Fast Times At Strawhat VR Poker

Nami

Raise. One million berries.

Rabbit Hero

(His heartbeat just skipped. He's bluffing.)

Nami

What?! How does she keep calling my bluffs?

Rabbit Hero

Your breathing changed. You're scared.

Sanji

So beautiful... even when she's bankrupting Nami-swan!

Nami

That's impossible! Unless... you're cheating!

Rabbit Hero

Rabbit hearing, sweetheart. Your heartbeat sings louder than your poker face.

Nami

(If I can't beat her hearing, I'll play a different game entirely.)

Rabbit Hero

Ready to lose more money, cat-burglar?

Nami

Not money. Him.

Sanji

(Nami-swan is pointing at me! My heart!)

Rabbit Hero

(His pulse just spiked... but not from fear. This could be fun.)

Nami

One hand. Winner takes the cook.

Rabbit Hero

Royal flush. He's mine now.

Sanji

Mirko-chan is so magnificent! Take me anywhere!

Nami

(Wait... did I just lose the cook?)

Rabbit Hero

My prize is heavier than I thought. Hope you don't mind carrying your own weight, cook.

Nami

Put him down! One more game - winner takes the Thousand Sunny!

Rabbit Hero

(Her heartbeat is steady... but there's something else. She's planning something.)

Nami

High card draw. No tricks, no tells - just pure luck. Unless rabbit hearing works on virtual cards?

Rabbit Hero

(She's too confident. The virtual deck... it's shifting. But how?)

Nami

(The Clima-Tact's electromagnetic field is interfering with the VR system... she can't hear what doesn't exist!)

Rabbit Hero

King high... but your deck... it's not even shuffled properly!

Nami

Too chicken shit, rabbit girl? C'mon and play.

Rabbit Hero

Bet. You're on Nami. I'll take you for everything you've got.

Rabbit Hero

(My hearing's useless here... the virtual cards have no heartbeat.)

Nami

Last chance to fold, rabbit girl.

Rabbit Hero

All in. Show me what you've got.

Nami

(Perfect. The electromagnetic field from my Clima-Tact scrambled her hearing advantage.)

Rabbit Hero

Seven high... impossible.

Sanji

Nami-swan! Please release me from this wager! My heart belongs to all beautiful ladies!

Nami

Shut up and cook! The kitchen needs you more than these rabbit ears do.

Sanji

Yes ma'am! Nami-swan's wish is my command! I'll create the most romantic dinner!

Rabbit Hero

(Damn it. With the cook gone, I guess I'll have to go back to Uber eats.)
