I do not own One Piece !
Here's a theory about;
Subject: Shanks and Buggy as Japanese mythological beings.
Source/Inspiration: One Piece and wiki's list of Japanese Mythological beasts...
Theory: Look and behold! My crazy mind has actually DONE something! Or maybe not... Anyway. Anyone of you ever heard about a 'shojo'? It's a red haired and drinking loving sea spirit/monkey from Japan. Or the 'nukekubi', a vampire who's head detaches from it's neck and flies of to suck blood from victims? Doesn't those two remind you of some people we know?
And no, I don't mean that big, using-opera-as-a-weapon-Shojo-monkey-dude from the Jaya Arc. The 'shojo' is in OP much earlier than that!
In Shanks, that is. He got red hair, loves to drink and says that Lu was just like him when he was a kid. And the protagonist of One Piece is a monkey, so yeah. And Buggy is a nukekubi, just 'cause his head flies of, please shoot me for sprouting all this nonsense...
Review if you feel like it, then I'll have over 50 of them on just this crazy shit... _
And for all of you who read 'For you I will' (which I think not many read, but anyway!), the last chapter is on the way!
