Buggy

Biodata

Background / History

Buggy is a former apprentice of the Roger Pirates who grew up sailing alongside Shanks 9 317. Following the execution of the Pirate King Roger, Buggy initially parted ways with Shanks due to a disagreement over their futures and spent years operating in the East Blue, building his crew and searching for treasure 9 317. Driven by a desire to reunite with his sworn brother, Barzeb Seven, Buggy eventually ventured into the New World 24 143.

Upon arriving in the New World, Buggy and his crew were captured by Marine Admiral Sakazuki (Akainu) 143 144. The World Government and Marines orchestrated a public execution plan at Marineford, falsely portraying Buggy as the son of Pirate King Roger to lure out Seven and the remnants of the Roger and Morning Star Pirates 144 146. During his imprisonment in Impel Down's Level 6, Buggy crossed paths with Douglas Bullet 151.

The public execution was interrupted by the arrival of Seven, Mihawk, and Shiki, who used a hundred captive Celestial Dragons as bargaining chips 153. Though a decoy was initially used during the exchange, Buggy was later brought to Pangaea Castle in Mary Geoise where he happily reunited with Seven 155 163 164. Buggy subsequently integrated the Buggy Pirates into the Morning Star Grand Fleet as the Third Division, serving alongside his newly appointed vice-captain Foxy 167. He eventually found a romantic partner in Army Lieutenant General Belo Betty following the United Kingdom's matchmaking convention 441 448.
