Red Nose

“Is this some kind of joke to you?” you demanded, walking up to the clown pirate. You shoved a finger in his face, pressing against his red nose. “Who put you up to this?”

“What are you…are you making fun of me?!” he screamed, looking up at your face. “You…you are making fun of me!”

“Like hell I am!” you shouted. You squeezed his nose and pulled. “I don’t know who you are but this isn’t funny!”

“Gah! Hey, wait! That’s my-” the pirate pulled away from you, muttering a string of curses. “What the hell is wrong with you! Do you go around squeezing everyone’s nose, or just mine!?”

“You’re the one making fun of me!” you yelled back.

“I don’t even know you!” 

You stopped for a moment. It was clear to you that the man was exasperated. Perhaps you had misjudged

“Wait…so you’re telling me…”

“I’m not making fun of anybody. My nose just looks like this!” he shouted, scowling at you. “You’re the one making fun of someone! And that someone is me!”

“I’ve never met anyone with a nose like mine,” you said, frowning skeptically at him. 

“Neither have I,” he said, returning a glare at you. 

You pinched your nose and pulled. “I’m not making fun of you,” you said. 

“Your nose is really like that?” he asked, getting in close to inspect your nose, and you looked at his. He poked at it, and you swatted his hand away.

“My nose is really like that! No need to poke it.”

“Mine too.”

“Woah! I always thought I was one of a kind!” you shouted with glee. It was nice to find someone else with the same features as you. Especially one that so many people made fun of. 

“Did we just become best friends?” he asked. 

“I think so!” You jumped in excitement. “Really leaned into the whole clown thing, huh?”

“Are you making fun of me now?”

“No! Just…” you hesitated for a moment, and then giggled. “Good for you for embracing it.”

“Might as well!” he said, standing proudly.

“I’ll keep that in mind.” You had always been embarrassed by your nose, but this guy seemed to be really confident about it. 

“You could join my crew,” he offered. “Nobody would make fun of you again if you were under my flag.”

You raised your eyebrow, skeptical of him. “And just what flag would that be?”

“You really don’t know?” he questioned. You could see you had really offended him, and you held back a smirk. 

“Nope.”

He held out a hand, and you took it. “Buggy the Clown,” he said, giving you a firm shake. 

“Buggy D. Clown?! Like the Yonko?!” 

You had always assumed the wanted poster had been a disguise the emperor wore for the picture. Not the actual appearance he had. 

“Keep your voice down!” he hissed, looking around frantically. “The last thing I need is the world government knowing I’m here.”

“Oh, right,” you lowered your voice and glanced around, but nobody paid you any mind. “Okay Mister Emperor. I’ve been looking for a new job. Your right hand would be a great upgrade from my current position.”

“Who said anything about a right hand?!?”
