[Shanks can't help but laugh at that. Gorgeous? Really? A part of him can't believe that Buggy called him that. And that's after losing an arm, the scars on his face, the weariness in his bones - Buggy must be the only person left in the world who finds him attractive.] Alright, alright. Don't be angry...

[For a clown he can be very fickle, and mercurial. It can't be good for his stress levels.]

You're my friend, Buggy. You're strong, dependable. Determined. You know when to put up a fight and when to call it quits. You have a sensitive side, and you think it makes you less than all these other pirates. It doesn't. It's your strength. You're a survivor. You should love yourself more, Buggy. I shouldn't love you more than you love you.
