[a year later]
The day has come…, the day gol D Roger is to be executed, has finally arrived.
'(Has it really been a whole year since the disbandment??, guess time sure does fly during my training. Haven't managed to unlock my observation haki completely, although I did manage to gain some knowledge of its abilities. I can already tell who's who from the franchise)'. Thought Buggy.
There was Hawkeye, gecko Moria, Crocodile, Doflamingo, monkey D Dragon…, and last but never least, Shanks.
'(I wonder how he's handling it, this is the big day, can't show any tears of sadness)'. Thought Buggy.
Just like that, "he" shows up in chains.
Roger shows no fear in his face, only a prideful smile.
Stepping onto the excursion platform he shows no fear still.
As he begins to turn and knees down to begin his death scene…
A single person yelling out of the crowd, asking where the one piece is…
'You want my treasure?, well you can have it. I left everything this world has to offer, in one place'. Said Roger with a smile.
Just like that, without any Hesitation, they stabbed him in a single go.
As he dies he never stops smiling.
Just like that, everyone was roaring with joy, knowing full well, the one piece…
Is real, and is for the taking.
Just like that, it starts to rain.
Buggy begins heading back to his cave in the mountains.
He knew Shanks was behind him but showed no reaction.
[at the cave]
'So…, what now?'. Asked Buggy without looking back to face Shanks.
'I'm not going to find it'. Says Shanks.
'…, shame, I would have voted for ya partner'. Said Buggy.
'You can still join my crew if ya want Buggy'. Says Shanks.
'Na, I'll be doing my own thing, thanks anyway'. Said Buggy getting ready to light up a fire.
'You really think ya got what it takes to be your own pirate??'. Asked Shanks.
'I have to do this Shanks, I can't be the weakling I was on the Oro Jackson. Not anymore'. Says Buggy.
'You may have been weak, but you weren't weak to us…, it was an honor, being your crew mate'. Says Shanks, showing his hand to shake.
Buggy returns the feeling.
'It was one hell of a life, see ya later, comrade'. Said Buggy gett back to fixing a fire.
Shanks then left.
As Buggy kept making a fire, his observation haki activated on him.
He sinces a little person trying to sneak up on him. The person is carrying a bat in hand.
…
…
…
Just like that the little person began to swing up to go for the head…
But to the person's surprise, Buggy catches the swing, without looking back.
'Shouldn't attack unless your ready to fight a pirate'. Says Buggy showing no emotions.
Just like that, Buggy kicks the intruder fast in the gut, sending intruder to the ground.
Just like that, Buggy finally manages to light a fire. He then gets up and walks to said intruder.
'So, who are you bub?'. Asked Buggy grabbing the little person before ripping the hood off…
To his surprise, it's just a kid…, with a very familiar face.
'What??'. Asked Buggy in shock.
'Hands off clown, I'll kick your ass!'. Yelled the kid.
Just like that, Buggy lets the kid go, landed on the ground.
'(It's…, Smoker…, what's he doing up here going against me??)'. Thought Buggy confused.
'Your going to pay, I bet your not as strong as me, not even a little bit'. Said Smoker upset.
'The hell ya just say!!, you got a lot of guts to face me alone boy!'. Said Buggy trying to act like he didn't know him.
'As if I need back up, I will kill ya, then I'll be given a reward for taking down a Roger pirate'. Says Smoker grabbing his bat again.
'Have it your way kiddo'. Says Buggy standing there, getting ready to use his observation haki again.
Just like that, Smoker charges at full force, ready to attack.
Buggy decides to close his eyes to better train his haki.
As Smoker begins to swing left, Buggy turns right to dodge.
Confused, Smoker swings right, only for Buggy to turn left.
Getting upset even more, he then tries jabbing at the middle to hit Buggy…
Only for Buggy to dodge far to the left.
Surprised, Smoker lost his footing and flew to the fireplace…, only for Buggy to quickly grab hold of Smoker's shirt.
Seeing this, Smoker was in shock, his face was close to almost getting burnt.
And he saved his face.
'(Why??)'. Thought Smoker confused.
Just like that, Buggy sent Smoker to be hung by the back of his shirt by a rocky wall.
'Huh?!?!, the heck is this??'. Asked Smoker in shock.
Buggy's hand was floating in mid air. It then was one wi5h Buggy's body again.
'News flash kid, devil fruits are real, mine just so happens to be the chop chop fruit'. Says Buggy.
Seeing this, Smoker was shocked in afraid.
'Are you going to kill me now??'. Asked Smoker.
'Na, I don't kill kids, only those who have it coming'. Said Buggy.
'Really??'. Asked Smoker.
'Really really'. Says Buggy with a smile.
'But…, your a pirate'. Said Smoker.
'So?'. Asked Buggy.
Ain't pirates evil??'. Asked Smoker in confusion.
'Nope, not all of us are bad, take me, I want to be free to have a lot of adventures. Plus I fight the good fights'. Says Buggy.
'I see, so I was wrong about you being a Roger Pirate then??'. Asked Smoker.
'Na, your right on that though, I was a Roger Pirate'. Said Buggy.
'What are you doing here??'. Asked Smoker confused.
'I need to train to become stronger than I somewhat was'. Said Buggy.
'I see…, by the way, your name, what was it again?'. Asked Smoker.
It's Buggy, your turn'. Says Buggy.
'Name's Smoker, but my gang call me Smokie'. Said Smoker.
'Gang??'. Asked Buggy in confusion.
'Yep, I'm part of a gang that controls most of the island, apart from this mountain of course'. Says Smoker.
'Hmm?, how old are ya Smoker?'. Asked Buggy knowing it already.
'I'm 12 years old'. Said Smoker.
'Hmm, I see'. Says Buggy.
'If ya want, I can join your crew, but only if ya want me'. Said Smoker.
'But.., your a kid'. Says Buggy.
'So?'. Asked Smoker.
'Hmm, I need to think about it, give me until next morning'. Says Buggy.
'Take your time, I have all day and night'. Said Smoker.
Just like that, Buggy brought Smoker down from the rocky wall.
'Hungry Smoker?'. Asked Buggy.
'Sure, I haven't eaten for 2 days now'. Says Smoker.
As Smoker ate, Buggy thought to himself.
'(If he joins my crew, I could be stronger then before…, but do I want too mean he was to be a marine later on the line, how can this work??)'. Thought Buggy.
Seeing Smoker eating, Buggy decided on one thing.
'(He was in a gang, how he managed to join the marines is a mystery, but if I let him join, he'd be a wanted person along with me)'. Thought Buggy.
'(If he joins, I have a marine vice captain styled pirate in my crew, a marine who later became a vice admiral…, oh what the hell, if he's on my crew, I have a fighting chance)'. Thought Buggy.
'Hey, Smoker, you got a devil fruit yourself?'. Asked Buggy.
'Nope'. Said Smoker still eating.
'If that's the case, tomorrow morning, before we set sail, we'll find a good enough devil fruit for ya'. Says Buggy.
'Really?'. Asked Smoker in shock.
'Yes, welcome to my crew Smoker'. Said Buggy declaring Smoker as a Buggy pirate.
'Awesome, I'm going to be a pirate!'. Said Smoker excited.
'Now then, it's getting dark out, let's rest for now. We've got a lot to do in the morning'. Says Buggy.
'Yes captain Buggy sir'. Says Smoker.
Just like that they went to bed.
