Speculations What Oda has in mind with Buggy ?
- Thread starter Djordje
- Start date
I have a feeling Buggy's going to end up with Imu's job by the end of the series. Buggy's probably going to end up being the new "King of the World", or it's equivalent. It's just that, much like in Cross Guild, he's probably going to have very little power himself, and he's probably going to get pushed around and abused by everyone else a lot. (Stupid, dead end job.)
Will Buggy also become the King of the Pirates? At least publicly? I'm not sure. I fully expect Luffy to become the "true" King of the Pirates. But, in the eyes of the public, I wonder if Buggy will get that title, too. Like, Buggy stops early, but Big News Morgans captures a key moment on camera of Buggy being on Laugh Tale, or holding Shakky's one-piece swimsuit or something. And Buggy becomes known all throughout the world as the King of the Pirates. Shakky's one-piece swimsuit becoming his new flag, his new symbol of his rule. Turning the joke we've all made into canon. Even though the actual One Piece is something else that Luffy finds in secret.
I could also see Buggy as a "epilogue" villain. Like, we flash forward 10 or 20 years, and the Strawhats all reunite on a island. And Buggy just so happens to be there, and ends up clashing against all of them, one by one, as they show up. Like a repeat of Return to Sabaody.
Or maybe even before that. Maybe Luffy finds the One Piece, fights the True Final Boss, whoever it turns out to be. Everyone's happy and celebrating the big victory...and then Buggy sneaks up and stabs Luffy in the back. Buggy as Saruman taking over the Shire from Lord of the Rings, basically. Buggy threatening their happy ending, not because he's strong, but because he's sneaky and patient. Then Luffy has a fake-out death scene. Because there's no way Oda is ending this on a sad ending.
It's also possible that Buggy could be revealed to have one of the Secret God Fruits. Personally, I doubt it. I think all the God Fruits are better off with different characters. But, it's not impossible that Buggy's Chop Fruit is more special or important than it currently appears. Buggy's Fruit could come into play at a key moment in the finale. The Chop Fruit shares a lot of overlap with the Ope-Ope Fruit, though. So I'm not sure what Buggy could do, even Awakened, that Law couldn't.
I've heard some people speculate that Buggy could be related to the Nefertari Family, due to his blue hair like Vivi. And I wouldn't be surprised if Buggy's lineage is special in some way. Shanks turned out to have a pretty special family line. I'd expect his "brother" Buggy will end up having something, too. I'm not sure if it'll be a connection to the Nefertari or not. But, Buggy will probably be revealed or hinted to have a special bloodline of some kind. Who knows maybe he's actually the rightful "priest" of Uranos, like Momo seems to be for Pluton? Crazier things have happened.
So, yeah. I'm expecting some STUFF with Buggy. A lot of it might happen offscreen. Because, that's kind of where Buggy thrives. But, Oda seems fond of the character. I think Buggy's in for a pretty wild ride.

But Buggy was hurt. Shanks did betrayed him in his mind, not by forcing him to eat a fruit, but refusing to seek the One Piece.
Buggy had a high esteem of Shanks, projected himself in him to be better, as a rival, but Shanks refused to seek the One Piece. Which destroyed most of Buggy's own self esteem. It would be like Zoro suddenly saying to Sanji that his own ambition of becoming the best swordman is not really that important. Sanji based his own development, and the seeking of his own dream on Luffy but most of all on Zoro who inspired him to not give up on what he wants to be.
Shanks scrapped their common dream, Buggy felt betrayed and closed off in anger until Luffy came along. Freeing him from his fear, Buggy has started to feel the thrill of adventure again.
But he never followed the momentum of the strenght celling. So he was slowly imprisonned in his own delusion and his own refusal of asking to live for what he truly wants.
Until he saw one of the two biggest Pirate he knows do the most unpiraty things possible.
Buggy, like Luffy is a pirate in the truest sense : he seeks the thrill of a treasure hunt. So it's logical that the move of Shanks had a wake up call effect on him.
The One Piece represent a way for him to feel worthy again and I think in a way, it is also a way for him to go seek in friend back.
I believe Oda will grant that wish. Not sure if he will find the One Piece, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is crowned Pirate King instead of Luffy.

He might sit on the Empty Throne because all his ridiculous claims are ending up true.
It is very simple, what awaits him is greatness. He is the only character who can rival Luffy's fame.
I think he is Rock's 2nd son, probably with LinLin.
Just yesterday I had the idea that final villain might take over Dragon's body...
...but now that I think about it, taking over Buggy's body might be even better.
Buggy could be a direct descendant of the OG Davy Jones...

CG is basically just a way for oda to set up mohawk vs zoro
Without CG, mohawk has no role in the race to one piece. So he and zoro would not have met. And the zoro vs mohawk would have been an epilogue fight.
But with CG, Buggy's ambitions steer CG, and thus mohawk, into a collision course for the shp. Making Zoro vs mohawk a way more natural fight than just an epilogue fight.

Isn't the implication that Rocks was faithful to his wife? Why would he suddenly have sex with LinLin after she was on his crew for years on years? Why wouldn't he live on Totoland if he was really Big Mom's son?
Plus, there's no reason for Buggy to hide the D in his name if he was under Gold Rogers ship anyway.

I dont concern myself with the details or rather the path, I am focused on the end goal/result.
Oda will whip up any explanation he deems fit for those questions you asked.
In the end, Buggy has been called the 2nd son by Oden and that is obviously going to end up somewhere.
I say it ends up with him being the 2nd son of the guy with an identical wanted poster and LinLin has nearly the same.
Regarding the D, he probably has no clue that he belongs to that clan.
