In reference to this post; I was gonna reply in the comments but once again, it got too long, and I figured I might as well make a brief post about this because shit's interesting but the OG post was getting so long I didn't want to extend it any further. So. New post.

But I'm also going to make this a lowkey follow-up to this post, where I briefly talked about whether or not Crocodile is worthy of a redemption. Because I did have multiple people reply to it, mentioning they don't think Crocodile needs a redemption, which isn't wrong. Villian redemptions come down to personal preference (some people like them more than others generally speaking), and the specific circumstances of a character and the story they go through. (Personally, I am a fucking sucker for a good redemption story, and One Piece? Has how many redeemed villians? Kuma, Hatchan and Bon-chan? Perona too? Buggy and Mr 3 if we're generous??? I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, but the ratio is quite low is my point) The reason I want to bring that up again, is that depending on what Crocodile's trauma really boils down to (**since we don't know for sure what it is**), it could go against the very core messages of One Piece if he just dies without that trauma being resolved. And at the same time, if his trauma is what I think it is, then he can not heal from it without being redeemed. And the opposite is true as well, if his trauma isn't what I think it is, then he doesn't need to heal from it, and he doesn't need to be redeemed. I do have a whole separate post slow cooking in my drafts right now so I don't want to go too deep into that subject here and now. But the point is. If we want Crocodile to open up and be vunerable and heal from his shit, it means he's either getting a redemption arc or redemption in death. The latter is way fucking sadder, but again, a whole separate post.

BTW quick apology but I figured since there's a bunch of shit in this post that I've written about separately before, I might as well link to those posts for like context, so people can get where I'm coming from with my nonsense while keeping this post brief-ish

BUT ONTO THE ACTUAL SUBJECT As I have kind of mentioned before, I do think Crocodile probably has multiple layers of trauma going for him

We know losing to Whitebeard Did Things to his psyche for certain

I think it's very plausible he might've been betrayed by his former crew if he ever had one

I think it's likely Dragon didn't take too well to him transitioning

And between that and Crocodile already having tried to kill Luffy multiple times, he probably believes his son would never accept him as his other dad, especially since he already hates him.

(And I do think it's likely he might have some additional early childhood trauma based on how Oda writes these things normally but whatever that could be is an absolute mystery)

And if I'm right and those are (some of) the different layers of his trauma, then for Crocodile to open up and heal from it you'd need to do it step-by-step, layer by layer

I think Luffy accepting Crocodile would be the most important thing, above all else. Because if Crocodile loving and caring about his son is the only shred of humanity left in him, if Luffy is the only thing Crocodile cares about anymore while believing no one else will ever do so for him, then having that feeling returned is the key to getting Crocodile to just start to heal. If his son can't accept and forgive him then what would it matter what anyone else thinks? In my mind, Luffy is The Sledgehammer that can break Crocodile's walls.

But that's the first layer, the first step to getting Crocodile to become vunerable

If he does have that betrayal-based trauma, then I think finding people who would actually follow him and be loyal to him would help him heal on that front. And... This probably sounds strange, but I think Mihawk is the best candidate for it. Not just because he could be to Croc what Zoro is to Luffy (in many ways), and not just because of the Romancing SaGa 2 comparisons, but because Crocodile does already seem to respect Mihawk on some level. Like he specifically invited Mihawk to start Cross Guild with. IDK if they have like shared history before or if it's just because they're Fellow Former Warlords or simply because he knows Mihawk is strong and in a vunerable position (after losing his Shichibukai Rights) or what, but despite Crocodile saying he doesn't trust people, he seems to trust Mihawk enough to invite him. And he seems to respect Mihawk's opinions on things, like he might view themselves as equals. So if Mihawk, The Greatest Swordsman In The World of all people, genuinely expressed faith and loyalty to Crocodile... Yeah, I think that would do a lot for Croc. Especially if Mihawk found out about Crocodile's baggage and chose to follow him despite/because of it.

But if we want Crocodile to Heal ALL THE WAY. He and Dragon need to have a talk.

Which will not be easy, considdering like.

Look at that fucking expression on the panel on the right. Dragon is more than likely beyond furious with Crocodile over what he did in Alabasta. And for good reason. And frankly, I can't tell if they can ever come back from that.

(Sidenote, but this page these panels are from (from Chapter 1058) follows immidiately after the page where Buggy introduces Crocodile and Mihawk to Cross Guild, Dragon's placement on the bottom right of this page matching perfectly where Crocodile was placed in the previous page. So considdering what Dragon says and the expression he makes... Man, if there ever was a way for Oda to tell us what Dragon thinks of Crocodile without explicitly having him say it, yeah, this would be it)

And I'm sure that even if Crocodile got over whatever heartbreak might've happened between him and Dragon and just moved on... The fact that Dragon never called Crocodile and warned him about their son being a pirate, with a bounty, who might be on his way to the Grand Line, where he could stumble his way to Alabasta, where Crocodile was famous for his Pirate Crushing Heroics mind you... Yeah. Crocodile would have a perfectly understandable reason to be furious at Dragon too. He almost killed their son without knowing because Dragon never warned him, never told their son's name to him, never told his OWN full name to Crocodile.

So needless to say.

They have a lot of differences to overcome. Things they've done that they'd both need to look past, forgive and forget. Somehow. And I'd be lying if I didn't admit I'd find it damn near impossible to happen.

But can you imagine, if despite everything, Dragon still loved him? And was sorry about whatever the fuck happened 19 years ago? And didn't want to lose him again?

I think that would be the thing that would help Crocodile heal all the way in the end.

If Luffy is the first step, then Dragon is the last.

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Crocodad #Sir Crocodile #Either that or Mihawk and Crocodile actually get together #Honestly doubt Dragodile will happen because. I can not imagine Oda giving us a canon gay couple #I would literally not complain at all I would lose my god damn mind (in a good way)#I just think Crocodile has too many deathflags (If Crocodad Real). Like he's probably going to sacrifice himself protecting someone else #Probably Luffy. Maybe Dragon. He's probably gonna die is the point.#It's more likely he dies loved and forgiven than gets to live loved and forgiven #But like I said that's a whole different post I've been struggling to write for almost two weeks now lmao #Mainly because the sheer amount of deathflags make me so impossibly sad I don't wanna pick it up again jdhgkfg

the song Cien Años by Pedro Infante is 100000% shuggy coded. look at the lyrics and tell me that it isn't them!!

i see shanks singing his heart out to this song while looking through pictures of buggy. meanwhile, buggy is in a very happy relationship and has healed and moved on; now it's shanks that is left in the past. clinging to old memories.

lyrics under the cut to further prove my point:

Pasaste a mi lado con gran indiferencia / You passed by my side with heartless indifference

Tus ojos ni siquiera voltearon hacia mí /Your eyes didn't even turn to me

Te vi sin que me vieras / I saw you but you didn't see me

Te hablé sin que me oyeras / I spoke to you but you didn't hear me

Y toda mi amargura se ahogó dentro de mí / And all my bitterness drowned inside of me

then we get to the chorus and it's:

Me duele hasta la vida saber que me olvidaste / It hurts me to life to know that you forgot me

Pensar que ni desprecio merezca yo de ti / To think that I don't even deserve contempt from you

Y sin embargo, sigues unida a mi existencia / And yet, you're still attached to my existence

Y si vivo cien años, cien años pienso en ti / And if I live for a hundred years, then for a hundred years I'll think of you

#PLEASE I WAS JUST LISTENING TO THE SONG WHILE LOOKING AT IMAGES OF SHUGGY #donde esta mi gente?? i know yall know what im talking about 😭#old mexican love songs are so good. they just hit different #again. i should be working...(i am not a good example of how to use company time properly)#my heart hurts. these two drive me insane #i've said this before and i'll say it again but these two are never getting back together #how they are right now? i don't see either of them making the move forward to do that #anyways buggy is happy. he has two boyfriends now (mihawk and crocodile)#shuggy #red haired shanks #buggy the clown #shanks #buggy #one piece #actually now that i think about it. someone else has probably already made this connection #thats how good this song is for shuggy

Cross-Guild Romance fic idea: Werewolf shifter AU. Mihawk and Crocodile are alpha werewolves and even rarer they are mates. They don't broadcast either facts to the world but omega Buggy finds out about it. Through a comedy of errors he somehow ends up challenging both alphas and then instead of just groveling and apologizing he goes off and runs, meaning Mihawk and Crocodile have no choice but to chase after him. At first Buggy is terrified as he runs deeper into the island but soon exhilaration fills him as he actually outruns and outsmarts both Crocodile and Mihawk at several instances during the chase. Crocodile and Mihawk do catch Buggy eventually as the sun sets but instead of tearing him apart, they've both been impressed with Buggy's prowess and want to take him as their mate. What seemed like a life and death chase then becomes a playful and tender wedding night for the trio.

Well, told @theeofficialnightmare69 this one too, because it was a far cry from the one before this one. We think the same thing on this.

I'm like thinking Buggy's going that meme or thing of a creature saying I'm fast as fuck, boy and the ADHD Fox from YouTube.

Just the imaginary of Buggy juking out Mihawk, maybe making him slip & slide on the soil, as well as cracking Crocodile's knees from the fast movements are so funny to me.

I'm thinking like Buggy using his surroundings to his advantage, duck under and jump over things to get away from them. Maybe making things fall in Crocodile and Mihawk's way.

Just when they corrdier him, Buggy must be ready to fight for life and death. Then it's just Mihawk and Crocodile panting and maybe saying time-out. Then them just wanting him to be their mate!!!

Buggy must of been so shocked about this, and that night being their wedding night. That means their idea of wedding night is like before the church making marriage something they do. How before is that the lovers say their vows together, alone with only each other (or in this case, there's three peeps) So cute!!!

Title: Buggy's guide to bagging boyfriends

Chapter: 2/?

Word count: 2200

Rating: T (bc Crocodile has a potty mouth, asjdlaksjda like always.)

Chapter Excerpt:

“Please?” Buggy pleads, and it seems like he has a lot more courage now that he realizes that Crocodile isn’t going to kick his ass. “Please, please, pleaseee?” He begs and then that clown, actually has the nerve, the gall, the audacity to… Grab Crocodile’s hand with his own two, still begging him to give him what he wants, “Please, it won’t be that long. I promise.”

Crocodile glances down at their hands, and his mind is screaming at him now: Yank your hand back, you fool. Punch him, yell at him, do something, don’t just let him touch you… He’s an annoying, pathetic, worthless little clown, remember? And yet...

“Yeah, sure, whatever.” Crocodile replies flatly, now avoiding both Buggy’s gaze and the sight of their hands pressed together. “Just don’t screw around, got it, Bug-... Clown?” Oh, good god. He almost called him by his actual name. What is wrong with him? Is he sick? Did that clown poison him somehow? What the hell is this?!

[Previous Chapter]

As soon as the alarm at his bedside goes off, Crocodile groggily hits the snooze button and then feels around his nightstand for his hook. Instead of touching cold metal though, his hand touches the cool wooden surface of his nightstand, and he opens one of his eyes, confused for a moment. Did it fall on the floor? He groans, not sure how the damn thing managed to fall on the floor, but annoyed nonetheless. He finally sits up and then looks down at the ground. What the hell? It’s not there either...

Now there’s no way in hell that it could have fallen off his nightstand and rolled under the bed, it’s just too damn heavy, yet what other choice does Crocodile have but to look? He gets out of bed and crouches down, feeling under the bed for his hook…

Nothing.

Where the hell is his hand?

Crocodile turns on the light on his nightstand and uses it to check under his bed and, sure as shit, there’s no hook under there. He frowns and takes a moment to think back to last night. He ate dinner, took a freezing shower, and then went to bed… Hmm, he wouldn’t take his hand off during dinner, and he wouldn’t just leave it in the bathroom either... Still, he retraces his steps, checking the bathroom to see if it’s in there, and when he still can’t find his hook, he starts getting really pissed. Where the fuck could it be?

Did someone steal it?

Who would be stupid enough to steal his hook?!

The answer to that question pops up in his mind a moment later, “Fucking, clown.” He mutters under his breath. He bets Buggy did it. Why? He has absolutely no idea why he would decide to steal his hook. Maybe he did it as a ‘cute’ little prank, or maybe he did it to finally get back at Crocodile for all the times he’s been a dick to him, either way, Crocodile’s gut is telling him that Buggy stole it.

Crocodile gets himself dressed, and it’s the tiniest things that start to piss him off now that he doesn’t have his hand, like how he struggles to put on his belt or get his shirt buttoned, and he just keeps muttering to himself how he’s going to catch that damn clown and beat him senseless throughout the entire process. Seriously, what a pain in the ass! Eventually, he does get himself all nice and tidy even with one hand, and then rushes out of his tent (Christ, he sleeps in a fucking circus tent!) and then looks for that annoying clown.

The first place he checks is Buggy’s own bedroom, and he’s even more annoyed when he doesn’t find him there. He moves on to checking each and every one of Buggy’s hang-out places afterwards, ready to knock his lights out for taking his hook, and yet...Buggy’s nowhere to be found? Where the hell is he and where is Crocodile’s hand???

Tsk. Annoying.

At some point, he runs into Mihawk, who looks just as pissed off as he is, “Have you seen that coward?” He asks as he approaches him, “My sword’s missing and I know he’s behind it.” Ah, so this has to be something like revenge, right? Chairman Buggy is tired of being picked on and so he’s finally getting his revenge, and the first step is disarming both him and Hawkeye, right? Pathetic, Crocodile doesn’t need his hook to kick Buggy’s ass. “Don’t know if you could tell or not,” Crocodile replies, and there’s a hint of sarcasm in his voice, “But my damn hook is missing, and i’m pretty damn sure that the clown’s behind that too.”

Mihawk clicks his tongue, looking almost as if he’s annoyed for both of them now. How sweet. “I looked all over for him, but i honestly don’t know where he is.” Ain’t that the truth? Crocodile’s spent all morning looking for that damn clown, but he still can’t find him.

They decide to join up and hunt the clown down together after that, asking various wimps and overly devout followers of Buggy’s where their beloved Captain, or Chairman, (or whatever the fuck title he’s going by this week.) is, but no one seems to know where the clown is, and Crocodile isn’t sure if it’s because they’re covering up for him or if they’re all idiots around here.

It’s probably both.

By the time they finally run into someone of use, it’s about eight in the morning, and the follower says he doesn’t know where Buggy could be, but thinks he saw him heading towards the direction of their workshop earlier, and Crocodile asks why Buggy would even be in such a place because it’s not like he does much work anyways, to which, his subordinate simply replies, “I don’t know, really.”

Of course. Everyone around this island is so fucking useless, they couldn’t even plan a funeral.

Still, Crocodile and Mihawk take the tip seriously and head over to the workshop, and Crocodile swears that if that little shit is in there, he’s going to kill him. He’s actually going to kill him because there is absolutely no excuse for taking Crocodile’s damn hand so early in the morning or at all, really!

“Hey, Clown, you in there?” Crocodile calls out as they approach the entrance, voice filled with irritation. If he’s in there, he better hope that he can outrun Crocodile because that twerp is as good as dead.

As soon as Crocodile steps foot into the tent and sees blue in front of him, he wants to lunge forward and attack that clown, but then he notices something…strange.

They find him sitting on a stool, polishing Hawkeye’s sword, but Crocodile doesn’t give a shit about Hawkeye’s sword, he wants to know where his hand is. “Where’s my damn hook?” He asks, with a frown, ready to beat the shit out of Buggy at any moment, until he sees Buggy look up with soft eyes and pick his hand up from beside him on the table. Crocodile notices that it’s glittering brightly and that the damn thing looks better than the day he got it, and he’s so confused.

He watches as Buggy stands up and then willingly gives him back his hook, “I know i shouldn’t have taken your stuff,” He admits “But i just suddenly thought to myself: ‘Wow, these guys would look so cool if their weapons were all clean and shiny… and i was hoping that i could get everything polished before you even noticed your things were gone, but obviously that didn’t happen…” He sighs, rubbing the back of his head, “But, yeah, i wasn’t trying to make you guys mad or anything, just wanted you to look cool.”

He…what?

Cool? He took their things in the early hours of the morning to polish them and make them look cool… that’s it…? There’s no revenge plot or anything like that…? No pranks? No wanting to piss Crocodile and Mihawk off, he just wanted to do something nice for the two of them… He just wanted them to look, ‘cool’?

What the fuck?

There's no way he's telling the truth, right? Crocodile stares at Buggy for a moment and then turns his attention to his hook, twisting and turning it, and checking to make sure there's nothing wrong, and…

All is as it should be?

Crocodile isn't sure how to respond. He's mad that Buggy took his hook…but, at the same time, it's perfectly fine. In fact, it looks better than it has in years… He looks back at that clown again, and it’s kind of annoying, but he can feel his anger dissolving on the spot, "Whatever…just don't do it again," he tells him before he rushes out of the room, no longer in the mood to kick his ass.

Huh, ain’t that a first?

What was that clown thinking? He wonders as he puts his hand on, and he's honestly so relieved to have it back, he feels weird without it. He heads to their meeting room because, honestly, it’s the only place that he can relax in this damn circus, everywhere else he’s hounded by Buggy’s men who always ask him annoying questions and try to be his pal. Ugh.

As the day drags by and he tries to get some work done, He continues to look at his hook, and the more he thinks about what Buggy's done for him, the more he grows confused. Who cares if Crocodile's hook looks cool or not? It's not supposed to look cool, it's…it's his hand and his weapon, at the very least it's just supposed to be there and provide him some aid… It doesn't have to be cool or anything like that.

But, maybe it does look better now… only a little better though, because before Buggy shined it, Crocodile's hook was already beautiful and intimidating…but now, it’s both those things, and it's cool…?

Hm… Maybe he shouldn’t be too mad about this whole thing, maybe he should just put everything behind him…his hook does look really nice now… Just as he’s having those thoughts, he hears a soft voice call out to him from behind, “Um, Croccy?” Oh, what now? Crocodile thinks, glancing over at that clown as he peeks his head into the meeting room. “I’m sorry.”

What is he sorry for? Did he mess something up again? What was it this time? He waits for Buggy to tell him that he accidentally lost something or ruined something, or that he did some other thing that will undoubtedly annoy the hell out of Crocodile, but instead, he quietly adds, “Please, don’t be mad at me. I know I shouldn't have stolen your hook…” Huh? That’s what this is all about… ? he thinks and suddenly Crocodile feels strangely…

Soft?... Wait...Huh?! What the hell is this emotion he’s feeling?

“Let me make it up to you!” Buggy says, now slowly, cautiously creeping his way into the room, and it’s weird, usually by now Crocodile would be heated and ready to yell at his ‘boss’, but that’s not how he feels right now. He calmly watches Buggy and waits for his next move instead. “Please! I really want to be your friend!” He tells him. Crocodile doesn’t need friends... he never has and he never will, but…

He continues to hear Buggy out regardless?

“I know stealing your hand was wrong!” Buggy repeats, “I get that. I messed up big time, so let me make up for it!” And how exactly does he plan on making things up to Crocodile? “Uh, but first i have to ask for a tiny little favor, okay?” He says, clapping his hands together, “I need…like… a week off?”

“Okay.” Crocodile simply replies, and afterwards both he and Buggy are shocked by his nonchalant attitude. Wait, what? This is definitely not how he would normally handle a situation like this. Normally he would tell Buggy he’s out of his mind and to go back to work, but he just… wow, he really just agreed to that the first time around, didn’t he? What the hell is wrong with him? “Uh…You aren’t going to ask why?” Buggy asks, chuckling nervously. Yeah, perhaps he should have at least done that.

God, what is wrong with him?

“Why do you need a week off, clown?” Crocodile asks, leaning back in his chair and sighing, but honestly… he still doesn’t feel annoyed like he usually does whenever Buggy comes around. Buggy smiles at him, bright…and…prettily? “I just want to go into town and pick something nice up for you and Hawkeye!” He announces, still smiling, “It’s a surprise though, so you can’t know what i’m going to get you.. But, uh, can I borrow Daz and Galdino?”

Crocodile doesn’t give a shit about Galdino, but Daz is another story… “Please?” Buggy pleads, and it seems like he has a lot more courage now that he realizes that Crocodile isn’t going to kick his ass. “Please, please, pleaseee?” He begs and then that clown, actually has the nerve, the gall, the audacity to… Grab Crocodile’s hand with his own two, still begging him to give him what he wants, “Please, it won’t be that long. I promise.”

“Thank you, thank you!” Buggy exclaims happily, squeezing his hand tightly, “You won’t regret this, Croccy!” He says before letting his hand go and leaving the meeting room happily, leaving Crocodile to stare down at both his hands, confused.

What the hell, man?!

What is shank's reaction to cross guild getting together or any of the ex-Roger pirates like reyleigh or crous

Do you want the reaction I think he has in canon or the fanon, gayer one? Because I can do both. And both are pretty gay, ngl. Shanks is not even trying to hide in the glass closet he's just, out of there. Gay little man. Anyway-

Realistically, I think Shanks is happy Buggy is making a name for himself. The fact that he's joining forces with these other two is, uh, weird to say the least. He's honestly more surprised about Mihawk accepting to do this rather than Buggy having this organization, honestly. But I'm 100% sure he saw the poster and went all nostalgic. You know that bittersweet smile of "I'm happy for you but I wish we were together for this/We could've done this on our own"? Well, something like that. But I think that, even if he hasn't moved on from Buggy (never will. Gay little pirate) the whole point about Shanks with him is that he does see Buggy's potential and I don't think he's surprised about this. At least not in the way Luffy is, for example. It's a weird choice of business partners and Shanks doubts that he's the leader but damn his best friend (ex best friend. He has to remind the lil two letters that go before the term) is becoming even more important. I think that's also what makes him want to go look for the One Piece, besides Luffy, too. Like, things are definitely happening and changing and he needs to go after his dream too. Basically, I think he's proud of Buggy but he regrets not being able to be with him right now, and even could resent Crocodile and Mihawk a little bit. We'll see how that goes!

In a more fanon, self-indulgent concept, I think he wants to die. I think he's worried because what the actual fuck is Buggy doing with these two? And I think that, even if he's proud of him, he looks at Crocodile and Mihawk with so much jealousy,,, He'd be complimenting Buggy on his achievements and then turn around at the two of them like "grrrrrrrrrrrr *protective dog noises*". Thing that Buggy absolutely fucking hates because he can take care of himself, thank you very much, and does not need a reminder of how he has to be protected by Shanks. Not that Shanks is going all jealous ex on them, but he kind of is and Cross Guild is so fucking done because he has no right to act like this anymore. Beck tries to talk with him but Shanks is all like "hahaha why would we need to talk about this :)??? I am perfectly stable by the way where's the rum?" and his alcoholic self-destructive ass can't take the fact that Buggy is happy (could you consider that being happy? Not really. In a position of power. Kind of) without him. I don't remember the name of the fic but I read something about Shanks going to them and wanting to help Buggy because his Vivre Card was getting burned to ashes and Buggy refusing to be helped because he's tired of always getting saved by Shanks and he can protect himself and Shanks was going all worried boyfriend on him and aaaaaaaaaaaaaa great fanfic.

On the other hand, I think in general the whole thing is a surprise for everyone. I mean. It's not really the fact that Buggy is in a position of power because okay, he's still their little clumsy clown and it's weird seeing him like this, but he's been making a name for himself for a long time, and being even more powerful isn't surprising. What is surprising is that Crocodile and Mihawk are choosing to work for him (because that's what people think, and it's hilarious). I think they either laugh at this or are like "what the fuck??" but proceed to laugh anyway. I mean, the oldest generation is just watching these things happen like a telenovela. Also, I think Rayleigh is dying to see Shanks and Buggy again and talk about these things. Please Oda let them meet with their dad I am begging you-

#buggy is either having the best time of his life or the worst #we'll see when they show up again in the manga i am going insane it's been so long bring cross guild back i wanna see them i miss them #it doesn't matter what shanks' reacton is the important thing is that he's very gay #one piece #buggy the clown #cross guild #red haired shanks #shuggy #silvers rayleigh

do u think there is a possibility more characters will join up with cross guild? im manifesting the current amazon lily residents because it feeds into my remaining roger pirates reunion wish (and would also be a way for the narrative to force both Crocodile and Mihawk to be more civil to Buggy without either of them having to grow fond or tolerant of him. they just can't beat him up anymore cause his super strong pirate dad is here). Also Boa and Buggy together would be hilarious.

hmm. i don't know, i honestly hadn't thought about it! that group seems pretty crowded with strong personalities as it stands, adding more could make things kinda messy.

it would be funny if cross guild ended up collecting all of the former warlords who aren't, yknow. in jail, or already aligned with other factions, or what have you. and there's a simple enough way to pull one of them in: perona! if she manages to get moria away from blackbeard's island alive, i don't think either of them are gonna be in great shape, and who else would she go to for help but her old roommate?

the amazons, though… i don't know. buggy's crew is something like 90% male ex-felons, and the one woman we definitely know about (alvida) is very protective of her position as Most Beautiful Woman You've Ever Met. i don't think anyone comes out of an attempted union of these groups happy.

(except maybe rayleigh, since he gets to see buggy and is probably not super concerned about petty personality clashes after the life he's lived.)

…however.

if it's not a willing union, but more of the "needs must" chaos that's driven cross guild so far… i think that could be very, very funny. especially hancock and buggy! because one, yes, that's a man, grr argh; two, i would be very surprised if her petrification powers did anything to him; three, her second favorite man on the planet raised him! surely that counts for something!

& while i would love a roger pirates reunion at cross guild or literally anywhere, oda p l e a s e, i can't decide whether i think buggy would actually want rayleigh interfering on his behalf.

on one hand: i have my pride, damn it! 😤 i'm forty fucking years old, i can take care of myself! 😤

on the other: …no i can't 🥺 please make the mean boys stop hurting me mr rayleigh 🥺

i flip-flop on this, and tbh i think so would buggy.

#asked and answered #one piece #buggy #cross guild #...boy i have no idea how to tag for amazon lily as a collective #let's go with...#amazon lily #boa hancock #silvers rayleigh #*i want a roger pirates reunion

I don’t have an NSFW Twitter but love your cross guild ABO idea so please also consider: asymmetrical ruts. Mihawk having to deal with an extremely aggressive and possessive crocodile keeping buggy no further away than on his lap for days — and crocodile having to deal with a hyper sensitive Mihawk who keeps rubbing all over EVERYTHING to mark it and try to get rid of Crocodile’s “scent”.

OR WORSE: relative ruts. Crocodile or Mihawk both go into rut, so neither can leave the other’s territory since Buggy is BOTH of their territories. So instead they have to compete and….loser has to take up roll of omega for the rest of the rit, their rut becoming a “pseudo heat” no chance of pregnancy but otherwise completely sexually submissive, there as an “auxiliary” partner and sex toy for the alpha and omega. An extra home for when the omega is full (crocodile ends up in this position the most whenever their ruts overlap. He would NEVER admit to enjoying the break from work. Of being completely lazy and everything including himself smelling like Buggy and Mihawk.

Also :omega pregnancy whoops. Alphas fighting and competing over whose the father. Neither actually wants it but they’re not letting the other get the baby either. Both trying to convince buggy to announce the baby as “their’s” and not the other’s. Twins. Takes a few months for newborns to have paternity tests. Mihawk is a wire father and crocodile is a cloth father. Mihawk does research on baby formula and ways to relieve buggy of annoying and uncomfortable maternal duties, Crocodile keeps the babies with or without buggy close to him when doing paperwork. Buggy will either wear his coat while holding the kids or Crocodile will like. Keep in in an inner pocket or baby carrier or something. Keeps them warm and smelling like him and encourages them to at least pack-bond with him. (Buggy is falling in love with both his mates. Mihawk draws him hot baths and gives him amazing massages, cooks dinner. Crocodile gets the babies bottle fed and put to sleep. Yes he’s fallen asleep with them, he’s buggy has moved the babies and snuck into crocodile’s lap to sleep together (totally just because he’s worried that with only one secure arm the babies are at risk of rolling/falling away) and he’s Mihawk has followed. The three like a sandwich with Buggy and the babies protectively in the middle

Tests come in and it’s a litter! So one twin is Crocodile’s and the other is Mihawk’s (Mihawk is now VERY mad his baby smells like Crocodile) (it’s ok when the crocodile one grows up he likes uncle Mihawk more anyway and Mihawk is secretly very smug)

(thread referenced here) omg wait I’m gonna go off the rails once again

I’ve never really dug into ABO, so I didn’t realize marking your scent and stuff too is a thing … wait that’s really hot oh no … not me with my scent kink AND piss kink about to explode

Im obsessed with the idea of them competing over marking Buggy and his room … like, imagine Buggy just minding his business during the day, and suddenly Mihawk drags him into a dark corner and forced his hand down his pants, rubbing his dick over Buggy’s palm to make sure the scent is there Omg …

Ofc when Crocodile smells it, he’s annoyed in the fun sort of way, and he’s licking it off of Buggy’s hand until the only smell left is his saliva UGH

Them both taking turns peeing all over Buggy … Buggy is SO ANNOYED he’s so DONE WITH THEIR SHIT swear to god if they pee on him ONE MORE TIME (he’ll do absolutely nothing bc one look at their hot and bothered expressions makes him melt into a little puddle, just like the piss he’s covered innn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Each of their pee having a distinct flavor and smell … Buggy learning to love both, so so much … almost craving it - omg I’m on my lunch break rn I have to stop LOL BUT omg …. this ask has left me a horny mess

#sorry to tangent like always #I guess I shouldn’t apologize if I’m gonna keep doing it lol #ergghhmmmnnhdjdjxjxjs

In spirit of Mr 3’s birthday, I’m making One Piece give him presents “first birthday in Cross Guild” style.

What do people give him? 👀

Buggy: sucks at giving gifts, but is great at unintentionally adding sentiment to them. Galdino gets one of Buggy’s old knife sets regifted to him last minute, which ends up being worth a lot unbeknownst to Buggy. Sorry, no take backsies. It’s Galdino’s birthday, bitches!!!

Crocodile: The gift of tolerance. Crocodile tolerates Mr 3 slightly more for 24 hours. And offers him a cigar that he anxiously declines.

Mihawk: As a fine wine enthusiast, he understands Galdino’s fancy tastes. He receives some expensive alcohols, teas, all different kinds of snacks from around the world, and this one rare coffee brew from a nearly impossible to reach island. Mihawk is also hoping Galdino will share with him, so some of what he gifted him was secretly stuff he wanted to try himself. Mihawk was fighting for his life trying not to ask, but he still ended up dropping hints until he got to try the coffee.

The rest of cross guild (underlings): Threw him a huge surprise celebration, which made him run out of the room crying since he wasn’t used to his birthday being made such a special event. He hadn’t been around pirates long enough at that time to realize literally anything can warrant that much partying if you make enough excuses.

Alvida: “be lucky I’m even in your presence” but she was actually the main one arranging the birthday celebration. She literally bought the cake herself. She inflated 80% of the balloons and hung the streamers and made everyone hide before Galdino came in. She was borderline homicidal, the way she made sure everything would be perfect.

Miss Goldenweek: Artists give other artists art stuff because they never stop needing new supplies. Ergo, she gives him paint, brushes, and a “how to paint realism” book for beginners (a bit backhanded, but still somewhat thoughtful. Considering they no longer work together, he’ll need to learn how to paint his own sculptures eventually.)

Luffy: his first instinct was food since that’s what he would want. Luckily someone else managed to talk him away from that and into something that Galdino might want. Luffy sent him the money to finally get that obnoxious crack in his glasses fixed— though it was not his own idea whatsoever.

Bon Clay: still in Impel Down, but if they were there, they’d probably hand him a gag gift before the actual present. Galdino would open a bunch of makeup or a pair of pointe shoes Bon got for herself and make that one face that’s like: “I’m trying to look grateful because you’re watching me, but on the inside I’m genuinely pissed by what I got.” Bon absolutely would be able to tell, and it would send him into hysterics. They would almost forget to give Mr 3 his real gift (some nice men’s care products and new outfits— obviously) but luckily remember before the situation has a chance to escalate. And honestly the whole thing would be one big “step into the mind of a gay gender-conforming cis man” challenge for Bon, and they’d still run everything by someone to make sure what she picked out was the appropriate level of definitely-not-fem-but-not-too-violently-masc-either.

(Btw I cycle through pronouns for Bon, so don’t mind the inconsistencies in that last paragraph. It’s intentional.)

1082 you were worth the wait. This is a fun one. Starting off with the Marines, reeling from Cross Guild’s own bounty system. We also get to see the lovely Hina. This line in particular though. It’s the exact type of thing I’d pull out as an example of Egghead making explicit Wano’s subtler themes that are usually big ones Kiku holds up. If anyone said it. Naturally though, the Crane is such a big motif that it carries more weight coming from the Great Advisor.

As far as I’m concerned, bookending another intermission chapter with this and anything on Kamabakka is staying the course. Wouldn’t it be wild if the middle had something like a big beat for showing off the raw power of saying the right thing at the right time?

Smash cut to CrocHawk having a business talk while a battered clown hangs in the background will never not be funny. Hi Buggy! Always a favorite face for us here and one we were talking about well before introducing Cross Guild. For everything said about her crossing paths with Shanks in The Red Thread of Fate, that could all equally apply to Buggy. You’re used to seeing him look like the fool and Shanks the cool guy, we play with that very idea heavily in this chapter. A situation built around the pair being curious about Neko & Inu’s big sister when they had a few hours in Wano though...guy like Buggy might actually be a little better at reading between the lines.

What comes from this alone is vindication for looking at the tail end of Wano into Egghead through this lens. It’s a clarion call this is what we’re playing with and it makes perfect sense for this point in the story. Power vs. the Illusion of it. Using either responsibly when the world rocks in your wake. How even empty bluster at the right moment can change the course of history. To pile on with this idea of reignting dashed dreams, feeling outshone by another...it’s easy to forget this chapter started with VA Tsuru spelling out the “products of our environment” theme.

“There’s a difference between battle prowess and winning or losing.” Buggy just claimed a victory over Crocodile & Mihawk. And I love his philosophy. Snag the treasure, screw the fight. Buggy’s legitimately showing how he has the capacity to rise to the occasion here. When push came to shove, he got his way and a big part of that is that the apparatus is his to be fair. But he took charge and did it flashily. The right words at the right time can accomplish so much.

You know what would be a great way to beat someone like this? Choosing the right moment to expose and humiliate them publicly. There’s also this big element of rekindling a dream. Reasons you might bury the true one, settle for less. This chapter leans so heavily into this running thread I’ve been on about. So many aspects of Egghead so far have just been hammering in this territory the quiet lady from Wano can bundle together so elegantly but Buggy here is sprinting ahead with it in this intermission.

Then it just keeps giving. Subtle, but the exact type of thing I was looking for out of Shanks in that Red Thread post. We’ve already poked a little at the bit about the high bar of swaying loyalties. Blackbeard did it, Buggy’s more succeeding where Rocks failed through sheer charisma, Shanks has his gag of failing to poach Marco. A weak fleet. Losing Buggy as a potential underling here. It always stuck with me he has a pretty weak philosophy. “If two people can’t see eye to eye, it’s best they go their separate ways.” Clearly has all the potential in the world, but lacks the drive. That idea of a stifled prodigy.

It’s that he feels like he lacks something here. Bare minimum, I do still see that heavy potential for it to stem from the brief visit to Wano and an encounter with the then-slightly older Kiku. It’s such a perfect spot and you could use her in so many ways to cloud Shanks through those themes of looking out for the masses, poise & composure, being responsible with power. Seeing the harm Oden caused incidentally is a great initial spark to making that decision of staying with Buggy rather than going to Laugh Tale. Snowballing into whatever he asked Roger about that moved him to tears. What spurred this change of heart here. Just like Luffy will ultimately need to surpass Shanks, Shanks based on what we’ve seen could be someone who failed to feel like he’s done so with Roger.

So supposedly the World Government created the Shichibukai System at the begining of the Great Pirate era, right? Roger's execution caused a massive influx of pirates to go out to the seas to try and claim One Piece, so between that and the threat of the Yonkou the World Government wanted to get things "back in balance", thus they began recruiting some of the most powerful, willing pirates to "join" their side. And so we got our funny little Warlords

If Crocodile did really set out on his funny little adventure immidiately after Roger's execution then he would've been offered the position of a Shichibukai within that first year of his pirating career, so it is actually very plausible Crocodile could be one of the true original Seven Warlords the WG picked out. But like, yeah, that leaves me wondering who the remaining six might've been. Who were the original Seven Warlords the World Government chose?

'Cause we know Hancock, Jinbei, Doflamingo and Kuma joined 13-4 years ago (respectively), so at least four of the original positions have been replaced at least once, if not more. Like for all we know the Shichibukai from the begining of the series could've been the third or fourth "generation" of Warlords

But also. We don't know when Mihawk nor Moria joined the Shichibukai. They could be people who took seats from previous Warlords like the others, or, for all we know, they could be from that original "first generation" of Shichibukai like Crocodile. They're both in the same age range (Mihawk a smidge younger than Croc and Moria a smidge older) and both were also present at Roger's execution (of course so was Doflamingo and he got his position only like 10 years ago, so being at the execution doesn't mean that much) so it is fairly plausible, they do fit the bill.

If Moria and Mihawk were from that "original generation of Shichibukai" then that would leave us with just a minimum of four "missing warlords" for Oda to reveal (and I'm sure Mr Burns, whose position went to Kuma after Ace kicked their ass, is one of them). Not that I'd mind if there were more, I just don't really need more either.

Thing is though. If Crocodile, Mihawk and Moria were all from that "first generation" of Shichibukai... Okay I know this sounds stupid as hell but as a trio, I think those three in particular could be kind of comparable to Luffy-Law-Kid, right. 'Cause you got the Crocodad, the Reasonable Swordsman, and the Angy Edgelord. Right. Like they are kind of comparable in that sense, right.

I think it'd be kind of cute. If Croc-Hawk-Moria were the Luffy-Law-Kid Disaster Trio of their era. And yeah that alone kind of makes me wish they were Warlords Together, From The Begining

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Point is that I want Shichibukai Lore. Oda please #I am absolutely convinced the Burn Scar Man is the Shichibukai Ace beat up though (AND a fishman called Davy Jones)#So sooner or later someone is gonna go fight that guy to get the final Road Poneglyph from him and once that's done like #The fuck is he gonna do?#Oh hey looks like Cross Guild is recruiting more former Warlords why not go join them? 👀#(They have an opening for a fishman for that Romancing SaGa 2 comparison and god knows Jinbei ain't joining)#Anyway yeah if/when we get to see Mr Burns I'm pretty sure we might get some Shichibukai Lore #Either that or with Crocodile's eventual flashback. It's one or the other. The beans will be spilled eventually.

anyways no one asked but here's lil descriptions of my one piece s/i's relationship(s) with a few characters (might make a part two)

crocodile <- her ex. she dated him before gaining her devil fruit abilities. she hates him (she's still in love with him). he doesn't think they ever broke up lmao??? so he's still very sweet on her. she named a stray cat after him... yeah she is so over him can't you tell 🙄 (he's not happy about a cat being named after him btw)

mihawk <- queer platonic relationship. not romance. not friendship. but a secret third thing. they flirt whenever they're around each other. either that or she's driving him insane <3 others see their relationship as a "will they? won't they? 👀" sort of situation but it's never going to become something more (aka romantic) bc they're happy with the intimacy they already have. he gifted her a sword, she named it Luna (moon) to match his sword Yoru (night). so they have matching swords. he teaches her how to wield a sword when he can (at least the basics anyway) he's one out of two people who started calling her "Snake Eyes" bc of her devil fruit abilities.

buggy <- bestie! bestie! bestie! he gives her makeovers. does her makeup. paints her nails. they get into SO much trouble together. he hides behind her from crocodile and mihawk when he screws up bc he knows they won't hurt her and she won't let them hurt him.

smoker <- he has a crush on her even tho he'd never admit it. she flirts with him and blows him kisses to distract him to help her crew (the straw hats) escape. she enjoys seeing him get flustered. and she respects the fact he isn't afraid to stand up to his superiors/the world government.

shanks <- as of right now she feels kinda neutral about him. she doesn't dislike him but she doesn't really like him either. that may change with time. BUT he does like her, maybe not a full-on crush, but he does find her cute and has flirted with her once or twice. he calls her "Lady Luck" bc of her devil fruit abilities.

sanji <- she was a little overwhelmed (flustered) when they first met bc of his flirty nature, but over time, she realized that's just how he is and got used to it. now they're close friends. she helps him cook/bake (really, he teaches her how to cook/bake) she's better at baking, or at least she finds it more fun. he also helps her flirt (aka they throw bad pick-up lines off of each other and see which ones are the worst)

zoro <- nap buddy. he lets her watch him work out bc he enjoys her quiet. also occasionally tries to get her to work out with him (she hates it) the second person who started calling her "Snake Eyes" (well, technically the first) bc of her devil fruit abilities. he brought her to a bar once where after a few drinks he decided to try his luck at some card game. he kept losing. 100% blames her devil fruit abilities bc he's not THAT bad. it's a 50/50 chance whether or not he's actually that bad or it was her devil fruit abilities. he started calling her "Snake Eyes" after that incident tho.

will never shut up about how much I love the development where Mihawk and Crocodile joining hands together. it's like one of those things in fiction where you wished two unrelated characters who don't know each other personally to somehow be best friends but you know that wouldn't happen so you brushed that wish off, then it actually happened and you never expected that?? getting really excited to see more of their dynamics in the future episodes.

(I just blabber below this point btw.)

I like how both Mihawk and Crocodile don't seem to be the type to be greedy about authority or the type to be egoistical. they literally co-founded Cross Guild together and none of them is the supreme boss cause both of them are the masterminds. I also think one the reasons why Crocodile asked Mihawk especially for this project is because he knew Mihawk doesn't really aim for anything but just wanted to retain his peaceful life, and because he knew Mihawk is more powerful than him and he needs the forces.

I'm sure Mihawk himself aware of this but he's not acting like he's "higher" than Crocodile, and as much as we know, Crocodile isn't pulling any funny business with Mihawk either. they're respecting each other's opinions and that's quite a rare sight for two big timers who are used to work on their own rules.

in conclusion, I love them both as a team.

(also yes with Buggy too lmfao he's an additional spice)

Cross Guild Romance fic idea: It's a quiet day at Karai Bari so Mihawk decides to go do a bit of exploring since he's perpetually bored. He goes for a walk in the woods and sees this really lovely red and black flower he'd never seen before, but when he goes to take a smell, the flower shoots this red dust into his face and all coherent thought and sense leave him. Buggy and Crocodile come out when there are reports of the forest literally shaking and Mihawk can't be found anywhere. Together they go into the woods and are stunned to find Mihawk has gone completely feral. Crocodile is the one who recognizes the flower, as it can be found in Alabasta and comes with it's own warning. It's this lust inducing rose everyone tries to steer clear of because of how highly powerful its pollen is and that it could literally cause death if the person hit with it doesn't get down and dirty fast or takes the special antidote that exists to combat the pollen. Before Crocodile can stop him though, Buggy rushes right to Mihawk and starts taking his clothes off, offering himself to Mihawk without hesitation. Mihawk thankfully accepts, and then Crocodile joins in because holy crap do Mihawk and Buggy look good together. Both Buggy and Crocodile get to experience how much of an absolute beast Mihawk really is and come to realize just how much the man is disciplined keeping himself and his power under control. Once the danger passes, Mihawk is mortified and withdraws from everyone. He actually tries to leave the island in despair, but Buggy and Crocodile aren't going to allow that and mean to keep their hawk-eyed swordsman.

Buggy not even hesitated when doing that, once he heard life or death situation for this, he probably yelled at Crocodile to tell him what Mihawk needs to live. Then Crocodile saying what he needs, which is either the antidote or banging, well the Kari Bari Island definitely don't have the antidote so the next best thing 👍

Then Crocodile joining in because of how good they look together sounds just like him, I think. Some reason this part made me laugh and I don't know why.

Oh no, Mihawk he didn't do anything wrong, it's not his fault at all and all people in involve were more than okay to do that with him. You know Buggy is clinging to Mihawk's back when he's trying to leave. The clown will be holding onto dear life and wailing that he doesn't want Mihawk to go, and Crocodile might also have a fit, not a crying one but one that's like 'Oh really? You want to go?... How about fucking no!?' So Mihawk knows even if he got off the island, he doubts that they won't come after him themselves and with the clown already clung to his back, he can't go anywhere.

I LOVE YOUR FIC CHANGES!!!!! I HOPE YOU UPDATE SOON!!!!!

THANK U BBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. ILY MUAH. I was updating like every day but then i got my period... i mean i fell into a pit of darkness and didn't have the energy to climb out. How bizarre. ANYWAYS, HERE'S YOUR FOOD.

Title: Changes Ch: 5/?

Rating: M (I'm just putting that as the rating in general for every ch lol)

Word count:2291

Warnings: Depressed clown :(

Chapter excerpt:

"Mihawk keeps asking about you," Mohji announces all of a sudden, "He keeps asking if you're okay and if your illness is something serious." Hawkeye keeps asking about him… Why? To know if he's died yet? What a joke! That man doesn't care about Buggy, why is he even wasting his breath asking about him? "I just keep telling him that you have the flu, and he's always like, 'Ah…is that so? Tell him I hope he feels better.' Isn't that…ridiculous?!" Yeah, that is rather ridiculous. Buggy has a hard time believing that Mihawk is genuinely concerned about him, but at the same time, he can't imagine why he'd just pretend to care either. It's weird.

|Ch1|Ch2|Ch3|Ch4|

The next several days are on an endless loop for Buggy. He stays in bed all day, unwilling to come face to face with Mihawk after his little drunken rant from days prior, afraid of what Mihawk will say to him now that he's completely sober. So, he stays in bed, either sleeping or lost in thought. He should be preparing men, supplies, and their new flagship for departure, but he can't bring himself to do it. At the very least he should be making sure everything on Emptee Bluffs Island is going smoothly, and yet… he doesn't care about that either.

Being in Cross Guild is so…exhausting.

Crocodile has called for meetings every single day, and every day, Buggy has one of his men lie and say he's sick. He's missed about 10 meetings now, he thinks. He can't remember, everything is starting to blend in together. All he knows is that sooner or later Crocodile is going to get pissed and come looking for him, and then what? Beat him up? Threaten him? Actually, kill him this time?

Man, who cares?

Cabaji, Mohji, and Richie, often come by and sit with him, usually overly worried about Buggy's well-being and not believing him when he says he's just sick or tired, but of course, Buggy always tells them that he's fine.

Today, they're with him again, sitting by his bed and trying to get him to eat some of the sea king the other members of the crew somehow caught and killed today. "Captain…" Mohji sighs, "Come on, at least take a couple of bites." He asks, but he sounds more like he's begging than asking. "You've hardly eaten anything these last few days." While that is very true, it's because Buggy doesn't have much of an appetite these days, nothing tastes right or really interests him, and god knows he doesn't have the energy to make his own food…just… he just wants to sleep.

Buggy sits in his bed, slightly peeved that Cabaji and Mohji insist he sit up in general, and looks down at the sea king on his plate. He's not normally a picky eater, you can't be picky when you've spent most of your life at sea, but… this thing reminds him eerily of a poison dart frog with its vibrant color and spots, yet at the same time, it's got fins and a body like a snake... He doubts his men would actually cook up something poisonous, they aren't that naive…but still, Buggy has no interest in this fish..frog…snake thing.

But if he did die from ingesting it…that'd just be his luck, wouldn't it? Death seems… inescapable at this point, and he often wonders just what or who will end up taking his life first. "I'm not hungry," Buggy repeats, but Mohji and Cabaji seem determined today.

"Just take a couple of bites, please, Captain?" Mohji practically begs, "Just a couple, it's actually really good!" Doubt it, Buggy thinks.

Cabaji follows suit, "Yeah, just take a couple of bites and if you don't like it, you don't have to eat the whole thing! We'll just feed the rest to Richie, right, Mohji?"

"Right!"

Buggy really doesn't want to eat anything, but he hates to make the other two worry, so he ends up taking a couple of bites of his lunch, and yeah, it isn't bad…it's one of the better-tasting sea kings that he's had, this one actually tastes like chicken despite its weird appearance, but Buggy still only eats a couple of bites, just enough to get the other two off his back and then hands Mohji his plate to give to Richie.

He wants to lie back down, but the others won't let him. "Um, Captain?" Cabaji calls out, seemingly a little nervous, "Uh, how about I run you a warm bath and…uh, How about I help you wash and brush your hair today?" Cabaji suggests with a small grin. Oh, yeah, basic needs are a thing. Man, Buggy really doesn't care about any of that stuff anymore, he's going to die anyways, so what's the point? He'll just ask one of his men to make him look nice for his funeral.

"Okay?" Cabaji asks, still smiling.

Buggy understands what this really is about. This is a very polite and roundabout way of telling him he needs to bathe, but none of his men would ever outright tell him he stinks so they have to use words like, 'Oh, how about I run you a bath and help you wash your hair today?' Or, 'Wow, you look like you need to relax…how about a nice bath?'

Whatever.

Buggy lets Cabaji run him a bath, and he sits and waits in bed while he prepares everything for him. He watches Richie eat his leftover sea king, and can't help but think how nice it'd be to be a lion, well, actually a cat. If reincarnation exists, he thinks he'd like to live a carefree life as a cat, a spoiled one too. Being a pirate isn't something he thinks he'd want to do again unless he could live a life with his old crew again, this time a happy one that isn't cut short, maybe then he'd be a pirate again... Or he could be a star in the sky, that'd be nice.

"Crocodile has asked about you too, but only once, and when I told him you had the flu, he rolled his eyes at me and went: 'Of course that dumb clown is sick.' And then walked away! I tell ya, I don't know what the others see in those two!" Mohji frowns, "They're so mean to you! I… I think if we all banned together then we could…you know…." He whispers the next part of his sentence, "Show them who's boss."

Honestly if Buggy thought he and or his crew had a chance against Mihawk and Crocodile, then he would have had both of them taken out a long time ago, but he knows even with an army of men, he couldn't take out one of his business partners, let alone both. It's a fun thought though, "Let's not waste our time," Buggy replies, exhaling a long, shaky sigh, "Besides, it's like I told you before, I can handle those two! Do you really think I'd let them beat and bully me?!"

Mohji just stares at him from his seat, obviously not convinced but he doesn't push the subject any further, and thank God for that.

Cabaji reappears a few moments after that, telling Buggy his bathwater is ready, and in all honesty, Buggy rather not do this, but he doesn't feel like hearing the other two complain either. He follows Cabaji into the bathroom and tells him he can at least bathe himself, and somewhere at the back of Buggy's mind he feels like he should feel more ashamed by the situation, but he doesn't. His former captain always told him that good friends don't judge you when you're at your lowest times and that they instead help you when no one else will, and so maybe that's why he has no guilt about letting Cabaji wash his hair. He'd do the same for him and then some. He and Mohji are more than just subordinates, they're friends, no, they're family, and honestly Buggy doesn't deserve either one of them.

As he washes Buggy's hair, Cabaji also tells Buggy that Mihawk keeps asking about him. Again, Buggy finds the idea of Mihawk asking all of Buggy’s crew about his well-being almost comical. Did the world’s strongest swordsman grow a heart? Ha, as if. Or maybe Buggy’s earlier suspicions are correct, maybe Mihawk’s waiting, hoping that Buggy’s ‘flu’ will take him out and that he won’t have to deal with him anymore, which honestly seems like a more realistic explanation for everything.

A hot bath and a nice relaxing hair wash later, and Buggy’s sitting on the small couch in his room, getting his hair brushed by Cabaji as he listens to both Mohji and Cabaji ramble on about this and that, and occasionally bicker over trivial things. It feels like his men are the only consistency in his life, but he wonders if there will be a day when even that changes. Maybe he’ll end up with so many men that their crew will seem more like an army than a family, then again maybe he won’t live to see the day when that’s actually a problem. And if that doesn’t happen, then maybe Mihawk will eventually end up replacing Buggy’s crew with a new, more efficient one that he hardly knows let alone can consider his family…who knows?

Now, as stated before, Buggy’s usual visitors consist of Mohji, Cabaji and Richie, but today Buggy finds himself getting an additional guest in his room. Sometime around late afternoon Alvida joins Buggy’s already boisterous company, and as soon as she realizes Buggy’s perfectly fine, she sighs at him,”I knew you weren’t sick.” she mutters as she has a seat on the couch next to him after Cabaji and Mohji fight over who’s spot she can take, “But oh well, you won’t believe what I just saw.” She says, grinning.

Hopefully, she saw Crocodile and Mihawk board a ship and sail as far away from the island as possible, never to return again, but that’s just not realistic, is it? “What did you see?” Buggy asks though he’s not particularly curious about her gossip today.

“Mihawk and Crocodile were fighting.”

“Crocodile and Mihawk bicker every once in a while, so what?”

“No, they were actually physically fighting earlier.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know but they were both heated,” Alvida claims, “I think they reached a draw, but they were fighting for a long time, half the island saw it.”

Despite claiming that he doesn’t care about either of the two, Buggy’s slightly curious about Mihawk and Crocodile’s altercation. Sure they’ve butt heads a couple of times in the past because Crocodile is so damn overbearing and of course, Mihawk doesn’t take being bossed around lightly, but they never get physical with things, it’s usually just threats of possible fights that don’t go anywhere. Maybe that was it, maybe Crocodile just got too controlling again, and Mihawk got tired of it. He did say he was tired of Crocodile’s shit the other day… Yeah, that’s got to be it…Because what else could it be???

…

A couple of more days go by after that, and Buggy’s still stuck in that same loop: Sleep. Overthink. Sleep. Overthink. Sleep. Overthink. Of course, there are brief things that break the cycle like Mohji and Cabaji checking on him and feeding him and making sure he’s being taken care of, but other than that, it’s just sleep, overthink, repeat. He just doesn’t see the point in getting out of bed every day when Mihawk and Crocodile are just going to make his life a living hell, or worse, end his miserable existence.

Despite all his stress though, there are times when his bedroom is rather comforting, he knows that it offers him no real protection from the outside world, but in his room he feels safe and like he’s miles away from all his problems even though they’re literally just right outside. He thinks he’s missed, hm…12 meetings now, maybe 13 …14? Who knows, he’s surprised that Crocodile is even still calling for them, or that he hasn’t come barging into his room to yank him out of his bed and beat him to death for ruining his perfect schedule.

Buggy doesn’t care about Cross Guild though (or for much of anything right now) he never has and he doubts he ever will. He’s perfectly fine just keeping himself locked away in his bedroom for as long as possible. Mohji will take care of the others and if he doesn’t, then Alvida will, and if she doesn’t, then Buggy’s sure that Crocodile and Mihawk will boss his men around, but they’re strong, spirited, and oblivious, they can handle anything.

Something breaks his seemingly endless depressive cycle by the time he’s missed 18 meetings…or was it 19?

One of his men comes into his room around midmorning, like always, and tells him that a meeting has been called… But today, Mihawk’s the one who’s called for the meeting apparently, and Buggy instantly tells his subordinate to tell Mihawk that he’s still under the weather and can’t go to the meeting, to which his subordinate replies, “He says it’s urgent, Chairman Buggy, and that if you can’t go to the meeting room, that he’ll bring the meeting here instead.”

That’s got to be the worst, no, actually, the second worst thing he’s been told in his entire life. Why? Why now? Why can’t Mihawk and Crocodile just hold their dumb meetings by themselves? It’s not like Buggy gets to make any decisions or his input matters, why does he have to leave his safe space and go see them?

((A/n: Hate how they didn't add ChouChou to the live-action or Richie. The idea that some of you might not know that Richie is a lion and you might think he's just some guy is funny though lol.))

One Piece 1059 was insane with info and questions.

And I have things to say about it.

Firstly, the reveal that Shakky was the Empress of Amazon Lily a while back is a surprise I should have seen coming. I love the implications of it, many of which I will get into.

The Seraphim Pacafistas seemingly being Lunarian child versions of Hancock and Mihawk is a very interesting concept, and opens the door to the very likely theory that there are AT LEAST 5 more modeled after the child versions of the other original Warlords, plus maybe newer ones like Law, Teach, and Weevil. (This would also mean a child Buggy Pacafista, which I hope gets wrecked with minimal effort because even with Lunarian powers he’s a joke.) Also, with the long running theory that Crocodile’s secret Ivankov has been keeping is that he is a trans man, seeing his child self could wind up proving things once and for all.

But what I really wonder with these Seraphim Pacafistas is if it was limited to just the Warlords. Perhaps they can recreate other pirate legends, and we might see a young Gol D. Roger Pacafista too… one who subsequently looks a lot like Ace, and Luffy might struggle to fight.

It’s hard to say if Teach would really get any use out of Hancock’s power, since it’s only ever worked if you’re attracted to her, but perhaps that’s a misdirection like the nature of Luffy’s fruit had been. It could be she actually has a Mythic Zoan type for Medusa or the like, and it could be applied to more than just those with romantic hearts but she’s only scratched the surface. Her sisters got snake-based Zoan fruits, it would make a certain amount of sense if her “Gorgon’s Curse” was more true than she realized.

Capturing Koby is a bold strategy for Blackbeard, perhaps he’ll try to turn him over to the Cross Guild to collect the bounty on him. That would put the lad in a position to meet Alvida again, and I look forward to the potential such a meeting holds.

However, the meatiest theories (and they are not my own, I am just sharing them here) have to do with Shakky. Characters having only one name is pretty common in this series (half the Straw Hats don’t have last names, for example), but it’s become my theory that Shakky is not simply just Shakky. Behold, former Kuja Empress:

Boa Shakuyaku

I know we give Oda a lot of shit for his “women have the same face” syndrome, but she and Hancock really do have a lot of similar features so I firmly do believe she could be Hancock’s mother.

Plus, the ages work well to support it with Shakky being 64 and Hancock being 31. Whether or not this means she’s also the mother of Marigold and Sandersonia is a bit more difficult to be confident about. But latent gigantism in people’s genetics happens pretty often in this world, so it’s not terribly farfetched.

With the revelation that Shakky was Kuja Empress comes the question of how she met Rayleigh, and I have a few theories on this too. Either they crossed paths while he was with Roger and she was leading the Kuja, or maybe... just maybe... after she had her daughter(s) from some other man and the Boa sisters were abducted, the two met on the hunt to find the girls and they hit it off while bringing the girls home once they had been liberated by Fisher Tiger? It’s hard to say if Rayleigh is Hancock’s father, and I’m not putting too much stock in that idea by comparison.

However. I have an even more out there theory that I think really ties some loose ends of the universe together and draws on real mythology in a way we know Oda loves to do. Shakky wasn’t just a pirate for the Kuja. She was part of a far more dangerous group:

The Rocks Pirates.

According to Greek mythology, during the time of the Trojan War the Amazons were lead by a queen named Penthesileia, who fought with a silver battle axe. While we have gotten next to no information about the Rocks Pirates outside of the most all-star alumni, how little they got along, and what a great battle taking them down at God Valley was, we do hear a few other names dropped for who was in this crew’s ranks. Shiki “the Golden Lion”, Captain John (whose treasure Buggy keeps wanting to find), Wang Zhi (Who apparently lost ownership of Fulla-Lead Island to Blackbeard thanks to the events of the Rocky Port Incident), and... “Silver Axe”. Now I may just be stretching so far you’d think I ate the Gum Gum Fruit, but that sounds like the epitaph of an Amazon Empress turned pirate. Even if it wasn’t Shakky herself, Oda seems like the type to use this as a way to reference obscure Greek mythology and say there was a Kuja Amazon in the Rocks Pirates, especially with the current Empress Boa Hancock having a Medusa related power.

So until further notice, I will believe that the Rocks Pirates included “Silver Axe” Boa Shakuyaku. And it would be a heck of a meet cute if she met Rayleigh while they were on opposites sides of the God Valley incident and hit it off really well in the aftermath. Speaking of whom, his name being Silvers Rayleigh would make it even better of a connection if she was “Silver Axe” Shakuyaku. Yet another reason for them to get along!

by... surprisingly popular demand (by which I mean more than one person actually told me to write it lol), some short BugHawkCroc smut thanks to that 1056 Cross Guild reveal

(featuring trans!croc because I believe that’s just canon)

“This is an alliance. I don’t work for you.”

“Sure,” Buggy drawled, leaning back in the pompous chair he’d made his underlings carry to the Big Top. “And who’s the Emperor here?”

Crocodile scowled, still unhappy about the way the newspapers had framed what happened. Technically, they weren’t wrong, it had been Buggy who’d disabled the marines’ new marvel of a weapon and turned it on them, but that had been pure, dumb luck. All three of them knew it.

Hoping for support, Crocodile turned his gaze to Hawkeye, who was staring back at him with the same intense gaze he always wore.

Crocodile had always hated it during warlord meetings. Just like the smirk he wore now.

“I don’t see your problem. Everyone knows there’s nothing like an Emperor’s reputation to keep pesky marines away from yourself in the New World.” Truly, he was mostly here because of circumstance, but Shanks would be so mad that after all these years, Mihawk had joined another emperor, and the weak brother who hated him at that. It was worth it just for that. “Besides, these other... benefits he suggested sound like a good deal.”

Buggy cackled like a madman as Crocodile gaped at Mihawk. Poor guy had been kicked out of the warlords before Buggy joined, and therefore had no idea this wasn’t their first encounter of this sort.

The world’s greatest swordsman had a thing for people who wouldn’t simply fall to his attacks, and while Buggy could attribute that to his devil fruit rather than any skill or haki, the result was the same.

And Mihawk made such a pretty picture on his knees, how was Buggy supposed to resist?

He was a pirate, a real one, through and through, and he’d never turn down a treasure laid out so readily for him. “Why don’t we show him what he’s missing out on?”

Crocodile could only watch as Mihawk situated himself in Buggy’s lap, languidly grinding their hips together as a hand trailed down his back until it was groping at his ass. Their lips met, and soon there were tongues involved.

Buggy clearly didn’t know the meaning of holding back or taking things slow, stripping Mihawk without any sense of patience or grace.

There was no finesse, but Mihawk responded in kind, quickly tearing off Buggy’s sash and pulling down his pants. He slid down to kneel between Buggy’s legs without having to be asked, but Buggy keened in pleasure and gripped at Mihawk’s short hair to guide him into taking as much of his dick into his mouth as possible.

Fuck. Why was this hot?

It was just a sloppy blowjob. Crocodile had seen better, without any clown inolved.

But nothing Crocodile had ever watched matched this pure, unadulterated desire. Buggy didn’t know how to hold back, he had no class, but in this moment, when he was looking down at Hawkeyes with all of that lust written right onto his face, Crocodile wanted those eyes to look at him with that same open desire.

He could feel his cheeks heat up at the thought, and worse, his underwear was getting uncomfortably wet.

...Maybe he should see this as a benefit to their alliance.

Seeing as he’d already been invited, Crocodily shrugged off his coat and stepped closer, though he wasn’t quite sure where to fit himself.

A gloved hand carressed his face without either of the two men even looking at him, a thumb tracing over the scar on his face. The touch was gentle, almost sweet, not at all what Crocodile wanted, but he still let it happen for a few torturous seconds until Buggy finally looked at him, pupils blown wide.

Yes. That was the exact look Crocodile wanted on him. A shudder ran down his spine. Now the touches just needed to match.

“See?” Buggy grinned. It was obnoxious, over the top, the smile of a winner who couldn’t help but lord it over everyone he’d won against. “Now you wanna join. Call me your Emperor and I’ll let you have a seat on my lap.”

Seriously? Crocodile grit his teeth, but the hand on his faced trailed lower, thumb now brushing over his lips.

Crocodile had half a mind to bite it off, though with the clown’s weird devil fruit, he might just end up with a floating thumb in his mouth. Possibly not the best idea.

As he stalled, Mihawk only sped up his efforts, and Buggy’s attention turned back to him, moaning out his appreciation with abandon. Mihawk reached down to his own crotch, but his hand was slapped away by the one that had previously been in Mihawk’s hair, and Buggy set to stroking Mihawk’s cock, quick and sloppy, until Mihawk came with a deep groan.

Buggy followed soon after, thrusting into Mihawk’s mouth with abandon, moans reaching an octave no human should be capable of.

As cum slowly dribbled down into Mihawk’s immaculate facial hair, Crocodile had to wonder if he’d missed his chance. Somehow, that felt even more annoying than giving into Buggy’s unreasonable demands.

“So is it my turn now?” Buggy only looked at him, eyebrows raised, as if posing the question back at him. “...My Emperor?”

Buggy practically purred at the words, and suddenly a hand at Crocodile’s back was pushing him forward, right into Buggy’s lap. For how blissed out he looked, Buggy was still quick at tearing off Crocodile’s layers of clothing. For a second, Crocodile tensed when it was his underwear being pulled off - he hadn’t ever seen a need of informing any of his fellow warlords of his genitals - but Buggy didn’t even look surprised, nothing about his appreciative gaze changed as he took in all of Crocodile, from his obvious top surgery scars to the dripping pussy between his legs.

“Now that’s a feast in form of a man if I’ve ever seen one.”

The tension dissipated basically instantly, and Crocodile felt free to grind down on Buggy. He’d gone soft after spilling down Hawkeye’s throat, but his thigh was good enough for the time being, and Crocodile had no doubt he’d get him hard again in no time.

Buggy’s cock would be inside of him soon, pleasurably stretching him out, and hell, maybe Mihawk’s too. For now, he’d made himself comfortable on one of the armrests, leaning against Buggy and fixating Crocodile with those strange eyes of his.

That wasn’t too bad, either. Crocodile didn’t mind an audience, and he knew if Buggy was actually good at anything, it was putting on a show.

This would be fun.
