One Piece: Was Buggy Better Off For Having Eaten His Devil Fruit?
During the Orange Town arc of One Piece viewers were treated to a fun and unique origin story for the main antagonist. While this isn’t super unique to anime as a whole it is fairly unusual for these earlier episodes of One Piece. Normally flashbacks involving antagonists are limited to how they directly affected one of the Straw Hats, as with Arlong flashing back to his treatment of Nami. Instead with Buggy the Clown audiences got to see exactly what turned Buggy into the pirate he is today, and perhaps a little bit of why his personality is what it is today as well.
One Piece follows the story of Monkey D. Luffy as he gathers a crew and sets out for the Grand Line in an effort to become King of the Pirates. In his effort to gather a reliable crew he meets with more than a few notorious pirates who mostly stand in his way, with one major exception in the form of Shanks.
Fairy Tail: Is Lucy's Magic Unique?
When Buggy was just a pirate in training he was on a ship with Red-Haired Shanks, and due to how they spent their time together he holds a special place of hatred in his heart for the other pirate. During a raid Buggy finds a treasure map that he believes points to a location in the middle of the ocean. Given his intense love of treasure and wealth, he immediately hides the map from his shipmates and makes plans to go seek that treasure on his own.
Shanks talks to Buggy about another valuable item captured in the raid, a Chop Chop Devil Fruit. This item he says is worth a fortune in berries. Of course, Buggy must have that as well so he stages a showing where he eats a fake version of the fruit while actually stealing the real one. The crew is fooled and believe that the fruit they captured was fake all along.
