Chapter 1: Overused Joke



Chapter 1: Overused Joke

A man is seen walking on the roadside while carrying a bag of groceries. He wear casual clothes and of course, mask to prevent COVID. He is Bob, 18 y.o, a fresh graduate from highschool. He was just on his way back home after buying some food ingredients.

Bob is about to cross the road, but the light turn red, so he stop. It will take a moment, so he open his phone and play with it. He open a video of his favourite anime, One Piece. He click the comment section, and find a comment that really irk him.

"This damn Lord Buggy jokes again, i'm sick of this. They overused this joke to the point where it's not funny anymore."-Bob

Even if he said that, Bob click the comment to read how the others respond. He doesn't like the joke, but he still read it and even bother to read people's reaction. The joke is like usual, about 'The Lord & Saviour' Buggy D. Clown is one of the strongest with God Usopp.

"Those shitheads are really pissing me off. I'll be a party pooper and cut their jokes on this comment section."-Bob grumble

"What are you on about, man?"-Random guy beside Bob

"Nothing, just an overused joke on the comment section that i really hate. I will put an end to this."-Bob

"Wow, you really take your time to bother about other people's joke rather than find your own joke."-Random guy

"Tsk, you won't understand."-Bob

"Yeah, i won't understand why you don't just leave it if you hate it. Just let people have their fun, and you can have yours. Enjoy your life, man!"-Random guy

Bob click his tongue and ignore the guy. Then he walk forward, and forget that he is waiting the light to turn green. The random guy realize this and try to stop Bob, but he's too late, because a truck is stopping Bob first by crashing to him.

Bob fly from the impact and slide 10 meters on the road. Bob's head was hit by the truck and also hit the road many times. He died immediately because of it and no one can help him.

~One Piece world, 1 Year before Great Pirate Era~

Buggy is seen sleeping in a room because he is ill. Then suddenly, he wake up and gape for air. He touch his body franctically like he want to make sure that he is fine.

"I- i'm fine? I'm sure i was hit by a truck and crash to the road. It was hurt as hell. M-maybe it was a dream?"-Buggy

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

Surprisingly, this is not Buggy, this is Bob is Buggy's body. Bob hasn't realized that he died in that world and transferred to this world. His soul enter little Buggy's body with unknown reason.

Bob then look around the room and he's sure that this is not his room. His room isn't made out of wood like this after all. So Bob trying to figure out where he is currently and check the room.

He see a small table with a cabinet, a plate of food, a glass of water & mirror on it, so he check it. Bob slide the cabinet and only find some clothes. Then he look at the mirror and he's stunned.

"What the f-"-Bob

"Oh, Buggy, you wake up. Did you feel better now?"-Shanks

Little Shanks suddenly enter the room and see Buggy standing in front of the mirror. Bob/Buggy turn his head robotically and see a red haired kid on the door. Bob/Buggy blink his eyes many times and then turn to look at the mirror again.

"Haha, what a nice dream."-Bob/Buggy's mouth twitching, and he faint

"BUGGY!"-Shanks

While he faint, Bob suddenly get all Buggy's memories in his dream. Buggy is 14 y.o now, and this is the time when he got sick before going to Laugh Tale. So he was left on this island and Shanks take care of him.

This is 2 days after they were left on this island. Buggy's condition also haven't turn better by now. Last night, his temperature was very high and he's really hurt. Buggy was on the verge of death, and suddenly Bob's soul enter his body, replacing the real Buggy.

"WHAT THE HELL, HOW COULD THAT HAPPEN? BUGGY ISN'T SUPPOSED TO DIE, SO DID I KILL HIM BY REPLACING HIS SOUL? FUCK!"-Bob

Bob feel guilty now because he just take over someone's body and possibly kill the owner. But Bob is also glad that he is alive after being crashed by a truck. He know if he survived that crash in that world, he will be crippled, so this is better.

"Still, why should i enter this guy's body of all people? Is it because i hate the joke about him being the strongest being? Come on, i hate the joke for being overused, i don't hate Buggy personally."-Bob weep

Bob feel bad for taking over someone else's body, even if it's Buggy. He prefer being reborn as a baby again and be himself rather than taking over someone's body if he reincarnated to another world.

"Sigh, what happenes has happened, i can't change it. I guess i can only live as Buggy now, and survive in this dangerous world."-Bob

Bob has accept his new identity as Buggy. Bob is a smart guy, so he know that he can't keep running away from problem and choose to accept and work on it. He feel bad for the guy, but he won't give this body back if it mean he will die. From today onwards, Bob will become Buggy, even if he don't like the nose.

When Bob accept his new self, a strange thing happen. His soul glow in silver light and his unconscious body also glow. Nothing really chanhe to his body, but his soul have change it's shape to be like Buggy's body. He has really turn into Buggy now.

"I am Buggy, i'm also Bob, but i'm not the old Buggy, i am myself. Bob have died, and i will live a new life as Buggy."-Buggy

He accept his new life and identity fast enough. The reason is, because he don't have any attachment on Earth. He is orphan, like Buggy, and don't have any relative. His life will be hard there, and this life might be hard too.

However, he have a big advantage in here, he have future knowledge. As long as he can get stronger, he can make his life easier. But will he make his life easier? He won't.

"If i want to live an easy life, i can find the most peaceful location to live. However, i won't do that, not when i finally live in this world. I am a One Piece fan, so i won't waste this chance. The thing that i really want to do if i live here, is to go all over the world. Maybe i'll change some event that i can change."-Buggy

As a One Piece fan, he really want to know just how big is this world. This world is full of mysteries, and he want to find out about it. Sure old Buggy have travel with Roger and discover many things, but he is not the old Buggy, so he want to see it for himself, this world mysteries.

To do all of that, Buggy know he need power. World Government hate when someone try to discover the world's mysteries, so they will hunt him down. To protect himseld from them, he need to be very strong.

"I can team up with Shanks, as he will be an Emperor, but i want to be a captain & have my own crew too. If i don't become a captain, i can't pick the destination and just follow the captain, no way."-Buggy

Buggy decide to have his own crew rather than joining Shanks. As to make Shanks his Vice-Captain, that's impossible. From Buggy's memories, he know Shanks want to lead his own crew like Roger, and Shanks is as stubborn as Buggy.

"After this, Roger Pirates will be disbanded. 1 year later, Roger will be executed and the Great Pirate Era start. I guess i will train myself first before sailing and start my own journey."-Buggy

Buggy plan to start his journey when he's 17 y.o like Luffy. That will be 3 years from now, and he think that will be enough time for him to have decent power in Grandline. He will train hard, so that he will be able to protect himself & his crew.

From his memories, young Buggy is actually quite good. He was almost as strong as Shanks, altough he was rather coward. It seem the reason why he is weak in the future is because he stay on East Blue and didn't challenge himself on Grandline like Shanks.

"I will ask someone to teach me about haki before we go on separate ways. I will use these 3 years as best as i can."-Buggy

Buggy have set his current plan, he will think of the others later. He need to focus on the present first before the future. He will enjoy this new life, and not waste it at all.

One day after he faint, Buggy finally wake up and he has cured from his illness. Well, it's just a fever, a very bad fever that force him to stay on bed for days. Shanks suddenly enter the room with tray that have porridge and a glass of water on it.

"You've finally wake up, Buggy."-Shanks

"Yeah, sorry for making you worry. Oh, is that a porridge? Good timing, i'm hungry."-Buggy

Shanks is shocked to hear Buggy thanks him, and he drop the tray. The bowl & glass break and their content spilled.

"OI SHANKS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I WANT TO EAT THE PORRIDGE."-Buggy yell

Shanks ignore Buggy and touch Buggy's forehead.

"Hmm, it seem your fever have cured, but are you really fine?"-Shanks

"Huh? What do you- !! BASTARD, DID YOU THINK I'M BEING CRAZY?"-Buggy

"But you never thank me before, so i think you're still sick."-Shanks

"Guh, even i know how to show my gratitude, i've grown up and learn many things in my life."-Buggy

".... Are you really fine?"-Shanks

"I AM, SO STOP TOUCHING MY FOREHEAD DAMMIT!"-Buggy

"Okay, okay."-Shanks

Shanks stop touching Buggy's forehead and leave to take some cleaning tools. Buggy grumble while going to the kitchen to get the rest of the porridge.

"Damn Red Hair, no need to be so shocked by a thanks."-Buggy

Buggy eat the rest of the porridge, which is a lot, and he finish them all. But he's still hungry, so he eat the other foods too. When he finished, there's no food left on the kitchen anymore.

Shanks is surprised by this, but he think that it's because Buggy haven't eat for a day. Well, there's no problem with it, as Roger have gave them some money to buy anything they need. So they can always buy their food ingredients again.

It takes about a month for Roger Pirates to return from their journey to the last island. In this month, Shanks is really surprised by Buggy's change. Buggy keep training everyday, very different from his usual lazy self that only care about treasures.

Nothing much happened in this 1 month. Buggy just adapting with his new body and his devil fruit. He also wrote everything that he remember from One Piece anime & manga. He even wrote some theories that he remember that rather make sense to him.

When they're informed that Roger Pirate will arrive on the island today, Buggy is really excited. He have been waiting for this, to meet the legendary Roger pirates. Sure he have old Buggy's memories, but that's not him. He want to see the Pirate King's crew with his own eyes.
