Chapter 2: Disbanded

Buggy & Shanks are waiting on the island's coast. They wait for their crew's arrival and want to know if they succeed to reach the final island or not. Well, Buggy know they succeed, but he won't ruin Shanks excitement by giving spoiler.

Then after some hours of waiting, they finally see a big ship from afar. The ship get closer and closer, until they can finally see it clearly. Buggy is very excited to see the legendary ship, Oro Jackson.

Soon, the ship finally reach the coast, and the crew look at Buggy & Shanks from the railings. After they drop the anchor, the crew come down from the ship. At the front, is the one and only, Gol D. Roger, and right behind him are Silvers Rayleigh, Scooper Gaban, and Kozuki Oden.

Buggy & Shanks are really excited to see them for different reason. But both of them have the same reaction. They run and jump to Roger excitedly. Buggy even climb to Roger's shoulder and sit there.

""CAPTAIN!""-Buggy & Shanks

"Hahahaha, you two are lively like usual, huh? Have you get better, Buggy?"-Roger

"Of course, i just have a fever for 3 days. That's why i told you to take me there, i'm healed fast."-Buggy

"3 days are long enough for a fever to get healed."-Crocus sweatdrop

"Ugh."-Buggy look away

"He also slept for a full day before his recovery."-Shanks

"SHUT UP, SHANKS! DON'T TELL THEM ABOUT THAT!"-Buggy

"See? If we take you on the journey, you will only get worse."-Rayleigh

"Tch."-Buggy

The crew didn't stay on the island for too long. They leave immediately after filling their supplies. The news of their success will spread soon, and the World Government will send Marine to hunt them down, so they need to leave.

The crew then sail away from the island. They celebrate their succeed to reach the island that no one have found for 800 years. They even wait to pick up Buggy & Shanks before having a grand celebration.

Buggy want to ask about the treasure that they've found on Laugh Tale, but decide not to. If he really want to know it, he will find it out on his own. That's what he has decided after all, to discover this world's mysteries by himself.

The crew have a big party for hours until they get wasted. Buggy really enjoy the party, as he never have a party like this. He always shy to be crazy in a party, but in here, everyone is crazy, so Buggy doesn't held back either and join their craziness.

The next day, news about Roger pirates' success spread all over the world. Those reporters are really fast at sniffing news. They just landed once on an island, and those reporters have found out about it already.

Now, Roger is throned as the Pirate King, who conquered Grandline. Of course this doesn't sit well with the Marine & World Government. They immediately send their mens to hunt Roger Pirates.

However, they won't be able to do it, because Roger disbanded his crew some days after that. The crew knew this will come, and they've prepared themselves, but it still saddened them. Even Buggy got saddened, because he also have old Buggy's memories, so he know the crew really well.

But then, they have a party, a farewell party for all of them. This will be their last moment together as a whole crew. They might never meet again in the future, so they need to enjoy this moment together.

"Captain, i have a request."-Buggy

"What is it, Buggy? It's so rare for you to ask like that."-Roger

"Can you give me autographs?"-Buggy take out a big stack of papers

"*pffftt* A-autographs?"-Roger spit his drink

"That's right, you're a Pirate King, so i'm sure your autographs will have high price."-Buggy grin

*BONK* Rayleigh knock Buggy's head

"OUCH!"-Buggy hold his head

"I thought you have changed after you get healed, but it seem i'm wrong."-Roger

"Buggy, he's a pirate, why would anyone want his autograph?"-Gaban

"Why wouldn't anyone want it? It's an autograph from the one and only Pirate King, the conqueror of sea. They'll want his autograph more than the most famous celebrity."-Buggy

"Sigh, is this your revenge because we don't take you to the last island?"-Rayleigh

"Who knows?"-Buggy look away

"Hahaha, fine, but i'll just give you 10."-Roger

"REALLY? YAHOOO!"-Buggy jump happily

"Sigh, you just changed from a treasure hunter to a businessman."-Rayleigh

"Haha, i need to use my brain too. Then, i also need 10 from Rayleigh-san, Gaban-san, & Oden-san. The three of you are iconic, so i'm sure it will sell well."-Buggy give papers to Rayleigh, Gaban, & Oden.

""Us too?""-Gaban, Rayleigh, Oden

"Of course."-Buggy give them a thumb up

"That's unfair, Buggy. What about us?"-Crocus protest

""THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT!""-The others also protest

"You guys are just extras, so why would anyone want it?"-Buggy

""E-extra?""-Everyone suddenly got depressed and slump to the floor

"HAHAHHAHA, I'M JOKING. Here, i've prepared it for you guys too. But this won't be very special like them. Hope you guys like it."-Buggy

Buggy take out some pieces of wide white cloths. Everyone else will have their autograph signed here. There's no paper this wide, so Buggy use some worn out sails that he patch up a little. But even if they're worn out, the crew get happy already, and start signing it.

"Where did you get an idea to use cloth for a lot of autographs like this?"-Shanks

"Well, i heard that there are some people that sign each other's clothes as memento, so they'll be able to remember their friends even when they're far apart."-Buggy

"Signing clothes?"-Shanks

"Ooh, that sounds good. GUYS! LET'S SIGN EACH OTHER'S CLOTHES TOO!"-Oden

""YEAAAHH!""-Crew

""Eh?""-Buggy, Shanks

Then, the farewell party turn into autograph party. Everyone enjoy it and they also start to use their marker to draw the other's face or belly. In the end, all of them turned into some kind of clowns.

"Thanks, Buggy, for giving this idea. We can have fun and have a unique memento for each other now."-Roger

"Well, i don't intend to go this far, but i guess it's fine."-Buggy

"Hahaha, you won't be able to predict what those guys will do."-Roger

"Yeah, that's for sure. ... Captain, i want to learn about haki."-Buggy

"Ooh, you've finally interested with it, huh? I thought you didn't need it because you just want to hunt treasure, and not interested in power."-Roger

"My priority changed. I couldn't went with you to the last island because i'm ill. I'm ill like that because i'm weak. When i'm ill, i realize that if i want to get any treasure that i want, i need to be strong. I can't get much if i'm weak, but i will have more options if i'm strong."-Buggy

"Now you understand it, that's good."-Roger smile

Roger then give Buggy a small black book.

"I wrote everything i know about haki in that book. I've teached Shanks myself, so he doesn't need it. You never want to train it before, so you need it. I can't teach you myself, so you need to learn it on your own. You can ask Rayleigh or the others before you leave the ship."-Roger

"Y-you wrote this for me?"-Buggy widen his eyes

"Haha, yeah, but i won't give it to you until you ask me."-Roger.

"THANK YOU, CAPTAIN! I WON'T DISAPPOINT YOU."-Buggy have cry and hug Roger

Roger just laugh and pat Buggy's head. Buggy is really happy now, because he never have someone that care so much of him like this since his parents as Bob died. Bob's parents died when he was 10 because of a car accident, and then he also died by a car, a truck to be precise.

He never had someone who care of him since that day. So now, knowing Roger wrote a book about haki just for him really make him happy. He might've only met Roger for some days since he become Buggy, but it didn't change the fact that Roger is really cared about him.

The next day, the crew reach an island where there's no Marine there. Roger leave the ship and bid farewell to his crew. Everyone in the crew 'did not cry', because Pirate King's crew will never cry.

After parting with Roger, they go to Wano to send Oden back. Buggy have talk to Oden in these few days and ask him if he need their help on Wano, but he always refuse. Buggy even say that the crew need to explore Wano at least once just so Oden will let them go to Wano, but he still refuse.

Buggy really want to help Oden because he know what will happen later. However, he can't do it himself, he is too weak now. He try to make the crew help Oden, but Oden himself doesn't want to be helped, and the crew respect his choice.

Buggy can't do anything now, so he will help Wano when he have the power to do so. He know he can't save Oden from death, but at least he'll be able to save what Oden want to protect, his country.

'I need to work hard and become strong as fast as i can. Knowing my friends will die without being able to do anything is really painfull.'-Buggy

They reach Wano after some days, and bid farewell to Oden. They all know that Wano is in bad condition and keep persuading Oden to let them help him, but Oden is very stubborn. The crew finally give up to respect Oden's choice.

They leave Wano and start to send the others home one by one. They avoid Marine on their way and never try to fight the Marines. They don't want to create any trouble after all.

As for Buggy, he will go to East Blue, while Shanks return to West Blue. Buggy know that Roger will be executed on Loguetown, East Blue, so he will wait there. East Blue is also a safe and good place to stay under the water. All Roger Pirates need to lay low after all.

They send Shanks first before sending Buggy to East Blue. They drop Buggy and some people who want to stay on East Blue at Loguetown. Rayleigh & Gaban gave Buggy their vivre card. He just need to follow it if he need their help in the future.

Buggy keep the vivre card on his backpack, then he leave. Buggy go to Loguetown to buy some necesstities first. Smoker haven't become a captain here, so this place is still peaceful for pirates.

Buggy plan to train on the mountain area on the other side of this island. So before he start his training he will buy some necessities in the town. He buy some clothes, foods, and other things.

Then Buggy go to the mountain and search for a good location. Then he find an abandoned shack, and decide to use it. This place just need some cleaning and it will be good to use as a temporary house.

Buggy then just clean and prepare the shack for that day. It takes a few hours to finish, because this place is really in a bad condition. He finish when it start to get dark, so he prepare a fire and cook his dinner which is just a roasted meat with light seasoning.

"The meat in this world never disappoint me so far. No wonder Luffy really like the meat and always crave for it. But i'm not good with seasoning, maybe i'll buy some mixed seasoning from now on."-Buggy

Buggy finish his dinner, then he sleep in his new shack. He sleep by setting a carpet and place his mattres on top of it. There's no bed on this shack, so he put a carpet under his mattres to avoid making it wet. Tomorrow, he will start a new day where he will train hard to be strong.
