Second Story

In this version, Buggy either finds a strange lantern or becomes the victim of some kind of quirk, magic, or curse.

I imagined the beginning of this story either on Luffy's ship or on some random island. It always seemed to me that Buggy is capable of unconsciously saving someone — for example, accidentally pushing a person out of danger without even realizing it. Perhaps it is exactly such an action that causes the lantern to appear.

Buggy emerges from a cloud of thick smoke.

In his hands is an ancient lantern with an unusual blue flame burning inside. Buggy himself looks much younger — around twenty-six years old. He seems slightly tired, nervous, and constantly on edge.

The lantern's main feature is that other versions of Buggy can appear from it at any moment. As time goes on, more and more of them begin to emerge.

They cannot move too far away from the lantern because they are connected to it. Technically, they are still the same person, simply divided into separate parts of his personality. While inside the lantern, they resemble souls; outside of it, they take on physical forms.

Young Buggy always keeps the lantern with him and never allows anyone else to touch it. He is the one who keeps all the other Buggies under control.

He serves as the voice of reason, logic, and common sense.

To him, the lantern is literally his heart and soul. Giving it to someone else would be almost the same as tearing out his own heart and placing it in another person's hands. Losing the lantern could lead to death or something even worse. Because of that, the lantern is perceived as a part of his body.

I even considered adding Buggy's real body somewhere nearby — motionless, as if asleep. Or perhaps making it a translucent ghost that no one could touch. But maybe that would be a bit too much.

Child Buggy

He embodies Buggy's inner child — everything bright, sincere, and kind that still remains within him.

This doesn't mean that he represents happiness or joy. All of the Buggies have their own emotions. Rather, each of them represents a different side of Buggy's personality.

Child Buggy behaves exactly like a child.

He craves attention, loves running, jumping, touching everything around him, and exploring the world. He's naive, trusting, and can easily burst into tears if someone hurts his feelings.

The other Buggies often try to silence him or ignore him. However, no matter how much they pretend he annoys them, they all still feel emotionally hurt whenever he suffers.

Most of the group's life energy is also stored within him.

And he's adorable. When he smiles, it's as if rays of sunlight are shining out of him. He wears orange clothing, just like he did in the flashback shown during Oden's story.

───

Teenager Buggy

Teenage Buggy looks like the most miserable of them all.

He is apathetic, withdrawn, and constantly carries a heavy burden of emotions inside himself. It doesn't take much to push him toward irritation, anger, or even a breakdown.

He often feels like crying, but he never does so in front of other people. Only inside the lantern, where nobody can see him.

To outsiders, he appears completely indifferent to everything around him. But the moment someone tries to get close, he either becomes hostile, snaps at them, or simply turns away.

Not only because he hates and distrusts everyone.

But also because he is convinced that nobody would understand him anyway.

And because he doesn't want to share what is hurting him. (Let's be honest — it's often difficult for all of us to talk about our feelings and share them with others.)

He remains alone with his problems, and talking to himself about them doesn't always help.

If you imagined him visually, there would constantly be a small gray rain cloud floating above his head.

He looks like sixteen-year-old Buggy — the Buggy from the day he parted ways with Shanks.

───

Adult Buggy

This version is the closest to the Buggy we know from Orange Town.

He is energetic, confident, and serves as a source of motivation for the others.

Maybe not the healthiest kind of motivation.

But motivation nonetheless.

He's like a sharp edge of aggression mixed with a slightly crazy smile.

He loves chaos, mocking his enemies, and openly enjoys the suffering of others. There is a lot of cruelty in him, but at the same time, he is usually the one who pushes the others forward.

───

Abnormal Buggy

Nobody touches this version.

And nobody wants to wake him up.

He appears as a dark, shapeless mass hidden somewhere deep inside the lantern.

At his core, he is not really a separate personality, but the embodiment of absolute rage.

Abnormal Buggy only appears when the real Buggy is pushed so far that he no longer understands what he is doing.

In those moments, reason, fear, and self-control disappear.

Only the desire to destroy remains.

Imagine Buggy awakening his Devil Fruit while simultaneously standing on the edge of a complete emotional breakdown.

Pure aggression.

Pure destruction.

♂️ and ♀️ Versions of Buggy

Here's another idea that exists purely for fun and awkward situations.

[ Yes! Entirely for sex jokes and hot scenes. :>

Shanks would be surprised and absolutely thrilled :D ]

And honestly, I really want to see an embarrassed and flustered Shanks.

For some reason, Buggy ends up splitting into a male and a female version of himself.

I imagined this either as the result of strange magic or as the effect of some mysterious place that nobody knows anything about.

In my head, this story usually takes place either on Shanks' ship or on an island where both crews happen to arrive at the same time.

The two crews dock in different places, so at first neither side realizes the other is there.

Tired of dealing with their crews, Shanks and Buggy both decide to take a walk alone.

Naturally, they run into each other.

At first, everything is relatively calm.

Then an argument starts.

Then come the usual teasing remarks.

And eventually it turns into a full-blown fight.

At some point, Buggy loses his footing and falls into the water near a strange waterfall.

The water isn't very deep.

At first, neither of them realizes that anything has happened at all.

And then...

BAM!

Two Buggies emerge from the water.

A man and a woman.

For several seconds, both simply stare at each other.

Then at their own hands.

Then back at each other.

And then they both start screaming at the same time.

The funniest part is that their personalities remain almost identical.

Both are hot-headed.

Both are proud.

Both love making scenes.

Both are convinced they're right.

So instead of calmly figuring out what happened, they immediately start looking for someone to blame.

And of course, that someone is Shanks.

At least according to them.

Together they accuse him of causing everything, not even letting him get a word in to defend himself.

Sometimes they briefly turn on each other, arguing or trying to prove their point.

But sooner or later they always return to the conclusion that everything is somehow Shanks' fault.

The female version of Buggy looks very similar to the original.

The same facial features.

The same expressions.

The same hair.

The same habits.

The only real difference is a more feminine figure.

I've always imagined her with a smaller chest. For some reason, it feels like it suits her personality and overall image better.

Though, if you remember Buggy's waist before the timeskip, plenty of women would have been jealous of him even before the transformation.

Meanwhile, Shanks is completely bewildered at first.

Then he starts carefully looking at both Buggies.

Then he realizes there are now two of them.

And that's exactly when the situation becomes much more dangerous for him.

Because the two Buggies quickly reach an unspoken agreement.

If they're both here at the same time, why not take advantage of it and mess with Shanks?

Purely for their own amusement.

They tease him, argue with him, interrupt each other, invade his personal space, and constantly test the limits of his patience.

Every new minute becomes a challenge for Shanks.

Especially because both Buggies know exactly which buttons to push.

It's as if they've formed a temporary alliance against a common enemy.

The worst part for Shanks is that both of them genuinely enjoy his reactions.

The more embarrassed, annoyed, or flustered he becomes, the more fun they're having.

Eventually, they manage to push him to his limit.

Because even Shanks' patience isn't endless.

By the way, both versions of Buggy are either wearing soaked clothes, or only the male version is, while the female version ends up without any clothes at all. (The way anime often does it — with her hair conveniently covering her chest.)

Neither of them tries to understand what happened at first. Instead, they immediately point at Shanks and start yelling:

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

Even if Shanks has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Also, if Shanks and Buggy were co-captains, I think the situation would be similar, except both Buggies would be even more persistent and shameless toward Shanks.

The two Buggies would silently agree to mess with him together.

Just to see the look on his face as they push him closer and closer to losing his composure. 🔞

I also had this idea about Buggy's twins ♂️♀️

God, imagine four kids on a ship.

Shanks, Shamrock, Buggy, and his twin sister.

If Shanks and Shamrock are Identical twins, then I would rather make Buggy's story about Fraternal twins.
