Its also important to note that i don't think any shichibukai or pirate has ever looked at the shichibukai position as being that of a lapdog; the rules regarding shichibukai are very loose. Really Kuma is the only one that seemed to act as a lapdog, but that's because he's been coerced somehow. In fact most shichibukai seem to use the position to advance their own personal agendas... it never seems to get in the way of their plans. Buggy would be no different. Quote:
Also i do not think the WG would knowingly risk making a weakling a shichibukai. After all everytime a shichibukai is beaten it tarnishes their reputation. If Buggy were to get beaten by some low tier pirate it would really do a number on the government's reputation. Especially when you consider they had lost 3 shichibukai almost back to back (4 if you count crocodile from not too long ago prior) seems like they are working together... afterall the samurai was clearly chopped up by Law and we found pieces of him within M's holdings. Furthermore, Law is a doctor and the giant kid's claim that they were originally brought their for some kind of medical treatment.

normally it took decades for chemical compounds to just break into half (decay time) and it's impossible to completely disappear (100 -> 50 -> 25 ... 1.56 -> 0.78 -> ...) but it will never go to zero, except someone that can withstand all of that, decided to eat the leakage for lunch besides the "M" that we see in last chapter might be different to the gas/solid/liquid person that we saw in the previous chapter

The only part is the WG or Law would most likely keep the heart not destroy it. Luffy is a contender to the One piece. The Marines know Luffy's potential and so does law. Keeping or trading his heart to the WG would be beneficial. I could see Law removing Luffy's heart during surgery. Know one would notice it was gone unless Luffy was stabbed in the area were the heart would be. Also if you look at Law's power the body part still functions as long has Law does it with the Devil fruit. Two the Samurai head was breathing hard because his torso was fighting Brooks. That shows that even when the body part split up they feel each other. I could see Law operating on Luffy to save his life. He cuts him open takes the heart out with his powers. Then he sows Luffy back up fixes his problems and sends him on his marry way. So if the WG or Law had the heart they could kill Luffy when it best suits them, like after Luffy defeats all the pirates or reaches one piece. Why do all the work when you can just have someone else do it? It is kind of a good theory. Couple people on this forum has mentioned it. It is something to think about. The Facts are, Luffy life was saved by Law, Law did operation on Luffy, Law's powers allow the body part to maintain its function, Law did trade 100 pirates hearts to the WG for Shichibukai status, and Law is a skilled doctor. Oda could have easily changed the story around. Like instead of Luffy going with Law, Shanks takes luffy and has Crocus do the life saving surgery. Oda could have also used vegapunk or even made up a doctor. Instead Oda chooses Law of all doctors with the power to split body parts. The facts that mentioned above and in other posting are some what a little to convenient to be just coincidental. We don't know the detail of the trade between Law and WG. They could have been living hearts and one of them could have been Luffy's. Now what could you do with 100 beating hearts? The WG could manipulate the pirates into doing things like spying, information, killing them, and even make them work for the WG. It would be like Pirates of the Carribbean. I doubt Luffy would accept being manipulated like that. So the best option for WG or Law is to kill Luffy after he has finished destroying the competition or found one piece. You and everyone else who thought about the idea could be on to something. Last edited by grey_1960; 2012-03-10 at 07:30. |

I can easily see Buggy lucking his way through his postion as Shichbukai. His DF can be very useful, if only he learns to utilise it better and at least attempt to get a little stronger.... But his reputation alone will keep most people away - since they're not exactly gonna want the WG on their trail or Shanks for that matter. |

Anyways, kinda surprised that nobody else seemed to bring it up yet, but I think that it's pretty much guaranteed that Law has some degree of mastery over haki at this point. Though if I had to guess, he'd be more proficient at using CoO than CoA. After all, as a pirate who doubles as a doctor/surgeon, I'd think that sharpening his observation skills would be of the utmost importance in order to separate those limbs/organs with such pinpoint precision..... |

Remember Mihawk's speech to Zoro when they first met? 'Those who are truly strong can gauge the true strength of their opponents'. It would be pretty ridiculous for the WG to offer Buggy a spot on the Shichibukai.

Is it really, now? Putting his physical strength aside, Buggy still had enough charm and charisma to gain all those followers from Impel Down. And I think I mentioned this before, but his reputation and influence could more than make up for his lack of physical power if he ends up recruiting more powerful pirates by his side. And frankly, if Marineford was any indication, any new followers he gained over the skip would be too blinded by their admiration for him to realize how strong he really is. Another thing to realize is that recruiting Buggy would actually make for good publicity for the WG: "Hey guys, remember that pirate king we decapitated a couple decades ago? Of course you do! We even killed his son in that big war a couple years back! Well, guess what? We even got one of his top men to join our side! And he's a dude who can't die if you cut him apart! Oh, AND he's got a big group of well-known pirates as part of his crew too, BTW. WG, WUT WUT!" |

Even if they go the heart route One piece has way to many parties and the story is way bigger then Pirates of the Carribbean. That heart issue would only be fraction of the issue. As for Haki I don't know if it can. But if Rayleigh did not catch it over the two years with Luffy then I do not see him catching it now. Law's power allow the body part to function without having to be there. Luffy would not notice until someone inflicted damage to it. Last edited by grey_1960; 2012-03-11 at 23:55. |
