"NO NO NO, STOP CLAPPING! NO! IT'S ALL WRONG!!" a clown who was dressed like a pirate yelled as he walked in, waving his arms around.
People stopped clapping, and the circus performers now looked nervous.
"Spotlight was late! You completely missed my entrance!!!"
The spotlight was then put on him when he gestured angrily for it.
"And where, oh where....was the dancing....lion?!" he demanded, walking up to a nervous looking person dressed in a lion costume.
"Hey! I know you, Binky, right?" Jeffy yelled, and the clown turned to look at him.
"Buggy," he corrected, "Buggy the clown! Buggy the flashy fool... Buggy the genius jester!"
"...," Sarah then remembered. He was that boy behind Gold Roger. The boy she admired. "B-Buggy?"
He then looked at her, "that's my name, doll face. Be sure you don't forget it," he then recognized her and smiled, ".....ah, burger girl. Now imagine seeing you here at my show. And you came..... willingly."
"Yeah, we're looking for Shanks, you know him?" Jeffy asked.
Buggy then frowned, "never heard of him," he lied.
And Sarah knew he was lying, "You're lying. Gold Roger was your captain. My father knew you—," chef Pee Pee held her back when she step toward Buggy. He bad feelings of this guy.
"Oh really, burger girl? Your father knew me? I've known a lot of people. How am I supposed to remember another nobody? If he's not part of my crew or my show. He won't be important enough to remember," he smirked noticing Pee Pee holding her back, "oooh let her go. I wanna see how this plays out. She won't be the first girl to be mad at me."
The other performers then laughed.
"HES NOT A NOBODY! He died trying to save your damn friend Shanks!" She teared up hurt that he called her father a nobody.
Buggy then took a step back. He looked in shock, realizing what this might mean, "....bring her backstage," Buggy then ordered his crew, "actually wait, I'll take her....bring her friends to the green room and make them UNCOMFORTABLE!!"
He grabbed hold of Sarah and pulled her into the back while his crew went for Jeffy and Chef Pee Pee.
"We need to have a little chat in private, BG."
Sarah looked back looking worried for her new friends and then he pulled her into the backstage room. She was now shaking nervously and backed away from him.
"......firstly....I'm no friend of Shanks. So....you need to tell me who your father was, because I'm guessing this all happened a long time ago. I haven't been near Shanks since I was 16. That was around 8 years ago now."
"...Rumpelstilskin Gold." She replied.
Buggy looked down sadly then and turned away from her. He felt sad now, remembering everything that happened.
"I saw you that day. I was going to try to comfort you...but Gold Roger stopped me. I'm sorry......for what happened to your dad. He was a good man."
"....how...how did it happen?" She teared up. "I heard people tell my mother that you...pushed Shanks...but Hook said you didn't."
Buggy then turned back to face her. He looked a little mad, but mostly hurt, "I did not lay a hand on your father.....I know I was blamed, but at least Hook stood by me. But my captain....he never believed me. He thought his precious Shanks was a good, honest little boy. But no. Shanks JUMPED into that water and called for help so people would think I pushed him. Your father jumped in to save him. He wouldn't listen when I tried to stop him. He thought I was being mean not wanting Shanks to be saved, but I knew Shanks couldn't be trusted!"
"....why did he jump? You obviously knew something to stop my father."
"Don't you get it, Shanks just wanted to set me up and trick your father, I don't know why. I just knew whatever he was up to couldn't be good. And surprise surprise, red haired Shanks shows up two years later....he never drowned, obviously. We fought again once he came back and that's when I left Roger's crew."
"I heard he came back...which doesn't make sense. If he's alive then...what about my father...? If he died, Shanks would've too." Remembering and processing it made her overwhelmed that she stopped her words and broke down.
"Oh no, g*d no....I-I'm no good with crying women," Buggy panicked. He then sighed and went to her. Just to try and calm her down. He did feel bad for her, "I know it must be painful, having to relive it all again," he put his hand on her shoulder gently.
Sarah then threw her arms around him sobbing. "My father I don't know why, but he didn't like you. He and Gold never wanted me anywhere near you or you near me. I don't know why, but...I always admired you when Hook told me about you."
Buggy stood frozen for a moment, ".....your father....he was afraid. It was stupid and I heard Hook tell him it was stupid but...your father just couldn't shake the fear that you'd fall for me for some strange reason," he then awkwardly put his arms around her and held her, trying to comfort her.
Sarah gripped on him tightly, "I rather be your friend than Shanks. He gave me a bad vibe when I first saw him...," she shivered.
Buggy then smiled slightly, "you're good with vibes. I like you, burger girl. I think we could've been friends."
"...I'm...Sarah...Sarah Rumpel Gold."
He smiled wider, "I know who you are, Sarah Rumpel Gold....I heard them all talk about you. Your father loved you very much. He was trying to protect you by keeping you away from me."
"...," she dropped her head down, "I wish he didn't. You seem nice. Little stubborn, but mostly nice."
He shook his head, "I'm not all that nice. Life has made me kinda mean. But your father trusted Gold Roger and Shanks was always his favorite. He would do stuff all the time to cause fights and I always got blamed. I guess your dad figured I'd be a bad influence on you."
Sarah felt bad for him, so she kissed his cheek.
Buggy was surprised by this and he chuckled, "well....thank you, Sarah Rumpel Gold. It's good to see you're getting into the spirit of being a pirate. But let me show you how a pirate captain does it...," he lifted her chin with his gloved finger, leaned down and kissed her on the lips, "there. that's better."
Sarah was blushing red when he did that. She then pulled on his vest and kissed him again. And suddenly the door opened for it was Chef Pee Pee. Sarah panicked and acted scared, "Help! Pee Pee, he got onto me!"
"What?!" Pee Pee cried.
"Yeah, what?!" Buggy looked at Sarah, confused.
"Just....b-back away from her, okay? Leave her be!" Pee Pee stammered, shaking.
Buggy rolled his eyes, "relax! I'm not touching her! Look, you guys aren't even prisoners, you can leave."
"R-really?"
Buggy nodded, "yes really."
Chef Pee Pee looked at Sarah, "come on, we should go before he changes his mind."
She turned to him, "sorry," she mouthed. She then ran with Pee Pee.

"Hey guys I got this map!" Jeffy told them once they were outside of the tent. "I hope it's the grand line. Oh and Sarah," he throws a big bag of gold at her and she caught it, "I got a ship so take that to the Shit Ass Ship. You can't miss it."
"What the heck, Jeffy," she groaned lifting the bag.
They all headed to the ship, but then heard yelling behind them.
"Uh oh! The clown caught us!" Jeffy said seeing Buggy chasing them.
Chef Pee Pee was screaming as he ran for his life towards the docks. Jeffy seemed to be having fun with this.
"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE SHITS!!!" Buggy yelled angrily.
Buggy then jumped infront of Jeffy and growled at him. "Give it back!"
"Why?"
"BECAUSE I SAID SO!"
"Why?"
"BECAUSE ITS MINE!"
"Why?"
"ENOUGH GAMES! Give me my map back, or I will cut you!"
"You don't scare me, big nose!" Jeffy then yanked his pencil out of his nose, "I ate a devil's fruit." He then made grunting noises while waving his pencil around. Suddenly a weird deformed version of Jeffy appeared out of nowhere.
"Hahah! Mayonnaise!" 
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
Buggy just stared in disbelief, like he'd never seen anything like that before.
"What the hell are you, kid?!"
Chef Pee Pee hurried on board the ship with Sarah and he pointed to the other version of Jeffy.
"He has powers. That's good! We can get a head start while he beats up the clown!"
Sarah felt bad for Buggy. So she grabbed the bag of gold and ran from the ship back into town.
Buggy noticed so he broke apart, his top torso and up chased after her. Jeffy noticed. "Drawing Jeffy! Save Sarah!"
"Mayonnaise!" But suddenly he slipped into the water and disappeared.
"Awe man!" Jeffy then looked at Buggy's legs and then his pencil. "Wait a minute..."
Buggy's hand grabbed hold of Sarah and stopped her. She fell backwards and he was then leaning over her, but not on her because he was able to float.
"What are you doing, burger girl? What was all that about?? Were you trying to just distract me while your little friends robbed from me?!"
"I'm sorry I lied, but I didn't want anyone to—" suddenly he squirmed slightly.
Jeffy kicked him in his nut sack, "yay! Bulls-eye!"
"OW!!!!" Buggy fell onto his back, ".....somebody just kicked me in the nuts!" he growled angrily, "one of your buddies I expect. First you steal from me, and now your shithead friends are trying to stop me from having kids in the future!"
"Buggy, look I'm sorry, I wanna be your friend, but if anyone finds out...they will keep us separated...," she whispered.
"Don't run away, Mr clown!" Jeffy yelled, "we're just getting started!"
Buggy scowled hearing Jeffy shout that, he then floated up off the ground and turned to Sarah, "after what your little friend has done to me, and you've stolen my gold and map.....I think it's pretty safe to say we're not going to be friends. You only kissed me to stall for time so your buddies could escape."
Sarah felt guilty again.
"Wait you kissed him? Ewe, why'd you do that?" Jeffy asked.
"Aaaggghh SHUT UP, PENCIL NOSE!!" Buggy yelled and smacked Jeffy across the face, "be thankful you're only getting a slap! But if you don't give me back my map, it will be way more than a slap!" Buggy warned him. He then turned to Sarah, "and you, your kiss tasted like ketchup, burger girl. Make him give me back my map, it's the least you can do, I told you about your father!"
"...oh you mean this map? I don't even know what to do with it. So here," Jeffy tosses it to Buggy. "Might as well give him his gold too."
Sarah was about to set it down, but saw Jeffy running back to the docks. The bag then opened and there was nothing, but garbage.
"Ewe!" Sarah got grossed out.
Buggy smiled opening the map, but noticed it wasn't his map. It was a message that read, "you suck pee pee."
