What if Buggy wasn't just succeeding through failure, but actually acting on principles of Anarchy the entire time?
Buggy represents the kind of anarchy that happens by accident when a system simply fails to hold someone down.
Anarchy is an intentional state of self-governance without leaders. This is how Buggy's operation has benefited from being outside of the World Government's influence.
The ultimate Anarchist move was placing bounties on the heads of the Marines, the world order itself, using mercenary groups such as the Giant Pirates.
Buggy is largely underestimated because of the nature of his role in the story. However, he is the King of Anarchy. In my view, it is extremely likely he will continue to "fail upward". His narrative dictates his power only exists in a world where there aren't any rulers, though.
If you looked at this from a purely powerscaling standpoint, Buggy has Anarchic potential, and a great defense toward any Kings who use bladed weapons as a result of his devil fruit.
