Drinking underage!

Shanks thought for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, I hate this stupid uniform anyway, too bad we had to leave our clothes back at Garp's place."

The group headed to a store that sold clothes, they looked for one with a special symbol on the doorway that signified it was mob-owned.

15 minutes later they all came out in new outfits.

Shanks had red shorts and a white button shirt that he only buttoned up halfway. He was wearing the straw hat that Roger had given him for the first time in a while as he wasn't allowed to wear it when he was a marine.

He was wearing his sword on his waist and it was supported by his belt, which was brown.

Buggy was wearing a yellow shirt with vertical red stripes, he also bought a red hat with similar vertical stripes on it, but the stripes were orange. He had bought blue pants and a purple scarf which he wrapped around his waist like a belt.

April had on a red and white shirt that was held together by four buttons that were themed after the suits of cards. She had a blue skirt that matched the colour of her hair and could only be seen from the front as the rest of it was covered by her shirt that hung lower than it. She had white silk gloves that covered her hands and wrists and only cut off above her elbows. Additionally she was wearing a hat that was decorated like a clown's outfit would be.

Alex was wearing an all black outfit with red accents. He had also changed out his gloves for black coloured ones he had made recently and it was the same with his boots. His collar was done all the way up and covered half his neck. Additionally, on top of his shirt was a black jacket with a hood. The straps were left undone and the lining was crimson red, even in the hood. It was the same outfit he had on in his bounty poster. He liked it when he had it at Marineford, but unfortunately he had to leave it behind, so he was glad he had got it back.

Once everyone had gotten their new outfits, the question of what to do now presented itself again.

Alex smiled and put on a fedora he had just bought. "Isn't it obvious? Tis' time to gamble."

Shanks laughed and agreed. "To the big shiny building we go!"

Buggy sighed and followed along while April giggled, excited to go to a casino for the first time.

The group walked down the main street and eventually arrived in front of the huge building with bright shining lights. Alex smiled and flipped his fedora slightly up. He looked at the two people guarding the entrance with huge cigars in their mouths.

"Have any spares?" Alex asked.

They frowned when they saw him until Alex pulled a wad of belli out.

The two guards gave him a whole bundle of them. Alex smiled and offered them to the group, who all accepted.

Alex had 4 of his fingers turn into cigar cutters and chopping off the ends before they morphed into lighters and lit them all. The four kicked open the large entrance doors with their new outfits and cigars in their mouths.

Everyone's heads turned to the group at the entrance before quickly losing interest. Alex and Shanks led the group and walked over to a blackjack table. A waitress walked by and was flagged down by Alex.

"Three whiskeys, and whatever the lady wants." He said.

"I'll also have a whiskey." April spoke up.

The waitress nodded. "Right away sir."

Alex smiled and he and Shanks both threw some money on the table. "Can we get some chips?" Shanks asked.

Buggy looked at them confused. "What are you two doing? Why does it feel like you've done this before? Wait, first of all! I never said I wanted a whiskey."

Shanks chuckled. "You can't not get a whiskey if you have the cigar, that's practically a crime."

Alex smiled as he grabbed the chips the dealer handed him. "Also, we have done this before. There was a casino on Marineford. I did the owner a favor when I made something he needed, so he let us in a few times."

"Really?!" Buggy asked.

Alex chuckled before coughing viciously. "But… it is our first time having a cigar."

Shanks laughed at Alex coughing. "You're not supposed to lung hit, moron!"

Alex kept coughing. "I know." He coughed again. "I didn't mean to."

Shanks laughed as he threw in a few chips to get the round started.

Alex also tossed in his chips and the two received their cards.

Buggy scratched his cheek. "I don't know much about cards… I think I'll try the slots."

Alex chuckled. "Those things will drain your pockets… I've made some before. Trust me, the odds aren't worth it."

Buggy stuck out his tongue mockingly. "Just watch, I, Buggy the great. Will win more money than you!"

Shanks chuckled and waved as Buggy left. "Good luck!"

Alex smiled and the waitress returned with four whiskeys. Only, Buggy and April had already left.

Shanks and Alex looked at each other and smiled. "More for us!" Shanks said happily as the dealer revealed his hand, showing that the boys lost.
