Oasis

The **Oasis** appears to be an island that's a week or two from Clown Island and just has a Juice Bar on it that serves pineapple juice and a single palm tree. However, if you have enough money, are the right person, or know the right people, you can take one of 8 tube-elevators and use it to travel to a city called the Oasis, where the Marines have no influence or knowledge. It is described by Helper as a "lawless wasteland", "a dream", and a "Heaven for pirates and criminals alike." The Oasis itself is a beautiful underwater city partly made of worn wood and golds, with fish swimming through pipes, always cast in night but illuminated by neon lights, with dozens of drugstores, bars, brothels, and casinos. But after the Crew left, the Oasis looks for wear, as more buildings have smashed windows and damage. The head "owner" of the Oasis is called Big Top. One of the two rules of the Oasis is that Casino Dons can't be killed. The second is that you can't steal from Big Top. This rule has likely been transferred so that you can't steal from the Devil's Luck Pirates.

Each of the Casinos require you to do something to join them, to be apart of the Queen's Gambit, you must be referred to by a game piece as your name, to be apart of the Elephants Casino you must be Vegan, to be apart of the Golden Nugget Casino you must be a miner.

## History

Nothing is known about the history of the island or the Oasis before the current storyline. All we know is that the oasis had a power rotation or two before Big Top was the ruler, Past rulers include Big Top (Before The Crew), The Dice king (before big top), and The Card Man (before The Dice King)

### Post Devil's Luck Pirates

After the Crew left the Oasis, a power vacuum emerged with the Dons all fighting each other while Big Top waits in the wings to take complete control of the city. Overall quality of life in the Oasis has plummeted as a turf war has overcome the city.

After the raid on Big Top's Castle and the death of Big Top, The Crew claimed the oasis as their own. They have culled the fighting of the dons, and have effectively made peace in the oasis. They later installed Hemlock as the effect mayor of the oasis, and Diplomat of The Crew, with Helper as her assistant. The 8 Flames later relocated to The Devils Luck Casino (formerly Big Top's Casino).

## Trivia

* The Roulette Wheel shares many similarities to Big Mom's Roulette
* The first rule of the Oasis is that no information is free and everything costs information
* The Oasis had many rulers before The Devil's Luck Pirates, each had their current rulers killed by the one that succeeds them
* Hemlock is now the technical mayor of the Oasis, but is under the direct jurisdiction of The Devil's Luck Pirates, making The Oasis the 3rd Island under The Devil's Luck Pirates Domain (The others are Tarako Kingdom and L'Arbor)
* Presumably, given that institutions in the Oasis are mainly casinos, there would still be a fairly strict but not necessarily completely vertical hierarchy. From a casino don's perspective, it would go-
	+ Mayor (sets the rules that casinos must follow) Formerly Big Top, currently Hemlock backed by the Devil's Luck Pirates
	+ Don (owns and operates a casino) - Roulette, The Elephant, and The Prospector
	+ Casino managers (oversees the entire operation of a given aspect of the casino)
	+ Shift bosses (ensure that the entire casino is running well during a given shift)
	+ Pit bosses (ensures all games on a pit (floor) of a casino are running smoothly)
	+ Floor men (ensures that each table for a given game on a given floor is running smoothly)
	+ Box men (referee for a given game table)
	+ Dealers
	+ General Security (outside the hierarchy)
	+ Players
