⠀Scenario:⠀

A year has passed since the execution of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger. The noise that arose throughout the world rolled like a wave, causing the pirates to go wild with such enthusiasm that the peaceful people were forced to hold their breath in horror. The beginning of a new era was akin to a cannon shot: loud and scary. Going to sea became dangerous.

However, you had no other choice. Money did not grow on trees, it floated in the sea. You are a fisherman and the sea is your only breadwinner. So when, once again, going to an abandoned pier, you saw someone stealing your boat, it caused a storm of emotions in you. Who is this boy hanging a pirate flag?

⠀⠀Important plot points:⠀⠀

╭────── · · ୨୧ · · ──────╮

In canon, Buggy and Shanks were around 15-16 years old when Gol D. Roger was executed, but in this scenario, they are much older. I find it convenient to imagine their range between 19 and 22 years.
