214 Hit me.

The group arrived in Rainbase and split up, Yami and Yachiru walked around in awe at the gambling district in the middle of a desert. They walked around the city looking at all the people, Yachiru said "Oh, lover! Can we go gamble!?" Yami said "Okay!" felling a bit excited himself, they walked into the casino and took out money before sitting at a table.

Yachiru whispered "What's Blackjack?" Yami whispered back "I don't know. Let's watch and see." the cards came and Yami and Yachiru looked at the Jack and 10 in front of them. The guy before them made a cutting motion and Yachiru did the same with a curious look.

The dealer flipped his cards over and revealed 13, he took another card, it was an 8. He said "21, dealer wins." Yami hummed to himself and Yachiru said "Huh? We lost?" Yami said "I think the point of the game is to get 21." Yachiru whispered "But this guy didn't have 21, he had 18." Yami frowned and said "Yeah, I don't know what he's thinking... Maybe he doesn't know how to play either?"

Yachiru nodded and said "This must be the case." Yami said "Alright, this time we got this!" Yachiru nodded seriously and watched as they were dealt an Ace and a 7, Yami said "Give me another card." The dealer said "You can just say 'Hit me'" Yachiru punched him in the face and looked confused, Yami said "I don't think he meant to actually hit him."

She said "Then why did he say hit me?" Yami shook his head and said "I don't know." he looked around and said "Excuse me! This guy passed out!" a new dealer came and said "Hello, everyone! Who's turn is it?" Yami said "I would like another card please." the dealer said "You can just say 'Hi-" Yami covered his mouth and said "I understand, please just give cards."

Yachiru pouted and Yami chuckled, the dealer was informed of what happened to the previous dealer and let out a breath of relief as he gave Yami another card. It was a 3. The dealer immediately paid him 2.5x his bet which was 50,000 belli.

Yachiru clapped "We won!" Yami said "Um, did you make a mistake?" The dealer explained "An Ace is either 11 or 1, sir." Yami said "OHHH! I see." Yachiru kissed his cheek and said "You really won! This is so fun!"

Yami smiled, it was pretty fun actually. He bet all his money this time which was 625,000 belli. The cards came King Jack for Yami and Yachiru, Yami heard a sweet song from the cards to come and said "Hit me." The dealer said "Sir." Yami said "Come on, stop acting like a woman." Yachiru snorted and Yami chuckled "Not you, love." she pursed her lips into a smile and the dealer dealt an Ace!

Yachiru cheered and the Dealer let out a breath "1,562,500 Belli cash." he gave Yami and Yachiru that and they were stunned, Yami said "So easy?" Yachiru hugged him in excitement and they bet it all again.

They continued winning until the dealer changed to Ms All-Sunday. She smiled and shuffled the deck extremely fast saying with a smile "Aren't you a little young to be in here, Scarf-kun?" Yami said "I'm 16 years old this year." she smiled and said "Ara Ara~ Definitely a bad habit you're picking up here, scarf-kun. Last time, okay?"

Yami nodded and she dealt, Yami and Yachiru got 4 and Yami said "Hit me." she dealt him a 2 and Yami repeated himself, she dealt him a 3, he had 9 right now. Yami started to sweat and said "Hit me." she smiled and dealt an Ace.

Yami narrowed his eyes and said "Again." she pursed her lips and said "Are you sure, scarf-kun?" Yami nodded and Yachiru was hugging him nervously, All-Sunday slowly took a new card and put it down before slowly flipping it up, increasing the tension as much as possible.

It flipped over, Ace of Hearts!

Yami threw his hands up and the crowd cheered crazily, Yachiru jumped up and down and All-Sunday giggled "Congratulations, Scarf-kun~!" Yami smiled and took all the chips, leaving the table and asking "What do I do with these?" Yachiru said "Eh? I don't know..." All-Sunday said "Follow me~"

Yami and Yachiru followed her to a cashier and Yami dropped his literal bucketful of chips on the counter. The cashier was stunned and started counting. In the end, they got a lot of money that Yami didn't care for. Yachiru store it all in her backpack and smiled happily.

All-Sunday said "What are you here for, Scarf-kun?" Yami opened his mouth to speak when there was a 'BOOM!' and a shouted "CROCODILE! I'M HERE TO KICK YOUR ASS!" Yami said "That." All-Sunday held her face and said "Ara Ara." Yami waved and said "Thanks!" before walking after them, holding Yachiru's hand as they left after Luffy and the others, who were being chased by Smoker.

The duo came to a hole in the floor and looked down at the crew and Smoker. Yachiru said "Hey!" Luffy looked up and said "Hey!" Yami said "How did you fall down there?" Luffy shrugged and Yami said "Do you need help?" Luffy said "No that's okay!"

Yachiru said "Maybe there's treasure down there?" Yami said "Not likely. They look trapped." Yachiru said "But wouldn't it be fun to pretend to be trapped?" Yami smiled and said "You're right... Let's go." Yachiru giggled and they jumped into the cell.

They landed down and smiled "Hey!" Nami shouted "Now you're stuck here too!" Yami shrugged and said "So? It's fun!" Yachiru nodded, peeking her head out from his scarf. Nami sighed and gave up.
