Although more than twenty years had passed since they last met, how could Shanks forget the voice of such a familiar old friend? The two of them had grown up together aboard Captain Roger's ship.
Sure enough, when Shanks turned around, he saw Buggy's figure in the distance on the Cloud Bridge to the left. Buggy looked so astonished that he seemed ready to jump, and Shanks also cried out in surprise.
"Eh!!! Buggy..."
