In One Piece, it is inevitable that Luffy’s crew will eventually have to face one of the top members of the Cross Guild. The recent theory about One Piece has been proven by the inclusion of Mihawk in the Cross Guild, which was formed by Crocodile, placing him as one of the strongest villains. Mihawk becoming the strongest villain means that he will be one of the opponents faced by Luffy and the Government of the World.
One Piece chapter 1082 showed that Buggy has a dream of becoming the pirate king, and it is highly likely that he will be supported by Mihawk and Crocodile in the Cross Guild. They are trying to help Buggy fulfill his dream of becoming a pirate king, but they must face other powerful pirates, including the Yonkou like Shanks.
Shanks is not interested in becoming a pirate king, but he supports Luffy to be the replacement of Gol D. Roger, his former captain. Shanks even gave Luffy the Straw Hat, which was Gol D. Roger’s legacy.
The Cross Guild will not back down in making Buggy the pirate king, even if they have to face Shanks, who is one of his rivals. As Shanks’ rival, Mihawk will show all his skills if the only way to make Buggy the pirate king is by defeating the red-haired pirate.
If Shanks loses, there will be no other group left to support Luffy’s dream of becoming the pirate king. It will be easier to make Buggy the pirate king, and he seems to be the one who will succeed Gol D. Roger as a pirate king in One Piece.
Buggy is considered a strong contender to become the pirate king because he is one of Eiichiro Oda’s favorite characters. He easily became one of the Shichibukai and eventually became one of the Yonkou.
However, even though Buggy may become the pirate king, it will not affect Luffy’s dream of bringing peace to the All Blue. Kurohige is also an upcoming candidate to become the next Gol D. Roger.
There are many One Piece theories regarding who will become the pirate king, but only Eiichiro Oda can confirm it. With all the plot twists and turns in the story, all theories may only be partial predictions.
