Buggy, titled “Buggy the Star Clown,” commands the Buggy Pirates and co-leads the Cross Guild alongside former Warlords Dracule Mihawk and Crocodile. Originating as an apprentice on Gol D. Roger’s crew with Shanks, a pivotal clash with his crewmate led to his accidental consumption of the Chop-Chop Fruit—courtesy of Shanks’ mishap—which stripped his ability to swim and cost him a prized treasure map. This incident ignited his obsession with land-bound riches and drove him to forge his own crew. At the Pirates Festival during the "Stampede" arc, Buggy operates as the event’s security while covertly scheming to claim Gol D. Roger’s treasure. After a botched attempt to capture Trafalgar Law, he infiltrates the floating island to seize the treasure chest. Upon opening it, he stands paralyzed by shock; the contents remain hidden until Usopp later retrieves them. His trademark bumbling resurfaces when he neglects to use his Devil Fruit powers to recover the fallen chest, underscoring his chaotic, opportunistic streak. Familiar with Douglas Bullet’s fearsome legacy as a former Roger Pirates combatant, Buggy’s recognition of the rogue fighter emphasizes his ties to legendary figures in piracy’s history. Despite his instinctive cowardice, he finds himself thrust into the climactic clash against Bullet, reiterating his pattern of unintended involvement in pivotal battles. His "Stampede" attire—a flamboyant orange-and-white captain’s coat, pink cravat, and striped pants—embodies his “Star Clown” persona. Post-timeskip advancements, including his ascension to Warlord and Yonko status, hinge on serendipity, misread acts of perceived bravery, and calculated alliances, though the film omits explicit details. Buggy’s narrative weaves humor with undercurrents of significance, often capitalizing on fortuitous misunderstandings that inflate his renown. His "Stampede" exploits cement his identity as a chaos-weaving survivor who thrives through a mix of opportunism and accidental consequences.
