Current Events Buggy becomes a Yonko after getting Ancient Weapon Uranus

[Topi Jerami]

I give credit to @Celestial D. Dragon for making this theory in spoiler thread.

So according to him, Buggy becomes a Yonko after getting the only Ancient Weapon which whereabouts is still unknown, Uranus.
How did Buggy find it?

Spoiler

It is from Captain John's treasure mark that Luffy gave him in Impel Down arc. The map shows the location of the treasure, and the treasure turns out to be Uranus.
Buggy accidentally found an Ancient Weapon while looking for treasure, by sheer luck, which is the ongoing theme for Buggy's character.

Then this evening, I found sanjikun's post:

If you think about it, all of this is because of Luffy. He's the one who sent Buggy to Impel Down. He's the one who got him out and put him in MF.

He pointed Buggy became Shichibukai, all indirectly caused by Luffy.
Then this time, he becomes a Yonko, probably all because of Luffy too: giving him the treasure map in Impel Down.

I think Celestial's theory of how Buggy became a Yonko can happen. Instead of the other theories like "Weevil / Mihawk / other strong characters join Buggy so now he becomes a Yonko." The gaining strong crewmembers card has been used to promote him into Shichibukai, so I don't think it will be used again to promote Buggy to a Yonko.


Extra Part: Buggy's Bounty
I am 80% sure that Buggy's current bounty is above Luffy/Law/Kidd's 3 billion bounty.
This is the reason why World Government didn't pick neither Law or Kidd as the new Yonko. If Buggy is lower than them, then logically the 4th Emperor will be Law, the silver medalist in Wano. Luffy was picked and not Law nor Kidd because Government knows Luffy is the ringleader while the other 2 are acting like his cheerleaders.
Yet they pick Buggy over those 2 (for reason stated above: in possession of Ancient Weapon has higher threat level than defeating 1 of the previous Yonko).
So Luffy currently has lowest bounty among the Yonkos and Buggy is at least at the 3rd rank, if not higher.

that would involve buggy blowing up an island as a show up force which oda wont do. buggy is an ass though.

Buggy literally did that in his introduction along with killing a crewmember. It was a town blown up though.

He doesn't have to. He can just bluff to threaten to pull the trigger, but actually not.

Hmm could be true, we need a pay of for that treasure. But still would be funny if Buggy just unlocks some secret of his devilfruit/lineage and just becomes op, while staying cowary😂 maybe there could be gags were strong fighters attack him and he screams clossing his eyes in fear only to opent to find them all cut to small pieces and everyone thinks that actually buggy is so strong and confident that he just acts as a clown to show his disrispect.

Lol I saw somebody qouted me and instantly I remembered that was his first acr in the manga lol

 

[comrade]

Might be possible, but rather doubt it. I doubt something as massive and relevant as an ancient weapon would just be hidden or pointed to by an irrelevant character like Captain John and given to someone like Buggy. I guess Buggy wouldn't even be able to grasp the power and abilities of that weapon, as I don't think any retard could just wield it.

 

[nik87]

As Buggy-senchou said himself - Sky is the limit.

 

[Master OF Haki]

@Topi Jerami I thought about it too, and honestly I'd love it. It would be much funnier if Buggy really became one the strongest characters thanks to an ancient weapon too, but I still think it's far fetched and unlikely, but that's just my opinion.

 

[Jailer]

Wouldn't mind this either, instead of that treasure being a gag moment it actually ties in to the last ancient weapon.

Can't decide what would Uranus be tho. We have a mermaid who controls seakings and a ship than can nuke possibly countries. Has to be something that sets it appart from the other two, perhaps some sort of creature, or an actual weapon (similar to Thors Hammer for example)

And if he has Uranus at disposal then can see his bounty def be higher than 3 billion.

Also the scene in longue town where he's about to execute Luffy, this time in reverse he can cast forth storms/hurricanes and thunder with it

 

[Arthur Fleck]

I think it's plausible if the ancient weapon is not something that someone can take from someone who has it. Cause if, say a ship, that could easily be taken by WG. Maybe something similar to Green Lantern Ring or Shazam ability.

Buggyball=Uranus

Oda isn’t as dark of a writer anymore though. It’s overall got a lighter depiction of action / consequences than early OP

 

[Finalbeta]

He just became a yonko thanks to his astonishing potential

 

[AkainuTheGrimReaper]

Doubt because you need robin to find ancient weapon.

 

[Topi Jerami]

????? You don't?

 

[Franosuke]

Good theory

 

[AkainuTheGrimReaper]

????? You don't?

Then how you will find ancient weapon if you can’t read poneglyph blocks ? Only robin can read poneglyph which pirates are fighting for her like Black Maria say.
The reason world government ban the language and bomb ohara island because they believe it will lead finding ancient weapons as their justification reason.

‘’So how you will find ancient weapon without knowing poneglyph language ?

Unless buggy find ancient weapon like uranus by pure dumb luck like you mention before , I can see coming up in future.

but I don’t think it will happen in this manga but I can be wrong on this topic.

I meant all people in Fishman Island can find Shirahoshi the Poseidon without needing Robin / finding Poneglyph.
Sure, they don't know about Shirahoshi being Ancient Weapon. But then there is character like King Neptune, who both knows Shirahoshi and aware she is Poseidon, without needing Robin at all.

Then Pluton in Wano, the location is not revealed yet. But probably there are samurai or Kaido or Kaido's goons that have found/saw it accidentally. Most of them probably don't know it is actually Pluton the Ancient Weapon. But that means they found Pluton without Robin's help nor reading Poneglyph.

Buggy-sama don't need Uranus, even if he had it that's just mean he won't need to dirty his hands.
