"Remember this one flashy piece of advice if nothing else, you fools! NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES... NEVER LAY A HAND ON WHITEBEARD'S CREW!" A crewmate argues, "Your fame will sky rocket if you kill Flame-fist Ace here and now!" Buggy screams, "I SAID NO!" The crewmate persists, "What do you mean no!? This is our chance, captain!" Buggy, looking terrified, explains, "WHITEBEARD IS... AN ALMOST LEGENDARY MONSTER WHO, ALONE, FOUGHT AGAINST THE PIRATE KING ROGER TO A STANDSTILL! WITHOUT A DOUBT, HE'S THE WORLD'S STRONGEST PIRATE AS OF NOW! THE MAN CLOSEST TO ONE PIECE, YOU MIGHT SAY!" Alvida adds, "And if there's one thing Whitebeard doesn't forgive, it's the death of his crewmates! No matter what! That's the kind of man he is! You're pretty knowledgeable about him, aren't you..." Buggy replies, "Of course I am..." Page 13: Buggy looks serious as he says, "IN THE PAST... I'VE RUN ACROSS HIM HERE IN THE GRAND LINE...!" Ace fully wakes up and says, "Oh, so you know my pops?" The crew panics, "HE WOKE UP!" Ace looks around and says, "What's going on? Don't be shy, isn't this a party! Let's have some fun!" Buggy quickly changes his tune, laughing, "Ah, that's right! This IS a party!" Ace laughs, "So you know how to handle a drink or two, eh!? Gyahaha! Drink up, drink up!" Buggy joins in, "GYAHAHA!" Ace notices Richie the lion and says, "Oh, you guys have a lion? C'mere! Jump through this flaming ring!" Richie looks confused, "GRR!?" Buggy cheers him on, "JUMP, RICHIE! AHAHAHA!"
