  I love how Buggy told Crocoboy and Mihawk &quot;You can kill me if you want, I won&apos;t back down on it&quot; and it wasn&apos;t just talk. He knows he&apos;s helplessly weak compared to them, he knows they can kill him with no hesitation, and yet he put his foot down, challenged their way of seeing the world and proved to us, that despite his weakness, trickery and once again weakness, he is actually THE perfect Captain for Crocodile and Mihawk, and other pirates of their kind like Moria- because if there is one person who can reawaken their dreams, IT IS HIM!

  Buggy did inherited some of Roger&apos;s charisma and personality traits. <br><br>1. Buggy has a natural ability to attract followers and form alliances, just like Roger. Both were able to gather large crews and gain loyal subordinates through their charisma and personality. <br><br>2. Buggy has a sense of humor and enjoys having fun, just like Roger. They both don&apos;t take themselves too seriously and know how to keep the mood light. This makes them more likeable and charming.<br><br>3. Buggy has a bold and daring personality, willing to take risks. This is similar to Roger&apos;s own adventurous and fearless spirit. They both seek excitement.<br><br>4. Buggy has big dreams and ambitions, wanting to become Pirate King. This shows he inherited some of Roger&apos;s own desire for freedom and quest for the ultimate treasure. Their ambitions drive them forward.<br><br>5. Buggy has a certain flair for the dramatic and enjoys being the center of attention. This shows some of Roger&apos;s own showmanship and love of putting on a performance for crowds. They both crave the spotlight.<br><br>In many ways, Buggy did indeed inherit some of Roger&apos;s most defining personality traits that made him King of the Pirates - his charisma, sense of adventure, ambition, and ability to attract followers. While Buggy may not have Roger&apos;s full strength and abilities, he did gain some vital traits that could help propel him toward his own dreams.

  When Buggy says “way back when… what did you guys want to be” hits even harder when you remember that both Crocodile and Mihawk were there at Roger’s execution

  Buggy&apos;s disappointment in Shanks is understandable. Because Buggy has witnessed that Shanks as all the potential to be the Pirate King. Shanks could have been the &quot;Chosen One&quot; as many thought Ace (before everyone knew he was Roger&apos;s son) had the best chance of taking the crown because he was one hell of a Rookie. But whatever last words Roger told Shanks, changed Shanks mind about pursuing it and put it on hold to Buggy&apos;s shock. And those final words are one of the biggest links (and mystery) that will fill in the gap of Shanks and Buggy&apos;s relationship. <br><br>It&apos;s gonna be wild when they meet again. Shanks going for One Piece at last, and Buggy believing in his dream again despite the odds.

  Buggy is such a well written character, also Buggy is such a goat for his willingness to support Shanks. You gotta have someone like Buggy in your life.

  There’s no doubt in my mind that Buggy is gonna be on Laugh Tale. Taking his whole journey as context the man will for sure looney tune his way into being in front of the one piece. Oda is gonna mock us and I’m here for it

  For me its what causes this sudden change in buggy. for the longest time its felt like buggy has always settled for any position he was in. He was happy &quot;playing pirate&quot; just like crocodile. not going after his dream and just enjoying a practical position of power. that is until he becomes recognized as a warlord. he doesn&apos;t know how but he is quite literally side by side with shanks after years and it sets a fire under him like nothing else.

  It never fails to amaze me how Oda is able to recontextualize past characters and events so seamlessly you&apos;d really think he planned every detail since the beginning. Buggy is the perfect example: he&apos;s just a simple East Blue villain that gets defeated easily and doesn&apos;t leave a big impact on you. He&apos;s after treasure for treasure&apos;s sake. He doesn&apos;t have deeper motivations or a truly tragic backstory like the later villains. The only intriguing detail is his connection to Shanks, and it&apos;s that connection that first puts his character in a new light. When we learn that Shanks sailed on Roger&apos;s ship it&apos;s a big reveal but narratively it makes sense since Shanks is clearly important to the whole story. But then Buggy is mentioned and wait, Buggy? He sailed with the King of the Pirates?? That guy?? Suddenly he becomes more important in the reader&apos;s mind just because of his connection to other important characters. It makes him more intriguing: how could someone from the Pirate King&apos;s crew end up like that, unimportant, ambitionless and terrorizing small East Blue towns? But still, he&apos;s easy to dismiss as a joke character, a fun contrast and sometimes sidekick to Shanks. Then stuff happens and not only does he gain actual power in-universe because of those important connections and some luck, he also establishes himself better as an enjoyable character. And the escalation of his importance is funny at first, but then it keeps happening and now he&apos;s a yonko and wait, where is this going? And then this final piece is added and somehow it makes perfect sense with everything that came before. He put his dreams and hopes on Shanks and he lost it all. &nbsp;Of course he&apos;s so scorned at the concept of wanting to become Pirate King. Of course he settled for the easy pillaging of towns. And yet him regaining that flame of being a dreamer and wanting the One Piece is also perfect. Because he&apos;s always been the one pirate in the series who&apos;s cared the most about treasure, so of course he&apos;d want the biggest treasure of all. And if there&apos;s one thing we know he has, it&apos;s the charisma to get people to follow him. So we&apos;re now in a situation where Buggy the Clown of Orange Town fame is unironically one of Luffy&apos;s serious biggest rivals in actually getting the One Piece. And it could not have been planned but the current importance of his character, even if not predictable from the start, is not sudden, just the opposite in fact. Oda took the bare bones of characterisation that were there at the start and used them to gradually give Buggy a fuller backstory, motivation, character depth, and a step-by-step road to power while keeping him consistent. Unbelievable.

  I love how whenever Buggy is brought up, Shanks is always happy and smiling, really goes to show how deep their friendship goes

  Buggy was already a character I loved, but the chapter where the entire perception of his backstory flipped and we saw his true resolve, this put him on track to unironically become my favorite character period <br>I love this silly little guy
