WHAT IF: Buggy Joined Shank's Crew? - One Piece Discussion | Tekking101 

Shanks: *gives Luffy his hat Luffy then asks for Buggy's nose. Buggy: .....

The weirdest thing about Buggy and his crew is that they're the pirates that operated the most like real world pirates. Going after easy targets and running when things might get dangerous. Oda just gave them a Circus theme to tone them down.

No, replace Ben Beckman with Buggy at Marineford. I want to hear Kizaru say "Ohhh, Buggy D Clown"

The saddest thing about buggy joining shanks Is that ace would never have eaten meat and had a party with buggy meaning he would have fought blackbeard while he was hungry

*Buggy and Shanks discussing the crews name* Shanks : Maybe we should name it the Red Hair Pirates Buggy : Who's nose is RED? *leaves*

You mean if shanks joined buggy’s crew

I like to think Buggy fights using knives because he's not afraid of cutting himself by accident.

Buggy was the one to show the video feed of Marineford & Whitebeard’s speech to the world.

So ur telling me.. The Legend , the greatest. The strongest man. A great pirate , who sailed with Roger. Is joining a kid with red hair.

Buggy could potentially split his atoms. Awakened Buggy goes nuclear.

I feel like you should have mentioned that, memes aside, Buggy is really smart. Like, he created Buggy Ball and Special Muggy Ball. And I am pretty sure it is implied he made the Muggy ball in Impale Down. Also, he made that gun mechanism in his prison shoe... I feel like people don't talk enough about how insane engineer/chemist Buggy actually is. Imagine Red Force armed with Buggy Ball canons and Yassop shooting Muggy Balls ... holy Enel on the moon, that sounds terrifying

I don't think Shanks started his journey from luffy's village....because when he meets whitebeard...whitebeard says that everyone was shocked when a powerful man like shanks came back from the east blue missing an arm....which implies that even before he stayed in luffy's village....he was already an established,strong and renowned pirate .

Title: "Buggy Joined Shanks's Crew" Comments: You mean "Shanks Joins Buggy's Crew"

For new fans of One Piece who see all these people saying Buggy is super strong, than watching him lose in early OP, they will think he got some insane buff XD

All memes aside, Buggy would be the Usopp of the crew. Constantly claiming to be captain and wanting to be captain, trying to have the crew named after him, comic relief but has serious development, and THEY ARE BOTH NOSE BOYS

One thing, people never give credit to buggy for this, but if buggy wasn’t at Marineford, the public would not have known about how ace and Whitebeard died, etc, since he was hiding the snail that was recording it.

Oh, Shanks would have easily conquered the New World. No doubt.

Buggy is greedy, has insane luck and very high charisma. Nevermind the Strawhats, Shanks journey would have been extremely different.

Buggy would have been like "Here take this Red Nose and give it back when you have became a great pirate."

If Buggy were a part of Shanks' crew, the broadcast where Ace was killed, Blackbeard betrayed the marines, heard Whitebeard say "THE ONE PIECE... IS REAL!", how Whitebeard died, and how shanks ended the war would never have happened. Honestly, Buggy was instrumental to how the world changed during and after the Timeskip, as Blackbeard was more feared than he otherwise would have been, as the marines could not cover this up, and the world would have heard Whitebeard, the only person outside of Roger's crew who could possibly know what the one piece is or where it's located, say that it exists, reinvigorating the era. Buggy was, without question, one of the most important members of the ENTIRE marineford arc and how it shaped and continues to shape the rest of the story

Here's a possible What if: "What if Bentham/Bon Clay escaped from Impel Down with everyone else" Would he be invited to the Straw Hats? Would he join? I think he would go Momoiro Island and possibly train there over the two years before arriving in Sabaody with Sanji if he accepted the offer.

buggy would make a decent first mate, hes shown that he has management and command skills required of a First, and hes decent at managing image wich while thats more of a captains job he would be excellent at taking the crews infamy and capitalizing on it

Buggy "no flashy way I'm joining YOUR CREW, with you as the captain " Shanks "OK fine ill join your crew"

I really feel as comedic as it is, buggy has god level charisma and would actually be responsible for the red hair pirates gaining a massive fleet

If buggy joined shanks crew, shanks would’ve dye his hair blue and call his crew “blue haired pirates”

Tekking never fails to amaze me with his incredible personality.

I think that Alvida would have ended up filling in a lot of the moments Buggy gave us in this senario. Probably not in Orange Town, I think from there to Arlong would have gone differently like you suggested, but I think Alvida would have been the one who would have tried to execute Luffy at Louge Town at the very least, probably in a 'if i can't have you, no one can!' kind of way and her overall obsession with Ludfy probably being a bit more intense without someone else being there to balance it out. If Alvida got captured and put into Impel Down, she could be in Level 1 since she was also a reletivly low bounty pirate if my memory serves me right (which isnt always so take that with a grain of salt), so she would likely be the one who helped Luffy through the Crimson Hell with her Slip Slip ability. Maybe she could rally the other prisoners into a riot with the power of sexy or something because I doubt Alvida would have the levels of sheer charisma that Buggy had. She'd also end up replacing Buggy at Marineford and probably would have done similar things, like finding the snail and keeping the broadcast going. Not sure if Alvida would have been made a Warlord since she dosnt have the past Buggy has to help make people think shes stronger than she actually is, but i can see her getting the status if she has the followers Buggy did and pulling a Hancock with treating everyone like theyre below her, and inadvertently making everyone think shes stronger and more important than she actually is. Side note, Alvida and Hancock as Warlords at the same time as having Luffy obsessions is a terrifying thought.

Buggy would be the only Red Hair member with devil fruit.

The madman actually followed through on the what if. Truly discussing the best One Piece character Buggy.

That’s an unseen level of power the likes of which this world has never known.

On a serious note, the fact that Buggy was even on Roger's crew makes me wonder exactly what his significance to the story will be in the end. I mean Shanks was Luffy's sole motivation to become a great pirate, but drawing a connection between Shanks and Buggy? He has to have some greater role, if not now at some point.

Moral of this video: Buggy is the most important character on this manga

Buggy in Shank’s crew would be broken, his combination attack would be giving Shanks a second arm, and they’d be so synchronized that even Haki couldn’t stop them. Blackbeard would die before Luffy even gets a chance, what’s 2 DFs when you got a non DF badass with a DF infused arm? Edit: Spelling mistakes

If Buggy joined Shank’s crew it would become Buggy’s crew

I'm for real that Buggy ain't that weak he isn't just serious in all of his battles. A pirate king wouldn't let Buggy join if he didn't see any potential. I hope Oda really show how strong Buggy is.

The Red Pirates. Red Hair - Captain Red Nose - Vice Captain It actually works.

We all know shanks would just hold him back.

A cool name would be "The Red Pirates" you know cause read hair and red nose. And the joly roger would be the same skull shanks has but with a red nose.

...I just thought of something morbidly hilarious. Imagine if this version of Buggy had a variation of Shigan where he points his hand like a gun and fires off the end of his finger like a bullet, and it was Buggy showing off that technique and bragging about how flashy it was to Luffy that inspired him to fight bare-handed and name his attacks after guns; because Luffy thought Buggy was cool.

competent buggy is scary, imagine him going full body armament and then splitting into hundreds of sharp flying disks

I imagine this AU Version of Buggy fighting like Hisoka from HxH. So like a Trickster who uses magic tricks, smokebombs, throwing knives etc. But most importantly with the Power of *SCHWING* Also Buggy teaching and mentoring Luffy would be really cool.

Sliced griffen combo Where buggy holds the person in place and then shanks cuts the dude

The "you've already lost scene" one would've made it into the top 10 moments of one piece poll you made for sure, I can totally imagine that scene in the wildest of scenarios. Buggy shows up last minute in the fight against Kaido with everyone on their last legs and BAM, Enma carving Kaido from the back this time going right through his scars.

Matt, if Buggy was in the crew when Shanks met Luffy, it would have been entirely possible that Luffy would have never eaten the gomu gomu no mi. let's not forget that Buggy already lost a fruit he wanted to sell due to being careless, he would never make the same mistake again, meaning he would make it his personal task to keep that fruit SAFE.

Buggy should make a joke about how shanks wished he had his devil fruit

Pleeaase do a video on luffys unbelievable amounts of clout in the story tekking!

It’s Crazy how one of the first villains in this story is so important to the story now.

In regard to the scafold scene: I feel like story-wise Alvida would have taken place. Since she had to build a crew from scratch and get a new ship instead of just joining Buggy's she'd harbor a grudge and scheme against him instead of being kind of infatuated. Make her character a little more relevant than a sidekick and basically take over Buggy's previous roll in the story.

Seeing this video now with it's beggining segment in light of recent info is so funny, it's actually Buggy saying "Let's continue Roger's legacy! We'll go after the One Piece!" and it's now Shanks saying "Yeah, nah, I don't really feel like it, wanna join me?"

10 years from now , tekking will rewatch this video and this dance won't let him sleep for few years.

i just realised how similar Buggy's and Law's fruits are. Buggy's is like the weaker version like Bonclay and Caterina Devon or Akainu and Ace

That scene with Aokiji you painted literally gave me chills. Would be hella epic. I really like this more badass version of Buggy!

I can imagine Mihawk comes to duel Shanks, and Shanks gets him to fight Buggy first just to piss him off

I think shanks might have been in paradise or just travelled the grandline before he met raleigh, shanks was already a big name pirate when he came to luffys village because whitebeard was talking about how everyone was surprised when shank's arm was gone

I watch these videos to go to sleep, it’s nice and long so you can drift off but not too boring to where I get bored, plus it’s one piece! Keep up the good work vro !!

The Beast Pirates and Big Mom Pirates wouldn’t even be considered rivals to the Red Haired Pirates

This guy's asking the real questions. On another note, what if Con D. Oriano came to his senses and remembered his nakama, rejoining them instead of rejecting them? The Straw Hats probably would've already claimed the One Piece by now, I reckon.

imagine in Buggy's intro somewhere, he walks around and some low class thugs tried to mess with him and he just smirks with his arms on his pocket and he just casually walks and the thugs tried to attack him and one by one they all fall down as Buggy just casually walks smirking. just like Shanks' walking and Whitebeard's crew starts collapsing but it's Buggy slicing and killing everyone down

Just came to check your growth, I'm happy for you man.

Love how much effort you put into your videos. There bangers keep it up

Buggy was the usopp of Rogers crew "Dangerous island sickness"

The real question is WHAT IF Shanks join Buggy’s crew. Just try to imagine Shanks as a Crown

i'm so glad tekking's videos are unscripted stream of consciousness rambles like this, because that genuine moment where he gets that thought about bartolomeo is one of the few recorded examples of a mind being blown

You gave me so many ideas for epic scenes to draw. Like, so many.

There is a fanfic series in which the whole "They haven't seen each other in decades" thing is only a front and they are secretly still very close, but since Buggy didn't want to draw the marine's attention or to be under anyone anymore, they formed their own crews and hide their relationship. That is now my official head canon.

Listening to this discussion just made me realize something about how Oda has changed Buggy's character throughout this story. In the beginning he was a lot like the Joker from the earlier 60's TV show and then later becomes like the 80's version played by Jack Nicholson and may wind up being a lot like the Joker from the Dark Knight movie. If he joins Shank's crew he could easily wind up wearing a surprisingly stylish but strangely colored Suit.

Tekking you make my day whenever I watch your videos, keep on doing you

Man tekking is the best.....i love his personality....he's super passionate....i'm never tired or bored when he makes this amazing videos infact it's reverse....i always watch his videos...bored or not!!!

Is it canon that Buggy’s natural hair color is blonde. Wouldn’t be the only time someone dyed their hair, like Sengoku stoped dying his hair after the time skip.

Here's an idea for another what if: What if Luffy never ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi?

Thank you for this. I didn't know I needed this AU until watching this video

just a correction, Shanks had to be in the grand line before losing his arms cause Whitebeard said that before losing the arm he already had a big name. So its implied that he went in and out of the grand line at least 1 time

Honestly, Luffy would have died in Impel Down without Buggy

cant believe buggy had a great reason for not joining

Always fun to come back to an old tekking video

There really not enough what if one piece videos. Tnx Tekking sama!

I wanna see Buggy meet Rayleigh moment in the story.... That would be awesome 😍😍

RIP to all those marines and vice admirals that went to eliminate Lord Buggy

I never knew I needed this what if until last video and now I can stop thinking about it.

I actually really want to see more of this i would genuinely watch a 2 hour video of this going really in depth

What if buggy gave him a fake nose that looked like his AND shanks gave him the straw hat.

Why does everything that Tekking just describes about Buggy sounds a lot like Hisoka. IF Buggy were to joined Shanks crew, then he wouldn’t be known as the only man in history to ever served under two PK. The first as Gol D. Roger’s apprentice and the second as Monkey D. Luffy right right... right hand man. His crew might be the last to join the SHGF, but it’ll stand at the top of them all.

Oh, this is a video I've GOT to watch!!!

Awsam Video! ^_^

So in all reality with the Buggy overpowered jokes there was the scene in the anime where the moment he avoid getting cut by Mihawk, but we also see him do with his clothes (of course I haven't seen the manga panel). So if he awaken his devil fruit would that mean he can separate certain object at a great distance like if Mihawk used his sword when Buggy awaken his devil fruit as the slice happen.... *Snap* and Mihawk sword is in a thousand pieces. Like if he truly awaken it imagine that he could make any non living object into a thousand pieces.

I wouldn’t say shanks was laying low over those 10 years exactly. That’s when he was having those legendary clashes with Mihawk I’m pretty sure. The opposite of laying low actually lol

Going back to this video it's kind of funny how Tekking's scenario was almost completely reversed and it was actually buggy raring to go and shanks who told him he wasn't ready yet

Dude I LOVE YOUR ENERGY! You are so fun

If Buggys awekenkng was separating things around him, he would be able to seperete weapons... He would be able to hide them and even make clouthus out of them

Buggy would give Luffy his nose.

I love how enthusiastic Tekking is

Dude, this is my favorite one piece what if yet

I would think that the Buggy would be more of a trickster that a clown if he joined Shanks.

i want buggy to get stronger a lot stronger.

You got me on the Buggy on the title.

This guy is a blessing. Dude literally radiates positive energy

Shanks would not get his scar because the legendary buggy would have defeated Blackbeard single handedly

well it is Buggy Day in the One piece reddit good timing Tekking

i fucking love hearing you talk about what you love! im subbed now

i you are a legend talking for 40 min non stop!!!
