Biography

Buggy the Clown.

Buggy (Japanese: バギー, Hepburn: Bagī)

One of his crewmates was Shanks where he and Buggy often got into arguments with one another. On one occasion, the pair argued on which was colder namely the North Pole or South Pole which was when they were reprimanded by Silvers Rayleigh. Around 27 years ago, their ship raided another vessel that had a treasure map leading to the bottom of the sea. Buggy hid his find and kept the map to himself where later own he spoke to Shanks who revealed that the crew had found one of the fabled Devil Fruits. This attracted Buggy's interest where he learnt it gave the user powers but robbed them of their ability to swim. Upon hearing this, Buggy decided not to take the power as it meant that he could not swim to the treasure at the bottom of the sea. However, he did hear that a Devil Fruit was worth 100,000,000 Beli in the market and concocted a plan to steal it. He substituted the fruit with an ordinary one and claimed that the Devil Fruits were not real and thought to prove it by eating it in front of the crew. This allowed him to hide the real one which he intended to sell but when Shanks surprised him Buggy came to accidentally eat the Devil Fruit. During the incident, he fell in the water and lost the ability to swim nearly causing him to drown but Shanks came to save his life.

One year after the Roger Pirates' dissolution, Roger was executed by the World Government in Loguetown. Buggy and Shanks were present at his execution, and they both wept. Afterwards, Shanks asked Buggy to join his crew, but Buggy refused and began operating on his own. With the Great Age of Pirates beginning, in order to escape the eye of the World Government, he concealed the fact that he was part of the Roger Pirates. Forming the Buggy Pirates, he started to plunder and pillage the weakest points of the East Blue. Two years ago, he and his crew raided Orange Town and forced the citizens to evacuate into a shelter outside the town to stay safe.

Buggy heard that a thief had stolen his treasure map to the Grand Line and ordered his crew to catch them. When one of his men tried to explain how it got stolen, Buggy misheard him and thought he mentioned his nose, causing him to become enraged and choke his subordinate before ordering him to be blown up with a Buggy Ball. He then told his crew to catch the thief and loot all of the town's treasure. Later, the thief Nami then arrived on the roof of the tavern and gave Monkey D. Luffy, whom she claimed to be her boss, to Buggy as a prisoner. She also gave the treasure map back, saying she and Luffy had a falling out and she wanted to join the Buggy Pirates.

Reduced to a head, arm and legs, he was forced to row a small raft through the ocean where he struggled to avoid being attacked by carnivorous fish. He came to reach an island where he attempted to eat a small bird only to be attacked by its bigger parent. Buggy's initial efforts to trap the larger bird failed and he was nearly eaten alive but the bird spat him out as he tasted bad which saw him landing on the Island of Rare Animals. Whilst there, he came to be attacked by Gaimon at first who looked to protect the animals but the two eventually bonded over their unusual bodies.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Buggy was a slim blue-haired man with an appearance resembling that of a clown where he had a big, red nose on his face.

Buggy was very vain and egotistical person who sought to be glorified and feared by others.

Being somewhat of a showman, his actions were frequently designed to bring attention to himself. He often used the word "flashy" (派手に hade ni?) in almost all his sentence ("Flashily die! You flashy bastard!") and frequently used it to describe his actions.

He was shown to be extremely sensitive about his big red nose and would immediately execute anyone who pointed it out. He frequently tends to mishear people as talking about his nose when in reality they are talking about something completely different, and sometimes he even mistakes his own speech as referring to his nose and gets angry at people around him for it.

As a fighter, he was crafty where he allowed himself to be cut him to pieces on one occasion and pretended to be dead in order to stab his opponent with a detached hand whilst they were off-guard.

Powers and abilities

Originally, Buggy was an ordinary human being though one skilled as a pirate.

He later came to accidentally eat a Paramecia (超人パラミシア系, Paramishia-kei) type Devil Fruit (悪魔の実, Akuma no Mi) with this being the Bara Bara no Mi (バラバラの実, Chop-Chop Fruit). This turned him into a Splitting Human (バラバラ人間 Barabara Ningen?) whereby he could separate the parts of his body. As a result, this made him immune to slash attack as he could divide his body to evade any damage. He could use it to detach his hand and strangle a person from a distance where he could lift them into the air whilst he stood still. Beyond his feet, he was able to separate his disassembled body parts levitate and control them telekinetically. Buggy could launch his body parts at high speed allowing him to strike a distant target with strong degree of force.

Among the techniques used by him included:

  • Bara Bara Ho (バラバラ砲 Bara Bara Hō?, literally meaning "Split Split Cannon") :
  • Chi o Hau Bara Bara Ho (地をはうバラバラ砲 Chi o Hau Bara Bara Hō?, literally meaning "Earth-Crawling Split Split Cannon") :
  • Bara Bara Ho Kirihanashi (バラバラ砲切り離し Bara Bara Hō Kirihanashi?, literally meaning "Split Split Cannon Dismember") :
  • Bara Bara Senbei (バラバラせんべい Bara Bara Senbei?, literally meaning "Split Split Rice Cracker") :

In terms of weapons, he was shown to frequently make use of knives. He was capable of holding them between his fingers to wield them like claws. They were used in conjunction with his Devil Fruit power by flying his detached hands and trying to strike people from afar where he was also able to throw the knives with power and accuracy.

Upon becoming a captain, he assembled his own crew of pirates called the Buggy Pirates (バギー海賊団, Bagī Kaizokudan).

He made a powerful cannonball that he referred to as his Buggy Balls (特製バギー玉, Tokusei Bagī Dama) that were incredible powerful munitions. These immensely powerful cannonballs could instantly demolish an entire row of buildings.
