Except Oda is making him and Croco fight for pk title now due to Buggy gag influence
No, Buggy’s gag influence has nothing to do with fights
fights are serious things. When someone fights, the story has to actually take it seriously… Among all the things that Oda turns into gags, fights never become gags… Like there’s no such thing as a character winning a fight because of a gag… When a character wins, the plot takes it seriously that they won
that’s why Buggy has NEVER WON any of his gags… Oda didn’t even give buggy a fake victory to become a warlord… Like there’s no Marineford panel where like Oda wrote in a gag where for example “Smoker is the guy who was given credit for beating Warlord Crocodile. What if Buggy randomly shot a muggy ball in the air by accident and by accident the muggy ball landed on Smoker’s head and knocked him out. And So Buggy gets the fake credit of beating Smoker who already had the fake credit of beating Crocodile”
this is an example of a gag fight and Buggy’s gag being reinforced by a gag… But that never happened… Nothing like this ever happens… Buggy is not supposed to have any stake in his “accomplishments”… He did absolutely nothing to to earn the warlord position as he did nothing to earn the Yonko position
and just the same, he will do nothing to reach laugh tale… people misunderstand buggy’s gag… It’s not that Bugyy found a cheat code to success through gags… There is no cheat code buggy found to become Emperor… Buggy’s gag is simply that he gets the thing HAVING DONE NOTHING to earn it.
If Mihawk fights for Buggy, it stops being a gag… Mihawk is strong enough that his actual allegiance to Buggy immediately makes it not a gag anymore… now Oda has to be actually serious about what’s happening… Oda has to write Buggy reaching laugh tale NOT through gags, but through actual plot progression with Mihawk actually fighting for poneglyphs… And that defeats the purpose
Buggy directly tells Mihawk and crocodile that they will not fight any emperor… He said it already… And that’s the gag… As everyone fights for poneglyphs and what not to reach laugh tale, Buggy will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and reach laugh tale by pure accident… And that’s the joke… That he didn’t earn it
