Shanks and Buggy knew each other since they were both raised by Gol D. Roger and his crew. Buggy said he would never join Shanks' crew. Years have passed since then.

Shanks spotted Buggy at an island and happily ran over to him. Mostly just excited to see him after a long time.

"Buggy! Long time no see! How have you been?!" Shanks had that stupid grin on his face.
