[@ambulancekun3142]

buggy is pretty smart all things considerd .

[@Imanifestchaos]

Buggy is smart. He's not just the type of smart Shounen battle manga fans find interesting. Homeboy was able to make a thriving mercenary business that was thriving and was doing dents on Doflamingo's underworld earnings. He might not be the best combatant, or Pirate. But that homie is a terrifyingly good businessman. The only good improvement to his power is his defensive capabilities, making him HARDER to kill, but shit offensive power. Cause an immortal, neigh invulnerable, CEO sounds worse than a literal pirate.

[@aquelgamermexicano]

It makes perfect sense. He was already one of the highest weapon sellers, it's very possible he's been able to afford putting Big bounties. Both Crocodile and Mihawk know Buggy is a weakling, so i'm sure Buggy came up with that idea in order to make sure he could give them something in return of collaborating with him.

As for Boa, there is a fleet outside of your door who are have revoked your warlord status and are here to take/kill you.

Nice to see Buggy live up to his title as "Genius"! For years the marines/government have hunted pirates down and now Buggy has turned the tables, turned the natural order upside down, and has made powerful allies with a profitable business.

Kaido was planning to start a war, Big Mom was after the One piece but she has no means to read the Ponoglyhs which is why she wanted Pudding to awaken her third eye power, so the two haven't been inactive, if anything it was Whitebeard who was the least active as he was more or less sailing around protecting Islands, Shanks has been the biggest question mark, we know so little about him and what he been doing so hopefully soon we'll learn some more about him!

The thing about Buggy is that he's absolutely terrifying in the world of One Piece: * He sailed on Gol D. Roger's ship and is more than likely credited by people/the government for reaching the end of the Grand Line with him. * He has connections to Luffy, Rayleigh, and Shanks. The Marines even considering him a "brother" to Shanks. * He almost killed Luffy if not for the intervention of nature/Dragon. * He's credited with being one of the two men responsible for the mass jailbreak at Impel Down. * He was a player at Marineford who challenged Whitebeard, survived a battle with Mihawk, and was responsible for Luffy and Jinbe's escape. * He served as a member of the Warlords. * He ran one of the most powerful organizations in the underworld, which was one of/the only source of Giants as mercenaries for higher. * and now he has both Crocodile and Mihawk as his top two commanders? Let me repeat that one more time. Crocodile and Mihawk are the COMMANDERS of a Yonko crew/organization which is being lead by Buggy. people need to understand that this man deserves to be a Yonko. I'd be horrified of Buggy if I was some random person in the One Piece world and all I knew about him were the accomplishments he had under his belt according to the government. and NOW? playing the UNO reversal card i.e., putting bounties on marines heads back? he's literally doing a thing no one has ever done !? and did u see the scar on mihawk's chest? who would do something like that?

The Cross Guild is pretty brilliant for Buggy actually. He has ridiculously strong subordinates but is himself weak so he created the pirate version of bounties on Marines. He gets to pretend he is giving his subordinates generous rewards to help them improve without dirtying his hands with combat.

[@AoiKage86]

I think that's a good idea of momo with kinemon flying out to the sunny. It would complete the growth from punk hazard. How these two were so set in their wano ways that they couldn't even ask for help let alone acknowledge/care about outsiders.

[@martinhodwalkerleal3529]

I think the Sweet Commander that gave them the poneglyph was Snack, probably when Urouge finally beat him also get a copy of the poneglyph, making the fight for the One Piece more interesting and including this apparently powerful pirate who hasn't receive any love since his first appearance.

[@SleepyPitou]

The person with the burn marks who has potential knowledge of another road poneglyph could very likely be our favorite cyclist Aokiji. He is "allied" with an emperor, is constantly traveling and has burn marks from his fight with Sakazuki, so he seems like the obvious choice here. Then again, Oda loves to give us an obvious answer only to hit us with a surprise

Truth be told, the pacing in these recent episodes is perfect for animating out into a whole weekly anime block. I really feel like Oda is making his work easier to adapt

[@roakldp]

I’d really like a scene where Kin’emon tearfully apologizes to Luffy, saying he’d love to continue traveling with them and join the crew but his country and wife need him. Luffy calls him an idiot and tells him he already is and always will be a Straw Hat Pirate.

[@suneelj93]

Kinemon is loyal to the Kozuki clan and his wife ABOVE the Straw Hats.

[@roakldp]

@@suneelj93 Obviously. But that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t feel emotional about staying behind. If things were different I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kin’emon join Luffy for the rest of his journey, but it’s clear his place is in Wano.

[@calvinbaxter7151]

Congrats! Been here since like 300k and just so happy to be a part of this.

[@michaelcurran4086]

If the man with the burn scar is Kuzan with the last road poneglyph, think about how beautifully poetic it would be; the final obstacle for the straw hats to overcome before going to Laugh Tale is a former admiral with a long history with the crew, particularly Robin and her pursuit of the history of the world.

[@lordturtlemonk]

I mean looking at the Carrot thing, it really seems more like Oda has set Carrot up to sneak aboard the Sunny once again. She obviously was not keen on the role she was being given and if she were to just go back to Zou now after being defeated by Candy tongue man, she would be doing exactly what he said by 'going back to the forest and eat some grass' which does not fit Pedro's dream which she seemingly inherited. She doesn't see herself as experienced enough and by heading back out to sea with the Straw Hats she'll truly be able to see the New World Dawn. While I am still Carrot for Crew and felt like this chapter was leaning toward that, I am not fully convinced she's going to be crew but we'll have to wait a week at least to see. If we see Carrot on Zou or she doesn't appear in the next 3-4 chapters, we'll have our answer.

[@Dreq458]

Exactly. This contradicts everything Pedro sought to do.

[@user-ue6ur5nt5z]

Oooh yes pls

[@Weaponator18]

I completely agree with your analysis on Carrot's character. But after Carrot's revenge arc got completely scrapped during Wano, I just think Oda (or the editors) changed course on Carrot joining the crew after Yamato became so popular.

[@lordturtlemonk]

Predo's will was never about revenge, but telling Carrot to keep moving forward. The fight she had showed her that she was still too weak, and that if she went back to Zou she'd be stopping and not moving forward.

[@Dreq458]

*Basically, Buggy is that loudest in the gang but ends up running to his muscle dude Mihawk for help*

[@derpmanaveragegamer7791]

i feel like Buggy took advantage of the abolishment warlord system and gathered them together in a mutually beneficial agreement Buggy- the front man, the charismatic leader who is able to bring in additional members due to his public infamy from marineford. Croco Boy- the brains, most likely the one running the guild behind the scenes with his existing knowledge from baroque works. Mihawk- the brawn/muscle, keeps members in line and prevents attacks from weaker groups through his infamy as a solo warlord.

[@cumbrap]

Wonder if Buggy found Captain John's treasure yet

[@dr.yuck-e7602]

I think it needs to be said that the cross guild more than likely won’t make bounty hunters relevant again. Like let’s not forget that Zoro was so infamous as a bounty hunter before joining the strawhats that he was known as THE pirate hunter. So it would feel a little weird to have any bounty hunter capable of taking on admiral or something that we haven’t heard of before. If mihawk or crocodile were to try and go after them that’d be fine but expecting bounty hunters to be relevant again I think isn’t going to be accurate unless they were going after a lower level marine we know which basically leaves it to Koby only

[@hugomventura]

Some part of me thinks that the marine bounty is something mihawk put in for himself. He was known as the marine hunter, the bounty is probably some form of like "hey you could go for this marine." then they pay him. If another person comes along then it's a win win cause mihawk can go for another marine.

[@bobjones-ub2fr]

I think why the straw hats decided to leave without telling anyone is kinda like a retelling of white beard leaving without telling oden but for Yamato

What's worth discussing is...how many Road Poneglyphs do Law and Kid have? Does Law have Big Mom's copy? Does Kid have Zou's copy? We know Luffy has three of them, but it's not quite clear if Kid and Law also share having all 3.

[@joeayre3486]

There are two plot threads running running throughout this video.... One literal, one hidden, both oddy similar. The story of an unlikely clown who gathered a cohort of like-minded followers, "failed" upward, and embodied the mantra "Fake it 'til you make it." Now both are in a place that, at their starts, could only be described as thr far off hope of an unreachable destination. Clown #1, Buggy, is a Yonko. Clown #2, Liam, is a youtuber.....and both have become synonymous with the phrase, "How the F**k did this happen!?" I'm just messing around with the clown stuff and the surprise at Liam's success. I almost never comment on videos, but I wanted congratulate you on reaching 1 million subs. Your videos were the main catalyst behind my head first drive into One Piece. Originally, I'd sparingly watch the Anime from time to time... Never finishing an arch or having a cohesive understanding of what I was seeing.... Then, on a random night 2 years ago, an even more random idea popped into my mind...."Have the Strawhats found the one piece yet?" So, I did a search on KZbin and found my first ever Grand Line Review. Then came the GLR rabbit hole and full-blown Fandom. So thank you Liam, I plan on being here at 2 million subs and whatever else comes. Ohh, and just so everyone know knows.... the answer to my question that started this all was no... they Strawhats had not yet found the One Piece 2 years ago.

[@young_raymond47]

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Kid actually has knowledge about the Poneglyphs although in typical Oda fashion that creates more questions than answers. Has he already been to Lodestar? If not then how did he find out about the Poneglyphs and their significance? Did he target Shanks because Shanks has a Road Poneglyph? I can't believe I'm saying this but does Kid get a W? Actually when you think about it Kid still takes 3 Ls. Firstly because he was about to leave Wano without getting Kaido's Road Poneglyph; claims he needs to get serious but is only just about kept in the race by some charity from Law. Secondly because he is departing a land with 2 people capable of reading Poneglyphs, he certainly has no Idea how to read them; it's possible that the man marked by flames is someone who can read them I guess, but still an L. And the biggest L is because he doesn't currently have the Road Poneglyph from the Whale tree which will literally be impossible for him to locate. He literally had the most fortuitous opportunity ever when Zunesha came to Wano, but he missed it. Huge L This basically confirms yet again that Kid is Luffy without the luck, because Luffy finds Poneglyphs without trying and recruited one of the only known individuals capable of reading them, but even when Kid has everything he needs come to him, he still misses out.

[@marissaffs9824]

further proving Luffy's luck is he didn't even try to recruit Robin, she just popped up on his ship 😂

If carrot was simply written to be older and was written into the story sooner there probably wouldn’t be an issue. I don’t see her joining or being very influential in the future. (aside from likely bringing the mink tribe to the final battle whatever and whenever that is) but had she been there longer and simply seemed like a more mature character she could easily have joined or the leader thing would’ve just worked better like it did for Vivi.

[@didack1419]

The failure of Carrot is, if she was supposed to be the duchess with so little character development related to that, she should have been written as capable from the beginning.

[@TheSkullivan12]

I feel like the whole scene with Carrot may have been a red herring to set up giving her an excuse to stow away on the Sunny like she did the first time. The other Minks go out of their way to bring up Pedro's will to try and convince Carrot, but they don't actually mention what that will was. Pedro's will, ever since he was a child, was in fact to leave Zou and travel the seas in order to search for the Dawn of the World. And the will that he specifically left behind to Carrot was for her to make sure the Straw Hats could go on to bring about said Dawn. It'd feel really weird to me for Oda to frame this scene with Carrot explicitly refusing the request to return to Zou and saying she does not want that, and then to go out of his way to remind her and the readers of the reasons why she wouldn't want to do that, only to turn around and have her simply accept it and walk out of the story off-screen.

[@Eldritchinator]

Stowaway is the only way she comes with, but it would totally be in character

[@collecter343]

Be pretty neat if the other minks are just saying this to push Carrot into joining the crew cause they know she needs a specific goal moving forward.

[@Azrael79a]

I mean, I've read a lot of Fanfictions where the MC kinda does the same thing. Setting up a Country or an Empire, putting bounties on Marines, even setting up a New Navy type organization. Though I think the best Fanfiction I ever read was one where the MC grew up in Wano with Yamato, Jack, Maria, even the two little dinosaur kids show up after a few years. Essentially, the MC, Yamato and the others grow up under the brutal 'care' of big daddy Kaido, who is definitely not a good father figure, even by One Piece standards. Their Dream is simply to escape, have a banquet on every island in the world and also to defeat Kaido. Eventually, they even went into space and became Space Pirates, which are canonically a thing in One Piece, that barely ever gets mentioned lmao. I feel like it should be a really important part of the background.

[@topnotchshinobi]

Let’s not forget that Robin and Crocodile still have a score to settle with each other; Sanji may have the eventual glory of fighting Crocodile (one on one), but an “Indiana Jones vs Belloq” archeology hunt/“battle of wits” between Robin and Crocodile would be equally awesome to imagine.

I think the word 'cross' in 'cross guild' actually means that Mihawk is the leader and Buggy is just a figurehead. Because Mihawk is the one associated with crosses (His sword, his chain, stuff like that)

[@sheabutterfly]

I guess that's the combo of them 3 coz the cross sword is similar to baroque works jolly roger.

I love Yamato and I would love to see them in the crew but... I think this whole "I'm Oden" thing need to be resolved. For me to be 100% on board with Yamato as a strawhat I want them to have their own will. Maybe they ask Luffy if he wants Kozuki Oden in his ship and Luffy says "no" because Oden is dead, thus forcing Yamato to find their own personality... Something along those lines.

[@3000bullets]

i think you’re absolutely right abt that, i can almost see the panel

[@agilsonlobato9517]

Oden is a concept for Yamato, there’s nothing to be resolved. His gender identity has nothing to do with it, since he’s known as Kaido’s son, if that’s the point you and others that dislike the whole “I’m Oden” idea are trying to make.

[@gabrielpaulino9701]

@@agilsonlobato9517 It does have something to do with Oden, since when Luffy asks why they're call "Kaido's son" they say that they chose to be a man because Oden was a man. But anyway, Yamato can be a man if they want to be, as long as Yamato is Yamato. I just think Yamato's dream to live someone else's life is weaker when compared to the other strawhats' motivations.
