Chapter 745 He understands me

...

Gel quietly looked at the clown man in front of him, who should also be a favored child of heaven, and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

Buggy and Shanks were both abandoned babies picked up by the Roger Pirates in the Valley of the Gods. They then sailed the sea with the Roger Pirates and were raised on the Ole Jackson. The two grew up together and were close friends like brothers.

For Buggy and Shanks, Roger is their captain and a father-like figure, while Rayleigh and a group of old crew members are like their parents.

But because Shanks is so outstanding, Buggy can only be overshadowed by him. Shanks has been loved by Captain Roger and everyone on the ship since he was a child, while Buggy can only attract the attention of adults by acting weird.

Shanks can wear Roger's straw hat and captain's hat together, and is often praised by Roger by being patted on the head, while Buggy can only hide behind and secretly envy him from afar!

However, Buggy's personality was not distorted by jealousy, nor did he hate Shanks because of it. On the contrary, he always regarded Shanks as his good brother, because he knew Shanks' excellence better than anyone else and recognized Shanks more than anyone else!

Except for swimming, Buggy feels that he is inferior to his good brother Shanks in every aspect!

Water battles, the only area where he can defeat his opponent, are naturally what Buggy is most proud of, so his dream since childhood is to hunt for treasures, especially the countless treasures buried in the deep sea!

He is very pragmatic, has clear goals and has been doing a series of preparatory work for this early on.

Buggy embezzled the treasure map and a devil fruit, and planned to sell the devil fruit after leaving Roger's pirate group, in exchange for 100 million berries as start-up capital to form his own pirate group.

But just when Buggy's beautiful life had just been planned, Shanks suddenly appeared and caused him to accidentally eat the Devil Fruit. From then on, he lost his proud water combat ability and became a landlubber. At that moment, Buggy's dream sank into the sea along with the treasure map!

Considering the importance of dreams to a pirate, it would be normal for Buggy and Shanks to become enemies and fight to the death, but he did not do that. Because compared with this brotherhood and Shanks' status as the excellent successor designated by Captain Roger, whom he regarded as his father, Buggy felt that his dream was not that important. So he finally chose to forgive Shanks amidst the curses.

However, Buggy, whose dream was shattered, never recovered from that setback. He gradually became decadent, and transformed from the high-spirited young man "Whitebeard" who dared to clamor for the blood of Whitebeard into a cowardly and useless person who was no different from a third-rate pirate.

Later, due to illness, he and Shanks were unable to follow the Roger Pirates to Raftel, but Buggy always remembered Captain Roger's regretful sigh after returning from the Final Island: "We came too early! I wonder who will find One Piece in the end!"

In the end, Roger disbanded the pirate group and voluntarily was arrested by the navy. Buggy and Red Hair witnessed the public execution of Captain Roger in Roger Town in the East China Sea and heard the deafening words of the captain before his death!

In Buggy's opinion, the treasure left by Captain Roger, who is regarded as a father, is not worthy of those small pirates! The position of Pirate King is not something that can be occupied by just any cat or dog! The one who can become Pirate King must be someone recognized by Captain Roger!

Buggy believes from the bottom of his heart that Shanks should inherit Captain Roger's will and then find the legendary treasure One Piece to make up for Captain Roger's last regret!

To this end, Buggy made up his mind, even at the cost of contradicting what he had said before, and planned to take the initiative to propose to join Shanks' pirate group. The two brothers would work together to fulfill Captain Roger's last wish and help Shanks become the "king" of the new era!

However, no one knows what Roger said to Shanks before his death. At this time, Shanks suddenly said that he had changed his mind and had no intention of looking for Raftel.

Buggy was completely confused when he heard this. He didn't understand why Shanks, the guy who had always been loved and trusted by Captain Roger, the person most valued by Captain Roger, and the one who inherited Captain Roger's hat and will, would choose to retreat at this moment?

Didn't you say you would definitely arrive at Raftelu on your own ship?

Aren't you the "king" of the new era that Captain Roger expected?

You are not...

Buggy was filled with mixed feelings, and in the end, only endless hatred remained in his heart: You coward! I really misjudged you! Shanks! You bastard who failed Captain Roger's expectations! From now on, you and I will never coexist!

So when Shanks reached out to invite Buggy to join his pirate group, Buggy flatly refused, and even used the old incident of "losing the treasure map" as an excuse to completely part ways with him!

After that, Buggy became completely decadent and began his "clown" life hiding in the East China Sea. It was not until more than 20 years later when Luffy appeared in front of him wearing the straw hat that Buggy once loved but now hated the most, and shouted out his dream slogan of becoming the Pirate King, that Buggy suddenly realized that those things that he thought he had let go of a long time ago, he actually had not been able to really let go from the beginning to the end!

So, he finally plucked up the courage to chase the straw hat to the Grand Line, and all the fetters and grudges entered the cycle again.

So in the world of the original track, when Buggy heard that the Four Emperors Red-Haired Shanks suddenly and loudly announced that he would join the battle for One Piece, he would feel so aggrieved that his emotions completely exploded. He ignored the beatings from Hawkeye and Crocodile and shouted those words hysterically.

We could have worked together to fulfill the captain's will! But you backed off! Just like when you lost your treasure map! You once again lost your direction in life!

Now, I have spent the past 20 years like a zombie, becoming a humble clown who can be spit on, beaten, humiliated, and even stepped on the head by others, and you said you want to start fighting for one piece! From Bucky's perspective, how can he let it go? What the hell did you do before? Do you deserve Captain Roger's treasure?

So it would be better for Captain Roger to fulfill his will himself rather than leave it to this bastard! Buggy finally expressed his dream of getting the top treasure, One Piece, and becoming the Pirate King!

...

"Bang bang bang!"

Seeing Captain Gul fall into deep thought again, looking at him with eyes that sometimes alternately showed admiration and sometimes regret, as if he was considering whether to kill him again, Bucky felt a chill on his back, and he kowtowed in haste to admit his mistake.

"Hey, this... that... I'm really sorry, did I speak a little too loudly just now?"

"I'm so sorry, Master Ger, I got too carried away! It's all because of that bastard Shanks. I get angry whenever I mention him, and I got a little excited for a moment!"

"No! Buggy, even though I don't like pirates either, I think you're right! Naive guys like Red-Haired Shanks don't even know what a pirate is!"

"Huh? This..."

I didn’t expect Captain Gul to be so good at providing emotional value. Bucky was so excited that for a moment he even had the illusion that “he understands me very well”.
