Surfacing [One Piece FF]

This story is a collection of scenes (mostly from Buggy's and Shanks' childhood and young teenage years), full of hurt Shanks, who's haunted by nightmares after being sexually abused, and Buggy dealing with his redhead's nightly terrors and odd behaviors throughout the day (not to mention his own insecurities).

Or: Shanks develops a lot of very unhealthy coping mechanisms, and it takes Buggy years to understand what has happened to his friend.

Some Shanks x Buggy in later chapters.

Feel free to read along or leave right away.
