I look barley through your shuggy rhaenicent ask because I don’t want to spoil myself but can you spoil me this much

Is shuggy really that deep? I kinda thought all of shanks ships are you know a little bit basic? Because shanks is not really a character to me. Does that change? Does shanks finally have something more to do? I’m in the middle of manga but you can vaguely spoil me this

Shanks is definitely a character with deep bonds!!! I know he doesn't seem like one and he's basically used as a mentor and figure for Luffy's character, but Shanks himself has a background and I honestly believe his relationship with Buggy to be pretty damn deep.

This has nothing to do with you, anon, since you aren't caught up!! But you just made me remember something and like-- I honestly can't understand why some people don't consider Shuggy's dynamic as something deep in canon. Like it is clear they had a deep bond and it is not hard to read between the lines to understand their characters and importance. A lot of people have told me they don't get Shuggy because "it is not that deep" but I truly can't see how it isn't deep.

Anyway!!! It is not much, anon, buuuuut we do get some more of Shanks and Buggy's story!! And it adds a lot to their characters, I think!!!
