was talking to @eastbluesaga about how buggy dresses and acts more like roger, and how shanks dresses and acts more like rayleigh. the parallels are so good! especially considering buggy's getting pushed into the limelight now as the series ends, and how shanks has been making moves more in the background like a dark horse (or a dark king, perhaps?) this entire time.
like, you'd want to compare shanks to roger at first, especially considering the straw hat legacy, but shanks seems to be aware that it's more his role to facilitate than to be in the light himself--a similar role i assume rayleigh took as first mate of the pirate king. conversely, buggy's being quickly propelled into an advantageous position that spotlights him as important--a key figure in all things, surprisingly like a king, even tho he never quite believed he could have that for himself (and then hid in the east blue, where his captain was born!!!).
them!!!

This is basically me asking for some self insert ship, but could I request a scenario where Shanks confesses his feelings to his female crush who is quite younger than him. But she doesn’t mind the gap whatsoever and has loved him all this time as well! Thank you, I love that red head, I wanna wife him up and have his babies haha(*´▽`*)
Self-Insert away boo! 💖💖
And that goes for everyone! Cannot explain to you how much it helps and gets me through the day between violent kiddos and angry parents! Think of those happy thoughts!
Anyway- babe below~ 
"Red Haired" Shanks
Tumblr media
It was obvious among the crew, you were off limits. Not just because of your young age, but due to how the captain seemed to stare longer at you than others with this almost disgusting like sparkle in his eyes and he how he went with anything you suggested. To say the least, the captain was head over heels for you. Too bad neither of you seemed to see that. 
Shanks would swear on his life he saw you as a young sibling to him, or maybe even similar to how he sees Luffy; whether it was to convince the others or himself, no one knew. In the end, it didn’t take long for you two to get closer as time went by.
It became apparent to him, in a drunk stupor, that perhaps he did have feelings for you, ones that weren’t as platonic as he liked to believe they were. You were pretty, kind, honest, you held great confidence in his decision making and was loyal without a doubt. So why did he feel so overwhelmed with guilt to like you? 
He mused that it was due to himself getting old, 39 wasn’t a bad number to be he supposed, but you are in your prime years and see the world much differently than he does, what can a man like him offer you? 
Moments like these reminded him of Rayleigh, whether that was good or bad he wasn’t one to question it. Taking another swig from him now empty bottle of whiskey, the man stood up (as graceful as a drunk man could) and made his way towards you. Only one way to find out, right? Drunk him was more courageous than he gave credit to-
Seeing your captain greet you in a drunken mess, made you giggle a bit. You couldn’t help but smile at him, with his red tinted cheeks and almost dopey like grin. He was more charming than you could imagine. Slumping himself against you the man began to ramble about his thoughts and feelings. This wasn’t new to you, as the man seemed to be more open after some drinks, so you listened with care. However, you choked on your own drink after his seemingly innocent question.
“You okay there? I was just wanting to know what’s so wrong with liking you. Is it really that wrong of me?”
You were sure the captain was out of it and decided to help him stand and make his way to his quarters for the night. Whatever he drank you would remind the others in the morning not to give it to him again. Once you two reached his bed and he crashed sideways on the mattress, he turned to face you once more.
“You look really pretty in the moonlight, ya know that?” His dopey grin returned as he tried to get a better look at your now embarrassed face. 
Smiling after a bit, you covered the man up and nodded at his words. “Thanks captain, you’re not so bad looking yourself.”
Giving him a kiss on his forehead with knowledge that he won’t remember this in the morning, you headed out to finish the night with the others. 
Laying in bed, in a daze of his own. Shanks touched his forehead before looking back at his hand. Maybe he did stand a chance after all.

Reading One Piece pt 302: True Freedom
Chapter 549
Thoughts:
- Alright, I KNOW it’s the last chapter in the arc, those are always good. Wrap it up and show me what’s next, Oda!
- Fpos/cs: “The House where Dr. Vegapunk was born” THAT Vegapunk? Damn, Franky sure found a location
- Impel Down, Level 4. I already said goodbye to that prison, come on
- oh, It’s Blackbeard and his team, just after a dose of the anti-poison antidote. They’ll be fine. Yaaaay.
- No but what are they doing here
- “Luck may decide who lives and who dies but whoever get scared first loses!” …this is extremely correct. Blackbeard says smart things. I’m sitting and stewing in indignant rage at that fact
- oh, Shiryu is HELPING them? I didn’t even notice he vanished
- “I welcome you. Looks like you’ll be a great ally for us!” “It’s obvious what the future holds for me here. I’ve been waiting to meet someone like you!” wow, new crew. This is bad news for us but hey, great for you guys!
- on the ship with prisoners
- Inazuma is out for now but he’ll be fine :)
- why is Ivankov’s head still that big
- Luffy and others are still crying after Bon, bless
- Buggy isn’t feeling it
- and for once, Luffy remains serious! Friend sacrificing themselves is a serious business! Straw Hats try to do it all the time but this the first time it worked out and Luffy saw! Don’t start a party now, Buggy!
- while Luffy and Buggy are dunking it out, Crocodile and Jimbei are having a civilized discussion :)
- (does Buggy and other prisoners even know they’re going to Marineford to fight like the whole Navy? Like, did they agree to that? I know Jimbei, Ivankov, Crocodile and Daz Bonez are very much up for fighting here but other prisoners may be not)
- “I thought only mermaids could talk to fish.” “Is it so strange for a fish-man to be on friendly terms with sea creatures?” Trans Jimbei Alert, you heard it here first, folks :D Anyway, I think Jimbei is on friendly terms with everyone, he has the vibes
- “It’s unusual for a fish-man to be on friendly terms with anyone. You must be an exception to your barbaric race.” First of all, what did I just say. Second of all, Crocodile, come on
- “I’ll take that as a compliment. You’re right! Fish-men are barbaric!” …huh?
- niece, Luffy and Jimbei like each other
- …Jimbei knows Arlong? Small world, huh
- LOL
- “Forgive me for not introducing myself sooner” Both Luffy and Buggy didn’t know Jimbei was a Warlord of The Sea, that’s hilarious :D
- “What Navy Headquarters!!!???” ah, that answers my earlier question
- Crocodile explains situation to everyone. I love how he just hangs around now
- “NOBODY TOLD US THAT!!!” yeah :D well, it’s not like you would stay in Impel Down if you knew so tough luck
- “Get off if you want.” “How can I! I’ll drown!” haha :D
- snail phone?
- “This is Navy HQs” “Hi. This is Luffy.” “DON’T INTRODUCE YOURSELF!!” :D
- anyway, Navy thinks Luffy and Buggy were leaders of the prison break!!!!
- I mean, Buggy caused a riot and Luffy caused, well, everything, but leaders? …Oh well, the point is that their bounties will go up!!! Party time
- wait, what
- “We initially dismissed you as a upstart… but we’ve since discovered that you once sailed with the Pirate King, Gold Roger… isn’t that right, Buggy The Clown?” !!!!!
- …ok, no, I actually knew this. Practically I was spoiled because I saw gifs from anime but TECHNICALLY I could figure it from first few chapters with Buggy! I mean, Rayleigh was in Buggy’s flashback for god’s sake, and we all know Rayleigh was Roger’s first mate!!! Oh, how theorists must have rejoiced back in the day (in 2008 I think. That’s soooo long ago, I need to lay down just to comprehend it)
- “WHAT!!??” haha :D
- “It has also come to light that you are the blood brother of “Red-Haired” Shanks, One of the four Emperors.” “WHAT!!??” blood brother? That I didn’t know. But of course they know each other, Buggy doesn’t like Shanks, he vocal enough about it
- “After this incident, we won’t underestimate you again.” no, please do underestimate him
- Luffy hung up :D bless this boy
- and just like that, Buggy the Clown steal the spotlight :D normal prisoners are so impressed
- “He has an impressive past.” “And yet he’s so weak.” “…” “So why do you play so dirty!!?” “There are a few rotten apples on every ship.” But Big Shot’s opinion is as low as ever :D
- and now Luffy drops the bomb of Knowing Rayleigh The Dark King :D what a good chapter, I just keep smiling
- oh no, Buggy is overthinking this
- me:  Buggy no
  Buggy: BUGGY YES
- oh god, he wants to attack Whitebeard
- and… he’s convincing prisoners that’s a good idea?
- HE DID CONVINCE THEM!!! Buggy, you’re so helpful, wow
- “I guess that’s settled.” And Luffy didn’t have to say a single word :D
- “Buggy seems to have a talent for leadership.” You know what, Jimbei, he does
- damn, what a nice chapt… ACE!! WE’RE WITH ACE!!!!
- “3 hours until the execution” that’s not good
- mini flashback!
- “Listen, Luffy! We have to live our lives without regrets! Someday we’ll go to sea and live however we want!”
