Speculations Would CG have been made a Yonko crew if the WG knew Buggy was fodder?

#42
What is important is not really Buggy but the strong people who were blinded by his fame. Why did Mihawk and Croco even bother to have him join their alliance, and at the same level as them? Because of his strong crew. If we want to extend this reasoning why didn't they just ditch/killed Buggy the moment he declared he wanted to become the PK aka endanger their asses? Because he was backed up by his expanded crew and they couldn't provoke that.

So you can take away Buggy and of course the power of the crew stays the same, they stay a yonko crew. But you can't remove the power of Buggy followers.
They don’t want buggy to join, Croc just wanted Buggy to pay him back all the money Buggy owes him and buggy said he’d offer free labor cause he didn’t have it. Buffy’s role was a chore boy; however, Buggys men fucked that up.

And after that they realized that Buggy can just be a fall guy if things go wrong. Buggy’s followers aren’t strong. He’ll Hajrudin was canonically one of the strongest members of the Delivery Service. They’re just manual labor.

I don’t think so no, it’s true Mihawk and Croc added as “top officers” elevated Buggy’s status from Warlord to Emperor, this is so because they view Buggy as a remnant from the Roger pirates that can rival Whitebeard and Shanks. Him having powerful officers on top of the foot soldiers and territory he possesses is what pushed things over the edge and now Buggy is a threat they can’t take lightly.

Buggy’s crew isnt strong… they are directly stated BY BUGGY HIMSELF to be utter weaklings… Buggy says in the grand fleet cover story that he can’t let the Giants leave his crew because they are his strongest mercenaries

As in Hajrudin and co were the strongest people Buggy has in his crew and they were fucking fodder to begin with

Get it, Hajrudin is the strongest giant in the crew… meaning the giants under Hajrudin are weaker than Hajrudin himself to begin with

Cracker < Doffy < Trebol < Machvice <~ Hajrudin < his crew < buggy fodder

so no, Buggy does not have a strong crew… Buggy simply has a loyal crew with a lot of marketing skills that manage to sell their importance… Buggy even says to crocodile that the main thing his crew can do is sell the Cross guild propaganda very well
Nobody said he has a crew completely made of veteran lvl guys or even worse YCs.. that would be insane yet they are all former Impel down guys who were pretty strong (still talking about fodder yet strong fodder, unlike Shanks fleet). That is Buggy's value.

Yet they publicly had him at the same level as them (Croco and Mihawk), why? Sure they are not YCs or even veterans yet they are strong for being fodder (they come from low levels of Impel down) and Buggy got his recognition through them and their blind faith in him. That gave him ground to deal on equal terms with Croco and Mihawk (even if privately he gets bullied all the time).

Because they didn’t look at posters which was supposed to just showcase Mihawk and Croc before Buggy’s henchman distributed them.

Buggy’s in no way on equal grounds, buggy is at most a figure head that has to listen to croc and Mihawk or he’ll get murdered

@Durableguy

Right… Shanks is a Yonko, the head of a Yonko enterprise, according to the world Government…. mihawk is not a Yonko, he’s not head of a Yonko enterprise, according to the world government
Nah Buggy Crew way too tough

He has so many level 5 prisoners over 100 million even White beard said it would be a problem

If you cant understand why he cant its time to read some other series. Guy has been the ultimate gag character for 25y and you think Oda will make him strong now because reasons.
what are you talking about. the question is not for readers but an in world question

What are you even talking about? Being in impel down doesn’t make you strong… Buggy was in impel down and he isn’t strong

The veteran level FAR OUTSCALES even Hajrudin, the guy who was the strongest man on Buggy’s crew

veteran level is fucking Mont D’or or Capone level… Fucking Hajrudin ain’t anywhere near these guy in Dressrosa (he might return later in the story with a power up)…

the current strawhats like Robin and Franky are just reaching veteran level RIGHT NOW so of course Fuckin Dressrosa Hajrudin ain’t anywhere near this level

Hajrudin who is nowhere near Veteran level was the strongest man in the Buggy crew, and Buggy’s fodder were MUCH WEAKER than even him

@bluefire12 Buggy had those guys 2 years ago.

currently in the current story, Hajrudin was the strongest man on Buggy’s crew… Buggy said so himself

Hajurdin is fucking fodder so Buggy’s crew is weaker than fodder Giants

I think they would.

They have the man power thanks to Buggy.
They have a top tier thanks to Mihawk.
And then have the strategy thanks to Crocodile.

Remember Yonko rule over the seas, they conquer. Thanks to Crocodile, they are gaining reputation fast and using the bounties they are taking down the WG marines bit by bit. Imo they are indeed are fighting for supremacy of the seas.

Unsure. The WG seems to believe Buggy's formidable enough to be compared to Law/Kidd given his "command" of Mihawk & Crocodile

So that's three heavy hitters, potentially 0 high tiers, a mid tier like Daz Bones, then endless fodder.

Remove one of those heavy hitters and it really doesn't stack up to other Yonko.
