the rest of him? oh. strung up in arlong park. now defunct, of course. he got tangled up with arlong just like we did, only he turned tail and ran when we reunited him with his body. he was supposed to help us in exchange, but i guess that was asking for too much. i wasn't there when luffy tangled with him the first time, but the blood was already bad between them.
well, if she's going to learn to steal from anyone, i'd ask nami to teach her. she fessed up to the knife without me asking, so she doesn't really have the makings of a good thief, honestly. but she's a good fish-gutter. the nasty stuff doesn't scare her, which is essential to be in the kitchen. is she staying with you?
( the buggy bomb, as it tends to be, is endlessly amusing to shanks. he may never tire of it. it brings back old memories, anyway, and he's always been a bit of a romantic sap. )
well, he wasn't exactly a clown then we were just children, apprentices to a great pirate captain
( no he will not be naming names. )
but buggy's always been confrontationally challenged, you could say at least when his own self-preservation is under threat he's never shied away from screaming at me for one thing or another
( which is to say: he's not surprised. between the two of them, shanks was always the brave one. still is, it seems. buggy loves a show and equally loves to shout, but when the tide turns against him, he's usually the first one out the door. )
it's better to be a fish-gutter than in the gutter if any human were to ever catch her stealing i won't always be able to keep my eye on her but she does have a room on my ship, however she wishes to use it
can't imagine him as anything other than a clown. but you must know him pretty well.
[ that is fondness he detects in your writing, you old shitty sap. ]
luffy's different. he follows the kind of code that no other pirate does. can't expect buggy, or really anyone, to live up to that, i suppose. i won't forgive him for leaving nami to arlong's mercy, though.
i'll tell her not to steal anymore. but she took my knife because i scared her. can't really blame her for wanting to defend herself.

i don't expect you to forgive him
we're still ... working things out ourselves
( "working" "things" "out" — it's complicated. )
i wish i could say i knew him better, but this is the first time we've seen or spoken to each other in 20 years or so
she's a good kid
i'll ask her to show me what she's learned when she gets back :)
