Yeah, that's kind of how I feel about Buggy. He actually reminds me a lot of Usopp (another character who seems to be maligned around these parts, sadly) in the sense that he still has resourceful methods of fighting against powerful enemies to make up for his lack of physical power. For instance, we saw how he was able to make those bombs in Impel Down that were powerful enough to wound the Awakened minotaur guardian. Maybe at Marineford he'll shock the world by actually wounding a Shichibukai or admiral, even if it's completely by accident (he's going to get a huge bounty hike nonetheless, but at least that way it would be further justified). Yep, I have high hopes for whatever it is that Buggy's got planned......

Zoro meeting a master swordsman was something that me, james0246 and some others were speculating last year around the end of the Sabaody arc. I actually didn't agree with the idea at first, but it's something I'm cool with now. Besides, the shadowy figure could easily be some old member of Gold Roger's pirate crew, for all we know (remember, Rayleigh said that he didn't know where his former comrades went after the crew disbanded).....
