The Next Shichibukai?

[OdaForPresident]

I really think that Buggy received an invite to join the Shichibukai and I'm sure he'll accept. He's weak, he doesn't want to be chased by the marines. As a Schichibukai he can just lead the easy life and let his crew do the work.

I also think buggy will receive a shichibukai position and he will accept. He does not have much of a choice anyways. Even if he had level 4 and 5 prisoners following him, how would he stop the hordes of marines from taking the fight to them? I could see buggy getting past a marine battleship thanks to his buggy and muggy ball but how would he deal with powerful marines? Only chance he has of avoiding a ridiculously huge bounty is to get the title. Once he gets the title he does not have to do much. Shichibukai don't have to follow orders. Shichibukai are there mostly to scare other pirates, their presence is mostly symbolic. As we have seen before, even attending meetings is not mandatory and they are barely required to be friendly with the world government. If buggy gets a shichibukai title then he is basically set for life, he does not have to worry about marines anymore. He does not even have to fight pirates. By staying in the safer half of the grand las "roger's former crewmate, almost a brother to the red hair, shichibukai, ally of the WB pirates" he has more than enough to scare any pirate. Very few would fight him and those who do would have to deal with the horde of prisoners who escaped with him.

buggy has to become a shichibukai. he HAS to

of the others i would like to see capone bege, urouge or gin become a shichibukai.

 

[THM Nindo]

If Buggy become a Shichibukai I will officialy declare Oda as the best mangaka ever!!
This would be so great!!!

 

[Bugzee]

I definitely agree with you, THM!

Buggy will be Luffy's (+ Shanks!?) "insideman" if you like...

I can't wait to see what happens next chapter, I really am hoping that itll be confirmed!

I'm to lazy to find the SBS source now.. But Oda did claim he has a liking for Buggy and that he would play a role throughout the story....

So I do suspect Buggy could be invited to work for the WG as a Shichi. or something..

I hope that we get to see what was written, and not 50000 reactions to it.

Buggy is an opportunist in the first place

but he will barter big time

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

It is interesting if Buggy will accept the invitation and is it an invitation for Shichibukai or not and in fact I'm not sure now)) Also who can replace other positions? Will the others be some famous pirates or some rookies like Supernovas or even some totally unknown pirates? Perhaps we will see in some chapters, but it is really difficult now for WG to trust Shichis, because they didn't perform well lately)

 

[BlackHair]

If Buggy becomes a Shichi, hopefully OP fans will stop using "Shichubukai lvl" as a argument.

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

Yes, I think it was obvious that all the Shichibukais had different power level. Even if comparing Moria with Doflamingo or Mihawk.

 

[Dasbones]

I don't think there is such a thing as 'Power levels' the whole notion makes it far to easy to categorize some fairly complex characters, fights are situational, I'm pretty sure that Buggy would have been able to kill Whitebeard when was all shot up by the Blackbeard pirates, despite being miles away in terms of power.

Not all Pirates are created equal, even bounties are a good indication of power.

 

[Soka]

Buggy will get the position for sure!
The mysterious letter will be the invitation as many already assumed because its the only way for the government to make sure the Impel Down ecapees wont go on a rampage.
They know how much Buggy wants to be a majo player and this way they could make sure his crew will gain even more trust in him.

Edit : The Gorousei said they need some with influence - Buggy has an uncountable amount of pirates with bounties over 100 million if thats is not influence i dont know

 

[kkck]

Didn't oda release some time ago the images of would be characters for the future? I was under the impression he did such a thing, perhaps among those is a shichibukai... That said BUGGY WILL BE A SHICHIBUKAI! Bluffing your way to the top is the way to go!

 

[tret16]

and also the fact, having a pirate that was once part of the pirate kings crew as shichibukai is a big influence

 

[Psyren Dante]

I definitely agree with you, THM!

Buggy will be Luffy's (+ Shanks!?) "insideman" if you like...

I can't wait to see what happens next chapter, I really am hoping that itll be confirmed!

So if Buggy will be Luffy's "inside man" does this mean Hancock is his "inside woman"? Just messing with you.

 

[chess4]

wonder if roche tomson will be one of the shichibukai

 

[Fox666]

Since he was from Level 5, I would bet he is in Buggy's crew.

 

[BlindMunkey]

up to this point all the shichibukai has animal theme. Buggy does not. Oda simply does not do the obvious.

 

[Akainu]

while the animal-theme was a valid theory in the beginning, it ws proven wrong recently in two cases: Ace was offered the position and Blackbeard really got it - both do not have an animal theme. So Buggy wouldn't be that far off for a Shichibukai here, IF the Worldgovernment still relies on such a thing (they just saw how unreliable they are in wartimes).

 

[BlindMunkey]

ah yea forgot about Blackbeard. i keep finding myself forgetting that BB was shichibukai. it just goes to show how desperate they are to get the new shichibukai(s). so i suppose this may lead to someone like Buggy being appointed one.
"desperate time calls for desperate measures".
