Fan scans (I'd recommend reading for the chapter notes)
THEIR BOUNTIES ARE HOW MUCH?! Well whatever, it's time to party! ...Or so it seems! Ryokugyu finally makes his debut and seems ready for a fight; Robin is searching out the ancient weapon Pluton! And, wait a sec, they declared WHOM the new Emperors of the Sea?!
What did you think of this week's chapter?
Lol was shanks talking about Buggy to the gorosei? Idk how else he got that nod. I assumed the emperors were emperors because they were emperors, not like top 4 greatest threats in the new world, cus then shouldn't dragon be like #1 emperor?
I know it's a gag and nowhere near the worst development, but I wanna be salty about one piece
Dragon and the Revolutionary Army are on the Red Line IIRC. Dragon was called world's most notorious criminal, but I think he poses a different threat to the World Government than the Emperors do
Yea was looking it up and the thing with peachbeard was paradise and not the new world, had gotten it confused
if shanks was talking about buggy that would be the funniest bit on one piece, it would rule, also like we don't know what happened outside wano, and buggy is on paper a really good candidate, he has a huge crew, "fought" in the paramount war, was a part of Roger's crew, and his defeat by the rookie luffy seems less and less embarassing the more notorious luffy gets, and with the ending of the warlords maybe some of them joined up with buggy like wevil could maybe because he technically knows his dad, i don't know anything could have happened outside wano
i mean, buggy has a massive crew. that was his thing as a warlord. so i totally buy that he started doing emperor stuff after the warlords got shut down. or maybe his crew started claiming islands without his approval and he just had to go along with it.
Yea it's no nika fruit or hiyori's grandad sitting by while she gets whored for a decade +, but I wanna complain damn it!
Emperors are the greatest threats with power and influence. Dragon is a threat in that he directly challenges the power structure of the World Government. The Emperors don't really directly attack the government and are happy to stay in their areas of the New World.
Buggy likely got it from already having territory and influence due to his business as a warlord. Pirates all over were working as mercenaries and flying his flag in order to get around any issues with the marines. This probably led to Buggy's name becoming increasingly well-known throughout the world. He also likely did something after escaping or somehow defeating the marines sent after him. A good theory is that he connected with other warlords and formed his own mini Rox crew.
