By contrast, Luffy came all too willingly to the party once he'd caught wind of the food on offer, and convincing him to wander the game rooms between bouts of pillaging the buffet table had barely taken more than a gentle ghostly nudge. For what it's worth, he seems totally unbothered by the prospect of the personal questions after Alice accidentally lures him over: he definitely thinks of himself as an open book, even though in actual practice he almost never tells anyone anything about himself. That's more by accident than anything else, though.
It's pure luck that the house stays standing when Luffy brazenly plucks a card off the structure like it's not one wrong twitch away from costing him a large sum of chips. Alice shouldn't worry too much about her chances, clearly.
He grins at her when it's clear the house isn't falling down quite yet, but he's still very enamored with her question. "What kind of music would we play, though? What kind of music do you like? I only know sea shanties." Know is a strong word, of course. He can hum along off-key, but there's only really one he can sing all the way through. He would never let a silly little thing like being totally unqualified stop him, though!
Either way, he flips his own successfully retrieved card (5 of hearts) and reads: "Would you ever kill someone for money?" He blinks, and then shrugs a shoulder, like the idea particularly outlandish to him. Considering his First Mate was a prolific bounty hunter before Luffy bamboozled him into joining the world's friendliest pirate crew, it's not. "Nah, I don't really care about money. There'd have to be a better reason!" Maybe Luffy should be less honest, actually...
iii!
