[Grand Line: A certain town in a certain country]
"Only three weeks have passed since the war…""What are they thinking, doing this… So soon after almost losing their lives?"
Crocodile was reading today's newspaper, wondering why such a big risk was being taken and marveling at what Luffy had done.
"This must be part of some bigger plan… Or maybe it's just pure madness,"
said Daz Bones, who was standing next to him.
"Do you really think so, Daz?" Crocodile asked.
"Strawhat bears a deep scar. Do such wounds heal so easily?"
It seemed like Daz Bones was referring to more than just physical scars.
"Kuku… You're a tough one. Trying to say something, eh? My scars are completely healed. And to prove that, I'm planning on going back… To the good old New World…!! Will you join me?" Crocodile suggests to Daz Bones.
"But of course," he responded without hesitation.

Desert Island, West Blue:
In this place, known for its fierce winds that carried tons of sand around the clock, the only calm spot was an art store Rob had opened here long ago.
The art store was nothing less than a paradise for the locals, who weren't used to such a peaceful and pleasant place, making them feel like their souls were soaking in hot springs.
It could be said that every inhabitant of the desert island was at the art store at that moment, especially since today was a very special day. After all, it was the monthly release of the new chapters of One Piece manga.
Among the crowd was a particular boy, the ten-year-old Daz Bones, who stared at the manga page with excitement on his face.
'Oh my God! Sir Crocodile looks amazing, and my counterpart looks even cooler!'
'Are they finally heading to the second half of the Grand Line, called the New World?'
'Awesome! My counterpart agreed to go with Sir Crocodile! As expected from him—he's such a reliable subordinate.'
Young Daz Bones was greatly impressed by Crocodile. Even when he was very young and watching Crocodile was considered a villain as opposed to the protagonist, Daz admired him.
Now, seeing his counterpart choose to continue following Crocodile into the far more dangerous New World, Daz felt a surge of happiness.
'Is he referring to his scars that have healed already, with the death of Whitebeard, who was responsible for crushing his dream in the past? That's why he can enter the New World and try again?'
Daz placed his hand on his chin, thinking about what Crocodile might have meant in that moment.
…
Baterilla, inside the art store, the townsfolk occasionally glanced at the famous crew of the Pirate King, who were currently causing a commotion.
They laughed loudly, pointing at Buggy, who was usually known for his hot temper.
Even Shanks was laughing hard at that moment.
Unlike Buggy, Shanks was known for his kindness and calm demeanor.
After a while, even the people of Baterilla started laughing. After all, it was impossible not to laugh when the legendary Buggy appeared in a manga scene.

[Grand Line: A certain island]
"CAPTAIN BUGGY!!!"
"We searched for you everywhere!!"
"Since you were taken from us… We've been so worried, unable to sleep at night…!!" said Mohji, crying, though no one knew if he was truly emotional or just acting.
"We traveled East and West, enduring days of hardship, hoping to rescue you…!! Then suddenly, you went from being a prisoner in jail to appearing in the newspaper as a hero!!"
Just like Mohji, Cabaji was also crying, talking about their struggles in searching for Buggy.
Meanwhile, the lion Richie was thinking about eating some rice crackers.
"And this is what we thought, those of us who never stopped believing in you… Watch and weep, world!! This is our captain!!"
Hearing that, Buggy also began to cry.
"… Y… You guys…!! You really had that much faith in me…?!"
"Dammit!!! I've missed you guys!!!"
Buggy hugged them, crying along with them.
"Captain Buggy!!"
"… And here I was, thinking they had all abandoned him."
Alvida was confused by the scene.
•———•———•
"Hahahaha!! They're just acting! Isn't it obvious?"
Shanks wiped a tear that had formed from his hysterical laughter and said this.
"Hahaha!! But he's falling for it! He's even crying with them! Buggy is hilarious!" laughed Gaban in response.
"Even the lion Richie is faking it, only thinking about his stomach! Haha! What are Buggy pirates taking?!" laughed Momora, one of Roger's pirates.
"Cabaji and Mohji clearly abandoned Buggy when he was captured and thrown into Impel Down! Haha! Yet here they are, crying crocodile tears!" Rayleigh smiled as he said that.
"Hahaha! Even Alvida fell for their act…" Nozdon added.
"Wahahaha! I love this crew—it's like a traveling circus! It seems that Buggy in the manga is truly living the life of a real pirate."
Engaged with his crew, Roger also laughed, expressing his admiration for Buggy's team.
Buggy already knew that those fools were acting, so he cursed at them loudly.
"Damn those clownish scumbags! Just where did my foolish counterpart find them?!"
…
"Well, well, well, it seems something interesting is going to happen with your counterpart…"
At that moment, Rayleigh looked seriously at the final scene of the chapter, which had already caused quite a stir. After all, the crowd inside the art store had stopped laughing and were now focused on what was to come.
"Why is the World Government contacting Buggy?"
"That's really interesting…"
The scene showing a carrier bat delivering a letter to his counterpart from the government, which was first opened and read by Mister 3, caught Buggy's attention as well.
"What does it mean by 'the contents are outrageous'? Does the government want to arrest my counterpart and sent a letter to threaten him into surrendering?"
Buggy wondered.
"It could be the exact opposite. The government likes dealing with smart pirates, and they think your counterpart is one of them… Unfortunately for them, they don't know how wrong they are…"
No one knew if Shanks was mocking Buggy or praising him.
…
Roshwan Kingdom, South Blue:
In this snowy kingdom, inside the art store, the readers' reactions to the final scenes were similar to those in Baterilla.
'This is bad… Is my counterpart in danger by following the clown Buggy?'
'What a fool! Why didn't he follow Strawhat or the remnants of Whitebeard's pirates instead? Or at least return to his old boss! Oh, I'm so jealous of Daz Bones!'
'Why did he choose to join Buggy's circus of clowns?'
The boy Galdino expressed his frustration over his counterpart following Buggy instead of a stronger character.
Little did he know that Buggy's luck was stronger than any powerful figure, and even his old boss would eventually become subordinate to Buggy in the future!
…
Marineford:
"As expected, the government wants to restore balance between the three powers as soon as possible."
Moving on to the next chapter, Sengoku nodded after reading part of the Five Elders' discussion with each other.
"Could Buggy be one of the names nominated for the Shichibukai position? What qualifies him for that? Isn't this a joke?" Zephyr exclaimed.
"Buggy as a Shichibukai? Arara…!"
Even Kuzan couldn't hide his surprise.
"Why not? It seems Buggy somehow succeeded in taming the most dangerous prisoners from Impel Down and made them serve him… He doesn't need great personal strength to deserve the Shichibukai title. Plus, this step was likely taken by the government to control those specific prisoners through Buggy."
Sengoku gave a wise and convincing explanation for what he thought was the government's decision.
Hearing that, both Zephyr and Kuzan, as well as Borsalino and Tsuru, nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Sakazuki's expression grew darker.
"The real clowns in this manga aren't Buggy, but the Gorosei!" said Sakazuki sarcastically, prompting Sengoku to quickly shut him up.
"What are you saying, fool? Didn't they just save your hide from Roger a few days ago!?" Sengoku exclaimed angrily.
