Occasionally, he will mishear what others say as an insult about him or his nose, possibly due to paranoia.<!--color--></span> <span style="color:red">In his first appearance he had crossbones going down his face forming an X; he also had two blue lines near both of his eyes, red lipstick and his jolly roger (with a clown nose) on his hat. However, in later episodes after the Loguetown arc his look changes, and he now has two green dots on both sides of his head and four big green dots on the rim of his hat, which still has the jolly roger on it. He also has green eyeliner and green lipstick, with a curvy line going down both sides of his face.<!--color--></span> <span style="color:blue"><u><strong><em>Personality</em></strong></u><!--color--></span> <span style="color:red">Buggy will often feign intelligence, only to have his true incompetence revealed. Although he is not "stupid" in the traditional sense, he is prone to gross misjudgments that cost him; usually this is due to his overconfidence. In the original Japanese version of One Piece, he inserts<!--color--></span> <span style="color:blue">Hade ni "Flashy"<!--color--></span>, <span style="color:red">into almost every sentence he speaks<!--color--></span> <span style="color:blue">("Die With Flash! You Flashy Bastard!").<!--color--></span> <span style="color:red">He has a number of running gags in the series, including his habit of not noticing who he is speaking to until moments after greeting him. He also has what some might consider "dumb luck"; no matter what happens to him he is lucky enough to survive somehow (including being struck by lightning at Loguetown). Buggy is one of the few villains to become reformed after facing Luffy, though only slightly. Before his loss he was willing to use his crew as human shields, while afterwards he shows a lot more care about their well being. He also begins to accept people's kindness, though he can still be cruel to anyone who isn't a member of his crew or is aiding him in his goals. He also is fun loving and displays a huge fondness for parties, admiring those who are equally fun loving (strangely, he shares this trait with Shanks). He also has a strong love of treasure. Unfortunately (for him) his obsession with treasure led to him leaving himself open in his first encounter with Luffy to attack Nami who was stealing them and was arguably the sole reason for his loss. Buggy fails to understand how anything but gold, silver or jewels can be considered<!--color--></span> <span style="color:blue">"Treasure";<!--color--></span> <span style="color:red">an opinion which apparently hasn't changed in over 22 years even though so far it has led to constant failure.<!--color--></span> <span style="color:blue"><u><strong><em>Devil Fruit</em></strong></u><!--color--></span> <span style="color:red">Buggy accidentally consumed the <strong><em>Bara Bara no Mi</em></strong>, a Devil Fruit which allows him to separate his body parts and control them independent of each other, but robbed him of the ability to swim, which, according to Shanks (back when the two were still cabin boys at Roger's ship) was excellent at. The abilities gained from this fruit also make Buggy immune to slashing, cutting and cleaving attack; any such attack just separates him into his component parts. In addition, most of his body is capable of flying through the air, with enough force to send a man flying through a wall - with the crucial exception of his feet. Even though the parts are separate, Buggy can still feel what the part feels. Though Buggy is a strong fighter and his Devil Fruit power makes him almost invincible, he was constantly leaving himself open in the latter half of his match for Luffy due to distractions, resulting in many careless mistakes. A weakness of his fruit is that if a component part is restrained, he can't use the component part, shown by Nami when she restrained a part of his body in their first fight with him.<!--color--></span> <span style="color:blue"><u><strong><em>Buggy's Gif:</em></strong></u><!--color--></span> <div class="quotetext"><img src="http://xs435.xs.to/xs435/09025/buggy_laughs861.gif" border="0"> <img src="http://xs135.xs.to/xs135/09025/buggy_pose883.gif" border="0"> <img src="http://xs435.xs.to/xs435/09025/buggy_working743.gif" border="0"> <img src="http://xs135.xs.to/xs135/09025/buggy__s_skills971.gif" border="0"><!--quote--></div>
