I think femBuggy becomes a ghost legend but for a silly reason.
After finally getting her own private room and dressing and getting make up as she likes, she buys a ton of white, flowy, button up nightgows, sheet masks and bonets. She finally has peace at night and would not be bothered by Shanks so she has a full routine. By chance no one sees her like that.
She wakes up at midnight to get a glass of water and Roger does the same. They meet on the bow and Roger almost has a heartattack seeing that white figure.
By chance a Marine boat is close by and they manage to see Roger so they light their flash lights only to see a deadly pale Roger. They know that he is not terrified of them, so they point to the other side and see a lady in white walking the bow levitating. They also almost sh7t themselves.
Meanwhile FemBuggy is so sleepy she does not even fully opens her eyes, so she does not realize what is going on and she continuous levitating because she was too lazy to look for her shoes.
From that day on, a legend of a white lady haunting the Oro Jackson starts.
Fem!Buggy accidentally becoming the Oro Jackson’s resident ghost legend because she just wants peaceful skincare nights?
The legend of the White Lady of the Oro Jackson started as pure, unfiltered sleep-deprived chaos.
After finally carving out her own tiny private cabin (a major upgrade from bunking with a noisy red-haired boy), Fem!Buggy went all in on self-care.
Full routine: removing the dramatic makeup, slathering on whatever face masks she could steal from islands, silky white flowy nightgowns that billowed easily with any small gust of wind, bonnets of different colors, and those creepy sheet masks with the eye holes. At night she was finally unbothered. No Shanks trying to sneak in for cuddles. No crewmates banging on her door. Just blissful silence.
Until that fateful midnight.
She wakes up parched, eyes half-closed, brain 90% offline. Instead of hunting for her slippers because it’s too much effort, she just floats, her barefeet still anchoring her to her room so she won’t make too much effort in navigating her way back as she goes and floats her way across the deck toward the water barrel.
White gown fluttering in the sea breeze, sheet mask glowing eerily under the moonlight, and a frown at being forced to wake up temporarily. She looks like a vengeful spirit who died mid-facial.
Roger, who was also up for a late-night snack, rounds the corner and nearly drops his sake. At the sight of a pale floating woman with a blank white face gliding toward him. The Pirate King himself lets out a a silence scream and stumbles back, trying not to make the ghost notice him.
At the exact same moment, a Marine scouting boat is passing nearby. They wanted to ambush the Roger pirates, has everything planned perfectly, but then They spot Roger, pale as a sheet, looking terrified. They think it’s because of them and the general would say something: “terrified to finally being bested Roger!”
Roger only Shake his head and points at something in front of him. Flashlights swing over… and there she is: a ghostly white figure levitating along the bow. The Marines lose their minds. “It’s a curse! The Oro Jackson is haunted by a white lady!” One guy actually faints.
Fem!Buggy? Oblivious. She just grabs her water, turns around still half-asleep, and floats back to her chamber but not without letting out one of her long dramatic groans at the noisy people around her, thinking it was just another crew member. She never even noticed the commotion.
Within weeks, the legend spreads, every Marine who’s ever crossed paths with Roger’s crew swears the Oro Jackson is haunted by a beautiful but terrifying white specter who appears under moonlight. Some versions say she curses anyone who disturbs her. Others claim she’s the ghost of a jilted lover. Shanks gets very defensive about that one.
- Roger: after calming down, he Thinks it’s the funniest thing ever. starts encouraging the rumors, dramatically retelling the story at bars just to mess with people. “Aye, she’s still on board… sometimes you can hear her moaning about ‘not being flashy enough’ at night.”
- Rayleigh: Deadpan. He knows exactly who it is and refuses to comment, just sighs every time someone brings it up.
- Shanks: Torn between laughing his ass off and being extremely worried about his crush. The first time he hears the full story he sprints to Fem!Buggy’s room, bangs on the door yelling, “Buggy! Are you okay?! Did a ghost try to eat your soul?!” Only to find her in full ghost regalia doing her skincare. He freezes, blushes like an idiot, and mumbles, “…You look kinda cute like that.” She throws a shoe at him.
- Gaban: The man is living for this. Carefree king that he is, he doesn’t try to debunk anything. He amplifies the comedy. After the initial midnight encounter, he’s the first one cracking up, slapping Roger on the back and yelling, “Captain! You got scared by Buggy in her pajamas? Legendary!”
From then on, Gaban turns the whole thing into his personal running joke. He starts “ghost hunting” patrols at night… but really he’s just wandering around with a bottle of sake, dramatically pointing his lantern at nothing and shouting, “Show yourself, White Lady! I’ve got compliments and snacks!” Whenever he actually spots Fem!Buggy shuffling by half-asleep in her flowy white nightgown, sheet mask, and bonnet, he doesn’t wake her or scold her, he just leans against the railing, grinning like an idiot, and whispers to whoever’s nearby, “There she goes again. Our very own ship spirit. Ten out of ten haunting, very elegant.”
He even starts leaving little “offerings” (stolen fruit or snacks) near her cabin door “to appease the ghost.” When Marines bring up the legend in battle, Gaban laughs so hard he nearly falls off the ship: “Oh yeah, she’s real! Scarier than any Admiral, she’ll get ya with her beauty routine!”
Fem!Buggy herself is mortified when she finally finds out. She spends a week refusing to do her night routine in anything but full pirate attire, but then gives up because “beauty sleep is more important than dumb ghost rumors.” Shanks, the simp king, starts “guarding” her door at night (mostly just loitering nearby hoping she’ll let him in).
Now the White Lady is an official part of Roger Pirates lore. Marines still tell scary stories about her. And every full moon, the crew makes bets on whether the “ghost” will appear… or if Shanks will finally get chased out of her cabin again.
