collecting kids shanks & buggy moments in the manga because they are, to me, the most adorable duo in the OP universe
I'm sorry, is that... is that the look of love...?
look at him, wearing two of his dad’s hats, enjoying his little treat while lounging atop an unconscious marine soldier, he truly was the spoilt brat of the roger pirates.
Decided to rewatch Orange Town episodes, and, wow, Buggy's speech at ep 7-8 about Shanks is truly angsty.
"He is the one person that I loathe. I'll curse his name for the rest of my life. As long as there's breath in my body, Shanks, I will never forgive you." "In all my life, I've never been as mad at someone as him! That bastard Shanks stole countless riches from me. I don't know how you two are connected, but I can say whatever I want about him. I've earned that!"
Hell hath no fury like a childhood best friend (perceived to be) scorned, I guess.
As a reminder, his face during his speech of hatred is:
While the flashback include a moment as tender as this:
Anyway, he is freaky. Between him now being more of an ex-prisoner, an influencer, and a beat-up rug (figurehead), gotta remember he used to be (probably still) a true menacing force.
the cutest patooies ever
Shanks, happy grin: Bugs~ it’s pride month you know what that means!~
Buggy, confused: What does it mean?
Shanks: *Walks away still grinning*
Buggy, panicking: What?! What does it mean!? What do you want? You want Gayer Fights? WHAT IS IT?!
Stuck on this idea that Buggy and Shanks had two very separate experiences growing up on the Oro Jackson, but not for the reasons they think.
Buggy grew up feeling teased as Roger's little jester boy, a hand-me-down for Shanks, who he thought would be the next Pirate King. Shanks was the favorite, Shanks got the attention; at least when Shanks was King, Buggy would have Shanks's attention at last, except Loguetown happened and suddenly Buggy wasn't even good enough to be Shanks's jester. He just wasn't good enough.
Meanwhile, Shanks grew up thinking the literal sun shone out of Buggy's ass. It didn't help that the rest of the crew kept giving Buggy praises that Buggy never heard because let's face it, he'd get a big head about it that Shanks felt compared to. Buggy had no qualms about stabbing someone. Buggy could climb the ratlines and rig up the sails as fast as a seasoned pirate. Buggy could pick out counterfeit gold and accurately guess a jewel's carat or cabochon at a glance. Buggy was immune to Conqueror's Haki and doesn't know. Buggy had the Devil's Luck, something most pirates would kill for.
Shanks felt he never had to worry about Buggy. Buggy's bounty staying 15,000,000 while he stays in the East Blue? Buggy must be lying in wait, biding his time. Buggy got sent to Impel Down? Poor Impel Down, Shanks pitied them. Buggy was there at Marineford? Shanks didn't expect him to show up so soon, wow! Buggy's a Warlord? Called it. Buggy's now a fellow Emperor? As expected of the Genius Jester! Buggy's working with Crocodile and Mihawk and not him? Goddamn it, he's gonna have to try harder to get on Buggy's level and get Buggy's attention.
The Roger Pirates that are still alive continue to chew at the bit over that damn near-40-years-bet over whether or not Shanks is going to finally confess. Crocus already lost since he bet it would happen before the boys turned 30.
official halloween shuggy art, this is so precious to me
I can't wait for Buggy to make it to the Laugh Tale so him and Shanks can have the most insane, sweet reunion make-up sex to make up for the last 2 decades.
About Buggy's detachable magic dick from this post.
Imagine if you will...
Shanks and Buggy meet up for their monthly rendezvous on a random island. And after a wild night making up for lost time, Buggy wakes up to Shanks gone...and his penis!!!
He knows it's Shanks up to no good. So, he asks Alvida where the asshole is, and she tells him the Red Force cast off at first light — they've left.
Buggy is fuming and ranting at Alvida about that stupid red-headed idiot when he suddenly stops with a squeak. He feels his dick somewhere soft and warm, and his face heats up in arousal. It feels amazing, and he almost gives into it until Alvida clears her throat, and he remembers where he is.
Queue the worst morning of Buggy's life. He is NOT quiet in the bedroom at all, so keeping his little...situation underwraps while he manages his crew, Alvida, Crocodile, and Mihawk, who won't leave him alone, is proving nigh impossible.
The man ends up in all kinds of awkward situations publicly, and he's stressed and high-strung. He slips up often enough for Mihawk and Alvida to figure out what's happening, much to their disgust. His crew is just concerned their fearless leader is coming down with something and keep fussing over him.
Meanwhile, badass hero Shanks watches on, hiding in the shadows and enthusiastically licking, sucking and choking on Buggy's disembodied dick like some kind of sexually deprived Batman whenever Buggy starts a conversation with someone.
Eventually, when it seems Crocodile is about 3 seconds away from ending Buggy for his weird behavior, Shanks returns Buggy's dick with a shameless "April fools!!" and gets a rightfully hysterical sceaming clown in his face threatening to leave him for another 22 years.
I’m thinking back to that time in marineford when Buggy is surprised that the world government knows about his connection with Shanks lol. Because like, Buggy definitely wasn’t going around telling people he was an ally or even remotely friendly with Shanks. Buggy was actively saying the complete opposite, and rarely talked about his upbringing.
So how the fuck did they get that info? Like yes, they are the world government, Gol was their main enemy, so of course they had notes on who used to be on his crew. But I think it’s funny they specifically say “blood brother”/“ally”. And I doubt they just assigned that label because they grew up on the same crew. Especially with how loudly anti Shanks Buggy is lol.
I like to think Shanks was going around talking about his love for Buggy so much that even the world government found out. Bro was drunkenly pining so loud the Marines heard LOL! And that Shanks’s pining is more convincing to the government, than Buggy’s vocal disdain. The government said…Shuggy real.
what if I said that Buggy is Shanks' freedom?
What if they never had that fight and Buggy joined Shanks? (Even tho I’m on Buggy’s side lol).
That’s what Shanks wanted, a journey with his dear Buggy.
(ART NOT MINE)
I love how Shanks looks at Buggy; he's looking at him with so much heart eyes.
Shuggy is just such a funny concept though, because like:
computer, put two of the most powerful and influential people in a situationship. And make one of them a pathetic whiny wimp, and a fraud... also make the other guy both the biggest yearner and a little too nonchalant at the same time. Yeah... Now add a one-sided beef to that, cause why tf not?
