About Buggy
Buggy the Star Clown is the nominal president of Cross Guild, and one of the current Four Emperors dominating the New World.
Initially a Roger Pirates apprentice alongside Shanks, Buggy succeeded his disbanded mentors as a career pirate in the East Blue, in time becoming captain of the Buggy Pirates. One of the earliest enemies defeated by Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates, revenge drove him to an alliance with "Iron Mace" Alvida and pursuit into the Grand Line. Since then, his fortunes have constantly, dramatically revolved: from imprisonment in Impel Down to entanglement in its first mass-breakout and the subsequent Summit War of Marineford, his escalating infamy won him entry to the Seven Warlords of the Sea, allowing him to launch the pirate mercenary organization Buggy's Delivery.
After the Warlords were outlawed, Buggy found himself "leading" the Cross Guild, a successor group actually controlled by fellow ex-Warlords Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk; with his inflated reputation, he was grudgingly retained as figurehead leader, and gained recognition as one of the new Emperors. Emboldened, Buggy has declared his intent to become the Pirate King, putting Cross Guild in pursuit of One Piece.
He is the main antagonist of the Orange Town Arc and a secondary antagonist in the Loguetown Arc, as well as the central protagonist of the Buggy's Crew Adventure Chronicles cover arc (the manga's first). Since then, he has become one of the series' most-recurring characters, serving as a supporting character through the Summit War Saga in addition to tertiary appearances in the Jaya Arc, Zou Arc, Wano Country Arc, and Egghead Arc.
