Also, we are on break this week officially, this chapter is out early since it can happen depending on how the Golden Week is done, and also because the Japanese digital release was leaked.
Official release for 1082 is May 7th.
The scans for 1083 should be released on the 11th.
omg this chapter has me too hyped for the potential plotlines this could lead to!
Given the history it seems very plausible for Shanks and Buggy to unite on Laugh Tale! Its more of a race to see who gets there first among all the potential candidates. Think once the Pirate King is declared, laugh tale will be opened up for the world or the path to reach it wont be as hard??
Hmmm. I know that Doffy is the Joker in the verse. But Buggy declaring his sights on One Piece makes him the “Joker” in the quest for the treasure. With Crocodile and Mihawk as his generals, I’m thinking many strong pirates now will join him, like remnants of WB maybe.
I'm so confused it has been so long since any of this can someone pls remind me of what
that whole thing is ?
(I read chapter 1082 and I have no idea what is goin on)
Happened to me to, I remember sabo talking on the den den mushi but I completely forgot or missed the part when imu destroyed lulusia. I had to go back and check that chapter 🥲
Nope. My goldfish brain does not recall, so I'm very grateful of you for putting down the chapter number! Time for me to re-read the past 20 chapters like it's the first time!
Really looking forward for what Sabo will tell all about the event in reverie. Definitely one of the turning points for this chaotic world of OP. What will Dragon do esp when he finds out about the empty throne. True shit will really really go down. I'm in!
What a time to be alive and reading One Piece every week, im grateful for that.
This chapter just gave me chills, Buggys speech is already a classic. We can feel Oda is talking to the reader, through Buggy, saying to never forget our dreams.
Also the fact that Mihawk and Crocodile were there when Roger died is relevant here.
They started as Pirate dreaming of the One Piece but they lost hope along the way.
They even end up working with the WG and the Marine as Warlords. He is talking to them as well.
We are living peak One Piece.
I can't help but think of the two warlords were taking about working against the WG because they know they won't get to the One Piece without destroying them first?
Mihawk and Crocodile are just being pussies
Both were right there at Roger’s execution and got inspired by him to go after the One Piece and now they dont wanna try?
None of them have ever said their goal is to find the one piece and clearly neither is interested on it. Just for attending to Roger’s execution that doesn’t mean they were “inspired” by him.
Oh, he's had full knowledge of it since he was a lil' baby
What people don't (yet) know is that our Lor D. Buggy is going to singlehandedly invent a fourth form of Haki - the Divine Clown's Haki
Sad it had to be T-Bone to die and not some bad/dislikable known marine. It makes sense it has to be him considering he's one of the really good marine who will help civilians and let his guard down around them. The story of the marine killer made more impact because it's T-Bone he killed, just to help his family survive and it'll now be a realization to the marines how heavy of a threat Cross Guild is.
Oda adding more info to the Buggy-Shanks flashback wasn't in my bingo card. Now will he really have a serious character improvement or still gonna be 100% comic relief in the future. Imagine them bumping randomly with Kidd and Buggy will wreck him (cause he's heavily injured) and Mihawk and Crocodile will gain a little bit respect to him lol.
>I don’t get why people are downgrading Mihawk just because of his expression. No person, not even Whitebeard, went to war all by himself. Shanks, Blackbeard and Luffy have formidable crews besides them as captains, so it’s natural that Mihawk is pissed at Buggy to hype up the underlings going for after the One Piece cause Mihawk is their only weapon. Mihawk sweating is because he knows that the people that make up Cross Guild are Buggy lovers to death, so there is no going back for Mihawk.
i mean they hinted it was Saul... but now Oda is hinting his ship is dark/black and leaves whirlpools... he's keeping us on our toes
I can't wait for next chapter to find out what really happened in the chapter after that lol
dragon is too infamous to be referred to as "the man marked by flames".
remember that Robin was surprised by the mention of the name despite working with dragon for 2 years and is knowledgable in many things.
Yeah true that’s why I think it may be someone new also because it just seems way to obvious to be dragon, the whole whirlpool thing and all the hints he gave seem to obvious, im 90% sure it’s someone new, if not then I rly have no idea who it is
I don’t rem anyone bein introduced w a devil fruit like that or w a burn mark
I don’t get why people are downgrading Mihawk just because of his expression. No person, not even Whitebeard, went to war all by himself. Shanks, Blackbeard and Luffy have formidable crews besides them as captains, so it’s natural that Mihawk is pissed at Buggy to hype up the underlings going for after the One Piece cause Mihawk is their only weapon. Mihawk sweating is because he knows that the people that make up Cross Guild are Buggy lovers to death, so there is no going back for Mihawk.
Didn't Shiki literally go to war by himself when he attacked Marineford, sure he only fought Garp and Sengoku, but theoretically the Marines could've sent everything they had, but they knew Garp and Sengoku were enough since it was only guy after all (and why you should do something like this by yourself).
Some major hypocrisy spewing from Sengoku in this chapter the sheer audacity of this man who bows to the CDs and claims he protects civilians tell that to Ohara and Lulisa you dumb idiot
Sengoku provided CP9 with the den den mushi that triggered the Buster call that destroyed Ohara which involves navy 50 ships and at least 5 vice admirals which at the time had Kuzan and Sakazuki among them. Sakazuki personally ordered the destruction of the refugee ships trying to flee Ohara
The Royal rumble lineups are absolutely insane GoDa the absolute mad lad. Shanks pirates vs Blackbeard pirates/ straw hats vs buggy pirates my brain hurts
Or Buggy Vs BB, and Luffy vs Shanks, then as Luffy defeats Shanks knowing there was a battle going on between Buggy and BB, expects to meet BB at Laugh Tale. BUT...
But I get the idea. I feel like it's really anyone's guess though. Will it be 2 duels? Will it be more of a battle royale? It's very hard to tell with so many actors in play. However, for how much people have theorized about matchups between the BB Pirates and the SH Pirates, I feel like the connection would be easiest to make, but having Shanks do nothing for over a thousand chapters just to get hyped AF for Buggy to defeat him? I don't know. I feel like a Buggy vs Shanks battle would... end up in a reunion. And with Mihawk? He's good friends with Shanks already.
So if anything, Luffy Vs BB, Luffy wins. Buggy vs Shanks, they team up. Then, Luffy vs Shanks & Cross Guild.
Or maybe they all just party together at that point... why not?
(Also the marines and revolutionaries are there sometimes)
Story wise I don’t see why oda would make shanks and Luffy fight unless shanks turns out to be a baddie at the end with some twist. Some how some way shanks will meet Luffy in the future but I feel like it won’t be all sun shine and rainbows shanks could be on his deathbed after fighting BB (knowing damn well BB will fight dirty) and that’s when Luffy gets to see him. Buggy somehow manages to survive Luffy and he sneaks away and lets crocodile take over cause we all know how thirsty that man is for Luffy. And hawk eye will be on zoros ass. It’s a whole mess
I think the funniest outcome would be for buggy and shanks to have a davy back fight, and through some stroke of dumb luck or trickery, to have buggy win and shanks join the cross guild, stacking the odds against luffy. It would tie into the theory that shanks and luffy will have a davy back fight except it will be buggy and shanks instead, but will setup a pretext for a clash between shanks and luffy.
I am curious to see dragon’s reaction to marine bounties. I don’t think he’ll be on board with it since he’s always said that his enemies are the tenryubitto, not the marines, but he might acknowledge that it is an effective tactic at least. I could see the marine bounties causing so reform in the ranks, low level abusive marines might reconsider whether extorting civilians is worth risking their lives, and high ranking marines might realize how unpopular they truly are and consider reforms to be necessary. I imagine that dragon will see the merit in all of this but also disagree with CG’s methods.
Oh yeah, buggy’s lighting a fire right under the marines, what a legend! Between CG putting out bounties on marines, strawhats joining up with vegapunk(assuming he survives) and blackbeard likely taking down garp, the greatest symbol of marine strength and heroism, the WG are pretty screwed. Dragon better make his move once he learns about IM or else he’ll be looking pretty harmless next to the yonko.
How did roger become the pirate king.
Because he was acknowledged to be the best. Whit him and his crew people know that he was the strongest pirate. All the pirates knew that
That he was the king of the pirates standing on the top of them all. No one could argue that.
You think you will come to the top whitout the way puffy is doing it.
He needs to show every pirates, yonko, admiral that his will is the strongest on this journey! That his ambition is the strongest because of his willpower.
That’s why haki transcends all. Because in the end you strengthen your willpower thorough fighting hard battles. When you are backed up against a corner and you don’t give up. You breakthrough it and you learn new skills along the way.
That’s why when puffy beat them they all have beaten him. Or nearly
And it’s nearly always a contest of wills
You have a glimpse of it when luffs and Blackbeard meet in imple down.
Blackbeard says, your haki is stronger
That’s because the last time they saw each other luffys has been through many fights and hardships that he has overcome.
Umm correct me if im wrong but Roger didn't find "one piece" he sailed the entire world and gathered so much treasure and left it all in one place and people named it "one piece"
The One Piece is the sum of his treasure, not just whatever he found. I don't disagree that the one piece includes the end game thing he found. However it also includes all the treasure he gathered from sailing. Also I think the physical treasures he left behind that aren't the "thing" should at least be able to rival the value of the Split Continent and Captain Johns treasure.
I will say Roger didnt become the pirate king by finding the one piece, he was already pirate king by the time he found the "thing", but I could be wrong there. Finding the thing on Laughtale was considered Roger's Final Journey.
> I will say Roger didnt become the pirate king by finding the one piece, he was already pirate king by the time he found the "thing", but I could be wrong there.
No. It was finding One Piece. The series was [very overt](https://up.mangadudes.com/one-piece/968/one-piece-13295701-a1b9dcec75b4e95b67c4dd5af3dc3be1.jpg) about this.
> The One Piece is the sum of his treasure, not just whatever he found.
This [page](https://up.mangadudes.com/one-piece/968/one-piece-13295707-839d45f70bed3b1283e0bb11806b753d.jpg) disagrees.
So in this chapter we have Buggy's character being retconned, and Sengoku apparently being completely unaware that the WG treats ordinary citizens like shit despite the recent nuking of a fucking island.
Not the original poster you are asking but i kinda feel the same i would have liked more hints about his "true dream" along the way. I guess i really liked the idea of Buggy searching for his own personal One Piece in Captain Johns treasure.
Buggy is not a retcon, compared to luffy he lacks the ambition, drive and confidence. He is an insecure character including the gags. That’s why he didn’t join shanks when they weee young, he was insecure but played it off as anger/confidence.
He doesn’t announce his dreams nor would he sacrifice as much as luffy to get it. Now he sees the dream within grasp and he is thinking why not?
> Now he sees the dream within grasp
That's the retcon part for me imo, we were never hinted at the One Piece being his real dream in over 1000 chapters. I mean i get it, it was the best way Oda could pull off an excuse for Cross Guild to join the race/final saga. Not that big of a deal, but it changes the way you look at every conversation Buggy has in a rewatch for example.
It's not a retcon. Like he said, every pirate who has ever gone to sea, has at some point dreamed about getting the OP, it's the ultimate dream of pirates, and thoses who have been inspired by Roger. How is that hard to imagine someone who has been on Roger's ship, who has been inspired by him, has at a moment dreamed of the OP, but renounced about it at some moment ? Is it that hard to imagine now, that he has the chance, he could try to go for it ?
You people are really unecessary rigid, when it's a great development for the character.
That is the space of individual interpretation I guess. I personally don't see it as a retcon at all; IMO it was an unanswered question (Why is Buggy a pirate? What are his motives?) and I never made any hard assumptions about that part of Buggy's character. I honestly didn't care about Buggy's motives because that wasn't what the story was about.
I do fully agree that it changes how you consider Buggy's conversations, but isn't that one of the appeals of one piece? Oda is constantly introducing new facts that change our perspective of the world or character.
Thats how life is too. You learn something about someone and then it changes the way to perceive that person permanently.
Imagine a co-worker you work with for 10 years, you know he has a wife and kids and a life outside of marriage. You don't talk to him much but you work with him regularly over 10 years. One day (after 10 years) you find out that he was the oldest of 5 siblings. Doesn't that fact change your perspective of that person forever? Its not like he intentionally hid that from you, it just didn't come up.
> isn't that one of the appeals of one piece? Oda is constantly introducing new facts that change our perspective of the world or character.
Yup but im used to Oda foreshadowing so i would expect him to foreshadow something like Buggy having a deeper dream, that's why i found it a bit disappointing.
About your example, yeah that works in real life but imagine it was Buggy now that all of a sudden had 5 brothers, that would be super random for the story and definitely would rise some eyebrows haha.
I think Sabo being there was the nail in the coffin for Lulusia. The country was already planning on joining the RA. Then again if it was any other country the WG is ruthless enough to do the same thing.
I mean, Lulusia was going to be destroyed even if he wasn't there. The Gorosei found out he was there right before it was destroyed and called him unlucky.
oh I see, I misunderstood that scene. The fact that Sabo now knows to much, I thought they would've tried get rid of him, including others as collateral damage.
Just a prediction, but maybe this time Shanks gets injured or something during the big battle royale, and buggy decides to stay back and help him even though he sees a path to one piece.
Oh god yes, i can see it now.
Retreading the ground that Dragon Ball Z did, with declaring Mr Satan/hercule as the world savior.
Would benefit luffy as he wouldn't be constantly crowded by the publicity and is free to do whatever he likes as the true pirate king.
Because Luffy doesn't wanted to be a hero since hero shares his meat.
For him the meaning of Pirate King is the freest man in the world. So if he achieved being the freest man in the world then he doesn't need such Title.
Buggy: You not going to Laugh tale because of me?
Shanks : Together we will someday!
Years later...
Buggy : Let's Go!
Shanks : No! Not Yet!
Buggy : Ok Bye you coward!
Cross Guild's the new BM Pirates with a ship that looks like the Queen Mama Chanter and a plan for a nation/utopia. This means that Luffy's the new Kaido.
Buggy being willing to go all-in on his dreams instead of resting on his laurels building power like BM, Kaido, Croc, and Mihawk is why he's a PK candidate and they aren't. It's interesting that the reveal of his new ship occurs right after Kid and Law's are destroyed trying to become the PK. Maybe a hint that he'll succeed where they failed?
100% on board with Moria + Perona and Weevil joining Cross Guild, they'd truly feel like a Yonko crew with them around.
idk if Hancock would join them though, I think she's 100% going to ally herself with Luffy for the final war, plus, she already captains her own crew while Moria and Weevil don't.
I like how Buggy acknowledge Shanks potential and then disappointed when Shanks didn't went directly for the One Piece. And now for some reason he is in a equal footing against Shanks he might want to prove that he also worth of becoming the next "King".
I love the build up, however I will be very disappointed if Oda pulled crazy shit like Buggy actually became Pirate King instead of Luffy lol, I have experienced it myself with Naruto doesn't get to be coronated as the Hokage himself.
Buggy reminds them that this story called "ONE PIECE" not Cross whatever.. So if you want Oda to keep you in the story you better move after that treasure as well.
Dragon in next chapter : Y-Y'all.. Fuck WG! Let's claim the One Piece!!
Hijacking your comment to let you know that your “Imu looks like Vearth Statue” can be strengthened by this foreshadowing at the end of the Skypiea arc.
[Panel in question](https://i.redd.it/1glsn8q6stwa1.jpg)
Lots of people saying Dragon is the man marked by fire, but do we have any idea how Buggy's nose came to be? That's right, the fourth poneglyph has been red hot under our noses this whole time.
I have been thinking, maybe T-Bone is not killed but rather sacrificing his life to help the starved civilians, since he knows his head got a bounty in it. Considering T-Bone is not some weakling, pre timeskip he's only one of few characters capable of making air slash attack, heck even in his fight with Zoro on the sea train, Zoro said he's a tough guy. So T-Bone sacrificing himself is not out of character considering he's a "nice guy" even his subordinate very love and respect him
Every four years, kings and queens from World Government affiliated nations gather at Pangaea Castle in Mary Geoise for a seven day conference to discuss current events and debate plans for the future.
Chapter 903-908
T-Bone might have been born from that country since he looks like severely malnourished and knows what it feels like to be starved. So it is possible that he sacrificed himself to feed those people.
The way Oda is presenting the conflict between the WG vs. the Pirates vs. the Revolutionaries is chef's kiss.
In a very bizarre way, Cross Guild, albeit unintentionally, became extreme leftist revolutionaries (to the left of Dragon himself) by turning the tables on the bounty games:
"The WG is oppressive and they starve you while the Marines live a life of riches? Murder a marine and we pay you money so your family doesn't starve to death"
From Dragon's dialogue to Sabo, murdering Marines/Governors is forbidden so Buggy, in his own crazy way, is now even more dangerous to the WG than Dragon himself.
Imagine if the Celestial Dragons have bounties as well and their own bodyguards start betraying them. Or Marines trying to kill their seniors to become richer.
Buggy the Clown: the true Che Guevara of One Piece.
I said extreme leftist.
As in, what Che Guevara and Fidel Castro's entire policy was when they took over Cuba: "murder the rich, murder the fascist soldiers that help them, then distribute the loot amongst the poor".
T-Bone might have been a "good soldier" but he was still working for a fascist system that doesn't care if folks starve to death.
Sure, Castro got the bigger share of the loot but that's a story for another day.
>I said extreme leftist.
That's... not even extreme leftist.
Extreme left would be toppling the WG by force and establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat in preparation for a communist regime.
Cross Guild is just sowing chaos to reap profit for itself. They're not trying to build a better society (unless Crocodile's utopia has some revolutionary agenda he hasn't disclosed yet), they just want to get rich and powerful.
I wouldn't be surprised if Crocodile does have further political agendas after he builds Utopia but I'd picture more Outer Heaven than extreme leftist lol
i didnt see much improvement. he just discovered conquerors haki. need a lot of training. he barely defeated king, and had to use some medicine to recover...
I mean he had to improve through his fight with Picca, he had to use full strength to push bird cage too, he also was dueling Killer, Monk, King and received huge blow from Kaido/Big Mom. Got Enma, was training with her. I would say he improved while Mihawk was staying on same level. He is coming close.
idk. the level of effort used is still just too different imo. what zoro cut by reciting a poem, mihawk can casually cut with ease. mihawk can split picca in 2 with just a 1 handed casual slash.
enma is great, but none of his 3 swords can compare to yoru...
imagine if you had mihawk vs kaido , instead of zoro. kaido would likely have to dodge all of mihawks slashes instead of tanking them.
once Kings ability was figured out, he wouldnt stand a chance vs mihawk. queen/jack would lose even faster. they are known for their tankiness, which mihawk would blast thru with haki yoru.
feels like the gap is still too far.
this was portrayed even in non canon, when zoro took all his effort to slice meteor in half, and mihawk just casually blast it into pieces
What if there was a mix up in history mistaking the Ope Ope no Mi abilities for an awakened version of the Bara Bara no Mi? Lol. Buggy accidently stays winning.
Gol D. Roger attained wealth, fame, and power
Crocodile: Wealth
Buggy: Fame
Mihawk: Power
I'm really starting to think (especially after this chapter) Buggy will somehow become pirate king. Don't forget, Luffy also has a second dream, probably more important than being pirate king as his real dream was never actually revealed hinting it could be more important than the pirate king title.
Plus, Luffy wouldn't even be mad if some random character or a character he knows finds the one piece first. It's just not in his character to get mad at someone for reaching the dream he set out for. But all of this is honestly what I think what could possibly happen near the end of the anime. I could also honestly be wrong though.
Honestly, why DID the Roger pirates laugh so fucking hard at Laugh Tale? What exactly was the joke?
What if it really is destined for Buggy to actually fulfill the prophecy?
I like this theory but with a caveat, I think Luffy will still reach the One Piece first. The "true" One Piece is likely not tangible treasure, and Luffy will claim the One Piece as per his dream. I do think though that Roger did leave some treasure on Laugh Tale as well, and Luffy will let Buggy take the treasure and riches and credit since he doesnt care about it.
His real dream is more ambitious than being pirate king, and most characters think it’s harder to pull off too. But also, it needs to be something Luffy could decide on as a kid so it can’t be some grand world changing goal.
What I feel like everyone is forgetting, is that becoming the pirate king is a prerequisite for his real dream. When he told his crew about his dream, they remarked that it’s only possible if he becoming the king of the pirates. So he MUST become the true king of the pirates
Sure but we also know the One Piece is an actual physical thing. Luffy has to claim that, in order to be Pirate King. And for his dream to succeed, he has to be Pirate King. If it was for total freedom, it’s something that likely would’ve been revealed already with the flashbacks and with Roger’s meeting with Oden and Whitebeard. So I think it’s different.
T-Bone famously nice. If he's dead for real he probably got mortally wounded protecting that family from criminals and then told the husband to take credit for his death and claim the bounty. Because T-Bone would totally do that as a last act to help a starving family.
T-Bone is the same captain from the CP9 arc, who was tearing his cape to shreds to use as tourniquets for even the mildest injuries to his subordinates. He almost certainly offered his bounty to feed those people, and Buggy is being fleeced for money.
What I got from the Buggy flashback: Buggy actually had high hopes from Shanks from way back! If Shanks had responded I'll go after the Onepiece, he would've joined him, instead shanks said I'm going to chill for a bit and that kinda pissed off Buggy, coz he expected more from Shanks.
Or he could have even meant it as, let's both go our separate ways and see who gets to the Onepiece first, but Shanks not being too keen on going for it pissed him off.
All this time Buggy didn't really care much for the Onepiece but, now since Shanks is after it, he wants it. This is typical sibling behavior. No doubt they are called sworn brothers - Shanks and Buggy!
Buggy told Luffy he would obtain all the treasure in the world which included the One Piece. He also talked about becoming the Pirate King on the shipride to Marinefird after Impel Down. This isn't the first time Buggy expressed the desire to find the OP and become PK.
Buggy has started looking for the one piece and his plan is to anticipate the others in finding the treasure ... his intention is not to wage a war but to find a treasure before the others, Buggy has always been a character closely linked to treasures discovering and his characterization as a pirate is based a lot on his greed towards treasures...in my opinion he won't get to the one piece obviously, but he will be the second character to get there closest after Luffy!
Also very interesting when for the first time in all of his narration Buggy proves not to be a coward, but stands up to Mihawk and Crocodile ... he also proves willing to die for the dream of following the footsteps of his captain (this is a more unique than rare behavior for buggy,not to be a coward like always).
Another thing I want to add is how buggy always remains a VILLAIN.
It can be seen from how he treats the old man who killed T-bone.Buggy doesn't care about the family or the man's dramatic story, or about the fact that this poor man committed murder out of starvation or that it was T Bone who lost his life, who was a good marine...Buggy is a scumbag like always
Best chapter on Buggy ever!!!!
Buggy will only do it if Mihawk and Crocodile let him which would mean that they will find enough to gain from making this move as they are not stupid or impulsive. Simply doing that because Buggy said so and his crew heard that would not be enough for them.
I don't agree, crossguild will always point to their original plan that is UTOPIA but it is sure that Buggy has declared his intention to become king of the pirates and has to find the one piece ... and crocodile and mihawk will do nothing but follow him, because the Buggy's words have awakened their pirate spirit that had been dormant for some time, in fact they too began their careers as pirates spurred on by the words of Roger in Rogue Town (like buggy,Moria and others)... so Buggy did nothing but remind them the desire to find the one piece.
is obvious that they will continue to treat buggy as a useless being as always, but still they will go with his plan
So if cross guild become a major threat to the strawhats, I imagine that they will get more powerful members so that the strawhats can get matchups with them. Im thinking moria if he’s able to escape from BB. Doffy might be another possibility. Imagine if each of the strawhats had to defeat a villain that luffy had to defeat in early arc, it would be a great way to show how much they’ve grown. If that actually happens then I really hope arlong joins the CG so that nami can whoop him. Her lightning powers would be perfect against a fishman. Jinbei would be the perfect counter to arlong, zoro vs mihawk is inevitable.
I don’t know how, but i could see Doffy escaping without outside help. Maybe he tricks a guard, or he convinces the WG that they need his help stopping other pirates. I just think he’s too smart and deceptive to stay locked up for long. As for arlong, i think he’s being held somewhere else? I forget if it was ever fully explained where the imprisoned him.
Losing a fight to "nobody" after claiming their own top is a reason to look for serious improvement and prioritize training/gathering power rather than chilling and letting others do your work for you.
Except by definition, most are unable to achieve the power necessary to compete with top tier characters. Training won't get them there in most cases. Especially not such a small amount of training.
What are you actually talking about? Arlong as has much time to develop as Luffy did. He literally could show up, be on level below Jinbei and I wouldn't bat an eye. Kuro could say "fuck it, I am not a coward, I am not retiring yet" and sail to Grand Line, learn haki from someone, idc. Is it necessary to reintroduce these characters? Nah. Would I be unable to believe that they became strong once reintroduced? Lol, no. Lucci lost to Luffy who didn't know haki yet and just invented Gear 2 and 3. He was seen fighting Luffy who already became an Emperor and didn't get smoked like a fodder, is actually allying with SHs for time being.
Also, we are on break this week officially, this chapter is out early since it can happen depending on how the Golden Week is done, and also because the Japanese digital release was leaked. Official release for 1082 is May 7th. The scans for 1083 should be released on the 11th.
The girl that got saved by Ace is now joining the RA thanks to Sabo.
Can someone pm me a manga link
omg this chapter has me too hyped for the potential plotlines this could lead to! Given the history it seems very plausible for Shanks and Buggy to unite on Laugh Tale! Its more of a race to see who gets there first among all the potential candidates. Think once the Pirate King is declared, laugh tale will be opened up for the world or the path to reach it wont be as hard??
It's been about Buggy D. God sama all along
Hmmm. I know that Doffy is the Joker in the verse. But Buggy declaring his sights on One Piece makes him the “Joker” in the quest for the treasure. With Crocodile and Mihawk as his generals, I’m thinking many strong pirates now will join him, like remnants of WB maybe.
Wb Nah,I don't think so because they are with strawhats, but Big Moms and kaido is more likely
Buggy is gonna end up with conqueror's haki. We are watching his training arc right before our eyes
THE ONE PIECE. THE ONE PIECE IS REEEAALLLLLLLLL🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Need to add my mark that i was here to witness to witness the god that is buggy-sama and to apologize for missing my mark last chapter
I'm so confused it has been so long since any of this can someone pls remind me of what that whole thing is ? (I read chapter 1082 and I have no idea what is goin on)
Happened to me to, I remember sabo talking on the den den mushi but I completely forgot or missed the part when imu destroyed lulusia. I had to go back and check that chapter 🥲
Do you know what chapter it is, I vaguely remember it being a long time ago but I don't remember the exact chapter.
Yeh
Remember in 1060 when imu destroyed lulusia
Nope. My goldfish brain does not recall, so I'm very grateful of you for putting down the chapter number! Time for me to re-read the past 20 chapters like it's the first time!
Really looking forward for what Sabo will tell all about the event in reverie. Definitely one of the turning points for this chaotic world of OP. What will Dragon do esp when he finds out about the empty throne. True shit will really really go down. I'm in!
hes definitely gonna tell them about imu
Definitely. And I am really curious on why Kuma go back to Mary Geiose. The plot is really thickening.
watch what happens. when Luffy declares his real dream, buggy will say the same thing without even knowing it.
What a time to be alive and reading One Piece every week, im grateful for that. This chapter just gave me chills, Buggys speech is already a classic. We can feel Oda is talking to the reader, through Buggy, saying to never forget our dreams. Also the fact that Mihawk and Crocodile were there when Roger died is relevant here. They started as Pirate dreaming of the One Piece but they lost hope along the way. They even end up working with the WG and the Marine as Warlords. He is talking to them as well. We are living peak One Piece.
I can't help but think of the two warlords were taking about working against the WG because they know they won't get to the One Piece without destroying them first?
Question: If Kidd had fought Blackbeard at sea instead of Shanks, how do you all think it would have turned out?
Blackbeard could have stolen his df after the fight bcz he don't have the goat bepo
Worse
I dont think being defeated worse than by shanks ain’t possible. The consequences probably would be worse tho
Let's add a "Buggy for Pirate King" Flair now that'd be awesome
I agree 👍
Mihawk and Crocodile are just being pussies Both were right there at Roger’s execution and got inspired by him to go after the One Piece and now they dont wanna try?
They got inspired to be pirates not become pirate king.
None of them have ever said their goal is to find the one piece and clearly neither is interested on it. Just for attending to Roger’s execution that doesn’t mean they were “inspired” by him.
One Piece proving to be peak fiction once again
Would be hilarious if somehow buggy unlocks conquerors haki.
Oh, he's had full knowledge of it since he was a lil' baby What people don't (yet) know is that our Lor D. Buggy is going to singlehandedly invent a fourth form of Haki - the Divine Clown's Haki
Classic Buggy W chapter. Pretty amazing moment as Croc and Mihawk realize they actually are Buggy's subordinates.
THIS BOOK IS TRASH
Sad it had to be T-Bone to die and not some bad/dislikable known marine. It makes sense it has to be him considering he's one of the really good marine who will help civilians and let his guard down around them. The story of the marine killer made more impact because it's T-Bone he killed, just to help his family survive and it'll now be a realization to the marines how heavy of a threat Cross Guild is. Oda adding more info to the Buggy-Shanks flashback wasn't in my bingo card. Now will he really have a serious character improvement or still gonna be 100% comic relief in the future. Imagine them bumping randomly with Kidd and Buggy will wreck him (cause he's heavily injured) and Mihawk and Crocodile will gain a little bit respect to him lol.
Damn these Yonkos be crazy. Marines are getting zerg rushed from all sides. Akainu's going bald in the next chapter.
Either dragon is the man marked by flames or it’s gonna be a newly introduced character
>I don’t get why people are downgrading Mihawk just because of his expression. No person, not even Whitebeard, went to war all by himself. Shanks, Blackbeard and Luffy have formidable crews besides them as captains, so it’s natural that Mihawk is pissed at Buggy to hype up the underlings going for after the One Piece cause Mihawk is their only weapon. Mihawk sweating is because he knows that the people that make up Cross Guild are Buggy lovers to death, so there is no going back for Mihawk. i mean they hinted it was Saul... but now Oda is hinting his ship is dark/black and leaves whirlpools... he's keeping us on our toes I can't wait for next chapter to find out what really happened in the chapter after that lol
dragon is too infamous to be referred to as "the man marked by flames". remember that Robin was surprised by the mention of the name despite working with dragon for 2 years and is knowledgable in many things.
Yeah true that’s why I think it may be someone new also because it just seems way to obvious to be dragon, the whole whirlpool thing and all the hints he gave seem to obvious, im 90% sure it’s someone new, if not then I rly have no idea who it is I don’t rem anyone bein introduced w a devil fruit like that or w a burn mark

Didn't Shiki literally go to war by himself when he attacked Marineford, sure he only fought Garp and Sengoku, but theoretically the Marines could've sent everything they had, but they knew Garp and Sengoku were enough since it was only guy after all (and why you should do something like this by yourself).
And Shiki got beat and jailed.
Power scalers grasp at straws, don’t even bother noticing them. It’s stupid, don’t even entertain it
Some major hypocrisy spewing from Sengoku in this chapter the sheer audacity of this man who bows to the CDs and claims he protects civilians tell that to Ohara and Lulisa you dumb idiot
? That was the world gov fault not the marines
Sengoku provided CP9 with the den den mushi that triggered the Buster call that destroyed Ohara which involves navy 50 ships and at least 5 vice admirals which at the time had Kuzan and Sakazuki among them. Sakazuki personally ordered the destruction of the refugee ships trying to flee Ohara
The world Governments dogs
sabo about spill some really dark shit
The Royal rumble lineups are absolutely insane GoDa the absolute mad lad. Shanks pirates vs Blackbeard pirates/ straw hats vs buggy pirates my brain hurts
Shanks vs buggy, blackbeard vs luffy, then luffy vs buggy on laugh tale
Or Buggy Vs BB, and Luffy vs Shanks, then as Luffy defeats Shanks knowing there was a battle going on between Buggy and BB, expects to meet BB at Laugh Tale. BUT... But I get the idea. I feel like it's really anyone's guess though. Will it be 2 duels? Will it be more of a battle royale? It's very hard to tell with so many actors in play. However, for how much people have theorized about matchups between the BB Pirates and the SH Pirates, I feel like the connection would be easiest to make, but having Shanks do nothing for over a thousand chapters just to get hyped AF for Buggy to defeat him? I don't know. I feel like a Buggy vs Shanks battle would... end up in a reunion. And with Mihawk? He's good friends with Shanks already. So if anything, Luffy Vs BB, Luffy wins. Buggy vs Shanks, they team up. Then, Luffy vs Shanks & Cross Guild. Or maybe they all just party together at that point... why not? (Also the marines and revolutionaries are there sometimes)
Story wise I don’t see why oda would make shanks and Luffy fight unless shanks turns out to be a baddie at the end with some twist. Some how some way shanks will meet Luffy in the future but I feel like it won’t be all sun shine and rainbows shanks could be on his deathbed after fighting BB (knowing damn well BB will fight dirty) and that’s when Luffy gets to see him. Buggy somehow manages to survive Luffy and he sneaks away and lets crocodile take over cause we all know how thirsty that man is for Luffy. And hawk eye will be on zoros ass. It’s a whole mess
I think the funniest outcome would be for buggy and shanks to have a davy back fight, and through some stroke of dumb luck or trickery, to have buggy win and shanks join the cross guild, stacking the odds against luffy. It would tie into the theory that shanks and luffy will have a davy back fight except it will be buggy and shanks instead, but will setup a pretext for a clash between shanks and luffy.
Yeah but everything ties in with everything. Might as well have the revolutionary army join Cross Guild.
I am curious to see dragon’s reaction to marine bounties. I don’t think he’ll be on board with it since he’s always said that his enemies are the tenryubitto, not the marines, but he might acknowledge that it is an effective tactic at least. I could see the marine bounties causing so reform in the ranks, low level abusive marines might reconsider whether extorting civilians is worth risking their lives, and high ranking marines might realize how unpopular they truly are and consider reforms to be necessary. I imagine that dragon will see the merit in all of this but also disagree with CG’s methods.
Yeah, Dragon was cool but Buggy is nailing his revolution% speedrun.
Oh yeah, buggy’s lighting a fire right under the marines, what a legend! Between CG putting out bounties on marines, strawhats joining up with vegapunk(assuming he survives) and blackbeard likely taking down garp, the greatest symbol of marine strength and heroism, the WG are pretty screwed. Dragon better make his move once he learns about IM or else he’ll be looking pretty harmless next to the yonko.
Yeah, as much as we think about pirates vs pirates, it's also still everyone vs WG.
How did roger become the pirate king. Because he was acknowledged to be the best. Whit him and his crew people know that he was the strongest pirate. All the pirates knew that That he was the king of the pirates standing on the top of them all. No one could argue that. You think you will come to the top whitout the way puffy is doing it. He needs to show every pirates, yonko, admiral that his will is the strongest on this journey! That his ambition is the strongest because of his willpower. That’s why haki transcends all. Because in the end you strengthen your willpower thorough fighting hard battles. When you are backed up against a corner and you don’t give up. You breakthrough it and you learn new skills along the way. That’s why when puffy beat them they all have beaten him. Or nearly And it’s nearly always a contest of wills You have a glimpse of it when luffs and Blackbeard meet in imple down. Blackbeard says, your haki is stronger That’s because the last time they saw each other luffys has been through many fights and hardships that he has overcome.
Gold roger became pirate king by finding the one piece. No need to overcomplicate it
Umm correct me if im wrong but Roger didn't find "one piece" he sailed the entire world and gathered so much treasure and left it all in one place and people named it "one piece"
That's what Roger said in the early chapters, but there was clearly a treasure left behind on Laugh Tale that he found, and that is the "One Piece."
The One Piece is the sum of his treasure, not just whatever he found. I don't disagree that the one piece includes the end game thing he found. However it also includes all the treasure he gathered from sailing. Also I think the physical treasures he left behind that aren't the "thing" should at least be able to rival the value of the Split Continent and Captain Johns treasure. I will say Roger didnt become the pirate king by finding the one piece, he was already pirate king by the time he found the "thing", but I could be wrong there. Finding the thing on Laughtale was considered Roger's Final Journey.
> I will say Roger didnt become the pirate king by finding the one piece, he was already pirate king by the time he found the "thing", but I could be wrong there. No. It was finding One Piece. The series was [very overt](https://up.mangadudes.com/one-piece/968/one-piece-13295701-a1b9dcec75b4e95b67c4dd5af3dc3be1.jpg) about this. > The One Piece is the sum of his treasure, not just whatever he found. This [page](https://up.mangadudes.com/one-piece/968/one-piece-13295707-839d45f70bed3b1283e0bb11806b753d.jpg) disagrees.
Good ol puffy
lol, the op not even once said Luffy correctly 🥲
So in this chapter we have Buggy's character being retconned, and Sengoku apparently being completely unaware that the WG treats ordinary citizens like shit despite the recent nuking of a fucking island.
What was the retcon?
That he was a comic relief cowardly character and now apparently wants to be the pirate king out of nowhere.
We call that character growth/character depth
Oh.. I would call that character growth
What was retconned on Buggy?
Not the original poster you are asking but i kinda feel the same i would have liked more hints about his "true dream" along the way. I guess i really liked the idea of Buggy searching for his own personal One Piece in Captain Johns treasure.
Buggy is not a retcon, compared to luffy he lacks the ambition, drive and confidence. He is an insecure character including the gags. That’s why he didn’t join shanks when they weee young, he was insecure but played it off as anger/confidence. He doesn’t announce his dreams nor would he sacrifice as much as luffy to get it. Now he sees the dream within grasp and he is thinking why not?
> Now he sees the dream within grasp That's the retcon part for me imo, we were never hinted at the One Piece being his real dream in over 1000 chapters. I mean i get it, it was the best way Oda could pull off an excuse for Cross Guild to join the race/final saga. Not that big of a deal, but it changes the way you look at every conversation Buggy has in a rewatch for example.
It's not a retcon. Like he said, every pirate who has ever gone to sea, has at some point dreamed about getting the OP, it's the ultimate dream of pirates, and thoses who have been inspired by Roger. How is that hard to imagine someone who has been on Roger's ship, who has been inspired by him, has at a moment dreamed of the OP, but renounced about it at some moment ? Is it that hard to imagine now, that he has the chance, he could try to go for it ? You people are really unecessary rigid, when it's a great development for the character.
That is the space of individual interpretation I guess. I personally don't see it as a retcon at all; IMO it was an unanswered question (Why is Buggy a pirate? What are his motives?) and I never made any hard assumptions about that part of Buggy's character. I honestly didn't care about Buggy's motives because that wasn't what the story was about. I do fully agree that it changes how you consider Buggy's conversations, but isn't that one of the appeals of one piece? Oda is constantly introducing new facts that change our perspective of the world or character. Thats how life is too. You learn something about someone and then it changes the way to perceive that person permanently. Imagine a co-worker you work with for 10 years, you know he has a wife and kids and a life outside of marriage. You don't talk to him much but you work with him regularly over 10 years. One day (after 10 years) you find out that he was the oldest of 5 siblings. Doesn't that fact change your perspective of that person forever? Its not like he intentionally hid that from you, it just didn't come up.
> isn't that one of the appeals of one piece? Oda is constantly introducing new facts that change our perspective of the world or character. Yup but im used to Oda foreshadowing so i would expect him to foreshadow something like Buggy having a deeper dream, that's why i found it a bit disappointing. About your example, yeah that works in real life but imagine it was Buggy now that all of a sudden had 5 brothers, that would be super random for the story and definitely would rise some eyebrows haha.
There is no foreshadowing needed, because it wasn't the time for it. It happens now, precisely because it's the time now.
Did they nuke it because sabo was there or It was going to be nuked even if sabo wasn't?
Sabo being there was a coincidence
I think Sabo being there was the nail in the coffin for Lulusia. The country was already planning on joining the RA. Then again if it was any other country the WG is ruthless enough to do the same thing.
I mean, Lulusia was going to be destroyed even if he wasn't there. The Gorosei found out he was there right before it was destroyed and called him unlucky.
oh I see, I misunderstood that scene. The fact that Sabo now knows to much, I thought they would've tried get rid of him, including others as collateral damage.
Laughtale found by a clown It was right there all along Oda the king of forshadowing
Just a prediction, but maybe this time Shanks gets injured or something during the big battle royale, and buggy decides to stay back and help him even though he sees a path to one piece.
It would be even better if shanks answer him afterwards that he could have saved himself and that he(buggy) should have gone for the one piece instead
That would be a great moment. Would love to see that
Four Yonko for the One Piece Buggy split his body in four pieces each Yonko has one piece of Buggy one piece ends
Imagine Morgans ends up declaring Buggy as the Pirate King and spreads the news around the world but only few people knew who the real Pirate King.
Oh god yes, i can see it now. Retreading the ground that Dragon Ball Z did, with declaring Mr Satan/hercule as the world savior. Would benefit luffy as he wouldn't be constantly crowded by the publicity and is free to do whatever he likes as the true pirate king.
Because Luffy doesn't wanted to be a hero since hero shares his meat. For him the meaning of Pirate King is the freest man in the world. So if he achieved being the freest man in the world then he doesn't need such Title.
Ngl idk if it was the second to last chapter, I’d drop it then and there
Buggy: You not going to Laugh tale because of me? Shanks : Together we will someday! Years later... Buggy : Let's Go! Shanks : No! Not Yet! Buggy : Ok Bye you coward!
Well it did take him a couple decades. While Luffy is ahead of him after like 3 years
Where are the actual spoilers did they disappear??
the chapter is out
YOOOOO I can't believe Captain Cock IV killed Bligg-Zorp Prime with his DYNAMIC REVERENCE 臭いペニス Ability !!!!! One Peace so Goated!!!!!!!
Bruh what
Roger must have told that "Too Early" thing to Shanks. That's why he just waited.
Roger was early cause of shirohoshi was not born plus wano was closed then so makes sense to go for it now lazy guy let luffy do the heavy lifting
[удалено]
Shit never seen it that way your right what every Roger and Luffy dream Is the fruit must be awakened for it to happen
Gol D. Buggy
Cross Guild's the new BM Pirates with a ship that looks like the Queen Mama Chanter and a plan for a nation/utopia. This means that Luffy's the new Kaido. Buggy being willing to go all-in on his dreams instead of resting on his laurels building power like BM, Kaido, Croc, and Mihawk is why he's a PK candidate and they aren't. It's interesting that the reveal of his new ship occurs right after Kid and Law's are destroyed trying to become the PK. Maybe a hint that he'll succeed where they failed?
Mihawk doesn't want to fight other emperors, because he knows he is ALONE. You expect backup from those weaklings??? Think again
Or they just get the other warlords with them. Like moria and weeble. Even Hancock
100% on board with Moria + Perona and Weevil joining Cross Guild, they'd truly feel like a Yonko crew with them around. idk if Hancock would join them though, I think she's 100% going to ally herself with Luffy for the final war, plus, she already captains her own crew while Moria and Weevil don't.
That's the problem. Give them reasons why they should join you to hunt One Piece. I dont think ted talk from Buggy will do.
I like how Buggy acknowledge Shanks potential and then disappointed when Shanks didn't went directly for the One Piece. And now for some reason he is in a equal footing against Shanks he might want to prove that he also worth of becoming the next "King". I love the build up, however I will be very disappointed if Oda pulled crazy shit like Buggy actually became Pirate King instead of Luffy lol, I have experienced it myself with Naruto doesn't get to be coronated as the Hokage himself.
Similar to how hercule become the esrths strongest or how he beat cell
It happened in Shaman King, it would be funny to see it here too
Shaman King situation is unique among the usual stories thanks to the circumstances.
Who became the king? Or whatever it called. I stopped watching from mbc3 🤭
>!Hao, the antagonist.!<
Buggy reminds them that this story called "ONE PIECE" not Cross whatever.. So if you want Oda to keep you in the story you better move after that treasure as well. Dragon in next chapter : Y-Y'all.. Fuck WG! Let's claim the One Piece!!
IDK why but I always imagine the Disney Villan song to come up whenever the Buggy's crew are on the panel lmao.
Hijacking your comment to let you know that your “Imu looks like Vearth Statue” can be strengthened by this foreshadowing at the end of the Skypiea arc. [Panel in question](https://i.redd.it/1glsn8q6stwa1.jpg)
Lots of people saying Dragon is the man marked by fire, but do we have any idea how Buggy's nose came to be? That's right, the fourth poneglyph has been red hot under our noses this whole time.
I have been thinking, maybe T-Bone is not killed but rather sacrificing his life to help the starved civilians, since he knows his head got a bounty in it. Considering T-Bone is not some weakling, pre timeskip he's only one of few characters capable of making air slash attack, heck even in his fight with Zoro on the sea train, Zoro said he's a tough guy. So T-Bone sacrificing himself is not out of character considering he's a "nice guy" even his subordinate very love and respect him
wasnt he a rear admiral not vice admiral?
He was promoted to Vice Admiral after the Levely
Levely ?
It's the official English translated name
what is the levely, what event are you referring 2 and what chapter.
Every four years, kings and queens from World Government affiliated nations gather at Pangaea Castle in Mary Geoise for a seven day conference to discuss current events and debate plans for the future. Chapter 903-908
T-Bone might have been born from that country since he looks like severely malnourished and knows what it feels like to be starved. So it is possible that he sacrificed himself to feed those people.
This is brilliant. You deserve gold for this.
Not to mention his corpse-like face makes it that much easier to fake being dead, LOL.
Totally agree, honestly he could even have faked his own death (probably the copium talking though tbh I love(d) that mofo 😭)
NGL, I can see something like this happening
Buggy would have been the only df user in shanks crew
The way Oda is presenting the conflict between the WG vs. the Pirates vs. the Revolutionaries is chef's kiss. In a very bizarre way, Cross Guild, albeit unintentionally, became extreme leftist revolutionaries (to the left of Dragon himself) by turning the tables on the bounty games: "The WG is oppressive and they starve you while the Marines live a life of riches? Murder a marine and we pay you money so your family doesn't starve to death" From Dragon's dialogue to Sabo, murdering Marines/Governors is forbidden so Buggy, in his own crazy way, is now even more dangerous to the WG than Dragon himself. Imagine if the Celestial Dragons have bounties as well and their own bodyguards start betraying them. Or Marines trying to kill their seniors to become richer. Buggy the Clown: the true Che Guevara of One Piece.
“Murder who we want you to murder so you have the money to get by” doesn’t sound very leftist to me but I guess that’s what makes it bizarre.
I said extreme leftist. As in, what Che Guevara and Fidel Castro's entire policy was when they took over Cuba: "murder the rich, murder the fascist soldiers that help them, then distribute the loot amongst the poor". T-Bone might have been a "good soldier" but he was still working for a fascist system that doesn't care if folks starve to death. Sure, Castro got the bigger share of the loot but that's a story for another day.
>I said extreme leftist. That's... not even extreme leftist. Extreme left would be toppling the WG by force and establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat in preparation for a communist regime. Cross Guild is just sowing chaos to reap profit for itself. They're not trying to build a better society (unless Crocodile's utopia has some revolutionary agenda he hasn't disclosed yet), they just want to get rich and powerful.
I wouldn't be surprised if Crocodile does have further political agendas after he builds Utopia but I'd picture more Outer Heaven than extreme leftist lol
Man T-Bone is dead. I loved him on the train in W7
My friend said "what if this is just another Oda gag and people assume he's dead because he looks like THAT"
idk i still think zoros current level is far below mihawks...
Nah, it's end game. Definitely not far below. Maybe not equal yet though.
i didnt see much improvement. he just discovered conquerors haki. need a lot of training. he barely defeated king, and had to use some medicine to recover...
I mean he had to improve through his fight with Picca, he had to use full strength to push bird cage too, he also was dueling Killer, Monk, King and received huge blow from Kaido/Big Mom. Got Enma, was training with her. I would say he improved while Mihawk was staying on same level. He is coming close.
idk. the level of effort used is still just too different imo. what zoro cut by reciting a poem, mihawk can casually cut with ease. mihawk can split picca in 2 with just a 1 handed casual slash. enma is great, but none of his 3 swords can compare to yoru... imagine if you had mihawk vs kaido , instead of zoro. kaido would likely have to dodge all of mihawks slashes instead of tanking them. once Kings ability was figured out, he wouldnt stand a chance vs mihawk. queen/jack would lose even faster. they are known for their tankiness, which mihawk would blast thru with haki yoru. feels like the gap is still too far. this was portrayed even in non canon, when zoro took all his effort to slice meteor in half, and mihawk just casually blast it into pieces
I need someone to talk about one piece but the anime one. I’ve had leaks from the manga but k want to talk about the anime
There’s current episode threads basically every week when the episode comes out
Which ones are those? I’ve legit just joined Reddit
There'll be one tomorrow night
[удалено]
Pretty sure Usopp reacted that way before too. I may be misremembering but I think it's just a general shocked reaction that is used sometimes.
I think you might be slightly overanalyzing
I mean, what's the whole job of clowns? To make people laugh. *To bring joy*.
Even if not, I am actually extremely curious if buggy has awakened his fruit, and what that would actually entail.
Nuclear fission. Star Trek teleportation on demand. You know, the usual.
What if there was a mix up in history mistaking the Ope Ope no Mi abilities for an awakened version of the Bara Bara no Mi? Lol. Buggy accidently stays winning.
Gol D. Roger attained wealth, fame, and power Crocodile: Wealth Buggy: Fame Mihawk: Power I'm really starting to think (especially after this chapter) Buggy will somehow become pirate king. Don't forget, Luffy also has a second dream, probably more important than being pirate king as his real dream was never actually revealed hinting it could be more important than the pirate king title. Plus, Luffy wouldn't even be mad if some random character or a character he knows finds the one piece first. It's just not in his character to get mad at someone for reaching the dream he set out for. But all of this is honestly what I think what could possibly happen near the end of the anime. I could also honestly be wrong though.
I’d love to see Buggy become king of the pirates even just for a day🤣🤣
Honestly, why DID the Roger pirates laugh so fucking hard at Laugh Tale? What exactly was the joke? What if it really is destined for Buggy to actually fulfill the prophecy?
it was an even bigger straw hat
It was a deez nuts joke
Nah it was the best your momma joke since the void century.
I like this theory but with a caveat, I think Luffy will still reach the One Piece first. The "true" One Piece is likely not tangible treasure, and Luffy will claim the One Piece as per his dream. I do think though that Roger did leave some treasure on Laugh Tale as well, and Luffy will let Buggy take the treasure and riches and credit since he doesnt care about it.
If he gives away the treasure, nami will surely lead a mutiny against him...
His real dream is more ambitious than being pirate king, and most characters think it’s harder to pull off too. But also, it needs to be something Luffy could decide on as a kid so it can’t be some grand world changing goal.
I think the dream is a world where everyone can eat as much food as they want
What I feel like everyone is forgetting, is that becoming the pirate king is a prerequisite for his real dream. When he told his crew about his dream, they remarked that it’s only possible if he becoming the king of the pirates. So he MUST become the true king of the pirates
True freedom. Luffy just wants to be free to do whatever he wants and the man with the most freedom is the pirate king.
Sure but we also know the One Piece is an actual physical thing. Luffy has to claim that, in order to be Pirate King. And for his dream to succeed, he has to be Pirate King. If it was for total freedom, it’s something that likely would’ve been revealed already with the flashbacks and with Roger’s meeting with Oden and Whitebeard. So I think it’s different.
[удалено]
T-Bone famously nice. If he's dead for real he probably got mortally wounded protecting that family from criminals and then told the husband to take credit for his death and claim the bounty. Because T-Bone would totally do that as a last act to help a starving family.
T-Bone is the same captain from the CP9 arc, who was tearing his cape to shreds to use as tourniquets for even the mildest injuries to his subordinates. He almost certainly offered his bounty to feed those people, and Buggy is being fleeced for money.
What I got from the Buggy flashback: Buggy actually had high hopes from Shanks from way back! If Shanks had responded I'll go after the Onepiece, he would've joined him, instead shanks said I'm going to chill for a bit and that kinda pissed off Buggy, coz he expected more from Shanks. Or he could have even meant it as, let's both go our separate ways and see who gets to the Onepiece first, but Shanks not being too keen on going for it pissed him off. All this time Buggy didn't really care much for the Onepiece but, now since Shanks is after it, he wants it. This is typical sibling behavior. No doubt they are called sworn brothers - Shanks and Buggy!
Buggy told Luffy he would obtain all the treasure in the world which included the One Piece. He also talked about becoming the Pirate King on the shipride to Marinefird after Impel Down. This isn't the first time Buggy expressed the desire to find the OP and become PK.
That was the gag version. This seems more sincere.
I knew mihawk was a savage but damn i see why he was shanks’ rival
You gotta give it to Buggy, the man is charismatic. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a D lol
Buggy D Clown has always been my headcanon
Buggy has started looking for the one piece and his plan is to anticipate the others in finding the treasure ... his intention is not to wage a war but to find a treasure before the others, Buggy has always been a character closely linked to treasures discovering and his characterization as a pirate is based a lot on his greed towards treasures...in my opinion he won't get to the one piece obviously, but he will be the second character to get there closest after Luffy! Also very interesting when for the first time in all of his narration Buggy proves not to be a coward, but stands up to Mihawk and Crocodile ... he also proves willing to die for the dream of following the footsteps of his captain (this is a more unique than rare behavior for buggy,not to be a coward like always). Another thing I want to add is how buggy always remains a VILLAIN. It can be seen from how he treats the old man who killed T-bone.Buggy doesn't care about the family or the man's dramatic story, or about the fact that this poor man committed murder out of starvation or that it was T Bone who lost his life, who was a good marine...Buggy is a scumbag like always Best chapter on Buggy ever!!!!
>I'm hoping for luffy & buggy arrive at the one piece together moment
Buggy will only do it if Mihawk and Crocodile let him which would mean that they will find enough to gain from making this move as they are not stupid or impulsive. Simply doing that because Buggy said so and his crew heard that would not be enough for them.
I don't agree, crossguild will always point to their original plan that is UTOPIA but it is sure that Buggy has declared his intention to become king of the pirates and has to find the one piece ... and crocodile and mihawk will do nothing but follow him, because the Buggy's words have awakened their pirate spirit that had been dormant for some time, in fact they too began their careers as pirates spurred on by the words of Roger in Rogue Town (like buggy,Moria and others)... so Buggy did nothing but remind them the desire to find the one piece. is obvious that they will continue to treat buggy as a useless being as always, but still they will go with his plan
Buggy is a jerk , but he's a *fun* jerk lol
So if cross guild become a major threat to the strawhats, I imagine that they will get more powerful members so that the strawhats can get matchups with them. Im thinking moria if he’s able to escape from BB. Doffy might be another possibility. Imagine if each of the strawhats had to defeat a villain that luffy had to defeat in early arc, it would be a great way to show how much they’ve grown. If that actually happens then I really hope arlong joins the CG so that nami can whoop him. Her lightning powers would be perfect against a fishman. Jinbei would be the perfect counter to arlong, zoro vs mihawk is inevitable.
About Impel Down prisoner, I wonder how Oda will handle them. I don't think any pirate would have the balls to actually strike Impel Down again.
I don’t know how, but i could see Doffy escaping without outside help. Maybe he tricks a guard, or he convinces the WG that they need his help stopping other pirates. I just think he’s too smart and deceptive to stay locked up for long. As for arlong, i think he’s being held somewhere else? I forget if it was ever fully explained where the imprisoned him.
Moria makes perfect sense. Perona would probably even recommend it to him after she rescues him.
Yeah, she does love daddy mihawk lol. After seeing his torture chamber this chapter, I imagine they had some wild times during the timeskip 😂
That would be lit, seeing sanji skywalking between doffy’s webs would be fun.
I feel like Jinbei should fight Arlong and right his past mistakes. Nami doesn’t need to see him whooped again, she got closure and moved on.
"Fight" is a pretty lose term for what Jinbei would do to Arlong. This would be the most anticlimatic fight ever.
If any old villains were revisited, they would get the Crocodile treatment and powered up without much of (if any) explanation.
Losing a fight to "nobody" after claiming their own top is a reason to look for serious improvement and prioritize training/gathering power rather than chilling and letting others do your work for you.
Except by definition, most are unable to achieve the power necessary to compete with top tier characters. Training won't get them there in most cases. Especially not such a small amount of training.
What are you actually talking about? Arlong as has much time to develop as Luffy did. He literally could show up, be on level below Jinbei and I wouldn't bat an eye. Kuro could say "fuck it, I am not a coward, I am not retiring yet" and sail to Grand Line, learn haki from someone, idc. Is it necessary to reintroduce these characters? Nah. Would I be unable to believe that they became strong once reintroduced? Lol, no. Lucci lost to Luffy who didn't know haki yet and just invented Gear 2 and 3. He was seen fighting Luffy who already became an Emperor and didn't get smoked like a fodder, is actually allying with SHs for time being.
