Description:

“On the day the captain was executed, we parted ways at Roguetown and we’ve never met since.”

Well, except for that one time, but Buggy hadn’t known that was Shanks he was kissing, so did it really count? And, wait, what’s this about another time? Shanks didn’t remember seeing Buggy again during those years, outside a wanted poster. Unless…

Notes:

A series that started out as a couple possible answers to the question of how Shanks and Buggy could meet up between Roguetown and that “we’ve never met since” conversation, without Shanks lying to Whitebeard about it.

It quickly became a “Shanks can lie to Whitebeard a little, as a treat” kind of story, with two East Blue encounters and a detailed look at what, exactly, might have happened between Chapter 580 (Buggy’s last appearance at Marineford, yelling at Shanks) and Chapter 593 (Buggy reuniting with his original crew).
