Buggy’s Origins and Dream

Buggy was born into piracy, serving as an apprentice on Gol D. Roger’s crew alongside Shanks. During his time on Roger’s ship, he was present at many legendary events, including battles with Whitebeard, encounters with Garp, and the journey to Laugh Tale.

However, Buggy was never interested in Roger’s dream of discovering the One Piece. Instead, he was obsessed with gold, treasure, and living an easy life. His hatred for Shanks began when Buggy accidentally swallowed his Devil Fruit, losing a valuable treasure map in the process.

After Roger’s execution, Buggy started his own pirate crew, but his small-time ambitions kept him as a weak pirate in East Blue. That is, until a series of lucky events began pushing him toward power and fame, eventually leading him to become one of the Four Emperors.
