[Shanks-Buggy backstory spoilers (I guess?)]

something I really really love about One Piece is the subtle (?) misdirection surrounding the parallels of Roger-Rayleigh & Shanks-Buggy.

Shanks is perceived by pretty much everyone as Roger's successor (sans Ace), he's got intense Haki and a fierce rep, he's a respected captain with the mettle to prove it, and he's got that same natural* laid-back chill.

Buggy, on the other hand, is in some ways (emphasis on IN SOME WAYS) Shanks' Ray. The right-hand man, never apart when they were children, but always a little behind instead. While Buggy and Shanks share/d a ton of pirate traits, there is a clear difference between their levels of daring, just like their pirate parents; Buggy, while a hot head, is the cautious sort. More of a strategist. Kind of (emphasis on KIND OF) like Rayleigh.

...But once you look into things a little closer, you'll see that in reality, it's switched.

Shanks doesn't want to be pirate king. He doesn't want wealth fame and power, he wants to be with Buggy, and more specifically, for Buggy to be happy. Shanks is fine taking a back seat. He seeks out back seats as much as possible, which isn't often because he has a reputation to keep up. That brings us to *laid-back chill. It's nature, yes, but it's hidden. Shanks doesn't wanna fight, he doesn't care, he wants to be free, but he can't because of his place in the world. He barely gets the chance. Shanks is not the sun, like, at all. He's the perfect example of the moon.

But BUGGY is a wonderful sun. Bright and flashy. Buggy takes up space and he wants. Buggy does want glory. He wants wealth fame power, and he wants to be big and strong and powerful, Buggy wants so bad to be Roger. And he has the courage, too. He has ambition, desires, a want for something bigger and better, greater than just the mundane, and Shanks just doesn't.

Roger wanted to turn the world upside down. Rayleigh was just along for the ride. Rayleigh would've followed Roger anywhere, and Roger wanted to go everywhere.

Did ANY of this make sense

*Everyone is playing a board game together* Roger: I will put 'A' down to make 'A'. Shanks: I will add onto your 'A' to make 'AT'. Buggy: I will add onto your 'AT' to make 'RAT'. Rayleigh: I will add onto your 'RAT' to make 'BIOSTRATAGRAPHIC'. Buggy: *flips the board*

(Some crack in the form of incorrect quotes. Buggy being dramatic as normal)

has anyone done this yet

[plutoniumpuddle]

Saw you do art requeast so thought maybe i'd shoot my shot! Don't know how far you're into the series so I'll just say

[SPOILERS MARINFORD] just in case-

I wanted to ask if you could draw Ace in like the afterlife when he meets Roger and Rouge there I think that would be awesome in your art style! Like angst or wholesome, whatever is fine! Thank you!

Ok so this did take forever (I got this ask in July) but I did it eventually! My new years resolution is to get through my requests so more soon hopefully!

I haven’t gotten to marineford yet (another part of my resolution is to read more one piece- I don’t think I’ll finish it) nor do I know much about Rouge or Roger but boy do I have feelings about Roger and Ace.

Thinking about Roger and Rouge and how despite being completely unfazed by his title, that woman was likely not unfazed by his very prominent badonkers. Like, he knew damn well what he was doing wearing such an open cleavage.

I could not blame Rouge or Rayleigh for staring if I'm being honest.

crazy to think about how my first ever attempt at writing Fanfiction was when I was a kid and had an assignment in my English course about writing a short story and I basically wrote the first chapter of an one piece au in which Rouge survives giving birth to Ace but she doesn’t trust Garp so she manages to somehow run away with her baby to Sabaody and to live with Rayleigh and Shakky in the Rip-off Bar. It was written like Rouge was telling what happened to Roger’s spirit, all while missing him and grieving him, but having hope for their son’s future. Fortunately my English teacher did not judge me to hard for what I wrote and I got a good grade, unfortunately that badly written first fic is lost forever, but it was a sweet idea …

Warning! Spoilers for Live Action Fans Below

While for the most part I do like what the live action did with the execution platform scene; I absolutely hated Buggy calling Roger, “Gold Roger.”

I hate it so much.

Because why would he call him that? Buggy would absolutely know the real name of his former captain.

There’s no reason for him to call him Gold Roger; especially since that’s just what the government changed his name to, to obscure the D.

To be clear, Buggy doesn't need to say Roger’s real name to make this scene work; not at all. They could have easily kept the D reveal a secret with Buggy just saying Roger or even better, Captain Roger.

In fact, I really love the idea that when talking dismissively to Luffy about how he doesn’t know anything about being a King, Buggy automatically says Captain Roger, because of course he would.

Buggy loved Roger as much as Shanks did.

It also makes sense that the Roger-like je ne sais quoi Luffy has; the reason why Shanks invested in the future and most likely why he took a liking to Luffy in the first place is the exact same thing that Buggy hates so much about Luffy and is desperate to squash (at least in the live action).

Not because he hates Roger, but because...

While Shanks is happy this young man has a full life ahead of him, Buggy is bitter about it and it’s for the exact same reason – their captain is dead.

I just think Buggy saying Captain Roger would’ve worked a hundred times better and I’m getting more and more annoyed that he didn’t.

Because for those who don’t know (just starting or live action only) – well would it really stand out as odd or noticeable that Buggy is calling the famous pirate king Captain Roger and yet for those who are in the know, it absolutely makes sense for Buggy to call him that.

Also, with the wonderful awfulness that is Buggy, him getting that extra layer of still referring to his old captain respectfully, would’ve been some great nuance character writing.

Now, I don’t remember if in the manga or anime Buggy calls Roger "Gold Roger" at the start, but I feel like if he did, there’s the simple explanation of - Oda didn’t have the full complete story or all the details at that point.

Which is more than understandable, but with an adaptation like this...

Look, I’m sure for others this was in no way a big deal, but I can’t help but fixate on it.

Because again why the fuck would Buggy call his former captain, the man he admired and loved so much, the fake name the government gave to obscure how bright and amazing Captain Gol D. Roger truly was.

Also, you can’t convince me that Buggy wouldn’t absolutely delight in and lord over others how he knows the real name of the King of the Pirates, because he actually knew the man.

I’m just saying.
