Summary
(Formerly uploaded in April of 2024) UPDATES 8-9am
The plan is simple: reconnect with Shanks and break his heart.
The problem is he doesn't fucking want to. He hasn't seen Red since Marineford, and the last thing he said to Red was "I hate you." Not exactly primed for a friendly reunion.Except for the letters. They've been coming in increasing frequency since the two last saw each other. The letters speak of a Red who misses Buggy, who wants him around. They make Buggy feel something--he loathes every single one.
He most certainly does not have them all memorized.

Shanks misses Blue. His crew have been trying to get him to shut up about him for years. It got worse after Marineford, until it became a running joke that every mention of Blue's name would earn a berry in the Buggy Jar.So, when Buggy shows up out of the blue, he's ecstatic. He's so happy he can't even question why his ex-best friend would show up after years without contact. When Buggy mentions the letters, though, Shanks is confused. Years of alcohol abuse have left him with memory loss, and he can't quite remember everything he's done.
Without answers, Shanks plays along. He'll do anything to keep his Blue around.
