Personality and Relationships

Buggy will often feign intelligence, only to have his true incompetence revealed. Although he is not "stupid" in the traditional sense, he is prone to gross misjudgements that often cost him - usually this is due to his overconfidence. In the original Japanese version of One Piece, he inserts the word hade, which means "flashy" or "gaudy" into almost every sentence he speaks (Die with flash! You flashy bastard!).

The big, red nose on his face is, in fact, his real nose; a fact he is very touchy about, going so far as to destroy an entire town when a couple of kids made fun of his nose. Occasionally, he will mishear what others say as an insult about him or his nose, possibly due to paranoia.

He has a number of running gags in the series, including his habit of not noticing who he is speaking to until moments after greeting him (for example, when Ace appeared on his ship, Buggy first greets him politely. Then, when he realises he is on his ship, he blurts out 'Who the hell are you?'). He also has what some might consider 'dumb luck'; no matter what happens to him he is lucky enough to survive somehow (including being struck by lightning at Loguetown).

Buggy is one of the few villains to become reformed after facing Luffy, though only slightly. Before his loss he was willing to use his crew as human shields, afterwards he shows a lot more care about their well being. He also begins to accept people's kindness, though he can still be cruel to anyone who isn't a member of his crew or aiding him in his goals. He also is fun loving and displays a huge fondness for parties, admiring those who are equally fun loving (strangely, he shares this trait with Shanks).

Buggy is deeply afraid of Whitebeard and knows him from his days as a pirate apprentice when his captain's crew and Whitebeard's crew were always fighting. He even stopped his crew from attacking Ace for the fear of Whitebeard's wrath.

His primary goal right now is revenge against Luffy, for defeating him, and Shanks for ruining his dreams during his youth.

History

The Bitter Grudge

Buggy holds a bitter grudge against Red-Haired Shanks over the matter of his Devil Fruit curse. In their youth, both men were pirates aboard Gold Roger's ship and constantly argued over everything imaginable (in the flashback in the manga and the anime alike, they argue over whether the North or South Pole is colder). During a raid on an enemy ship, Buggy found a treasure map marking the location of a valuable underwater treasure; during the same raid, the crew retrieved a Devil Fruit: Bara Bara no Mi (バラバラの実 Chop Chop Fruit). Told of the fruit's value, Buggy switched the real fruit with a fake, and then ate the fake in front of the crew so he could sell the fruit which was worth a good amount of money. But, while privately gloating with both the map and the fruit in his possession, Buggy was surprised by Shanks; he hid the fruit in his mouth, and before he could remove it, Shanks surprised him again and he swallowed it - forever losing the ability to swim, and thus also losing his chance to get the treasure underwater.
