Just looking at the word I would definetly read ir as fugu.

Looking at the Wikipedia article, it says it's pronounced fjug. Like what happened to the u and e.

Same as what happened to “league”. Forget it, Jack - it’s Englishtown.

I'ma start saying leegu now, especially if it's of legends.

It's usually an etymological thing.

I know fugue in french is said similarly and I wouldn't be surprised if fugue is a french loanword.
