@Mugiwara Mark the most realistic way of him being the braviest in the sea is sacraficing himself to do something no other person would dream off doing but i doubt any of the strawhats would die (hopefully)
@@Blaze-hq4ox usopp will rescue sabo all by himself. He'll be fighting all the Marines and all three admirals by himself. This was all caught on camera and the whole world sees it
It’s a shame that Jango didn’t join buggy’s crew. His power fits with the circus theme and having a yonko crew made of a bunch of luffy’s enemies he faced along his jurney would be awesome
I'd love to see Buggy have a crew comprised of all the "weak" enemies Luffy defeats with low dif. Like Kuro, Don Krieg (fitting with his new underworld boss theme and using tricks), Wapol, Foxy, Caesar(both clowns), Brulee (circus funhouse mirrors), the Gifters (fitting his circus motif with animals and being gag characters, his first mate Mohji is a beast tamer) etc.
Luffy beat everyone low dif until crocodile. The only reason it was any kind of challenge was because of outside interference like being hypnotized or having his feet stuck in the ground
@@nathanmitchell8091 so according to you luffy beat katakuri low diff too coz he was paralysed by flampe 😐 I understand your point but lets just say mid or high diff.. low diff feels like one shot
An awakened chop chop fruit could be terrifying. If he could extend the ability to remove body parts to others, he'd be like Law without the specifics that Laws fruit needs to work
Or separate his body down to the atomic levels and become immune to almost everything. wield this atomic sized parts towards inside to his opponent (because they are so small they can get through skin cells) and assemble them in order to make a huge internal damage on opponent's vital organs.
theory: Buggy isn't actually immune to cuts, he splits himself where the cut would be, making him extremely skilled with his fruit, impressing the government on the war when he fought Mihawk
That was my original thoughts on his devil fruit... It would be very interesting if it were so to me this seems the most likely theory in all of the little amount of comments I read
One of the many reasons why Buggy rose into the Emperor of the Seas is his underground connections. After the War of the Best, with a crew of heinous people in the entire One Piece world, his brotherly connection with Shanks, and him being one of the apprentices of Pirate King's crew, his power grew immensely without anyone noticing it-- especially in the underrated underground/ mafia setting in One Piece world where the likes of Capone Bege, Morgans, and Doflamingo were some of the players there. Now that the whole operation of Doflamingo a.k.a "Joker" is destroyed, the Buggy Delivery Service competes in the underground world now that we are near the endgame of the story. His previous title as Warlord sets the stage for his power to grow exponentially. While we are shocked by the news, it is natural, however (in my opinion) that his place is justified. It is refreshing to see that the power dynamics of the Emperors now do not focus on brute strength alone. He, being one of the 4 strongest pirates sets a new standard in the Yonkou system. Strength alone is not enough. (although it is necessary to continue because of stronger foes) Influence plays an important role now in the new saga of the pirate world. With the extent of the Buggy Delivery Service, and his established background as one of the apprentices in Roger's crew, more or less his influence became larger. In addition, a more extensive influence may equate to a larger territory since most of their transactions deal with the underground. While the likes of Whitebeard, Shanks, Blackbeard, Big Mom, and Luffy marked their territories with their flags, Buggy may have placed his territories under the facade of "trade" that his crew specializes in. And I think it is common that the place where your business operates is presumed to be under your influence or territory. Buggy is different from the three because he is the type of Yonkou that is more about "business." Thus, he may be perceived as the "weakest", but in terms of influence and power, both in money and politics and sorts of tactics, he really is in another league with Shanks and Luffy. And it is essential to note that Buggy now became the three words that embody Roger: wealth, power, and fame.
want it or not he was part of Roger crew. It is like having the name Bush or Clinton and going into politics. You may not reach top spot but you can easily reach any spots without even trying which is what Jeb and Hillary did. A random guy sweeping the floor would automatically become an idol if he was there during the golden era and part of the best crew ever. Check out Ringo Star, nothing special yet part of the greatest band of all times. Everybody knows him.
@Jean Bob Yes, it is true. However, unlike Rockstar or those in the example, Buggy did not spread that he was a member of the Roger Crew. It was later revealed in the story when he joined with Luffy and co during the Paramount War. And, his reaction was shocked because the Navy has this information. So, Buggy never intended to use the name of Roger in the first place. And only focused on amassing wealth or treasures. He could join Shanks but decided to went on his own treasure hunt.
Him and luffy got that same influence over people I absolutely agree with you crazy how the original four three of them were in the rock crew one was in the pirate king crew second set of Yonkos one came from white beard pirates and the other the pirate king crew then luffy who role model is red hair skank
I’d be willing to bet that buggy was always a monster level powerhouse but was fulfilling a destiny of being a signal of the new king of the pirates. Buggy has proven himself time and time again to be one of the most clever and resilient characters in the story. No matter the situation he is presented with buggy is able to retain or build a loyal crew. If we’re to assume that buggy was in east blue to find the greatest treasure of them all, maybe that treasure is the next pirate king. Buggy has shown 0 interest in the position but he is the king of character that would understand best that a close proximity to the pirate king would yield the best payout treasure. We’ll see though I guess.
I somehow would really hard enjoy it, should he indeed ascend to a literal pirate god. Like a real god. And everyone plus Luffy and all his former enemies are like "How the did he manage this?! This is ridiculous!". Shank would of course just laugh his ass off because of this result. And as he is the pirate god, all treasures of this world belong to him. Lul. xD :'D
The only reason I believe Buggy has not been secretly hiding some awesome powers, is because we've heard his internal thought process many times. Internal buggy is more terrified than even external buggy.
I love the theory of baggy hiding his true power from everyone and doing other small things that now little by little got him the title of yonko.. I suppose if he is truly hiding something then he should reveal it now that he is the highest you can get..(pirate king is out of the option for anyone but luffy)
I agree but disagree, buggy can be the pirate king whenever he wants. But to buggy, a title like the pirate king is just useless. God buggy is a transcended being.
True master of hiding power is one and only God Ussap , you guy's don't even know , his army of little tantara and giant elbaf etc. Pirate King is nothing when u r God 🗿he and yonko Buggy will form alliance and destroy celestial dragons .
He forgot the danger of the awakening of buggy's fruit he can fly and he can make any human or a whole island split into many pieces that's why he escaped the marine attack and became a yonko
I've been wondering forever when Oda was going to reveal what buggies true power and true purpose was because he's been seeming super weak the whole time but you can tell that oda had a plan for him
I've said it once, " Why would the King of the Pirates have weak members on his ship? Roger had the Highest bounty! Every pirate that wanted to make a name for themselves went after Roger and crew and I guess Buggy hid every battle. Buggy and Shanks were always in competition with each other, you don't think steel sharpens steel even if it was Buggy. Roger kept Buggy around for comedy? I think not.
Why did Luffy keep Nami and Usopp around when they were weak as shit? Because like Roger, Luffy doesn't care about being the best, he wants to be Pirate King in order to have a good time.
Doflamingo, Big Mom and even Kaido have lost their "investors" from the Criminal Underworld or the Syndicates...those investors have turned to Buggy's own business organization and got rich from his clients. Add also Buggy's discovery of Captain John's hidden treasure, thanks to a map Luffy gave Buggy while they were at Impel Down! Add his sudden fame to facing Whitebeard at Marineford and add also to his promotion to Shishibukai. Even though the Shishibukai system has been abolished, the Gorosei decided to promote him to Yonko in a desperate attempt to diminish Luffy 's own Yonko status!
The gorosei do not assign the title of yonko. Its not an official title, but a global recognition of power/influence. Big news Morgans is the one who "makes it official" if anything. The WG only assigns titles to those who work for/with them, the Emperors don't. They are separate entities entirely. Ask Ohara or GLR's Liam. 💯😁
Buggy literally clowned on the WG with his "Grand Line Fedex" business when he was made Shichibukai. He probably is extremely rich now and commands a grand fleet either similar or bigger than our Straw Hat Grand Fleet. Since probably his couriers and partners just turned pirates again when the Shichibukai got disolved
The crazy thing to me about Mihawk - the first spotlighted time we've seen a paramecia type use their DF to evade haki-infused attacks was Katakuri. By spotlighted, I mean an instance where the feat was presented seriously (e.g. Nami has bludgeoned Luffy many times, but it was first treated as a serious feat when Garp first did it post-Enies Lobby).
I think Buggy is the most Pirate like pirate in one piece. He's cunning, trickster and opportunistic. He just got the right mindset as pirate to pursue treasure, prioritized escape than fighting and keep low key so he could roam around freely. As a Captain, he will just let his crew be the flashy pirate they want as long as they bring the booty at the end of the day. Other than treasure hunting, he loves to have a feast, fun and freedom. 🤣
Honestly buggy is such an amazing and harmless character. From what I remember all he ever really cared about was remaining low-key and finding treasures that the fact he's considered a villain never made any sense to me since he never actually really hurt anyone or outright attacked anyone and it's usually him being attacked and having to defend himself without hurting anyone severely or at all in the process.
@@loladas9 Killed his own crew for talking about his nose, used them as a shield, punched one for misinterpreting something he said, blew up a town, tried to kill Luffy in Logue town. He's only harmless because of how inept he is and will abandon his crew to save his own skin like with the Warlord status revoked.
one thing a-lot of people froget is that Buggy is now the top weapon manufacturer, that means buggy's little circus tent is probably one of the most secure places in the world lol
8:08 Buggy does actually seem to be pretty skillful even pre timeskip as right here he's seen walking up a wall (look at his feet, not him just floating)
I believe that Oda is going with the anime trope of the first main villain. Lingering around in the series, after the main character, Powers up a significant level past him. Often becoming an ally, with a love-hate relationship.
I always thought Buggy was much more capable than what we've seen previously. Every other surviving member of Roger's crew has been an absolute monster. Bullet, Rayleigh, Krokus, Oden, Scopper Gaban, Shanks... All absolute beasts. Buggy, in my opinion, never showed much of his actual fighting prowess but was the closest person to actually killing Luffy, before Kaido. Mihawk's Yoru, a haki I fused black blade was overpowered without Buggy seemingly using any haki at all. But, being on Roger's ship with such powerhouses whom all use haki in advanced forms tells me he was on par with Shanks. Buggy didn't want to be a Yonko, or Warlord, he was on the hunt for Captain John's treasure. But Buggy is an ultimate opportunist, taking whatever comes his was as a blessing/gift. And Shanks knows Buggy more than anyone else, literally have up going to Laugh Tale because Buggy got sick. Shanks at Marine Ford, treated Buggy as an equal and it was noticed, it then came out that he was a former member of Roger's crew. Openly turned down an offer from a Yonko. I'm calling this right now. Crocodile, Weevil, Hancock, and Mihawk joined Buggy's fleet and pushed away all the Marines. That is the part of chaos we haven't seen yet, outside of Wano.. the SSG failed miserably...
I kinda like the idea that Oda is exploring different types of rivals. Smoker, Coby, Akainu, Blackbeard, Kidd, Buggy... All could be called rivals of Luffy, but each and every one of those rivalry dynamic are completely different. And there are a lot of things like that in the story. There could be whole hours long analysis made about how Oda is using and exploring storytelling devices and cliches. I believe that's why One Piece takes so long, because Oda likes seeing different spins on things. Friendly rival, serious rival, serious but comedic rival, ideological rival, revenge rival...
I'm still in the boat that the baby Gol D. Roger picked up after god vally was Buggy, not Shanks. Making him the son of Sabbec, which would be just so funny xD
@@leavemealone3198 garp is the father of luffys mom. he only ever says luffy is “his kid’s kid,” he doesn’t specify gender. thats just my theory at least, because of the similarities in design between rocks and dragon, as well as both acting against the world gov
Can imagine a Buggy - Luffy encounter going with them playfighting over a piece of meat or something, and Buggy's crew all like "woooow. They're like brothers!" Lol
aight so buggy might have astronomical powers literally. imagine his body chopped into pieces, coated all with advanced armament and advanced conquerors, continuously spinning and revolting like a planetary system, hurling towards you like a mad tornado, add an advanced observation and it will be a guaranteed hit each body part
with his current outfit, that big huge cloak thing, I think that could be something he does, you know, since no one can see his body parts, he might sneak some out and attack from behind or something
@@Kabra2012 you think the great emperor buggy would need to learn some lowly government dog's technique? His technique would obviously be called BUGGY something
Note: Oda himself said that Buggy would be as strong as Shanks if he wasn't so lazy. Buggy just doesn't put as much effort toward a lot of things like Shanks does.
I think there's one factor that might be overlooked. While Buggy IS influential, Cunning, Charismatic and has DF power with potential, He also tries to stay out of action. Of course he inevitably ends up in the middle of it, like at marineford, impel down etc and that's where his traits shine. Making his 'Great Captain Buggy' persona, that gets to people. But because of his cunning, he tries to stay out of it. When most of the world focuses on big shots, like Luffy, Kaido, Big Mom etc, no one will notice Buggy Delivery, or rather no one takes him seriously as a threat. Which allows him to gain his influence and Wealth more easily. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what got him the Yonko status. he just used the commotion in the world to quietly climb up the ranks.
Buggy is very interesting because he have the most potential to get a power up. Bro have TWO former warlord of the sea in his guild. If Mihawk and Corcodile felt like it, they could easily become his teacher and force him to train to make their mascot becomes stronger so they dont have to deal with the marines.
I thought Buggy was a throwaway villain. Now think he's one of the most interesting characters. I have a feeling Buggy is going to be of significant importance towards the end of OP.
I imagine Smoker reading the newspaper announcing Buggy as a new Emperor and going "huh, didn't I capture this schmuck and his entire crew in 5 seconds a couple of years ago?"
"Babe please, it is just a anime" "The clash between the most powerful gods in existence is gonna happen, I need to find a way to witness this even at the cost of my insignificant life. I can't sit around and wait. Blow the trumpets men, cause shits about to get real"
My favorite theories on this topic probably is: Buggy accidentally awakened his devil fruit and became OP or he convinced a couple of warlords to join his crew
Or that Buggy somehow found Uranus 😂 . I still prefer the idea that Buggy awakened his fruit to have nuclear fission capabilities. He would really be “bombastic” then.
@@jacobwalker5074 lol he can actually manipulate atoms which is why he can detach himself and he is now on part with Dr Manhanttan. But if this actually happens it will end up becoming stupid like Foxy having an invincible power but using it for random shit.
I personally think Buggy is actually powerful. Think about it, he was part of Rogers crew, he took part in fights with Rogers crews against other powerful crew, he has been a pirate since he was a kid, he has connections in the underworld. He might be a son of a powerful yet unknown one piece character etc etc. He might hiding something to us all along. I'm ok buggy being a yonkou!
He might not have confidence. We know with hindsight how powerful those other pirates are but when he was on Rogers crew it might have just been the norm.
He is powerful. Oda stated that he would be Shanks' equal if he wasn't to lazy to train and I don't think that training alone would get someone to be as powerful as a Yonko.
He could be Im Sama nephew along with Shanks. Ah, blue hair, you reminds me of my sister that lost in God Valley. The internet would explode knowing that, Buggy is a celestial dragon.
1:33 I think we are forgetting that buggy has been out of his element for years, he has not fought or trained (well truly) for years. Its like a major veteran who is in a room sitting for 20 years it would be hard to be good in that moment, sometimes you need to practice again and regain confidence to be able to be good.
I think he has gained some strength when he was in impel down, and the timeskip also allows for him to gain power. I think his current strength could be at the very most, the minimum one needs to be considered a warlord
Buggy awakening is molecular spliting. He can split enemies in a molecular level, which will ignore how strong the enemy is. Hence, this will make him an incredibly powerful pirate.
haki is said to give you a resistance to wierd devil fruit powers like that, even if the awakening allowed you to split others, strong enough haki would prevent it to some degree, same as law's fruit.
@@femthingevelyn while I doubt he will be able to "chop" matter on a molecular level. Haki will have very small effect when someone splits some atoms underneath and creates Hiroshima at your feet lol
Since you referred to Buggy and Usopp as the Trickster type, there have been other characters who have that same sort of position. Such as Foxy, Caesar and probably Caribou and Miss Bakin.
Finally! I've been waiting eagerly for this video! As much as i want buggy to still be the funny little clown he is, i want to see something cool from him like in impel down with his muggy ball introduction. I wanna imagine that buggy fought stainless in a 1v1 fight and buggy ultimately winning with his knives, devil fruit, and of course bombs. And maybe just maybe, buggy might be affiliated with many countries because of his business and called them to his aid when the marines decided to capture him. And since the world government saw this, they finally got the idea that buggy checks almost everything out to be a yonko. First is territory (his base of operations and his affiliated countries), influence (being the biggest underworld weapons dealer after doflaningo and now kaido), and finally strength (lmao he just lied about that so i'll automatically just count it in). All in all, i hope the reason why buggy became a yonko is both hilarious, and badass at the same time! And also reveal that he might have a secret ace up his sleeve.
Buggy became the first youtuber/content-creator in the one piece universe at Marineford, he has always been way ahead of his time. There are even rumors that Buggy isn't after the one piece, Buggy actually IS THE ONE PIECE.
Either Buggy's fruit is incredibly overpowered and he literally cannot be cut by anything or he has incredible observation haki and he split his body into all those pieces before mihawk could cut him. Either one suggests incredible strength either by luck or hard work. I have to assume that he at least learned a little about how to use haki since he was on Rogers crew
It's also interesting to point out that, like Luffy, he too is building up his crew bit-by-bit as the story goes on. He has Alvida and Galdino aka Mr. 3 joining Cabaji, Mohji, Richie, and himself. Will he have even more allies - with names - on his side as he races towards One Piece ... Caesar Clown? That said, with the story coming to a close it'll be interesting to see if all these 'liars' will have some form of repercussions: Will Buggy learn to trust in his own accomplishments rather than his associations? What if the Boa Sisters' backs are revealed and the Amazons struggle to trust them (If you think about it Hancock has become somewhat a twisted version of a Celestial Dragon, punishing any who question/defy her)? What if Ussop wanted to meet his father just to punch/berate him for abandoning him and his mom (Looking up to Yassop was the ultimate lie)? Will Blackbeard accept fate even if it leads to his demise or will he throw his crew 'under the bus' to show his 'true' selfishness? ETC.
Lowkey I wanna have a light manga/novel where the story is base on buggy's journey to being a yonko just like the light novels of naruto where they explain the shits that happened outside the manga that is still canon
I think Buggy's new bounty is 1.5 billion. It was Luffy's first bounty as a Yonko, but more importantly it shares a connection with Luffy's bounty. Luffy's bounty is 100x his first bounty of 30 million, so I think Buggy's bounty will also be 100x his first bounty of 15 million.
Just like Buggy can be compared to Usopp, I think that a similar comparison can be drawn against Luffy as well! As we know, at Marineford Mihawk explains that Luffy has the ability to "one by one, turn the people around him into his allies", that he "possesses the most terrifying power" -- but couldn't that same explanation be applied to Buggy? The only difference is that Mihawk states that Luffy's ability is "not a Devil Fruit, or some cheap trick", but in Buggy's case it is by definition a cheap trick, where he even goes as far to use his own Devil Fruit to appear larger than he is, adding to his deceit.
Buggy's devil fruit can split himself until the smallest bit thing of his body. Imagine his awakening he can split anything as he wants and he splitting his muggy ball into atom size and explode it with the size of *NUCLEAR EXPLOSION* and if you look his new yonko title he's called *"the bombastic clown"* YEAH HIS FRUIT IS ACTUALLY THAT POWERFUL, HE'S A FULL BLOWN *BOMBER EMPEROR.*
It would be interesting to know if Haki actually can make blades able to cut Buggy, because there is definitly a difference to Logia types. That is something I'm wondering since first seeing Hawkeye cutting him.
"Clown"/"Joker" is well known for their best element of surprise. Just look at buggy in marine war, he just joking around those big names, yet still got out unscratched. Dont forget he was RIVAL of Shanks.
I wonder if Buggy somehow managed to recruit Edward weevil( and his mom) to the crew, with the loss of the giants Buggy would need a major powerhouse like Edward on his side and I could see him working out a deal with Edward's mom, Bugg's delivery had likely made him a lot of money which he could use to pay them. Plus out of the new emperors working with Buggy makes the most sense.
Anyone who underestimates The Fool, is doomed to be destroyed. Buggy is, and always has been an absolute beast. His foolishness is a mask to hide his true power. Look at nearly any "Fool" throughout history. Many have had the ear of a king, and many more have facilitated the death of kings. The idiocy is almost ALWAYS an act.
The fact that Shanks is scared of him to report him to the WG, Buggy sets up wanted posters for Marines, and Buggy has sought after influential treasures displays something really suspicious and dangerous about him. He may know way more about this world than any other characters in this series.
dude buggie being a yonko has shook both the worlds but its no big surprise! remember what whitebeard said - that buggie wasn't problem on his own but the people behind him were a real problem.
I think final fight of luffy may not be with BB it's gonna be with Buggy. Buggy was the first one who fought luffy at laughtown at starting that makes sense that buggy may fight luffy in finale.
Its less about his personal strength, its more because hes a former member of roger (as far as they know he knows where the one piece is), is shanks sworn brother, helped break a lot prisoners from impel down, and those prisoners joined his crew. I think his position is well deserved, not based on his strength but everything else.
The more i think about Buggy the more i tend to theories where he might be hidding his power from the beginning. There is no way when you see who was part of Roger crew had become you think Buggy is weak. He might be the weakest among former roger's pirates but when you think about Roger, Rayleigh, Shanks, Oden the term weak is the last to come to mind. He is litteraly like usopp, probably the most normal among his crew but he is still part of the crew of the pirate king that still mean something. During Oden flashback we saw Roger talking to Shanks before he leave what if Roger or most likely Shanks repeat his words, maybe they decide to reach raftel together when it's the right time or compete. A old theory around Buggy is that he might be the baby that roger mentioned at one point, could he be Xebec son? or at least a D? His name is Buggy the clown.. Dōke no Bagi... Hidden in plain sight from the beginning the signification of the D clan the Dōke clan, the clown clan... and when you look up Dōke you can find thing like same family, equal right or even being buried in the same grave. The ancient Kingdom could have been a country where misfit, people who didn't belong among their own found their nakama and as a proof they use the letter D to recognise themself among other. People who like to joke, wanted everyone to be free to laugh and die smiling.. If this is true Buggy might have the best character arc ever and I wouldn't ming at all if he is the pirate king (he probably his a royal descendant of the ancient Kingdom as in he is the only one we ever saw in One piece with this peculiar nose..) But for sure we will see him soon and now i think he might have a bigger involvement in shanks arc. He will be the one to initiate the come back for the arc we probably hate all the most. Davy Back Fight...
Watching the early episodes of One Piece again is pretty surreal, not gonna lie, because of just how far Luffy has come. I can't say I expected Buggy to come this far either, when I was a kid and watching those episodes. Proud of that clown
Buggy, if I recall correctly, was the first Pirate the Strawhats fought in the series, and he recruited the first Pirate Luffy fought. I think thematically it would be perfect if Buggy was the final Boss of One Piece.
@@koldraiynedownskayle5744 Yes, but Buggy was the first Pirate they fought after the strawhats were formed. At least on my eyes, a crew is formed when you get more than 1 individual.
Different members of Roger's crew have met luffy at different occasions, eg. Crocus on twin peaks, Rayleigh on sabaody, shanks on fusha village. I believe everyone of them had a mission given my roger which was related to joyboy. Question is, did roger gave a purpose to buggy as well?
It will be interesting that Buggy was hiding his true power. Do you feel clumsy with this character? Well, if this character is supposed to be comedy character why he is made look like important character? The first appereance on east blue and the first pirate that make Luffy serious. His bounty 15 Million Berry. He fought Luffy, then he lose, he revenged, but he lost again, then he chased Luffy, but he was caught by marine, then appeared again in impel down and one of important arc marineford, then became a warlord and now he become an emperor. Seems clumsy to me. If he is supposed to be comedy character, why Oda showed him is like he is one of important character? Even, he has backstory that I think he is not supposed to be comedy character only. Sekke and Buggy are same actually, they are one of luckiest character in animanga. But, Buggy seems is not. Shanks is really strong but why Buggy is not? They are in Roger pirates on same age, and of course have same experience. But, why Shanks only is strong? Maybe, he can become one of jokes character that become serious character. I know, usually the character is like Buggy is supposed to be comedy character only until final. But we don't know yet
The fact that buggy is called bombastic on his wanted poster could suggest that buggy has awakened his fruit so he can split atoms resulting in a nuclear bomb
since you mentioned "loki" as a possible character to show up during elbaf.. Shanks is heavily connected to elbaf - and buggy is connected to shanks - on gold rogers ship they were like brothers so maybe the loki you're looking for is buggy? :D
I agree with this theory. Even clowns hide their true identity to make themselves look and act goofy. It’s called putting on an act. Common to circus clowns. He not strong as shanks, but he is a force to be reckoned with. Worthy of a Yonko. Imagine he has advance Haki and he has his own devil fruit awakening that makes everything around him to be chopped into pieces. Everything around Buggy becoming a whole juggling circus act.
I’d suggest one of Buggy’s biggest character arks for the forthcoming arks will be finally choosing the safety of his crew over betrayal and false riches. With the future world war throwing the government, pirates, revolutionary’s and innocent people into chaos, Buggy will have to make decisions for himself and those around him. We’ve already seen at his warlord level that he uses mercenaries to pick up the demand left by Domflamingo. I can’t say for certain how large his crew will be but hear me out: Buggy, being one of the only warlords (we know so far) to have survived the governments abolishment will have certainly made his own inner circle of crew stick by his side (he can’t be all on his own as a warlord). Therefore Buggy and his crew have to work together at a Yonko level. Like so the his alliance with white beard, Buggy might end up teaming up with luffy or a greater pirate alliance against the world nobles or their government agents. ✌🏻
It's known Buggy is Oda's favorite character he even mentioned it himself several times, seeing Buggy hit big-time maybe Oda trolling or just slowly revealing that he's been diverting us from the big picture all along. I remember having a conversation with my friend back when The Paramount War of Marineford arc was out where Ace died.(.aaaaa..sad times I didn't want to watch One Piece after Ace died for about 2 years 😆 it was so sad) , anyways...after watching/reading that arc , my friend said " I believe Luffy won't become the Pirate King cause Buggy will.. " , the more I thought about it the more I believe it to be a real prediction coming true, given Luffy has a different dream that's totally different from being the pirate King i.e. thinking back to Sabody where he met Rayleigh, Luffy said " The pirate King has the most freedom..." implying he wants freedom and on the broader scope he wants freedom for everyone basically ... It's just a wild guess Buggy becoming the pirate king, but could be true too 😆 who knows maybe after Luffy find the One Piece he'll really achieve his true dream and the pirate King would be what it is just a title to him.. Or something like that...its all vagueness at this point.. If you read this far, here's a ❤ for you. 🤭 anyways thanks for reading, have a good day.
If he is "secretly strong" it is just poor writing .. he is shown to be afraid and emotional .. they already stated its his crew and not him that makes him strong. He only gets promoted to warlord because he has prisoners from impel down. Its more likely he has other warlords in his band or more OP subordinates
To be fair, chopper and ussop freak out all the time and yet now they are powerful compared to most people in OP. Especially with choppers monster point. You can still be strong and afraid of dying.
@@stevelucky7579 You're not wrong but I would still be truly amazed if he ever turned out to actually be strong. I think that OP subordinates and failing upwards are 100% the reason he's a yonko now.
I think buggy ironically represents the human aspect of one piece. You can have the greatest natural ability in the world but your put against a giant dragon, 3 sword welding badass, or the sun God…. You look pretty insignificant.
What if buggy splits himself precisely where a slice or stab will come? Wouldn't that make him an extremely skilled devil fruit user? Not to mention his years of experience fighting with pirates on the level of the new world at a incredibly young age. It could also be possible that he has extremely advanced observation haki, furthering his strengths even more. He'd be a Vice Admiral level at the bare minimum if so.
Bro imagine Ussop got the title "The Bravest Warrior In the Sea" because he challenged Buggy-sama, That would be hilarious 😂.
I now need a lying fight between Usopp and Buggy to determine Pirate King!
I’m saving this one, when it happens, ill make sure someone, somewhere gives you credit
@Mugiwara Mark the most realistic way of him being the braviest in the sea is sacraficing himself to do something no other person would dream off doing but i doubt any of the strawhats would die (hopefully)

An awakened chop chop fruit could be terrifying. If he could extend the ability to remove body parts to others, he'd be like Law without the specifics that Laws fruit needs to work
Or just split parts of the area he’s in. Imagine throwing giant cuts of stone.
Or separate his body down to the atomic levels and become immune to almost everything. wield this atomic sized parts towards inside to his opponent (because they are so small they can get through skin cells) and assemble them in order to make a huge internal damage on opponent's vital organs.
Or he attaches other object to him to make him huge and powerful

theory: Buggy isn't actually immune to cuts, he splits himself where the cut would be, making him extremely skilled with his fruit, impressing the government on the war when he fought Mihawk

@@cl4ka_keyrox who
One of the many reasons why Buggy rose into the Emperor of the Seas is his underground connections. After the War of the Best, with a crew of heinous people in the entire One Piece world, his brotherly connection with Shanks, and him being one of the apprentices of Pirate King's crew, his power grew immensely without anyone noticing it-- especially in the underrated underground/ mafia setting in One Piece world where the likes of Capone Bege, Morgans, and Doflamingo were some of the players there. Now that the whole operation of Doflamingo a.k.a "Joker" is destroyed, the Buggy Delivery Service competes in the underground world now that we are near the endgame of the story. His previous title as Warlord sets the stage for his power to grow exponentially. While we are shocked by the news, it is natural, however (in my opinion) that his place is justified. It is refreshing to see that the power dynamics of the Emperors now do not focus on brute strength alone. He, being one of the 4 strongest pirates sets a new standard in the Yonkou system. Strength alone is not enough. (although it is necessary to continue because of stronger foes) Influence plays an important role now in the new saga of the pirate world. With the extent of the Buggy Delivery Service, and his established background as one of the apprentices in Roger's crew, more or less his influence became larger. In addition, a more extensive influence may equate to a larger territory since most of their transactions deal with the underground. While the likes of Whitebeard, Shanks, Blackbeard, Big Mom, and Luffy marked their territories with their flags, Buggy may have placed his territories under the facade of "trade" that his crew specializes in. And I think it is common that the place where your business operates is presumed to be under your influence or territory. Buggy is different from the three because he is the type of Yonkou that is more about "business." Thus, he may be perceived as the "weakest", but in terms of influence and power, both in money and politics and sorts of tactics, he really is in another league with Shanks and Luffy.
And it is essential to note that Buggy now became the three words that embody Roger: wealth, power, and fame.
want it or not he was part of Roger crew.
It is like having the name Bush or Clinton and going into politics.
You may not reach top spot but you can easily reach any spots without even trying which is what Jeb and Hillary did.
A random guy sweeping the floor would automatically become an idol if he was there during the golden era and part of the best crew ever. Check out Ringo Star, nothing special yet part of the greatest band of all times. Everybody knows him.
Exactly! Very well said!
@Jean Bob Yes, it is true. However, unlike Rockstar or those in the example, Buggy did not spread that he was a member of the Roger Crew. It was later revealed in the story when he joined with Luffy and co during the Paramount War. And, his reaction was shocked because the Navy has this information. So, Buggy never intended to use the name of Roger in the first place. And only focused on amassing wealth or treasures. He could join Shanks but decided to went on his own treasure hunt.
Guys, i have the ultimate answer, Oda told himself that Buggy is HIS FAVORITE character, that´s all folks!
Him and luffy got that same influence over people I absolutely agree with you crazy how the original four three of them were in the rock crew one was in the pirate king crew second set of Yonkos one came from white beard pirates and the other the pirate king crew then luffy who role model is red hair skank
I had the thought that when Buggy saw the straw hat, he immediately recognized it and went easy on Luffy. He's been planning things out since then.
I’d be willing to bet that buggy was always a monster level powerhouse but was fulfilling a destiny of being a signal of the new king of the pirates. Buggy has proven himself time and time again to be one of the most clever and resilient characters in the story. No matter the situation he is presented with buggy is able to retain or build a loyal crew. If we’re to assume that buggy was in east blue to find the greatest treasure of them all, maybe that treasure is the next pirate king. Buggy has shown 0 interest in the position but he is the king of character that would understand best that a close proximity to the pirate king would yield the best payout treasure. We’ll see though I guess.
holy shit you might be oda, when the truth is revealed about buggy i will be back to give you credit

I somehow would really hard enjoy it, should he indeed ascend to a literal pirate god. Like a real god. And everyone plus Luffy and all his former enemies are like "How the did he manage this?! This is ridiculous!". Shank would of course just laugh his ass off because of this result.
And as he is the pirate god, all treasures of this world belong to him. Lul. xD :'D
The only reason I believe Buggy has not been secretly hiding some awesome powers, is because we've heard his internal thought process many times. Internal buggy is more terrified than even external buggy.
I love the theory of baggy hiding his true power from everyone and doing other small things that now little by little got him the title of yonko..
I suppose if he is truly hiding something then he should reveal it now that he is the highest you can get..(pirate king is out of the option for anyone but luffy)
I agree but disagree, buggy can be the pirate king whenever he wants. But to buggy, a title like the pirate king is just useless. God buggy is a transcended being.
Even if it is true, still he is at least 1 step behind God Usopp. The great prophet.
True master of hiding power is one and only God Ussap , you guy's don't even know , his army of little tantara and giant elbaf etc. Pirate King is nothing when u r God 🗿he and yonko Buggy will form alliance and destroy celestial dragons .
He forgot the danger of the awakening of buggy's fruit he can fly and he can make any human or a whole island split into many pieces that's why he escaped the marine attack and became a yonko

-Captain Buggy D. Clown
I've said it once, " Why would the King of the Pirates have weak members on his ship? Roger had the Highest bounty! Every pirate that wanted to make a name for themselves went after Roger and crew and I guess Buggy hid every battle. Buggy and Shanks were always in competition with each other, you don't think steel sharpens steel even if it was Buggy. Roger kept Buggy around for comedy? I think not.
Why did Luffy keep Nami and Usopp around when they were weak as shit? Because like Roger, Luffy doesn't care about being the best, he wants to be Pirate King in order to have a good time.
@@loladas9 lol..nami and ussopp are weak? I object that
Doflamingo, Big Mom and even Kaido have lost their "investors" from the Criminal Underworld or the Syndicates...those investors have turned to Buggy's own business organization and got rich from his clients. Add also Buggy's discovery of Captain John's hidden treasure, thanks to a map Luffy gave Buggy while they were at Impel Down!
Add his sudden fame to facing Whitebeard at Marineford and add also to his promotion to Shishibukai. Even though the Shishibukai system has been abolished, the Gorosei decided to promote him to Yonko in a desperate attempt to diminish Luffy 's own Yonko status!
The gorosei do not assign the title of yonko. Its not an official title, but a global recognition of power/influence. Big news Morgans is the one who "makes it official" if anything. The WG only assigns titles to those who work for/with them, the Emperors don't. They are separate entities entirely. Ask Ohara or GLR's Liam. 💯😁
Buggy literally clowned on the WG with his "Grand Line Fedex" business when he was made Shichibukai. He probably is extremely rich now and commands a grand fleet either similar or bigger than our Straw Hat Grand Fleet. Since probably his couriers and partners just turned pirates again when the Shichibukai got disolved
The crazy thing to me about Mihawk - the first spotlighted time we've seen a paramecia type use their DF to evade haki-infused attacks was Katakuri. By spotlighted, I mean an instance where the feat was presented seriously (e.g. Nami has bludgeoned Luffy many times, but it was first treated as a serious feat when Garp first did it post-Enies Lobby).
Imagine being the only worthy person who can spar with Go d. Usopp and given the lowly title of yonkou the govt are always so bad at estimating power

I think Buggy is the most Pirate like pirate in one piece. He's cunning, trickster and opportunistic. He just got the right mindset as pirate to pursue treasure, prioritized escape than fighting and keep low key so he could roam around freely. As a Captain, he will just let his crew be the flashy pirate they want as long as they bring the booty at the end of the day. Other than treasure hunting, he loves to have a feast, fun and freedom. 🤣
Buggy is just built different 🥶
Honestly buggy is such an amazing and harmless character. From what I remember all he ever really cared about was remaining low-key and finding treasures that the fact he's considered a villain never made any sense to me since he never actually really hurt anyone or outright attacked anyone and it's usually him being attacked and having to defend himself without hurting anyone severely or at all in the process.
He hurt that dog in orange Town

Buggy to luffy " they call me Buggy The Clown but actually my name is Buggy D Clown!!!"😂
8:08 Buggy does actually seem to be pretty skillful even pre timeskip as right here he's seen walking up a wall (look at his feet, not him just floating)
I believe that Oda is going with the anime trope of the first main villain. Lingering around in the series, after the main character, Powers up a significant level past him. Often becoming an ally, with a love-hate relationship.
Ala Orochimaru.
I always thought Buggy was much more capable than what we've seen previously. Every other surviving member of Roger's crew has been an absolute monster. Bullet, Rayleigh, Krokus, Oden, Scopper Gaban, Shanks... All absolute beasts. Buggy, in my opinion, never showed much of his actual fighting prowess but was the closest person to actually killing Luffy, before Kaido. Mihawk's Yoru, a haki I fused black blade was overpowered without Buggy seemingly using any haki at all. But, being on Roger's ship with such powerhouses whom all use haki in advanced forms tells me he was on par with Shanks. Buggy didn't want to be a Yonko, or Warlord, he was on the hunt for Captain John's treasure. But Buggy is an ultimate opportunist, taking whatever comes his was as a blessing/gift. And Shanks knows Buggy more than anyone else, literally have up going to Laugh Tale because Buggy got sick. Shanks at Marine Ford, treated Buggy as an equal and it was noticed, it then came out that he was a former member of Roger's crew. Openly turned down an offer from a Yonko. I'm calling this right now. Crocodile, Weevil, Hancock, and Mihawk joined Buggy's fleet and pushed away all the Marines. That is the part of chaos we haven't seen yet, outside of Wano.. the SSG failed miserably...
I kinda like the idea that Oda is exploring different types of rivals.
Smoker, Coby, Akainu, Blackbeard, Kidd, Buggy... All could be called rivals of Luffy, but each and every one of those rivalry dynamic are completely different.
And there are a lot of things like that in the story.
There could be whole hours long analysis made about how Oda is using and exploring storytelling devices and cliches.
I believe that's why One Piece takes so long, because Oda likes seeing different spins on things. Friendly rival, serious rival, serious but comedic rival, ideological rival, revenge rival...
Buggy is the embodiment of the phrase "Fake it till you make it"

with his current outfit, that big huge cloak thing, I think that could be something he does, you know, since no one can see his body parts, he might sneak some out and attack from behind or something
His Shigun technique would be insane
@@Kabra2012 you think the great emperor buggy would need to learn some lowly government dog's technique? His technique would obviously be called BUGGY something
Note: Oda himself said that Buggy would be as strong as Shanks if he wasn't so lazy. Buggy just doesn't put as much effort toward a lot of things like Shanks does.
I think there's one factor that might be overlooked. While Buggy IS influential, Cunning, Charismatic and has DF power with potential, He also tries to stay out of action. Of course he inevitably ends up in the middle of it, like at marineford, impel down etc and that's where his traits shine. Making his 'Great Captain Buggy' persona, that gets to people. But because of his cunning, he tries to stay out of it. When most of the world focuses on big shots, like Luffy, Kaido, Big Mom etc, no one will notice Buggy Delivery, or rather no one takes him seriously as a threat. Which allows him to gain his influence and Wealth more easily. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what got him the Yonko status. he just used the commotion in the world to quietly climb up the ranks.
Buggy is very interesting because he have the most potential to get a power up.
Bro have TWO former warlord of the sea in his guild.
If Mihawk and Corcodile felt like it, they could easily become his teacher and force him to train to make their mascot becomes stronger so they dont have to deal with the marines.
I thought Buggy was a throwaway villain. Now think he's one of the most interesting characters. I have a feeling Buggy is going to be of significant importance towards the end of OP.
Buggy is that last villain. Keep my word.
Not once did I doubt Lord Buggy’s capabilities

Whatever background music you had playing in the beginning of the video made me think I had a cicada in my room.
I personally think Buggy is actually powerful. Think about it, he was part of Rogers crew, he took part in fights with Rogers crews against other powerful crew, he has been a pirate since he was a kid, he has connections in the underworld. He might be a son of a powerful yet unknown one piece character etc etc. He might hiding something to us all along. I'm ok buggy being a yonkou!
He might not have confidence. We know with hindsight how powerful those other pirates are but when he was on Rogers crew it might have just been the norm.
He is powerful. Oda stated that he would be Shanks' equal if he wasn't to lazy to train and I don't think that training alone would get someone to be as powerful as a Yonko.
He could be Im Sama nephew along with Shanks. Ah, blue hair, you reminds me of my sister that lost in God Valley. The internet would explode knowing that, Buggy is a celestial dragon.
Remember when Buggy doesn't use his power, he becomes one piece.
1:33 I think we are forgetting that buggy has been out of his element for years, he has not fought or trained (well truly) for years. Its like a major veteran who is in a room sitting for 20 years it would be hard to be good in that moment, sometimes you need to practice again and regain confidence to be able to be good.
I think he has gained some strength when he was in impel down, and the timeskip also allows for him to gain power. I think his current strength could be at the very most, the minimum one needs to be considered a warlord
Maybe the reason for Buggy walking around as a Clown is because he tried to becomes JoyBoy as well bringing "Smiles" to everyone around him as a Clown
I am calling it now. Usopp will take down a yonko (Buggy) in one shot and becoming a brave warrior of the seas in the eyes of the people.
I suspect Buggy will be one of the people to reach Laughtale....and find out that there is no treasure.
Community: "Buggy will be the Pirate King. Which means he has to be atleast Yonko level right now"
Oda: *"HOW DID THEY KNOW?!"*
Buggy awakening is molecular spliting. He can split enemies in a molecular level, which will ignore how strong the enemy is. Hence, this will make him an incredibly powerful pirate.
haki is said to give you a resistance to wierd devil fruit powers like that, even if the awakening allowed you to split others, strong enough haki would prevent it to some degree, same as law's fruit.
@@femthingevelyn yeah, and even the strong ass haki Kaido has wasn't enough to avoid him being turned into rubber by Luffy.
@@femthingevelyn while I doubt he will be able to "chop" matter on a molecular level. Haki will have very small effect when someone splits some atoms underneath and creates Hiroshima at your feet lol

How the tables have turn 👑
Finally! I've been waiting eagerly for this video! As much as i want buggy to still be the funny little clown he is, i want to see something cool from him like in impel down with his muggy ball introduction. I wanna imagine that buggy fought stainless in a 1v1 fight and buggy ultimately winning with his knives, devil fruit, and of course bombs. And maybe just maybe, buggy might be affiliated with many countries because of his business and called them to his aid when the marines decided to capture him. And since the world government saw this, they finally got the idea that buggy checks almost everything out to be a yonko. First is territory (his base of operations and his affiliated countries), influence (being the biggest underworld weapons dealer after doflaningo and now kaido), and finally strength (lmao he just lied about that so i'll automatically just count it in).
All in all, i hope the reason why buggy became a yonko is both hilarious, and badass at the same time! And also reveal that he might have a secret ace up his sleeve.
Buggy became the first youtuber/content-creator in the one piece universe at Marineford, he has always been way ahead of his time. There are even rumors that Buggy isn't after the one piece, Buggy actually IS THE ONE PIECE.
so the one piece is a snivelling, selfish coward? that would seem to be at odds with the message of the show
Man gonna split an atom in half once he gets his fruit awakened o_0
Either Buggy's fruit is incredibly overpowered and he literally cannot be cut by anything or he has incredible observation haki and he split his body into all those pieces before mihawk could cut him. Either one suggests incredible strength either by luck or hard work. I have to assume that he at least learned a little about how to use haki since he was on Rogers crew
Might be both luck AND hard work
Btw, Blackbeard and Buggy have similar origins, Blackbeard's is a bit darker.
It's also interesting to point out that, like Luffy, he too is building up his crew bit-by-bit as the story goes on. He has Alvida and Galdino aka Mr. 3 joining Cabaji, Mohji, Richie, and himself. Will he have even more allies - with names - on his side as he races towards One Piece ... Caesar Clown?
That said, with the story coming to a close it'll be interesting to see if all these 'liars' will have some form of repercussions: Will Buggy learn to trust in his own accomplishments rather than his associations? What if the Boa Sisters' backs are revealed and the Amazons struggle to trust them (If you think about it Hancock has become somewhat a twisted version of a Celestial Dragon, punishing any who question/defy her)? What if Ussop wanted to meet his father just to punch/berate him for abandoning him and his mom (Looking up to Yassop was the ultimate lie)? Will Blackbeard accept fate even if it leads to his demise or will he throw his crew 'under the bus' to show his 'true' selfishness? ETC.
Lowkey I wanna have a light manga/novel where the story is base on buggy's journey to being a yonko just like the light novels of naruto where they explain the shits that happened outside the manga that is still canon
Is buggy basically Shanks’ Usopp? Best friend who also wants to be a captain of their own crew?
Someone ask buggy: "Are you strong?"
Buggy: "If I ger serious then yes."
Probably heard this at the Impel down arc.
I think Buggy's new bounty is 1.5 billion. It was Luffy's first bounty as a Yonko, but more importantly it shares a connection with Luffy's bounty. Luffy's bounty is 100x his first bounty of 30 million, so I think Buggy's bounty will also be 100x his first bounty of 15 million.
Lmao 😂

It's over 3 b otherwise Law or Kid would have been an emperor.
Buggy is really the embodiment of “it’s all about who you know”
Just like Buggy can be compared to Usopp, I think that a similar comparison can be drawn against Luffy as well!
As we know, at Marineford Mihawk explains that Luffy has the ability to "one by one, turn the people around him into his allies", that he "possesses the most terrifying power" -- but couldn't that same explanation be applied to Buggy? The only difference is that Mihawk states that Luffy's ability is "not a Devil Fruit, or some cheap trick", but in Buggy's case it is by definition a cheap trick, where he even goes as far to use his own Devil Fruit to appear larger than he is, adding to his deceit.
“ He who poses as a fool is not a fool “ - Robert Greene
Buggy's devil fruit can split himself until the smallest bit thing of his body.
Imagine his awakening he can split anything as he wants and he splitting his muggy ball into atom size and explode it with the size of *NUCLEAR EXPLOSION* and if you look his new yonko title he's called *"the bombastic clown"* YEAH HIS FRUIT IS ACTUALLY THAT POWERFUL, HE'S A FULL BLOWN *BOMBER EMPEROR.*
Not this again lmao. Oda's style of writing isn't this technical. Its always simple but cleverly used
@@Kekimus so what would it be? like Law's room but infinite?
Buggy absolutely know where laughtale is, after all clown = laughter.
It would be interesting to know if Haki actually can make blades able to cut Buggy, because there is definitly a difference to Logia types. That is something I'm wondering since first seeing Hawkeye cutting him.
"Clown"/"Joker" is well known for their best element of surprise. Just look at buggy in marine war, he just joking around those big names, yet still got out unscratched. Dont forget he was RIVAL of Shanks.
I wonder if Buggy somehow managed to recruit Edward weevil( and his mom) to the crew, with the loss of the giants Buggy would need a major powerhouse like Edward on his side and I could see him working out a deal with Edward's mom, Bugg's delivery had likely made him a lot of money which he could use to pay them. Plus out of the new emperors working with Buggy makes the most sense.
Probably all other shishibukais joined Buggy, even Mihawk
Buggy being part of the Roger Pirates is already a feat in itself!!!
Buggy hasn’t optimized his df potential. His awakening would be insane. I hope we’d get the chance to see him fighting seriously, lol 🤡🤪
Buggy was the first to notice Blackbeard never sleeps.
Anyone who underestimates The Fool, is doomed to be destroyed.
Buggy is, and always has been an absolute beast.
His foolishness is a mask to hide his true power.
Look at nearly any "Fool" throughout history. Many have had the ear of a king, and many more have facilitated the death of kings. The idiocy is almost ALWAYS an act.
Back when a bad joke could lead to one's execution, they had to think quick eh?
The fact that Shanks is scared of him to report him to the WG, Buggy sets up wanted posters for Marines, and Buggy has sought after influential treasures displays something really suspicious and dangerous about him. He may know way more about this world than any other characters in this series.
dude buggie being a yonko has shook both the worlds but its no big surprise! remember what whitebeard said - that buggie wasn't problem on his own but the people behind him were a real problem.
I think final fight of luffy may not be with BB it's gonna be with Buggy. Buggy was the first one who fought luffy at laughtown at starting that makes sense that buggy may fight luffy in finale.
First of all, it's Loguetown not laughtown and they first fought at orange town.
Buggy became a Yonko for one simple reason. He found Captain John's Treasure.
Its less about his personal strength, its more because hes a former member of roger (as far as they know he knows where the one piece is), is shanks sworn brother, helped break a lot prisoners from impel down, and those prisoners joined his crew. I think his position is well deserved, not based on his strength but everything else.
I feel like buggy doesn't just lie but is extremely smart, he plans things ect.
The more i think about Buggy the more i tend to theories where he might be hidding his power from the beginning. There is no way when you see who was part of Roger crew had become you think Buggy is weak. He might be the weakest among former roger's pirates but when you think about Roger, Rayleigh, Shanks, Oden the term weak is the last to come to mind.
He is litteraly like usopp, probably the most normal among his crew but he is still part of the crew of the pirate king that still mean something.
During Oden flashback we saw Roger talking to Shanks before he leave what if Roger or most likely Shanks repeat his words, maybe they decide to reach raftel together when it's the right time or compete.
A old theory around Buggy is that he might be the baby that roger mentioned at one point, could he be Xebec son? or at least a D?
His name is Buggy the clown.. Dōke no Bagi...
Hidden in plain sight from the beginning the signification of the D clan the Dōke clan, the clown clan... and when you look up Dōke you can find thing like same family, equal right or even being buried in the same grave. The ancient Kingdom could have been a country where misfit, people who didn't belong among their own found their nakama and as a proof they use the letter D to recognise themself among other. People who like to joke, wanted everyone to be free to laugh and die smiling..
If this is true Buggy might have the best character arc ever and I wouldn't ming at all if he is the pirate king (he probably his a royal descendant of the ancient Kingdom as in he is the only one we ever saw in One piece with this peculiar nose..)
But for sure we will see him soon and now i think he might have a bigger involvement in shanks arc. He will be the one to initiate the come back for the arc we probably hate all the most. Davy Back Fight...
Wrong wrong wrong lmao Buggy comes from an entire tribe of red nosed people 💀
Watching the early episodes of One Piece again is pretty surreal, not gonna lie, because of just how far Luffy has come. I can't say I expected Buggy to come this far either, when I was a kid and watching those episodes. Proud of that clown
Buggy, if I recall correctly, was the first Pirate the Strawhats fought in the series, and he recruited the first Pirate Luffy fought. I think thematically it would be perfect if Buggy was the final Boss of One Piece.
Alvida was the first pirate Luffy fought.
Buggy was the first actual full fight with a Pirate.
@@koldraiynedownskayle5744 Yes, but Buggy was the first Pirate they fought after the strawhats were formed. At least on my eyes, a crew is formed when you get more than 1 individual.
Shanks is the mastermind of Buggy and Luffy for eating the devil fruit. It was all Shanks' plan
What if Chopper fixed Buggy’s nose by the end of the story?
Rayleigh is definitely joining up with Buggy to find Shanks and Luffy. He knows that it's time to revisit Laughtale
Different members of Roger's crew have met luffy at different occasions, eg. Crocus on twin peaks, Rayleigh on sabaody, shanks on fusha village. I believe everyone of them had a mission given my roger which was related to joyboy. Question is, did roger gave a purpose to buggy as well?
If buggy met up with it luffy he’d be scared as hell like he was with wb while luffy is acting all casual
Imagine BlackBeard meet Buggy bowing and saying "I waited for you captain"
It will be interesting that Buggy was hiding his true power. Do you feel clumsy with this character? Well, if this character is supposed to be comedy character why he is made look like important character? The first appereance on east blue and the first pirate that make Luffy serious. His bounty 15 Million Berry. He fought Luffy, then he lose, he revenged, but he lost again, then he chased Luffy, but he was caught by marine, then appeared again in impel down and one of important arc marineford, then became a warlord and now he become an emperor. Seems clumsy to me. If he is supposed to be comedy character, why Oda showed him is like he is one of important character? Even, he has backstory that I think he is not supposed to be comedy character only. Sekke and Buggy are same actually, they are one of luckiest character in animanga. But, Buggy seems is not. Shanks is really strong but why Buggy is not? They are in Roger pirates on same age, and of course have same experience. But, why Shanks only is strong? Maybe, he can become one of jokes character that become serious character. I know, usually the character is like Buggy is supposed to be comedy character only until final. But we don't know yet
The fact that buggy is called bombastic on his wanted poster could suggest that buggy has awakened his fruit so he can split atoms resulting in a nuclear bomb
since you mentioned "loki" as a possible character to show up during elbaf..
Shanks is heavily connected to elbaf - and buggy is connected to shanks - on gold rogers ship they were like brothers
so maybe the loki you're looking for is buggy? :D
Interesting, my first thought was, that "God" Ussopp will outlie Loki and take his place.
I agree with this theory. Even clowns hide their true identity to make themselves look and act goofy. It’s called putting on an act. Common to circus clowns.
He not strong as shanks, but he is a force to be reckoned with. Worthy of a Yonko. Imagine he has advance Haki and he has his own devil fruit awakening that makes everything around him to be chopped into pieces. Everything around Buggy becoming a whole juggling circus act.
I’d suggest one of Buggy’s biggest character arks for the forthcoming arks will be finally choosing the safety of his crew over betrayal and false riches.
With the future world war throwing the government, pirates, revolutionary’s and innocent people into chaos, Buggy will have to make decisions for himself and those around him. We’ve already seen at his warlord level that he uses mercenaries to pick up the demand left by Domflamingo. I can’t say for certain how large his crew will be but hear me out: Buggy, being one of the only warlords (we know so far) to have survived the governments abolishment will have certainly made his own inner circle of crew stick by his side (he can’t be all on his own as a warlord). Therefore Buggy and his crew have to work together at a Yonko level. Like so the his alliance with white beard, Buggy might end up teaming up with luffy or a greater pirate alliance against the world nobles or their government agents.

Luffy is a side character with unproportionally much screen time, Buggy was the protagonist all along
It's known Buggy is Oda's favorite character he even mentioned it himself several times, seeing Buggy hit big-time maybe Oda trolling or just slowly revealing that he's been diverting us from the big picture all along. I remember having a conversation with my friend back when The Paramount War of Marineford arc was out where Ace died.(.aaaaa..sad times I didn't want to watch One Piece after Ace died for about 2 years 😆 it was so sad) , anyways...after watching/reading that arc , my friend said " I believe Luffy won't become the Pirate King cause Buggy will.. " , the more I thought about it the more I believe it to be a real prediction coming true, given Luffy has a different dream that's totally different from being the pirate King i.e. thinking back to Sabody where he met Rayleigh, Luffy said " The pirate King has the most freedom..." implying he wants freedom and on the broader scope he wants freedom for everyone basically ... It's just a wild guess Buggy becoming the pirate king, but could be true too 😆 who knows maybe after Luffy find the One Piece he'll really achieve his true dream and the pirate King would be what it is just a title to him.. Or something like that...its all vagueness at this point..
If you read this far, here's a ❤ for you. 🤭 anyways thanks for reading, have a good day.
Everybody gangsta till Buggy start splittin atoms.
If he is "secretly strong" it is just poor writing .. he is shown to be afraid and emotional .. they already stated its his crew and not him that makes him strong. He only gets promoted to warlord because he has prisoners from impel down. Its more likely he has other warlords in his band or more OP subordinates
To be fair, chopper and ussop freak out all the time and yet now they are powerful compared to most people in OP. Especially with choppers monster point.
You can still be strong and afraid of dying.
@@stevelucky7579 You're not wrong but I would still be truly amazed if he ever turned out to actually be strong. I think that OP subordinates and failing upwards are 100% the reason he's a yonko now.
Never said he wasn't a drama queen.
Lol Buggy D Clown the equivalent of an American president 😂😂😂
I think buggy ironically represents the human aspect of one piece. You can have the greatest natural ability in the world but your put against a giant dragon, 3 sword welding badass, or the sun God…. You look pretty insignificant.
Buggy is the greatest finesser in all of anime. Imagine capping your way to the top of the free world. Peak.
Loved that D&D reference at 10:34 ❤️.
What if buggy splits himself precisely where a slice or stab will come? Wouldn't that make him an extremely skilled devil fruit user? Not to mention his years of experience fighting with pirates on the level of the new world at a incredibly young age. It could also be possible that he has extremely advanced observation haki, furthering his strengths even more. He'd be a Vice Admiral level at the bare minimum if so.
