Shanks plotted to made both Luffy eat the gum fruit and Buggy to eat the chop fruit!
He scared Buggy into eating his fruit, by accident.
Then again by accident he casually brought the fruit near Luffy.
Clearly he knew in advance what would happen.
Shanks has some level of foreknowledge just like BlackBeard has. That's how he arrived at Marineford on time, like Blackbeard did. There's some hidden knowledge they both don't share with the rest.
Therefore it's clear when Buggy has his awakening he'll be one of Ichika, Yonka or Sanka!!
The question is what is Shanks scheming? Could it be you need specific God fruits awakened to unlock the One Piece?
