Lord Buggy has proven to be one of the most unpredictable characters in the hit anime and manga series, One Piece. Once considered weak and unworthy of any attention, he has now developed a strong desire to find the legendary One Piece and become the Pirate King. What makes Buggy’s dream fascinating is the backstory behind it.
Amidst the development of the One Piece storyline, Buggy was portrayed as the typical antagonist who was obsessed with treasures. However, a recent manga chapter, 1082 titled “Let’s Go and Get It,” revealed a hidden dream that Lord Buggy has kept secret. He received news that his friend, Akagami Shanks, was making a move towards Laugh Tale, which sparked his excitement and inspired him to interrupt a conversation between Crocodile and Mihawk about building a utopia.
Buggy felt that their plans did not align with the philosophy of a true pirate. He then shared with them the story of his past with Shanks and revealed his desire to follow the footsteps of Roger, reach Laugh Tale, and become the Pirate King. He once sailed with Shanks to achieve their shared dream, but it came to an abrupt end after Shanks postponed their journey, leaving Buggy bitterly disappointed.
Now, after hearing about Shanks’ recent actions, Buggy’s pirate spirit has been reignited, and he has announced to all members of Cross Guild that they are on a mission to find One Piece. It is a significant turning point in the story since the four Yonko’s of the New World now have a common goal to achieve. Who knows, Lord Buggy might become the Pirate King that he has always wanted to be, considering he is one of Eiichiro Oda’s favorite characters.
In conclusion, the One Piece anime and manga series are getting more exciting with each passing chapter, and the character development of Lord Buggy is no exception. It was unexpected for viewers and readers to discover his hidden dream to become the Pirate King, but it makes his character more compelling. It remains to be seen what will happen as the hunt for One Piece continues, but fans of the series can all agree that Lord Buggy’s newfound motivation has made the plot even more intriguing.
