A small shuggy connection in One Piece Academy? When Uta transfers to their school as Luffy’s old childhood friend, she interacts with Buggy and they both don’t recognize each other. But there’s an extra panel of their interaction and after putting the above text into a translator basically the gist of what they’re saying is:
Buggy is just hyping himself up and Uta doesn’t actually know him. The implication here is that Uta heard Buggy’s name from Shanks, but she’s not exactly aware of who Buggy is or the context of their relationship. So did she overhear Shanks talking about Buggy or does he say Buggy’s name when he’s drunk? Does Shanks just randomly say Buggy’s name??
Anyways this means we might see shuggy in One Piece Academy…
