#but Buggy is the exception ?

[aimbutmiss]

Weird talents Cross Guild have:

Buggy can tie a bow with his tongue. Not a simple knot, no. A perfect, pretty bow. It makes for a good party trick. (He refrains from reminding people that he can detach his tongue.)

Crocodile can read upside down and backwards, in normal speed, without trouble.

Mihawk can crochet. I know that's not a weird hobby but he can also kill someone with a crochet hook, which has to count for something.

#buggy's a man of many talents except most of them are pretty much useless #being able to use his tongue well has its advantages tho wink wink #yes mihawk has killed someone with a crochet hook before #for good reason #probably??? #crocodile is a businessman and a workaholic of course he can read documents under any condition #one piece #buggy the clown #cross guild #dracule mihawk #sir crocodile

has anyone ever done a wwdits-inspired mihawk perona zoro au. like obviously not everything would carry over but the vibes are definitely there.

mihawk as nandor is very real to me. weird old man with great military prowess who for some reason now lives with a bunch of other weirdos. shanks is the lady from the one episode that nandor keeps trying to turn into a vampire but she always turns him down for funsies. perona is obviously nadja. just a group of weird goths living alone in an elaborate castle getting up to hijinks. zoro's there too but he's just a guy who wanted to learn swordsmanship and accidentally gets roped into the role of beleaguered familiar after tripping over the third body this week

#one piece #roronoa zoro #dracule mihawk #mishanks #buggy could be like a more inept version of the guide #perona #could also work as a zosan au where mihawk and perona try to do zoro a favour and set him up with sanji #except they have zero concept of how humans work so it fails miserably #sometimes family is a weird old vampire his gothy daughter and his human son

whenever i read a fic and shanks doesn't mention buggy even once it always feels soo ooc bc like what do you mean shanks isn't vibrating with the need to see buggy at all times??? at the very least, shanks should be thinking about buggy passively, if not actively. like buggy lives that man's mind rent fucking free. buggy should be charging appearance fees for how often shanks thinks of him. like all it would take is one (1) denden call, where buggy shaky voiced goes "shanks... please... i need you" and shanks would be hauling ass across the grand line to get to buggy

#like this is shanks' Person #even if they haven't properly talked in years #buggy will always be shanks' Person #their fates are so far beyond intertwined. it's entangled now. knotted. they're locked in #bc like this is buggy. shanks' buggy. this is the boy he thought he was gonna go through puberty with. they were supposed to get pimples #together. they were supposed to be co-captains. they were supposed be together no matter what. #there was never a future in shanks' mind where he and buggy where separated except now they are #buggy leaves him in the rain at loguetown and he loses himself in the bottom of a bottle and then he blinks and it's been almost a decade #and a half since he and buggy have been in the same room #where'd all the time go? this wasn't how he saw his future going. #it echoes like a refrain in his head whenever something important happens and he turns his head to look for a blue haired man #only to realize that buggys not there and hasn't been there in years #and everytime his heart sinks and the mean voice in his head that hasnt shut up since loguetown goes: we were supposed to do this together #whatever. he needs another drink. #buggy the clown #buggy one piece #op buggy #akagami no shanks #shanks one piece #op shanks #shanks x buggy #shuggy #one piece

in the collective reality where oda actively bothers to do something with alvida and/or galdino in this new post cross guild going for the one piece reality, how plausible do u consider either of them actively caring for buggy or going behind his back to help him in some way? i find the fact oda kept alvida with the narrative extremely fascinating and it frustrates me how she is so underutilised (then again with such a huge cast it is hard to get every character to do a lot, but alvida could have been discarded quite easily post loguetown. yet here she is, a 1000 chapters later, sitting on the cross guild couch drinking wine)

i do wonder sometimes what oda is thinking when he keeps characters like cabaji, mohji, and alvida around a thousand chapters since they last really did anything. does he like drawing them? does he want to throw a bone to the handful of east blue stans out there who miss when op pirate crews had a simple gimmick they stuck to? is he trying to show that buggy lifts his crew up with him, or refuses to leave anyone behind? i just don't know.

modern day alvida has a lot in common with galdino. she's calculating, analytical, and sides with the person who will give her the greatest advantage. that's been buggy for a long time because he's had the appearance of power for a long time. even now, the appearance of power is still there. does she actually care for buggy? does galdino? i'm not sure.

but for the purposes of answering this question, let's assume that she does, that they both do. i think their pragmatism still outweighs any fond feeling, unless:

it's to their significant advantage to help buggy, and/or

they won't get caught

safety above all else, you know? and getting on either mihawk or crocodile's bad side is not particularly safe behavior.

#asked and answered #deadbodyrave #one piece #buggy #alvida #mr. 3 #do not get me STARTED on alvida's mistreatment and neglect in the story!! #the apparent massive personality change she went through the second she lost weight/got pretty... ohhhh Oda You Are My Enemy #and suddenly she's the straight man in any goofy buggy pirate scene! where's my raging narcissist who hit a rubber boy with an iron mace?! #it's what fandom always does to the One Girl On The Team (she's either team mom or has the only brain cell) except it happened In Canon #sighs. and it happened so long ago there's really no point in protesting it now. clever pragmatic alvida is just who she is. #...i *am* curious how invulnerable the slip-slip fruit is to. like. swords. i think she's safe from crocodile but idk about mihawk. #*pragmatic characters

I've said this a lot (a lot of people have actually) but I will say it again because we got two seconds of cross guild in the new opening and I can't stop thinking about them:

Cross guild is the funniest and most random dynamic to exist ever. How did Oda even come up with the idea like what was the thought process

"I bet you can't come up with the most ridiculous trio and make it work so hard that they become the most iconic trio to ever exist"

"alright bet"

#not enemies not lovers but a secret third option #business partners #except one of them is basically being held hostage #jokes on the other two because they're gonna end up in love with him #pathetic man sneaks his way into the hearts of every men he meets like it's an olympic sport #save me buggy the clown #one piece #buggy the clown #cross guild #dracule mihawk #sir crocodile #egghead

insane sidenote tangent, but i need us to explore buggy's daddy issues via judgemental check ins with the alive second dad of the roger pirates. rayleigh and buggy monthly denden calls where buggy's life choices get endlessly judged and dissected "from a good place" only for buggy to hit back with rayleigh's fuck ups. its tense and it's toxic but also they love each other so much, that's his dad and sometimes the convos are good too. croc and mihawk know they are about to be sucked dry after every bad call tho, cause buggy has something to prove ("it's not a phase rayleigh this is who i really am, i don't need shanks next to me to be a great pirate")

oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my GOsH yes oh my GOd khfdklsfgksfdghjsdgkdsfg SOMEBOdY WRITE THIS FIC IMMEDIATELY PLEASE I NEED IT HOOKED UP TO MY IV LINE

#buggy goes STRAIGHT from yelling down the phone at Rayleigh to fastening his bangs back with bobby pins #so he can go down on Mihawk and Croc and choke on them angrily #choke so hard he can't call them daddy (except in breathless little sloppy sobs) #Mihawk and Croc are. fine with this. yes. mmm #the clown has his uses <3

‘Buggy the clown’…inspired Dr. Darling doodle. Y’all can blame the Oceanview discord for this. And One Piece. 😖

I know guys usually say this about girls but - the damn clown is so cute when he's upset.

I wanna smush his schmink and poke and pester that overblown ego of his into a balloon animal.

#I SAID WHAT I SAID #buggy #buggy the clown #as a girl who regularly gets told she's cute when she's angry #FINE I GET IT #I GET NOW #come help me swap the colour sticks in his schmink and put glitter in his hair spray #what is your party trick in this show they'll ask #I am the knife girl sword swallower #except I feel like I am going to wind up on one of those turning wheels getting daggers thrown at me a lot #but thats ok #everyone's love language is unique or smthin #buggy thoughts

witnesses grian joining the watchers, being mechanized by them and turned into a watcher, and then killing all of them bc they really fucking sucked, meaning that he's technically the last remaining watcher

#hhmmmmmm #to be entirely clear i'm not yet sure what exactly the watchers are in this au yet #methinks maybe just some random civilization? not special in any way except that their technology is quite advanced? #hhmmm #witnesses au #grian #buggy thoughts #silver screen

Roger and Rayleigh were walking down the street, sharing idle chatter as they made their way back to the Oro Jackson with a freshly reset log pose in hand. Then there was a high-pitched yell.

"DAD!!!" A kid yelled, and Roger looked around for a second before something hit him in the stomach and stayed there. He looked down and saw a head of curly blue hair. He looked up and saw six armored guards running toward them.

Then the kid looked up with the most mischievous little smile and a very swollen button nose and then dashed around and past him. One of the guards said something about getting the kid, another just said they had his father. Roger could already feel the smile growing.

He looked up and the guards all stopped, weapons poised and at the ready. Rayleigh took a step back, fully aware his captain had been getting antsy waiting for the log pose the past month.

One of the guards began droning. "You're under arrest for your son's theft, assault and battery, breaking and entering, sixteen counts of assault on a marine guard, twenty-one counts of assault on a noble guard, and--" Roger decked him, his armor making him sound like a pile of knocked-over pots when he fell. Two guards swung at him, he dodged both, and they swung into each other instead. Then he took the helmet off one of the downed soldiers (it was a very cool looking helmet), put it on his head with his straw hat on his back and then took on the last three at once. The fight was over in less than a minute.

He smiled at Rayleigh, Rayleigh just took the helmet off his head and told him it made him look like a thumb with a feather on it. Roger pouted.

Then he saw the blue hair again, trying to run by the other direction, and snagged him by the back of the shirt. "LEMME GO!" The kid screamed, already swinging but barely grazing Roger's shirt. He was small, a little thin all-around, and his shirt was worn but covered in bright colours in all states of sun-bleached. His was hissing and spitting like a feral cat, digging his nails into Roger's wrist.

"You called me 'Dad'." Roger mentioned, and the kid had the nerve to stop moving entirely and glare up at him as if he were the one being scruffed.

The kid crossed his arms. "Yeah. They fell for it, too - dumbasses. Whaddya want? I won't give you a cent." He said harshly, making his voice deeper and more growly very clearly on purpose. When he remained off the ground with Roger just staring at him curiously, he tried threatening. "You try hittin' me and I'll scream 'Pedo' till' my lungs run out, asshole."

Roger burst out laughing. "HA! I suppose I wouldn't mind another son. I'm sure you'll get along with Shanks great." He said before putting the kid under his arm and marching back to the ship.

The kid was yelling about how calling him 'Dad' wasn't a request, Rayleigh just sighed and followed. "You seem sure of yourself."

Roger smiled. "Of course! He's a child of the sea, I can tell." The kid froze, Roger didn't acknowledge it. For the whole walk back, the kid was strangely quiet.

Then Rayleigh and Roger were safely on deck, a few people there to greet them, including Shanks. Roger set the completely silent child on the deck, and then the kid shot away from him like a bullet. Right towards Shanks, grabbing the dagger on Shanks' hip and pulling him in front of him with the knife under his chin. Rayleigh tensed, but Roger trusted him to not attack.

"Why am I here?! Where are you trying to take me?! How did you know I'm a selkie?!" The child asked, hand visibly shaking as he held the dagger, but more than enough conviction in his eyes. Shanks was pale, looking between Roger and Rayleigh for help.

Roger took a knee where he was, a comfortable 3 meters of space between him and the child. "A selkie, eh? I must admit, I've only known a few." He hummed. "And as for why - well, you seem quite the interesting stranger, but I'll guess you're an even more interesting friend."

"How about this," Rayleigh interrupted coolly. "We'll let you see new islands with protection from marines and traffickers, in exchange you be a cabin boy."

Roger smiled at his clever first mate. "And then be my son--"

"Just. Cabin boy, for now." Rayleigh reiterated. "I saw the way some of those civilians looked at you. You're a known criminal there, aren't you? Wouldn't be long before someone found out you were a selkie."

The kid looked at the town, then at Rayleigh, then at Roger. He lowered the knife and Shanks gasped. "Fine. But I'm keeping this - if any of you try anything I'll kill you while you sleep." He threatened, putting the knife in his belt loop and shoving Shanks.

Shanks ran at Roger, already sobbing, and Roger picked him up the same as he did when Shanks was two.

The kid stared ruefully at Shanks for a moment. "I'm Buggy. If that's the other cabin boy you can leave him."

Shanks choked a little 'Nooooo' into Roger's coat. Roger just laughed. "I think I'll be keeping this one too, nice try, little Bugger."

Buggy nodded before walking quickly away - likely to explore the ship and leave it a few berrie lighter.

Roger chuckled, patting Shanks back while Rayleigh gave him the most exhausted look.

#one piece #selkie usopp au #I know Roger probably got Buggy as a baby like Shanks but idc. Buggy Backstory Upon Ye #They're both like 8 here. Yes Shanks is a crybaby because for a long time he was the only Baby and wasn't expected to be anything but a Baby #Buggy was working like he had rent to pay Shanks was mopping with him because he wanted to know the new kid better #Shanks is significantly better at combat than Buggy at every age past 3 but Buggy is better at Everything Else #Except accepting love but Buggy's working on that
