As I stood in the era following Gol D. Roger's demise, inhabiting the role once held by Buggy, I found myself contemplating my next moves. Memories of Roger's execution and the conversation with Garp flashed through my mind, reminding me of the intertwined destinies that had brought me to this moment.
With a devil fruit granting me near-invulnerability and a knack for scheming, I knew I had the potential to carve out my own legend in this world. The events surrounding Roger's execution had stirred something within me, igniting a fire of ambition and determination.
"First things first," I mused, my thoughts drifting back to Roger's final moments. "I need a crew."
The memories of Roger's crew and their unwavering loyalty resonated within me, urging me to seek out companions who shared my vision. From Ace, the fiery young man with a legacy to uphold, to Foxy, the cunning trickster, I envisioned a crew that would be the envy of the seas.
"Hehehe," I chuckled to myself, the pieces of my plan falling into place. "This will be interesting."
But my ambitions didn't stop there. I needed a flagship, a vessel that would strike fear into the hearts of my enemies and awe into the minds of my allies. The memory of Roger's execution and the chaos it had wrought fueled my determination, driving me to pursue my goals with unwavering resolve.
"Kidnapping a baby seems like a good place to start," I grinned, recalling the conversation with Garp and the mention of Ace, Roger's unborn child.
Ten days later, as I stood before Dadan and her bandit group, my plan began to unfold. The events of Roger's execution and the disbandment of his crew lingered in the air, a reminder of the chaos that had gripped the world in the wake of his demise.
"Who are you, bastard?" Dadan demanded, her voice tinged with suspicion. "And what are you doing in my territory?"
Introducing myself as Buggy, I explained my intentions to take Ace—the child of Gol D. Roger—under my care. The memories of Roger's final request to Garp echoed in my mind, driving me to fulfill his wish and ensure the safety of his unborn child.
Surprised by my sudden appearance, Dadan and her group hesitated, allowing me to take Ace into my arms and make my escape. The echoes of Roger's execution and the turmoil it had unleashed reverberated through the forest, a reminder of the challenges that lay ahead.
As I vanished into the woods with Ace in tow, Dadan and her bandits sprang into action, determined to retrieve the kidnapped child at any cost. The events of Roger's execution and the disbandment of his crew had set the stage for a new chapter in the annals of piracy—one where I, armed with memories of my past life and a determination to forge my own destiny, would play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the seas.
