You're the first person I personally have seen call out Buggy's endgame significance so early, IMO you definitely have something that the "buggy god" meme is way too juicy for Oda not to tap into lol
I mean Kefka did the same thing. A clown that turned into a god. There were definitely already people saying this about Buggy but it got drowned in memes and new theories.
Buggy is 1000% deserving of his in world status. It's hard for a lot of people to look at him from the perspective of just some random person in the OP world, but I think it's important to do so. If you know nothing about him besides his reputation, Buggy is terrifying. He was part of Roger's crew and he has close ties to Luffy, Shanks, and Whitebeard. He was credited for the mass escape at Impel Down, participated in The War of the Best, Survived a fight with Mihawk, runs one of the most powerful orginizations in the underworld, and was a former Warlord. Buggy has to be just as scary as Big Mom or Kaido in the eyes of normal people and the government in the OP world, if not scarier.
pre-story he was also known for his buggy bombs and obsession with blowing up anyone and anything that slighted him even the slightest amount. So assuming he has upgraded his buggy bombs / gave his entire fleet of ships access to these weapons, I could really see him being a force to be feared by the vast majority of people, including all the marines below vice-admiral.
@@TiltCntrlz an old renegade who didn't achieve his goals (pluton, reading poneglyphs, j.boy) and when he decided to go for the one piece, the festival was interrupted. Let's say that as big mom, they naturally remained as immovable towers, without acting
@@dripsoup6639 Oh he was scary outside of Wano before, but it's been years since he did anything other than just chill out in the land he oppresses. Sure he almost went to Marineford but Shanks gave him a slap on the wrist and he turned back.
Important to mentioned here is that when they escaped from Impel Down, Crocodile, Mr.1 and Jinbe are talking about Buggy, and how hard is to believe that he was a member of the Rogers crew (this is right after the reveal) and Crocodile sums it up that it seems every crew has its black sheep, meaning that Buggy is hardly worthy of the legacy of the Roger, but at the same time Jinbe look on Buggy who is surounded by his followers and adds "May be not" mostly to himself. This means that Jinbe noticed something in Buggy, something which makes him think that may be Buggy is capable to walk in Rogers shoes, as he might be weak, but he has ability to inspire people around him to follow him, and that is a huge strength. Mihawk saw the same ability in Luffy and even said that this is more dangerous than any haki or devil fruit power.
My personal hope for Buggy, is that he and Shanks get to reunite in the final saga and one of them will have a tragic sacrifice to protect the other. That could show Buggy's character growth from only caring about physical treasure.
idk i prefer buggy still the same even after all of this lol, yes he save shank over the treasure but turn out he got another plan like the one with luffy in impeldown xD
The best thing about Buggy and Shanks is that to an outsider at Marineford it looks like Shanks treating Buggy as an equal in power, but really it's just two childhood friends meeting after a long time and picking up where they left off because that's what people do. You just know that before long they'd be arguing again over which pole is colder... and that Shanks has probably avoided visiting either simply because having a definite answer would ruin that.
I've always wanted Shanks and Buggy to reconcile. I still see Shanks being killed by Blackbeard. If that happens I need a big emotional Buggy break-down. "We were supposed to find the One Piece together, you promised." Send him off the deep end and finally into a selfless act helping Luffy in the final war.
My two favourite Merphy Buggy moments are: 1) when Roger let slip in his interview with Merphy that Buggy was a warlord, before quickly covering his tracks, and 2) her quote that Buggy "deserves everything that he doesn't deserve".
@@erbsenkrieger considering buggy and his luck this could actually be true, plus oda also likes to pull stuffs like that into some pretty serious plot despite it seems hilarious or absurd
Yeah that plot point feels like a classic Oda move, of setting it up and then paying it off hundreds of chapters later when most people have forgotten about it.
I was just about to comment on this. Ever since Buggy got that from Luffy, his luck seems to have increased. While Luffy became unlucky, whereas before he was very lucky. Like in Sabaody, he was able to dodge Kizaru's attacks because Kuma was there. Then on amazon lily he can find out that ace will be executed, if he doesn't get that information, he'll probably miss the chance to try to save Ace, though we know how it ends.
I still think it's SUS. NO WAY in hell is someone this good at being terrible. He's hiding something. Roger probably heard a voice of all things inside buggy.
I thought of him as just a regular gag character till he was explaining why you shouldn’t mess with the whitebeard pirates but took him even more serious when he stated something was off about blackbeard in the oden flashback. Buggy may be weak but l have a feeling he’s incredibly more smart than he lets on
Over the past few weeks, Buggy has become my favorite character too. Especially, since he HAS the potential. Also: As you said - for the world, Buggy is one of the menaces that roam the sea. Someone who really was in the crew of the pirate king, a true sworn brother to Shanks, with all the stuff from Impel Down and Marine Ford really happening. He may not be strong, but his reputation is amazing. May I also add, that Buggy and Luffy have an amazing dynamic in Impel Down? Would love to see that again :D
Ya know why I want Buggy to be pirate king? Because he's like the only pirate that doesn't want to find the One Piece so him accidentally finding it or stumbling into the title would be absolutely perfect.
I absolutely love the idea of Buggy becoming pirate king by accident. Because Devil fruit abilities are only limited to the creativity of the user, I could see buggy as the type of person to discover the destructive power of splitting atoms. If Merph had been following the series sooner, I’m certain some of her theories would be among the most celebrated in the community
I love the idea of paying off the pirate god moment, but I think it would be even better if it was in relation to the gods we already have: the celestial dragons. Buggy’s going to sit in Imu’s chair. This comes with the thematic relationship to how the people at the top of society are like Buggy: thieves, cowards, braggarts, only maintaining their position because everyone believes their hype. Also it keeps the pirate king title clear, and I think Luffy has earned that.
Buggy might be lot more significant in the story then people believe.He was said to be born in the grand line,he was Roger's Cabin boy along with Shanks and most of all he knows about the road Poneglyphs and how to get to Laughtale which even Big Mom and Kaido didn't know.My tin foil hat theory is Buggy is from Loadstar, the last island in the grand line which could be significant in the story.
Merphy you speaking my language and Wuggy D. King has been my Pirate King since impel down also I hope his bounty is near or slightly above Shanks and just love how insanely charismatic he is
Personally, I would love it if Buggy had an awakened DF the entire time, and he had been making his Buggy Bombs with it - the bombs had nothing in them, he just splits the atoms inside the balls to create as big or as small an explosion as he wants. Hell, maybe he even has fully awakened Haki the whole time, and that was how he managed to evade Mihawks blade (kinda like how Katakuri evaded Luffy's punches)
AGREED!! I think that is most likely to happen at the end of One Piece. Luffy still holds the title of a PIRATE KING but Buggy becomes KING OF THE WORLD!!
I like the idea that maybe no one in One Piece knows what "atoms" are, but Vegapunk does. So he warns the WG on how potentially destructive Buggy's fruit is.
I can see the hunted ex Warlords of the Sea banding together (at least a few of them) and choosing Buggy as their figurehead just because how he is perceived by the rest of the world. Oh and because Mihawk is to lazy to actually act on his own for now. That would give Buggy the crew and actual power he needs to be acknowledged as an legit emperor aswell
This is my third video and I been really enjoying your in site on everything I seen. Really enjoy your energy and I hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation can’t wait for more one piece and other shenanigans that I get to join in.
It is so uplifting and altogether wholesome to watch you gushing over one of your favorite characters from a series that wasn’t even in your radar a year ago. It has been, and continues to be amazing to watch you sail through this path, and I remain hopeful that we will have content on this topic for years to come (even though we are entering the endgame). Keep up the good work. Greetings from Mexico. P. S. I will be starting the Gentleman Bastards series pretty soon, because of it being on several of your top list videos.
I wish Oda make a scene where Buggy and Usopp meets, and both of them are scared to fight one another. Usopp meets a new emperor and Buggy meets a "god" that he has been hearing about since Dressrosa
From a bonafide pirate, to a streamer just looking for subscribes and likes, to a government-approved mercenary company, to an actual emperor! Greatest character development in all of One Piece!
Buggy is a lot like Flashman from the Flashman books. Simultaneously the luckiest and unluckiest person in the world. Getting into situations he hates but by the end everyone thinks he masterminded his way out of the whole thing.
The devil fruit comparison for Luffy and buggy also works, both have devil fruits which people in world write off as silly and weak yet we’ve just seen Luffy’s is actually super powerful so the gag would continue if Buggy’s is as well when awakened
Buggy is a great example for people to comprehend reader vs in story character perspective. Buggy is amazing and I hope he reaches pirate king. Really want a moment of him reflecting on Roger.
“The lies we tell other people are nothing to the lies we tell ourselves.” Buggy is the Pirate King, he just doesn't have the confidence to admit it. by the way, this is a quote from Skulduggery Pleasant, you definetly have to read at least the first book of the series.
Yeah, the first time I heard the buggy hype was your time with Rogersbase. First though was “I can’t wait for Merphy to see this” when he became Yonkou.
Merphy just gave me the best theory. If buggy awakens his fruit he probably is the only one on the planet who has the ability to destroy the red line. Thus turning the world into "One Piece". And the reason why Roger's crew all laughed is because they knew buggy was the secret to one piece.
I truly believe that Mihawk and Boa probably joined Buggy’s crew and that’s why he suddenly shot up to Emperor status. With 3 warlords in 1 crew he becomes a major threat along with his past “accomplishments”. I def believe Mihawk did it so he can just chill while the government try to kill Buggy as they think he’s the mastermind. Boa joined looks big to do the same thing but also she would know that he’s some kind of ally to Luffy from Marineford. Also Murphy do you think Perona followed Mihawk to join Buggy, if so that means Buggy and Perona are in the same place. Two of your favs interacting together.
I believe that Buggy's chop chop advanced powers can grant Buggy the temp ability to chop an opponents DF power and use it on a temp basis like for a few minutes or like Wapol can fuse with other people granting him a new powerful form.
Great video. I'm here for the Buggy content. Buggy becoming a Yonkou is already one of the best moments in the series, but if he was somehow able to become Pirate King!? That would without a doubt be a peak moment in the series. There is a lot to his character that has been yet to be revealed I think. I absolutely need to see Shanks reaction to Buggy's new status.
Something I love about Buggy and Luffy is that early on they are shown as opposites haha. Buggy is immune to swords but can be hurt by guns. Luffy is immune to guns but can be hurt by swords. It makes Me feel like Oda loves Buggy.
I’ve had my own personal theory that buggy will be the one to find the one piece. •most of his grandiose claims come true and the only one left is him finding the one piece. Him becoming yonko is one of them • the Stampede movie is known for foreshadowing a lot of the future of the story, such as showing the name of Laugh Tale king before the manga revealed it. One scene I never see people talk about is a scene where all the characters race for Roger’s treasure, heavily mirroring the race for the one piece. Right before luffy reaches the treasure, he’s stopped by Urouge out of all characters(the last supernova who hasn’t played a role in the story yet) and what do you know, buggy comes out on top and gets the treasure first. • in the oden backstory shanks explicitly says that he AND buggy will build their own ships and find the one piece themselves, when he could have just said he himself will. Itll also just be the perfect place for their reunion. It’ll be the greatest joke ever told, 30 years in the making. Though obviously something will happen to buggy before he could actually see what the treasure is after finding it and the Strawhats will be the ones to truly lay their eyes on it.
As a person who isn't keeping up with things but loves watching you fangirl over this: Buggy finding the One Piece first and becoming the Pirate King, gets killed/on the verge of death and has a heartfelt moment, Luffy takes offense to Buggy's near-demise...well, plotting is fun. XDD
Ive always thought Buggy was a member of the D who could potentially become the final strawhat during the Raftel arc, having travelled there with them following Shank’s death on Elbaf
Buggy and Luffy's final fight is going to be a bookend of their first fight back in the East Blue and Buggy will accidentally awaken his devil fruit power and it's going to be amazing
I'm a new subscriber and Liam definitely hyped you up and you didn't disappoint. So thanks for being fun and entertaining. I do have a theory for you. Oda has 1 final send off for the "true pirate". And that is the eye patch. I know buggy can't be cut, but I feel a certain situation will happen to shanks or something and buggy has a hero moment which will cost him his eye and buggy will be the pirate that oda keeps hinting at will get the eye patch.
I think that you will really like Kingdom. It's a war story manga. It's just like every war that have existed, but like no war story that have ever been told
I’ll be honest, first time seeing one of your videos, and its, simple. Its a good video and its captivating, but yet simple, not a lot of people can just sit down and do this stuff, good work, underrated channel
I can see where you are going and I'll add to it, well change something. I can see Shanks and Buggy crews fighting alongside "Sun God Luffy" and during that fight during Laugh Tale/Re-discovered God's Valley. Shanks helps Buggy comes to realization that this is Luffy's, Kid's, and Law's Era with Luffy becoming Pirate King and we shouldn't stand in the way of that. Buggy realizes what his potential is but he doesn't need to lie and deceive because his real crew loves him regardless unconditionally for being himself. He doesn't need to grand-stand and make a facade, he can be himself and use his influence in a more earnest way. As for his awakening, it's gonna be something off the wall
I do think Buggy has a role in the ending, I have no idea what since Buggy is probably playing the role of "writing bomb." If Oda gets stuck in a writing corner he can throw Buggy at the wall and open a path forward. Which also means his role could be everything from minor to central. Predicting what is going to happen with Buggy is just going to be impossible. Blackbeard, however, I feel is the Rocks Pirates analogue. The story has built essentially three mirrors. Gol. D Rodger's journey, Luffy's trip through Paradise, and Luffy's trip through the New World. This third journey has been mirroring and paralleling both Rodger's journey and Luffy's previous journey. Which means that very likely Luffy confronts Black Beard on the same island Rodger fought Rocks, and fights BB there (possibly with Buggy) alongside Smoker (the Garp analogue.) I'd also suspect that BB will give us the Enis Lobby reflection of "captured Robin" as he needs a way to find the One Piece. (Unless Buggy ends up being his way to find the One Piece as both Buggy and Shanks do know where it is already. Rodger shared the location with them before they split up.)
Hey Merphy if you want to read a different type of manga which is more adult more heart wrenching more brutal (not in a gory way but mentally) I think you should try oyasumi punpun (good night punpun) it's also one of the masterpiece's in the manga world
I love that Buggy is constantly failing upwards and falling into positions that he technically didn't earn. You mentioned fixating on a line that you just can't move past, and I'm like that as well. For me, it's when Roger said he arrived too early. What if they needed Buggy to be on Laugh Tale too? What if Buggy's awakened fruit is what will save the world. I hadn't considered splitting atoms, but people have brought that up. I'm wondering if the Red Line needs to be removed altogether for us to find the All Blue, and what better way to remove it than to split it apart like Buggy does with the parts of his body.
Another contender for "Most piratey pirate" is Blackbeard, he has lied cheated and stole his way to greater and greater power, doing everything underhanded and piratey...
Imagine Buggy arrives on Laugh Tale after everything has ended and someone takes a Photo of him on the island to send to the newspapers. "BUGGY HAS DISCOVERED THE ONE PIECE! HE'S THE NEW KING OF THE PIRATES!"
I could see Buggy Being declared pirate king in the papers. We have Luffy who wants nothing to do with the fame and is always trying to let others take the credit and we have Buggy willing to always take the credit for other peoples work.
I’m pretty sure it’s not that they think he’s a valuable pirate- it’s that he’s easy to read and easily manipulated. Having him there helps cover the news of Luffy, same reason they gave him the same bounty as law and kid. Letting the world know who the actual most wanted man is will only attach people to him more.
You're the first person I personally have seen call out Buggy's endgame significance so early, IMO you definitely have something that the "buggy god" meme is way too juicy for Oda not to tap into lol
yeah she did !
Yea even oda said buggy is his favorite so best believe oda gonna have buggy do something major in the end
Hype for the ultimate climactic fight of One Piece, God Usopp vs "Pirate God" Buggy - the clash of the gods.
I mean Kefka did the same thing. A clown that turned into a god. There were definitely already people saying this about Buggy but it got drowned in memes and new theories.
Buggy is 1000% deserving of his in world status.

I think it'd be shanks sacrificing himself for buggy
Maybe the real treasure is friends we meet along the way
Or what if Buggy let's the Treasure go to save Shanks so Shanks finally gives Buggy his Treasure since Shanks always lies about Treasure to Buggy
I always thought Buggy wil sacrifice himself for Straw Hats because Luffy is the one who Roger wait for. Buggy really loved his captain

Recording a one piece video during your vacation is on "Uzumaki Khan" levels of One Piece fan
I think what helps support this idea is from what Luffy said in dressrosa in that he doesn’t want to be a figurehead or someone important
Merphy you speaking my language and Wuggy D. King has been my Pirate King since impel down also I hope his bounty is near or slightly above Shanks and just love how insanely charismatic he is
I love Merphy when she goes full Buggy stan mode. ❤️

Very flashily done!
Buggy's nose is the fourth Road Poneglyph
Personally, I would love it if Buggy had an awakened DF the entire time, and he had been making his Buggy Bombs with it - the bombs had nothing in them, he just splits the atoms inside the balls to create as big or as small an explosion as he wants.
Hell, maybe he even has fully awakened Haki the whole time, and that was how he managed to evade Mihawks blade (kinda like how Katakuri evaded Luffy's punches)
I am on the side of buggy somehow sitting on the empty throne and being called the king of the world
AGREED!! I think that is most likely to happen at the end of One Piece. Luffy still holds the title of a PIRATE KING but Buggy becomes KING OF THE WORLD!!
I like the idea that maybe no one in One Piece knows what "atoms" are, but Vegapunk does. So he warns the WG on how potentially destructive Buggy's fruit is.
i love how happy & excited you get talking One piece and those are exactly one piece fans feelings talking about it
Love listening to you rambling about One Piece.

Oh and because Mihawk is to lazy to actually act on his own for now. That would give Buggy the crew and actual power he needs to be acknowledged as an legit emperor aswell
I 100% agree that Buggy and Shanks will arrive at LaughTale at the same time and having a bro-moment as they finally step foot on it.

That would without a doubt be a peak moment in the series. There is a lot to his character that has been yet to be revealed I think. I absolutely need to see Shanks reaction to Buggy's new status.
How much Buggy you want?
Merphy Napier: *YES*
Damn i knew you were going to love this development
buggy is such an inspirational clown 😂😂😭 (putting aside the criminal stuffs 😭)
Look at you making theories, how far we've come☺️
14:13 Mid way through ur head cannon / theory did u say Princess CRY BABY 🤣🤣🤣💀
Hey merphy, love ur love and hype for bugy. Could you also review monster by naoki urawasa
Your enthusiasm is absolutely contagious and makes me smile everytime I watch one of your videos. =)
Something I love about Buggy and Luffy is that early on they are shown as opposites haha.
Buggy is immune to swords but can be hurt by guns.
Luffy is immune to guns but can be hurt by swords.
It makes Me feel like Oda loves Buggy.
I’ve had my own personal theory that buggy will be the one to find the one piece.
•most of his grandiose claims come true and the only one left is him finding the one piece. Him becoming yonko is one of them
• the Stampede movie is known for foreshadowing a lot of the future of the story, such as showing the name of Laugh Tale king before the manga revealed it. One scene I never see people talk about is a scene where all the characters race for Roger’s treasure, heavily mirroring the race for the one piece. Right before luffy reaches the treasure, he’s stopped by Urouge out of all characters(the last supernova who hasn’t played a role in the story yet) and what do you know, buggy comes out on top and gets the treasure first.
• in the oden backstory shanks explicitly says that he AND buggy will build their own ships and find the one piece themselves, when he could have just said he himself will. Itll also just be the perfect place for their reunion.
It’ll be the greatest joke ever told, 30 years in the making. Though obviously something will happen to buggy before he could actually see what the treasure is after finding it and the Strawhats will be the ones to truly lay their eyes on it.
I imagining Rayleigh being proud to see two of his bois being the emperor of the seas.
Buggy emperor is fun and all but the pirate king title has to be luffy, I would genuinely be mad if after 20years buggy takes the title
Buggy is going to defeat Imu sama and take his/her place
I still want the scene when Law breaks apart Buggy's body and Buggy reassemble himself.
As a person who isn't keeping up with things but loves watching you fangirl over this: Buggy finding the One Piece first and becoming the Pirate King, gets killed/on the verge of death and has a heartfelt moment, Luffy takes offense to Buggy's near-demise...well, plotting is fun. XDD
When buggy awakens his fruit and splits the clouds during an attack making everyone believe he has conquerors haki.
Ive always thought Buggy was a member of the D who could potentially become the final strawhat during the Raftel arc, having travelled there with them following Shank’s death on Elbaf
I can see he becomes a deity for future pirates, while Ussop becomes a deity for civilians.
Buggy and Luffy's final fight is going to be a bookend of their first fight back in the East Blue and Buggy will accidentally awaken his devil fruit power and it's going to be amazing
I'm a new subscriber and Liam definitely hyped you up and you didn't disappoint. So thanks for being fun and entertaining. I do have a theory for you. Oda has 1 final send off for the "true pirate". And that is the eye patch. I know buggy can't be cut, but I feel a certain situation will happen to shanks or something and buggy has a hero moment which will cost him his eye and buggy will be the pirate that oda keeps hinting at will get the eye patch.
Hope your travels are nice, good video
Buggy having atomic bomb powers is one of the best off the wall theories I have ever heard.
The amount of "totally" in this video is totally appropriate
I think that you will really like Kingdom. It's a war story manga. It's just like every war that have existed, but like no war story that have ever been told
Buggy is the Neville Longbottom of the One Piece "prophecy" where all eyes are on the protagonist, but Buggy shows up to destiny's call too.
I’ll be honest, first time seeing one of your videos, and its, simple. Its a good video and its captivating, but yet simple, not a lot of people can just sit down and do this stuff, good work, underrated channel
About 15 years ago I started making this joke with my friends. It's crazy to see Buggy making it come true.
I can see where you are going and I'll add to it, well change something. I can see Shanks and Buggy crews fighting alongside "Sun God Luffy" and during that fight during Laugh Tale/Re-discovered God's Valley. Shanks helps Buggy comes to realization that this is Luffy's, Kid's, and Law's Era with Luffy becoming Pirate King and we shouldn't stand in the way of that. Buggy realizes what his potential is but he doesn't need to lie and deceive because his real crew loves him regardless unconditionally for being himself. He doesn't need to grand-stand and make a facade, he can be himself and use his influence in a more earnest way. As for his awakening, it's gonna be something off the wall
i hope you're enjoying your vacation
buggy is so much more in anime with that legend of the voice actor
Merph is a must follow on the OP YT.
The hole in your yonko meeting st laughing tale is how does everyone get all road ponygliph
I do think Buggy has a role in the ending, I have no idea what since Buggy is probably playing the role of "writing bomb." If Oda gets stuck in a writing corner he can throw Buggy at the wall and open a path forward. Which also means his role could be everything from minor to central. Predicting what is going to happen with Buggy is just going to be impossible.
Blackbeard, however, I feel is the Rocks Pirates analogue. The story has built essentially three mirrors. Gol. D Rodger's journey, Luffy's trip through Paradise, and Luffy's trip through the New World. This third journey has been mirroring and paralleling both Rodger's journey and Luffy's previous journey. Which means that very likely Luffy confronts Black Beard on the same island Rodger fought Rocks, and fights BB there (possibly with Buggy) alongside Smoker (the Garp analogue.) I'd also suspect that BB will give us the Enis Lobby reflection of "captured Robin" as he needs a way to find the One Piece. (Unless Buggy ends up being his way to find the One Piece as both Buggy and Shanks do know where it is already. Rodger shared the location with them before they split up.)
Hey Merphy if you want to read a different type of manga which is more adult more heart wrenching more brutal (not in a gory way but mentally) I think you should try oyasumi punpun (good night punpun) it's also one of the masterpiece's in the manga world
I love that Buggy is constantly failing upwards and falling into positions that he technically didn't earn.
You mentioned fixating on a line that you just can't move past, and I'm like that as well. For me, it's when Roger said he arrived too early. What if they needed Buggy to be on Laugh Tale too? What if Buggy's awakened fruit is what will save the world. I hadn't considered splitting atoms, but people have brought that up. I'm wondering if the Red Line needs to be removed altogether for us to find the All Blue, and what better way to remove it than to split it apart like Buggy does with the parts of his body.
Buggy is going to sit on the empty throne and be king of the world for the brief time before Dragon takes out the world government. Watch.
Another contender for "Most piratey pirate" is Blackbeard, he has lied cheated and stole his way to greater and greater power, doing everything underhanded and piratey...
Atomic Buggy Balls?? Merphy, you've just blown my mind.
Shanks and Buggy's first meeting with BB was interesting, Buggy that already knew BB was a monster shanks on the other hand was not so sure!
Imagine Buggy arrives on Laugh Tale after everything has ended and someone takes a Photo of him on the island to send to the newspapers.
"BUGGY HAS DISCOVERED THE ONE PIECE! HE'S THE NEW KING OF THE PIRATES!"
When the topic is One Piece you could film your sock puppet on a 240p nokia and i would watch/listen
Buggy's Awakening would give him the power to split the Red Line. That is something that would give him the title of Pirate God.
Merphy is so freaking adorable
LET'S GOOO!!
I've always liked mirroring Buggy and Usopp. Both are guys with funny noses with an ability to get people to trust them.
Keep the dream alive Merph.
"If Roger laughed when he found One Piece, I think we can say that this man who spreads joy is simply our greatest treasure." - 𝘼 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙣
Buggy's ego is writing cheques his body can't cash!
Shanks just wants buggy to fight blackbeard with him like good ol day lol
10:35 DO YOU FART ???
Buggy will spilt of the sky like Yonkos do with his Chop Chop Fruit
Sakazuki is my favourite character, just his presence alone made me love him
I could see Buggy Being declared pirate king in the papers. We have Luffy who wants nothing to do with the fame and is always trying to let others take the credit and we have Buggy willing to always take the credit for other peoples work.
I’m pretty sure it’s not that they think he’s a valuable pirate- it’s that he’s easy to read and easily manipulated. Having him there helps cover the news of Luffy, same reason they gave him the same bounty as law and kid. Letting the world know who the actual most wanted man is will only attach people to him more.
