Sounds of laughter and chatter fills the lively bar on an small island in the new world. Though at first tense when the newcomers were revealed to be the Red-haired pirates the locals soon relaxed a bit.
Ofcourse saying that they’re not scared is an great exaggeration but to say that they think the red-haired pirates will suddenly attack them out of no where is a stretch.
Now if you ask Remi why he- An Marine Cadet is sitting in an bar filled with pirates and other criminals , not to say an literal emperor of the sea. – He would claim that he is here only on an official information gathering business ,- which is definetly an lie-, You see its been an while since he visited this bar but he always had his eyes for the young Bartender who is definetly his type.
Anyways so now here he is, sitting half-hidden from the crowd. At the very least he is wearing his casual clothes so the chance’s of anyone noticing him as an Marine is small but never too small. Currently the Captain of the Red-Haired Pirates is sitting near the bar, Impressive amounts of empty bottle’s of beer sits discarded besides him, It seems he’s talking or well rambling- about his dreams but Remi isnt quite sure and Red-haired Shanks is probably also not sure if going by his current drunken state.
“All I wanted was to just sail with buggy”
And Hold up just a second, Rumi knows that longing tone ,- Afterall it’s the reason why he is here actually, Back at the marine’s whenever he spoke of his love for Genedieve his fellow Cadets jokes about his smitten tone he was apparantly using. And while back then he didn’t understand what they meant, he now Knows exactly what they meant.
And isnt this just great, The red haired shanks an Emperor of the sea and one of the most terrifying pirates out there is inlove with someone named Buggy.
Now Remi isnt dumb because the details that Shanks spilled made Remi come on one and only conclusion.
Buggy the clown, Currently also an Emperor and leader of the Cross Guild.
And isnt that news? “His lips taste’s like cherry’s and his blue hair glinsters soooo nice in the sunlight-” Okay can someone get their drunk captain whose acting like an smitten High school girl right now? Wait … His lips taste’s like cherries? That implies they kissed.
Yup - They’re definetly dating or at the very least intimate enough to be considerd. Probably a secret lovey dovey thingy, but if it is its probably the worst hidden secret ever. “Buggy accepted the golden ring ive gifted him, because he adores gold-------” rumi doesn’t bother listening to the rest of the Red haired Rambles. ‘ring’ Holy damn nevermind the dating thought theyre actually Lovers- they’re engaged and shit this is huge news, he needs to report this Remi thinks frantically and maybe he’ll get an promotion too for reporting this.
With that he left the bar in an hurry, Making his way back to his Lieutentant to share his new found knowledge.

Dracule Mihawk is what most describe an mysterious man that doesn’t wear his emotions on his sleeve, so if he freezes whilst reading the papers you know that something either caught his interest or its something worse.
Crocodiles takes the cigar from his mouth as he frowned “Something wrong Mihawk?” Not really an question more of an indirect demand to know what caught Mihawk’s attention.
By now Mihawks gaze is back to his usual indiffrence with a small hint of annoyance. “I suppose the clown Failed to mention some crucial information” Offering the newspaper to him.
Crocodile takes the Newspaper and doesn’t have to search much to know what Mihawk was talking about, After all it was printed in huge bold letters, And isnt that something? Because pray tell him why the Clown never mentioned his supposedly Engagement and out of Everyone it was Shanks.
“That damn clown” Crocodile grumbles at which Mihawk gave an simple nod in agreement.
Somewhere not so far away on the same island was Buggy standing infront of his followers who all are hanging on his words while he gave them his very very flashy speech, It was only after he finished his speech that one followers asked an question that he didn’t expect and left him speechless. “When will the wedding be?” which causes the other followers to perk up about their own question about the- wedding?
While they all shouts questions and congratulations, Buggy stood there and is just confused. Wedding? Engagement? What the fuck is going on.
All buggy knows is that he needs to figure out what the hell is going on right now so with that in mind he excused himself and quickly makes his way to his chambers.
There he finds an Newspaper clipping laying neatly placed on his bed alongside an note which said : “We need to talk – D. M & C”.
Buggy grabs the newpaper and- “AAAGHHHHh’ was heard throughout the whole of Karai Bari. “Stupid shanks” Buggy curses as he paced in his room. Tugging his hair in stress as the newspaper was shredded in pieces. “I swear when I find him-” Buggy wasn’t able to finish his sentence when an knock was heard from his chamber’s door.
Without waiting for permission the door opens and there stood Alvida, Her gaze lingered on the mess of Buggy’s room before sighing. “The red-Haired pirates fleet the red force was spotted near the bay.” She said a faint hint of amusement “Something about an wedding I presume-” She added before leaving buggy walking who knows where.
All buggy could do is curse an certain Red haired idiot As he tried to calm himself and prepare himself for the confrontation.

An crowd was gathered when the Red force finally arrived, Some of Buggy’s followers chatters excidetly with each other whilst others just stood there in awe, After all it isnt everyday you’ll meet an Emperor of the sea.
Red Haired Shanks is the first one to step off the ship, after him followed the rest of his crew. “I come here for Buggy” Shanks said his tone easy going yet an hint of demand. “SCREW YOU< YOU BASTARD!?” Shanks stoic face softens as an smile etched on his face while his eyes somehow lighten up?
The crowd watched stunned as their Leader and Captain, Buggy is basically strangling Shanks in front of them while Shanks just let out an laugh not a single hint of concern on his face.
It doesn’t help that the Red Haired pirates just act as if this is totally normal. As if their Captain isnt getting literally strangled infront of them by his Fiance???
Eventually pitying his captain Benn Beckman steps up and seperates them. “Now now lets not kill your fiance just yet-” He said monotonousley, At which Buggy sputters curses and something that sounds faintly like “We’re not engaged” but that couldn’t be it possibly, Afterall they do act like an old married couple the crowd thinks.
“Its probably because Buggy’s embarred- oh to be young and inlove again…” One Said as the rest of the crowd nodded. Yeah sounds reasonable. “We should totally prepare the wedding gifts” another said, And yeah that sounds reasonable enough too, the rest of the crowd nodded.
The crowd began to plan an perfect wedding while watching Buggy literally punch Shanks while shouting profanities…
Oh to be in love-
