#same with shanks but it would probably be less impactful than with buggy

[not-an-anagram]

My personal take is that the most interesting was to write angst for Shanks as a character is to focus on the fact that he will never be the prophesied person who is going to change the world and he knows it. Conversely the most interesting way to write Buggy Andy is to focus on the fact that he believes he could never get to Laughtale on his own merit and he lost his only chance as a kid

#ignoring more recent chapters because I’m not completely caught up #one piece #I just think #I just think they’re neat #also notice I said the most interesting not the most in character way to write them #akagami no shanks #buggy the clown #shanks #buggy #I do ship them a lot #this ties into how I think buggy with future vision would be peak #someone who knows their own flaws and can literally see themselves failing but can’t stop their own fate #same with shanks but it would probably be less impactful than with buggy #they both seem like they reached a point and just stopped caring to continue growing #again current chapters excluded because I’m not fully caught up yet
