Everybody remembers vol.25 and the scene with Buggy and his crew searching for a treasure, in a Grand Line's cave, treasure that should be Captain John's.
The fact is that Captain John is dead. He probably has hidden his treasure somewhere before he died. We know there's a treasure on Thriller Bark. The point is : is it the same treasure Buggy was looking for ?
Is it possible Buggy appears right now on Thriller Bark ?
Who is John ? He'll sure get some importance in a few chapters because he's the only one Absalom speaks with. We don't see him fighting with Franky, Luffy and robin.
So this is a general thread about him, and also about Buggy's probable coming out !
Captain Buggy and Captain John (spoilers)
-
-
I wouldn't say, just because Absolom only said HIS name, he will be any more important zombie-char than the others. To me, it seems, Oda just wanted to pull a gag on us otakus, like.. just a little easter-egg, ya know? Nothing special, but still neat and a little surprise for all those freakish OP readers, like we are ^^
-
The drunk guy shadow could mean that he doesn't remember the tresure
-
Anyway, there MUST be some big treasure on this island, it was mentionned a few times, and with all those pirates who have been defeated here, there must be a big amount of gold !
And Strawhats need to be pursued for something else than their own bounties, which will be ridiculous in Grand Line. Moreover, pirates chasing strawhats for their gold will bring different adventures than what we've seen so far. :-D
-
Buggy comes in next chapter and saves everyone calling it now
-
I think the next time we'll see Buggy he'll be at W7, and that'll be after the Strawhats dealt with Moria as I don't see the clown get past the Florian Triangle with Thriller Bark still around.
That'd be a good opportunity to see him interact with Iceburg and showcase his new 90 million berry bounty (BELIEVE).

If so.. this is the right time for Buggy to proof his strength and greatness.. For being underestimate..
-

I would be so happy if this ever happened. It would be like a Roz's favorite character fanservice-fest. Then Ironfist and Jango would arrive, along with Johnny and Yosaku. As far as I'm concerned, after that event One Piece could end anticlimactically and I'd be content with it.
I've actually been saying that Buggy will come along and make everyone his collective bitch since I read his mini-arc. I'm still waiting for it to happen.
-
Here's an idea. Maybe Captain John doesn't do much this arc, but rather he survives and appears later….on Buggy's boat.
Maybe Captain John could be cover story material--one that fleshes out the story of his treasure? Maybe we could get another Buggy related cover story?
-
I believe that Buggy will make a special apperance in Foxy's cover story (if it have one), just to show that he didn't lose the track for the Straw Hats, or surely to fight against another comedic villain.
-
I don't really think there's any connection. Buggy just mentioned him because he happened to be digging where he thought his treasure was…
It's probably just an Easter egg, or it could have some connection. I doubt it, though. Oda just likes to throw stuff like that in there. For example, Usopp's Goldfish story and the Island Eater.
If it's the latter, expect Davy Jones to show up later... I'm still sticking to my guns on my theory with that.
-

That's a cover story that I'd love to see! A Davey Back Fight involving Buggy and Foxy – with a twist ending that when both realize they have something in common (that they were humiliated by the Mugiwara), they call off the fight, declare a truce, then set off together to get their revenge on Luffy and Co.
And if they find Zombie Captain John instead of Capain John's treasure, all the better!

Might aswell work if one wins the entire crew of the other in the DBF. That way we have one big crew without the need to declare a truce. If that would really be the material for a mini story I´d like to see what other Oda would come up with.
-
Buggy seems content to let Luffy build up a big bounty. Even though he has a much smaller one - just because when he defeats Luffy his will rise up v.fast. I imagine we'll see him no different next time we met, just more determined to beat Luffy so he can get that huge increase. It seems as far as Buggy is concerned, Luffy is his.

Good point. And since the Foxy Pirates currently have no flag, my hunch is that they'll be joining Buggy's circus pirates. I think it would be a great match : my hunch is that both crews would get along beautifully, since both crews are so fond of "making a big show" out of everything.
Let's hope Oda feels this way too.

The big show point is a good argument. Circus and sport events are exactly that. I also think that it should be Buggy who takes over because a) flagless Foxy is better of to join someone then vice versa and b) Buggy is around for so long and somehow has a past that connects to more big players then Foxy appears so far. Also for a circus themed pirate crew the Buggy Pirates were lacking a bit on the field of artists/attractions so converting the big players from the Foxy Pirates into circus artists could actually play out interesting.
-
I would go crazy with glee if Buggy showed up doing ANYTHING.
Gosh, he needs to be around more often. . .
-
Sometimes an easter egg is just an easter egg.
-
and sometimes its full of chocolate ^^
-
And other times just nothing…
-
I agree I'd like to see buggy actuaqlly fight. Looking at the way Oda does fights, we never actually got to see a battle with Buggy, just the goofy showing off part at the start…I want to see our favorite clown go all out.
-
i think he is the same captain john,oda does these things,like with rockstar and marco,rockstar asked a mere pirate from WB's ship if he knew his name but if you go check the chapter now you will see that mere pirate was actually he first division captain marco!!
oda is full of these things,maybe the god of elbaf exists and he is a real person,maybe davy jones will appear,who knows???
so i believe in captain john and i would like to believe in davy jones too cuz with davy back fight and thriller bark i like seeing one piece becomming more of a pirate manga every year
also about buggy,he was with ace,ace found BB 4 days ago (flashback+the day that passed in TB) and BB said W7 was near to them so buggy shouldn't be too far away,so since we saw coby why not buggy too????
-
Buggy is on a different path, that is true… But his path may not meet up with Luffy's until beyond the redline.
-
I really think our little clown is a dangerous dude, he is masterign knifes and can amkem fly with his splitfruit and is immune to Zoros swordattacks :p
But what if Zoro uses the back of his swords XD -
I find it a little odd that we didn't get to see Buggy after Water 7. After every important arc we get to see the likes of Shanks, Whitebeard Shichibukai and the World Government as a glimpse of what goes on in the world meanwhile. Last time we saw Buggy was when he met Ace and it seemed that Oda showed us that only so Buggy could talk about Whitebeard. Then why haven't we seen him now, we know he is Oda's favorite villain and all. Obviously there is a reason, Oda might surprise us with the return of Buggy in the main story with Foxy as part of his crew with a much higher bounty. Maybe the reason we haven't gotten a Foxy mini-arc is because it would spoil the surprise when he finally shows up with Buggy. Face it, Foxy is golden mini-arc material. I think we can expect the return of Buggy pretty soon.

@Book:

Actually, he appeared but only during Shank's flashback.
-
Yeah but flashbacks don't really count.
(For some reason I really want to see that FB in anime form…)

The Buggy & Foxy Circus-billed as the 'Flashiest Show on Earth!' Coming to rob a town near you! This makes perfect sense from a financial viewpoint; Buggy's crew lacked concession stands, which was something Foxy's crew had in plenty. Besides, knowing Buggy there'd be some kind of offer to wager all of your treasure instead of a crewmate. That way Foxy could get more crewmembers, and Buggy could get more treasure.

Yes, exactly!
Let's hope Oda thinks so, too.
And I can also imagine Oda drawing a few one-off chapter pics every so often showing the various "acts" of the Flashy Show as it circles the Grand Line in persuit of the Straw Hats. (For instance a scene of them pitching their tent on the demolition island on W7 and then attempting to pitch their game/show to Franky Family and Galley-La.

I would love to see a davy back fight Buggy Vs Foxy, then Buggy wins Foxys crew and make Foxy where a clown noose ;)

i always kinda thought BB would recruit all of buggy's crew cuz buggy was a part of roger's crew and one of the few people that have gone to raftel so he would be needed but foxy + buggy?? i don't know,it sounds kinda odd cuz they both are kinda weak:wassat:
-
To be fair on Buggy's part, the only reason Luffy won was because Nami helped to distract him.
Plus Foxy and Buggy joining would be super special awesome. Just showing Buggy's progess on the Grand Line would be nice to see.
