In your family Au, what would Buggy's reaction to the moment Luffy got the devil fruit?
Like would he freak out because he knows he can't swim or would help Shanks reach Luffy?
In this AU, Buggy takes Shanks’ hand that day in Loguetown and joins the Red Hair Pirates. Because of his presence there, he is able to stop Uta from eating her devil fruit. However, the same is not true for Luffy.
When the Higuma Bandits throw their smoke bomb and escape with Luffy, the crew splits up to search the town for him. Shanks and Buggy pick different directions to cover more ground. By the time the reunite, the events as we know them have already unfolded and Shanks comes ashore having lost his arm.
Buggy is devastated, blaming himself for not being there, and angry with Shanks for being reckless enough to put himself in danger. They reconcile of course, but it’s a long, tearful night of Buggy stressing about how he nearly lost him.
