I thought buggy saw more shanks in Luffy

(context)

oh, for sure, the hat luffy treasures so much makes buggy think of shanks. because, you know. it is shanks’ hat. (though it was roger’s before him, buggy definitely saw it more on shanks’ head than roger’s.)

but the declaration? luffy boldly shouting, “i’m the man who will be king of the pirates!”—well, that’s not a shanks line. as shanks said himself:

#asked and answered #one piece #monkey d luffy #buggy #shanks #imo the ‘if you’re king i’m god’ line from orange town definitely comes from a place of ‘how DARE you consider yourself on roger’s level’ #*shanks & luffy parallels #*roger & luffy parallels #*that straw hat #looking back that shanks dialogue is probably referring to luffy’s Secret Dream rather than anything pirate king adjacent but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
