A wave of disappointment sweeps worldwide asOne Piece, the longest-running anime, goes on a six-month hiatus. Even after enthralling fans for over 25 years, Eiichiro Oda’sOne Pieceis arguably the most renowned anime series, captivating fans worldwide through its epic tale of adventure and friendship.
Among the many captivating characters in theOne Pieceuniverse, Buggy stands out as a fan favorite, winning over audiences with his growth throughout the story. Remarkably, Buggy has achieved the feats that he has, even managing to become a Yonko, even though he couldn’t be further from being a “leader-type” if he tried.
Alongside Gol D. Roger’s One Piece treasure, Buggy’s journey to the Yonko title is arguably one of the biggest mysteries. Buggy has been a staple of the series for so long that many fans believe Oda-sensei has something special planned for this fan-favorite character.
What CanOne PieceFans Expect from Buggy’s Future Development?
Despite being a comedic relief character, Buggy the Clown is arguablyEiichiro Oda‘s most-liked character in the series. Buggy was first introduced in The Orange Town Arc when Luffy and Zoro aimlessly sailed across the sea.
Although Luffy and his friends managed to overpower Buggy’s crew, it wasn’t the last time we encountered the iconic clown in the series. As Luffy continues his journey to become the King of the Pirates, Buggy also archives notable feats and even earned the title of Yonko.
Despite being one of the weakest characters in the series, Buggy’s trickery assisted him in becoming one of the most feared pirates inOne Piece‘s universe. Many fans believe Oda-sensei has shown a strong bias toward Buggy, while others think the mangaka has mysterious plans for him in the future.
Though he may be one of the weakest characters, Buggy’s past makes him one of the most legendary figures in theOne Pieceuniverse. Since at least the age of 9, Buggy has been with the Roger Pirates as an apprentice alongside Shanks.

Furthermore, Oda-sensei has numerous times highlighted Buggy’s admiration for The Pirate King Roger and fascination with theOne Piecetreasure, positioning him as a rival to Shanks and Luffy.

While Oda-sensei’s plans remain uncertain, the most likely way to advance Buggy’s character would be through the awakening of his devil fruit.
Buggy’s devil fruit, Bara Bara no Mi, allows him to split his body into various pieces and withstand any powerful slash. Since Buggy’s devil fruit was in the possession of the Roger Pirates, it’s unlikely to be just an ordinary devil fruit.
With theCross-Guild’s entry into the racefor the One Piece treasure, Buggy is bound to face a grim fate sooner or later. Like Luffy and Ace, he could awaken his devil fruit powers in a moment of desperation, gaining immense strength and abilities to finally stand on equal ground with others.
With his awakening, Buggy might gain the ability to split the tiniest atoms, turning him into a deadly weapon like a walking nuke capable of obliterating his surroundings and opponents in the blink of an eye.
In addition, Buggy might be able to split his atoms into micro-atoms, granting him invisibility—though the possibilities are endless, his fate ultimately lies in Oda-sensei’s hands. Regardless, Buggy would need extensive training to master his awakening powers, which could provide a great twist to his current comedic persona.
Is Buggy the Son Of Rocks D. Xebec?
Rocks D. Xebec was a prominent figure four decades ago before the Pirate King Gol D. Roger came into power. Although the Rocks Pirates became relatively unknown to younger generations, Sengoku described the crew members as very violent and vicious, as they would kill friends and foes alike.
Similar to Shanks, Roger may have discovered two newborn babies at God Valley, with Buggy the Clown being the other. The theory suggests thatBuggy might be Xebec’s son, and since they could share a slight resemblance, Oda may have been intentionally avoiding showing Xebec’s design or talking about the God Valley incident in detail.

The mostnoticeable resemblancebetween them could be the red nose, which might spoil Oda-sensei’s masterplan, or the big reveal for Buggy before he awakens his Conqueror’s Haki in the final saga.
One Pieceis available to stream on Crunchyroll.
