Luffy’s got a bone to pick, and it’s about none other than the enigma wrapped in chaos – Buggy. In the latest One Piece episode (1083), Luffy, the soon-to-be Emperor of the Sea, receives a poster from Kidd, and what he sees leaves him more confused than a navigator in the Florian Triangle.
Now, let’s set the scene.
Luffy’s just secured his spot as one of the Four Emperors after taking down Kaido, a feat that’s had the seas buzzing.
But what’s this? Buggy, the walking circus act, is sharing the limelight with none other than Hawkeye and Crocodile. Yes, you read that right.
Luffy’s initial shock is palpable.
He’s put in the effort, battled through thick and thin, and now he sees Buggy, the clown prince, cozying up to the big shots.
And guess what? Luffy ain’t happy about it.
In true Luffy fashion, he doesn’t mince words. “That guy is an idiot,” he says, and the look on his face screams, “Why, oh why, is Buggy in this league?” It’s a genuine, from-the-heart expression of disbelief. But hey, let’s not forget, Buggy did play a role in the war, helping Luffy get to the big leagues.
Yet, Luffy’s disdain for Buggy is as clear as the East Blue on a calm day.
He can’t fathom how Buggy, with his penchant for chaos, is sharing a throne with the likes of Hawkeye and Crocodile. It’s like inviting a rubber chicken to a summit of serious pirates.
But hold on, let’s cut Buggy some slack. Sure, he’s a walking disaster, but he’s not all bad. He did save Luffy during the war, and they’ve teamed up in the underwater prison. The guy’s got some tricks up his frilly sleeves.
Luffy and Buggy, despite their stark differences, share a lot in common.
Both stumbled upon Devil Fruits by sheer accident, embarked on their own adventures, landed themselves in the undersea slammer, and now, against all odds, find themselves as Emperors of the Sea. They’re like two peas in a devilish pod.
So, while Luffy might be giving Buggy the side-eye, let’s not forget that both these pirates are chasing dreams that’ll go down in history.
One day, the books will tell tales of two legendary pirates – Luffy and, you guessed it, Buggy.
So, maybe, just maybe, Luffy should cut the clown some slack.
After all, every crew needs a little chaos, right?
