It's a nice day out. The sun is shining. The birds are flying. The people are minding themselves. Everything is perfect…
Until Julius gets hit by a bus. Killing him in seconds.
Next thing he knows, he wakes up in a bed in a hotel room.
'(Where am I?, what is this place?)' thought Julius.
As he gets out of bed, he walks to a mirror…
Only to find that he's in a familiar person's body.
'(Oh crap…, I'm Buggy)' thought Julius/Buggy.
Not knowing what to do, he sets on the bed to think.
'(If I'm in Buggy's body. Then I must be in one piece, but what year is this??)' thought Buggy.
Just then a red haired teen pops inside the room with food.
'(It's "red hair" shanks. I guess I'm a year before the great pirate era began)' thought Buggy.
'Ah, Buggy, your up, that's great, how's your fever?' Asked Shanks.
'I think I'm ok' says Buggy.
'Let me check' says Shanks as he checks Buggy's fever.
'Hmm. Looks like it's really gone' said Shanks.
'Glad to hear, any word about the others coming back?' Asked Buggy.
'Not yet, have faith Buggy, they'll return' says Shanks with a calm smile.
'I hope your right' said Buggy.
As the two eat breakfast, Buggy thinks to himself.
'(If I'm 14 years old. Then I must have the chop chop fruit in me)' thought Buggy.
After breakfast, Shanks takes a nap to digest.
Buggy on the other went out to try out his devil fruit powers.
——
[a few hours later]
After finding a forest, Buggy was training his devil fruit powers to his heart content.
After that he thought to himself.
'(Given that I'm blade proof, I can't be killed by bladed weapons. But guns and blunt weapons can do damage to me. I guess I better try training myself in swordsmanship and marksmanship)' thought Buggy.
