But now that I think about it, it's almost absurd.
When they meet again, without saying a word, they both pretend as if nothing had ever happened.
As if one had never wanted to run away with the other and leave the whole world behind.
As if the other had never spent a lifetime carrying disappointment and resentment because of him.
It's as though they both know that nothing can be changed anymore.
They've become two lives running on parallel roads.
Now, like drifting duckweed meeting by chance upon the water, all they can do is look at each other over a brimming cup of wine—just like they did when they were fifteen.
My local Vietnamese fandom had incredible discourses around this picture. Personally it reminded me of the poem Thủy Điệu Ca Đầu (水調歌頭) of Tô Thức (蘇軾):
"When did the bright moon first appear?
Raising my cup, I ask the boundless sky.
I wonder, in the celestial palace above,
What year this night belongs to.
I long to ride the clouds and soar aloft,
Yet fear those jade halls and crystal towers,
So lofty, cold, and desolate.
Dancing with my own clear shadow,
How could heaven compare with the human world?
.
The moon circles the crimson chambers,
Slips through silken windows,
And shines upon those far apart.
It has no resentment to us,
Why then is it brightest when loved ones are separated?
Human know sorrow and joy, parting and reunion;
The moon knows brightness and dimness, fullness and decline.
Nothing has ever remained perfect since ancient times.
"Q:If Shanks and Buggy started a crew together, would the members be a mix of the current Red-hair Pirates and Buggy Pirates?
A:There's absolutely no reason to recruit the scumbags from Buggy Pirates"
Me:🤬in canon Shanks protected, covered foods+drink+transportation for hundreds just because they're Buggy's followers.
Buggy's followers are just fresh-out-of-prison Pirates (and not all crimminals follow moral-code like Shanks)Even if they are obedient, the sheer number could have caused trouble. Even if there were no trouble, the cost of living until the safe point must have been big (none of them has a penny)
Like Shanks could have departed with only Buggy and let the Marine handle the rest of prisoners. But Buggy was like "You deceived me abt the treasure map! You have to compensate by covering me AND my men out of here!". Big Blue "Pretty Please" Buggy eyes worked too.
Co-captain AU, Shanks would let Buggy bring anyone along as long as their loyalty to Buggy is real. Of course they (and Buggy too) have to follow some rules Shanks set (like not harm civilians) but there are more things 🍶doesn't give a f^ck abt than you might expect.
Buggy had always thought Shanks' eyes were the color of dried blood, a deep red, but somehow that description never felt quite right. Then one day, while cooking, Buggy suddenly realized:
"It's molasses."
Shanks' eyes are dark, almost black at first glance, but sunlight gives them a reddish tint. They seem to melt whenever Shanks smiles, warm and rich, sweet at first but leaving behind a faint bitter aftertaste.

I wonder if Shanks didn't pretend to willingly go to Garling (or Roger failed to protect him when he was younger), he'd have been Domi Reversi like they did with Shuri. In another universe, Shanks killed Roger in front of Buggy 😭.
(It's 10000 miles of delulus under the cut + the last half i didn't post on Twitter)
In this AU, DR-ed Shanks quickly became the ideal Celestial Dragons knight &the only time he glitched was when something reminded him of Buggy & the time on Oro Jackson.
Buggy wanted to revenge Roger while trying for years to understand Shanks. Was it all an act? Did he hate us all?
We know Buggy, he's unexpectedly capable & lucky once he's determined enough. So a CrossGuild-like org might be found sooner, or CrossGuild + Revolutionary Army because the enemy of Buggy now is the Celestial Dragons.
"Why didn't u kill me?" That question still haunted Buggy, who only lived for vengeance for years. He had to hate Shanks. Focusing on the hatred was the only way to move forward.
Shanks - the next Pirate King in Buggy's dream vs Shanks - the monstrous Celestial Dragon that murdered his father. Buggy's brain hurted every time he tried to overlap those 2 images.
Shanks wounded Buggy, but not fatally."Did Shanks do it intentionally? Why...Did he still have some sentiment for me? No, Shanks just wanted to watch me like a miserable cockroach burning in rage trying to climb to his place in the sky to kill him. That's must be a Celestial Dragon twisted amusement."
Image them finally being face-to-face after years of pending up twisted feelings.
Before Buggy could ask "Why didn't you kill me", Shanks had already said "Please kill me"(because it's the only way out of Domi Reversi) while actively attacking Buggy. That's when Buggy realized something was deeply wrong.
To Shanks, everything was repressed to the depth of unconsciousness. Repeative nightmare of the day he hurted his most beloved people, the heavy feeling of guilt, the nauseous feeling of disgust sometimes churned inside his stomach when he witnessed how Celestial Dragons treated their slaves. He was suffocated without even realizing it (while still high-performing as always lol)
His brainwashed mind tried to justify his obsession with blue hair slaves:"That co-apprentice, he had this hair color too, we never got along, actually I never felt like I belonged there. Of course I must hated him. He was loud, greedy, a coward, always insulted and was angry with me without any reason. A typical filthy pirate. All i wanted was to get revenge, to humiliate him, make him pay for the time he dared to treat me as his equal. If only i get my hand on him..."
No matter how ridiculous his mental gymnastics sounded, it actually worked and motivated him to work hard to break down Buggy's anti-gov organization. He literally kicked Shamrock out of any mission involving Buggy, & jumped on any opportunity to go to the 'mortal world'.
Shamrock:"If i didn't know you, i would have thought you got some special feelings for that clown"
Shanks:"Don't ridicule me! I just want him to be my slave."
This didn't stop Shamrock from poking his nose into his brother's business though.
Shamrock: "I just want to see what masterpiece could almost break the power of Domi Reversi for several times."
Buggy:"WTF is Domi Reversi?"
Shamrock:"Conversion Therapy"
Conversion Therapy of Omnipotent Sky Daddy could make Shanks evil but couldn't make him be less gay for a certain clown though.
Anyway, all this misunderstanding ended once Buggy stabbed his knife in Shanks' heart. "He died with a smile" Tears was running down Buggy's face. He should be laughing. He has waited for this day for decades. But all he felt was an agony in his chest, as if the knife wasn't on Shanks' chest but his. Finally he heard himself crying out loud "Shanks, what have you done? Why did you make me do this?"
He laid his head on Shanks' chest. Blood smearing on his cheekbones, blending with makeup and tears. The heartbeat has gone but the warm was still there. Finally they could hug each other again. As how everything should be, before everything went wrong.
Then Buggy heard a heartbeat. Maybe it was his, maybe a Hallucination of an exhausted mind. But no, it repeated.
"How long do you intend to pretend to be the Shanks i knew?" Buggy wanted to say that bc Buggy hated how Shanks acted like nothing happened between them. Not that rainy day, not 20+years being separated. But Buggy didn't expose Shanks bc Buggy also wanted to stay young & foolish a bit longer.
The breakup with Buggy, the shattered dream, the Celestial Dragon mission, the lost through years, the responsibilities, the arm that was bet for a future. There's no way Shanks could stay the same person after all of that.
Maybe Shanks pretended still being the same person in front of Buggy or in those 20+years,🍶pretended to be someone else, not himself, but personas that everyone expects him to be.
