“Don’t tell the daozhang anything unnecessary”
says Song Lan, and he follows after Xue Yang. 
What if he had actually killed him? Say he’s successful, fights off Xue Yang’s attack with no ill effects or poisoning, and later gets rid of the corpse and goes back to Xiao Xingchen, who is none the wiser. 
Imagine the tearful reunion! Two long-lost friends finally making amends, Xiao Xingchen warmly welcoming him to his home, eager to introduce him to his new-found family. He knows a-Qing already, that’s how he found him to begin with, but he will meet soon his new friend, a young little rogue always so full of life, that makes him laugh so easily and makes his days so happy. 
...A friend who is never coming home. 
What would Song Lan do? He knows the truth about the “fierce corpses”, and knows this kind of truth would utterly destroy Xiao Xingchen. Just as much as knowing who that “friend” of his really was... So does he stay silent? Does he just watch Xiao Xingchen wait past dinner-time, past bed-time, waiting to hear for him to come back? Does he offer reassurance, does he suggest that maybe he just left out of the blue? 
And what does aQing do?? She saw what happened, she saw Song Lan kill that asshole and dump the body and lie through his teeth (through words or silence) about the whole thing. She knew that guy was trouble and probably had it coming, but every passing day without news of him is making daozhang more and more miserable, which she really can’t abide. 
How long can either of them keep up with the charade, with the lies? Specially since coming out with the truth will feel more and more like a betrayal with each passing day. It seems Song Lan and aQing both underestimated what a deep effect this loss would have on him...
And Xiao Xingchen is miserable. Just as he is reunited with Song Lan, at long last, he all too suddenly loses one of the three persons he cared most in his life. The hope is still there, that he simply went away for a while and will come back as carefree and cocky as always, but the dread is ever present and growing, the dread of him just growing tired of that dull life and leaving. The dread of him having come across trouble from which Xingchen couldn’t have protected. 
Of him being dead.
Whether Song Lan or aQing eventually tell the truth or they stay silent, Xiao Xingchen will always keep this wound deep in his soul. 
And here’s me thinking that, even in the best-case-scenario for the “good guys”, Yi City was always going to end in tragedy.

I love how Buggy is supposed to be like the ultimate scary clown but the minute we all saw him we were like: I WANNA [REDACTED] THAT GUY SO BAD AND SIT ON HIS [REDACTED] WHILE HE [REDACTED] MY [REDACTED], etc.

One Piece Episode 102 / Episode 377
"I might not have the same bounty on my head as Luffy at the moment, but I swear to you that I'm destined to become the greatest swordsman the world has ever known. Surely that must be worth something."

"Without that bass, there ain't shit..." - Fred Durst
(...boy was Fred right😂)
(Please don't re-post/share this video edit anywhere else. Please just only reblog this video edit on Tumblr. I spent several days finding multiple POVs and cutting the clips and audio together to the precise moment plus adding effects and text for the sake of stringing this whole thing together. Thank you!)

ppl tend to understate Buggy's intelligence in fanworks sometimes I find. Like he was able for 25 years to both hide his devil fruit from the world, his connection to the Roger pirates, he can make bombs and he did hide his devil fruit while in impel down effectively so he wasn't put in seastone cuffs or tortured in a way that would affect him at all. Dude can be smart, he just has 0 foresight and is emotional and single-minded to the point of short-sightedness. Even his initial plan with the chop chop fruit and the map was very smart for a boy his age, he just freaked out when shanks showed up and deliberately sabotaged himself, like that's his thing. He also got really close to killing Luffy in Loguetown, if not for the convenient lightning strike, Luffy could have died there. Buggy contains multitudes, he can both be insanely stupid and very smart.
...we must be using very different search terms to find buggy fic, anon.
but you're right, buggy is smart and stupid simultaneously! high INT/low WIS, i think is how the modern nerd would put it: he can come up with a good plan, but he does not think it through long enough to consider any bad outcomes, so they always take him by surprise. like, the muggy bomb is much easier to hide on his person than the og buggy bomb - it fits in the tip of his shoe! how convenient! but that also makes it easier for someone to just swat it back at buggy, to literally blow up in his face.
and buggy would have killed luffy in roguetown, for sure. the marines had no interest in intervening, and luffy's crew weren't gonna get to him fast enough. if it weren't for luffy's uncanny luck (or his dad literally conjuring up a storm, depending on what you think really happened in roguetown), that would've been a win for buggy.
...that said, i don't think the chop-chop fruit plan was a good one. i know the art style suggests buggy's an older teen, but per later canon buggy is at most twelve years old in that moment. and he's gonna sell a devil fruit, and with those funds get himself a ship and a crew of treasure-greedy pirates to follow his treasure map? at twelve? that boy is not gonna be a preteen pirate captain, he's gonna get his throat slit.

Nothing in my life has ever tasted as good as how I imagine cartoon meat that looks like this tastes
#talking tag#orv groundrat meat and yanaspleta stem#literally the only type of meat they eat in one piece#it's funny how in orv when kdj makes bbq skewers they all look like this but when yjh makes skeweres they look like normal ass skewers with#vegetables and everything#it's yjh the only person who has any culinary sense? the real answer is no. kdj is actually capable in the kitchen. the funnier answer is#that yjh was so fed up with being the only person in the universe to have taste buds and maybe a normal sized mouth that he spent an entire#regression turn learning how to perfect his cooking [this part at least is canon] just so he could convince at least one of his companions#to raise their standards and stop eating barely-chopped‚ unseasoned‚ straight off the bone monster meat#i think yjh would refuse to eat an apple unless it was peeled and sliced into cubes with little toothpicks#he wouldnt touch a sandwich until you passed it through a panini press#maybe it has something to do with diligence and intentionally putting effort into something often overlooked#its a lot of effort to cook delicious meals when the world is quite literally falling apart and reshaping itself but in a situation where#he doesnt even have control over his own death‚ he can only treat what he does have control over with the utmost diligence#cooking and eating good‚ healthy‚ SAFE food is something that is entirely his‚ i think#he doesnt need it to survive like fighting. its not a relic of his past that has lost its application like gaming. its a routine‚ a ritual#repeated daily#something that you do every day and by continuing to do it you create things that are more and more enjoyable. something that makes people#smile and feel satiated. something that gets everyone to sit close and share the joy of a single moment. a single meal#is it possible to get tired of that after repeating it so many times? every day? every day every month every year every turn#why doesnt he eat food made by other people?#because its not delicious#and the dumplings?#those were made by someone he loved. someone he loved put their time into mizing the filling and shaping the dough#someone he loves wants him to be safe and fed. and offered him dumplings that they made#was it delicious?

Personally, for me... I like computer guts more than organic ones. But a mix of the two? Liquid cooling systems filled with blood, artificial or otherwise.. Cyborgs.. I don't know. I like those.
