up from the table and walked away, mumbling about needing a vacation.

Kasey quickly grabbed the money out of the pot and put it inside of her pouch.

"Great, first we got lost and now we lost all our money." Penguin groaned, slumping back into his chair.

"The Captain's definitely going to kill us now." Shachi laid his head on his arms which were resting in front of him on the table.

"That is if we can even find our way back to the ship. If you had forgotten, our map was ripped in half."

Kasey winced at how quickly the two got depressed over losing all their money in their game of Poker. Between the two of them, each had bet at least $8,000 berries, while she had betted only $10,000 berries. This was the first time she's seen this type of reaction in a game of Poker. The majority of people she's played Poker with would get mad and accuse her of cheating. This type of reaction would later lead to bar fights. This was the reason why she liked playing at the table's that were closer to the nearest emergency exit because it made escaping so much easier.

"I'll take you to your destination." Kasey sighed. Both Shachi and Penguin perked up with a dopey smile on their faces. She just hoped this decision wouldn't come back to bite her in the ass later on.

The trio had just entered Grove 27 and Kasey could feel her patience wearing thin. It wasn't that the two were being loud, they were actually really quiet, not one of them speaking a single word at all, not even to the other. It was just that they were too close to her.

As she was leading the two to their desired destination, she could feel Penguin and Shachi walk right behind her a little too close for her comfort. She knew they probably weren't doing it intentionally but she couldn't stand it when people who she didn't know or didn't like were too close to her. She especially hated it if that person was a Pirate. But Kasey valued those answers to her questions more than her own discomfort. For now she just had to play nice for a little while longer. Besides, Kasey was pretty sure their Captain wouldn't tell her anything if his two crewmates showed up all black and blue.

Kasey sighed in relief when she spotted the yellow submarine with a Jolly Roger painted on it. Just a quick in and out. There was no need for her to stay there longer than she should be. After she gets her answers they can part ways and pretend they never met each other in the first place. Easy-peasy. It wasn't like this was her first time dealing with Pirates. She has had plenty of dealings with Pirates over the course of her life. Too many that she couldn't remember the exact amount. However, she was mostly accompanied by someone else for the majority of those dealings.

When they got onto the deck of the submarine, Kasey noticed it was quiet way too quiet and that there was no one in sight. But what she found strange in this situation was that the sails weren't unfurled. Usually Pirates had their flag out for everyone to see. She shrugged her shoulders figuring everyone must be somewhere inside of the submarine. Okay, Penguin and Shachi will just go inside and bring their Captain outside, no big deal. She could handle this, no problem.

"Everyone must be inside." Shachi pointed out, causing Kasey to snap out of her thoughts in the process. Without wasting a single second more, Shachi took a hold of Kasey's forearm and dragged her inside the submarine with Penguin following closely behind.

Trafalgar Law was sitting on the couch in one of the submarine's extra rooms. This room was what they referred to as the discussion room. As the name suggested they used this room to discuss their future plans and any other questions or ideas anyone may have with the rest of the crew. It made things easier so then everyone would be on the same page. It was just a simple room with a large turquoise u-shaped modular couch that took up the entire left side of the room. He didn't know why the crew decided upon the color turquoise out of all things. He wasn't there when they bought it and brought it to the ship. By the time he got back to the ship and discovered what they had brought back, it was already too late to return it as they had managed to set it up. There was also a table and on the other side of the wall was a huge whiteboard, as well as a few beanbags in the corner.

Law propped his elbows on his knees, leaning his head against intertwined hands. Where could those two have run off too. They should have left Sabaody Archipelago a while ago. He had specifically told the crew to be back at 1:00 PM and according to the clock on the wall it was now 1:45 PM. Of course out of everybody on the crew it had to be Penguin and Shachi who were late. Even though Law was irritated at the two's lateness he couldn't help but worry for the two. What kind of Captain would he be if he didn't care about the wellbeing of his crew.

The door slammed open. Law lifted his head and turned to the door and saw his two missing crew members. He narrowed his eyes once he saw a third person standing there, one who he knew for a fact wasn't a part of his crew. Why out of all things would Shachi and Penguin bring a stranger aboard the ship? So much for sticking exactly to the plan.
