Shanks vs his Crew - The time he lost everything at strip poker

(Ao3 Link)

Spin-off of "The Awkward truths are still truths Corner" Pt. 1. Original draft:

Shanks (visibly frustrated and not nearly drunk enough): Why am I the only one here who lost everything but his pants while you only took off your hair tie, Beck? It shouldn't even count as a article of clothing in a game like this! So why can't I win?

Beckman (with a smug grin): Because I've practically raised you since you were sixteen, captain, so I know you and your many tells.

Shanks (pouting): But that should mean that I can win, too. And I won against Whitebeard last week! Fuck, I've beaten Sengoku the Buddha once!

Beckman (feeling another black strand turn gray on his head all at once): When the hell did you find the time to play Strip Poker with the Navy's Fleet Admiral, captain? And how did you - seeing Shanks's very very smug smirk, he suddenly got the feeling that ignorance was really a bliss sometimes - No, wait, don't tell me, I really don't want to know. Nor I want to have that kind of mental image if it's true that you won the game. Yours is more than enough for a lifetime.

Shanks (still laughing): Ok, ok, I won't tell you. I'm a gentleman, after all, I don't "kiss and tell" as they say.

Beckman: Stop giving me this kind of mental images and start losing with dignity - then seeing the ridiculous state the redhead was in - Not that you have much of that left now with those garish undergarments you put on.

Shanks (pouting again and crossing his arms in petulant way): I already told you that these boxers are stylish, not garish. They were sold as a limited edition.

Beckman: If you say so, boss. The crew and I still think you were scammed.

Shanks: Anyway, if you know me so well, what are my "tells", then? Because my poker face can't be THAT bad! In fact, I'll have you know that I could stop a world war with just my poker face if I felt like it.

Beckman: Your poker face is exceptional, captain, but only when you face the highest authorities of both the pirates and the navy. And it'd help you if you stopped sticking your tongue at me every time you get some card you think it'd help you win.

Shanks: That's pure slander and I should have you demoted for even thinking about it! And some shitty cards they were for all the good they did to me. - looking at his cards with a resignated look - So, are you saying that I'd have won if I hadn't done that?

Beckman (revealing his winning hand): No, you'd have still lost, captain.

(Shanks pressed his head against the table while the whole crew burst out laughing; Hongo went to collect his prize with a definitely smug pat on Yasopp's shoulder, who grunted something along the lines of "This is the last time I bet anything on the captain")

Beckman (standing up from his chair and re-tying his once-black hair): It was a pleasure to play with you, captain. I expect my monthly supply of cigarettes on my desk tomorrow, don't forget that.

Shanks (growling something about stupid drunk games and mutinous first mates): Those things will kill you soon or late, Beck.

Beckman: So will your recklessness or your alcohol addiction, but you don't see me complaining. Moreover, a win is still a win. Ah, and put something warm on your way to the cabins, captain, it's too cold out here to be standing on the deck in just your boxers.

Shanks: Fuck you, Beck.
