Started as a weak East Blue villain. Became a Warlord as a joke. Then Cross Guild. Then Emperor — also as a joke. But look at the pattern: Buggy was on Roger's ship. He was at Loguetown during Luffy's almost-execution at Roger's scaffold. He knows things. What if Buggy's entire "accidental" rise is Oda hiding an actual endgame character in plain sight for 25 years?
