In the Hive Island battle, during his fight with King, Buggy's Observation Haki was enhanced, reaching an advanced level. Relying on his Observation Haki, Devil Fruit ability, Supreme Grade Great Sword, Ace, and Armament Haki, Buggy, despite being seriously injured, managed to win.
Moria, Tiger, Jinbe, and all the members of the Red-Haired Pirates also successfully defeated the members of King's pirate crew. The Red-Haired Pirates took over Hive Island.
After the battle, Tiger left Hive Island. He chose to go to Sky Island to manage the Fish-Men's order. He left Jinbe on Hive Island to join the Red-Haired Pirates, maintaining the relationship between the two sides and making up for Arlong's harm to the Red-Haired Pirates.
After some consideration, Jinbe joined the Red-Haired Pirates. As for Tiger's departure, Buggy didn't stop him. On the one hand, Sky Island did need someone with a high position among the Fish-Men to manage it, and Tiger was the most suitable candidate. On the other hand, Tiger didn't intend to join the Red-Haired Pirates. He had his own plans. Buggy couldn't force him. And there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Because of his serious injuries, Buggy stayed on Hive Island for a while. His bounty also rose to 500 million Berries because of his victory against King.
During this time, under the management of Trafalgar D. Water Law, Hive Island quickly recovered its prosperity. Under his business management skills, Hive Island became even more prosperous and soon became a major money pit in the sea.
During this time, Buggy also sent Enel and Shiryu to Punk Hazard. They quickly found Caesar Clown and captured him. After some threats and inducements, he quickly contacted his contact in the New World, the Donquixote Family member, Vergo, and tricked him into coming to Punk Hazard with a series of lies. Enel and Shiryu easily took down Vergo.
Then, Enel and Shiryu took Caesar Clown and Vergo back to Hive Island. Caesar Clown was directly recruited by Buggy and joined the Red-Haired Pirates. Vergo wasn't killed directly. Instead, he was used to contact Doflamingo and make a deal. Buggy traded Vergo for the Goro Goro no Mi.
Doflamingo, who knew about this, was naturally very angry. But after some thought, and because of Vergo's identity, he agreed to Buggy's terms. Soon, he personally led his subordinates to Hive Island and gave Buggy the Goro Goro no Mi.
After completing the trade, Buggy didn't make things difficult for Doflamingo. He released Vergo and let him leave Hive Island safely with Doflamingo. After obtaining the Goro Goro no Mi, Buggy gave it to Trafalgar D. Water Law and let him eat it.
After that, Buggy released information about Vergo's identity and his purpose of infiltrating the Marines. He specifically told the Marines about this.
The Marines, of course, couldn't remain indifferent after hearing this. Under the leadership of Garp, the Marines launched a major attack on the Donquixote Family in the North Blue.
The Donquixote Family's above-ground forces were wiped out by the Marines, and their underground forces suffered heavy losses. Buggy, on the other hand, avenged his grudge without any losses.
Some time later, Perospero of the Big Mom Pirates, who had received news about Buggy, also came to Hive Island with his own purpose. He found Buggy.
After some conversation, he revealed his purpose. He wanted Buggy to join the Big Mom Pirates and promised to marry Smoothie to Buggy.
Buggy didn't immediately refuse or agree. Joining was out of the question. As for breaking ties, he would have to do that when he was prepared. After some dodging and delaying, Buggy agreed to personally attend Big Mom's tea party in six months and give her a definite answer.
Although Perospero didn't get a definite answer, after hearing Buggy say this, he contacted Big Mom. After getting Big Mom's confirmation, he left Hive Island directly.
Of course, Big Mom also warned Buggy through the Den Den Mushi. She warned Buggy that if he didn't attend the tea party, she would personally lead the Big Mom Pirates to find trouble with him.
After Perospero left, Buggy focused on strengthening his crew's training and gave advice to those who had eaten Devil Fruits, helping them improve their strength. After this preparation, he set off for Whole Cake Island.
On his journey, Buggy unexpectedly encountered Crocodile, who had lost an arm, on the sea. After a series of operations and promises that he would help him become stronger and seek revenge on Whitebeard, Crocodile also joined the Red-Haired Pirates and followed Buggy and his crew to Whole Cake Island.
Buggy and his crew reached Whole Cake Island before the tea party. During this time, Smoothie, one of the Three Sweet Commanders, came to cause trouble for Buggy and his crew. She told him to leave as soon as possible. Of course, Buggy didn't agree. A battle ensued, but it ended without a conclusion because Big Mom intervened. Smoothie could only helplessly give up her goal.
The tea party was held as scheduled. At the banquet, Big Mom revealed her purpose and expressed her intention to marry Smoothie to Buggy.
At this point, Buggy didn't hesitate any longer. He gave his answer. Buggy told Big Mom that he would never join the Big Mom Pirates. He also expressed his attitude. He didn't want to have a conflict with the Big Mom Pirates.
Hearing this answer, Big Mom didn't care about Buggy's attitude. Before Buggy finished speaking, the enraged Big Mom launched an attack on Buggy. The battle began immediately.
The war between the Red-Haired Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates began. This battle didn't end easily. The Red-Haired Pirates were at a huge disadvantage in the early stages. They were forced to leave Whole Cake Island under Big Mom's attack. Then, a long stalemate ensued. As the battle dragged on, the gap between the two sides narrowed. Buggy also learned Conqueror's Haki during his battle with Big Mom.
After mastering Conqueror's Haki, the gap between Buggy and Big Mom was almost nonexistent. After failing to gain any advantage, Big Mom gave up the war.
Of course, the members of the Red-Haired Pirates also made their own progress. Even Jessica and Trafalgar D. Water Law had greatly developed their Devil Fruits. The war ended a year later. Neither side gained any advantage. Buggy returned to Hive Island and became a dominant force in the sea.
In the following period, Buggy and his crew underwent rigorous training. Their strength continued to improve. Hive Island's reputation grew louder. The Red-Haired Pirates continued to expand. Many pirates came to join the Red-Haired Pirates, but these newly joined crew members were all peripheral members.
Until 1504 in the Pirate Calendar, Buggy received news of the death of Kozuki Oden. Their peaceful period ended. Buggy led Moria and all his crew members to Wano Country.
They went to Wano Country for two reasons: for Wano Country's territory and to avenge Moria.
Upon arriving in Wano Country, Buggy, under the pretext of avenging Kozuki Oden, began a war against the Beasts Pirates. In the early stages, the two sides were locked in a stalemate. But in the continuous battles with Kaido, Buggy awakened his Devil Fruit ability. Under the awakened power of the Chop-Chop Fruit, Kaido was completely outmatched. After a devastating battle, Kaido was seriously injured. He didn't even care about his crew members. He ran away and left Wano Country. Buggy and his crew occupied Wano Country after dealing with the remaining Beasts Pirates.
(After the Chop-Chop Fruit awakens, the ability can be used on any object. Every punch Buggy throws, space splits open. The effect is similar to the Gura Gura no Mi ability. The Devil Fruit ability affects any solid object, and any object will also split apart, even a part of the earth. Even a part of the earth splits apart under Buggy's punch.)
After that, Kaido and some of the remaining Beasts Pirates joined the Big Mom Pirates. Kaido and his crew didn't seek revenge on Buggy and his crew. The situation in the sea stabilized completely, and the Four Emperors officially formed.
The Four Emperors were: the Red-Haired Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Buggy Pirates.
The following few years were relatively peaceful. Kaido and Big Mom didn't seek revenge on Buggy during this time. The sea returned to peace.
During this time, Buggy also fought a duel with Whitebeard. But Whitebeard wasn't on the verge of death as he would be later. His strength was barely at its peak. But with Buggy's current strength, the battle ended in a draw after a great battle.
Crocodile also let go of his resentment during his battle with the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division.
During this time, Buggy also took Weevil to meet Whitebeard. The answer was, of course, Whitebeard's complete rejection. After receiving this answer, Weevil was naturally very disappointed. But with his intelligence, he returned to normal after a while. After Buggy comforted him, Weevil completely gave up on his relationship with Whitebeard.
In 1509 in the Pirate Calendar, Tiger, as in history, climbed the Red Line and reached Mariejois, the Holy Land of the Celestial Dragons. He freed countless slaves.
They managed to escape with the help of a mysterious force. After escaping, Tiger joined the Red-Haired Pirates.
Of course, the World Government, after learning this news, naturally came to find trouble with the Red-Haired Pirates. But Buggy wasn't someone who could be easily provoked. They fought, but there wasn't a major battle. After some consideration, the Marines gave up capturing Tiger. The sea returned to peace.
In 1521 in the Pirate Calendar, Monkey D. Luffy set sail. He quickly gained great fame. Then, Portgas D. Ace, captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division, was captured by the Marines. The Marines used him as bait to launch the Paramount War. Then, the war ended with the arrival of the Red-Haired Pirates and the Buggy Pirates. Ace was successfully rescued.
During this time, the Big Mom Pirates, at the instigation of the Marines, held back the Red-Haired Pirates. But with Buggy's help, the Big Mom Pirates suffered heavy losses. The Red-Haired Pirates successfully joined the Red-Haired Pirates in the Paramount War. The Marines suffered heavy losses in this battle. Marineford, the headquarters of the Marines, sank into the sea.
After rescuing Ace, both sides had reservations and didn't launch a final battle. After Marineford sank, the Marines directly left Marineford with their remaining forces. Buggy and his crew left with Ace.
In this battle, Whitebeard didn't die, but he was seriously injured. In the following years, the relationship between the Marines and the pirates completely deteriorated, and the World Government also joined in.
Over the next few years, Whitebeard completely disappeared from the public eye. Ace successfully took over the Whitebeard Pirates. His strength rapidly improved under the intentional guidance of Buggy and Shanks. He quickly reached the strength of a Marine admiral.
With Luffy's battle on Whole Cake Island, the Big Mom Pirates' position as one of the Four Emperors was taken by Monkey D. Luffy a few years later. Big Mom and Kaido, with the help of several forces, completely disappeared from the One Piece world.
As the pirate forces gradually unified, the Marines and the World Government began to attack the pirates with all their might.
In this battle that affected the entire world, Pluto, Poseidon, and Uranus appeared. Pluto and Poseidon restrained Uranus. These ancient weapons didn't play a significant role in this battle.
The World Government's resources also appeared in this battle. The 20 Kings from 800 years ago awakened. But the pirates didn't fall behind. Some hidden old monsters emerged, and the Revolutionary Army also joined the pirates.
And Vegapunk also sided with the pirates. The Marines' high-tech weapons were automatically destroyed when Vegapunk sided with the pirates, causing the battle to fall into a stalemate.
In the following period, the pirates and the World Government developed in different ways, with the four seas and the New World as their respective territories.
As time passed, with the joint constraints of the Four Emperors, the New World also gained order. A federal organization was established through the joint consultation of all forces to jointly manage the New World. The pirates' strength rapidly increased under the management of this organization.
The four seas, however, became increasingly chaotic because of the Celestial Dragons. They didn't improve but instead became more chaotic. Even the Marines' internal affairs were in turmoil. The older generation of strongmen all retired from the Marines. The new generation of strongmen, such as Borsalino, Kuzan, and Aokiji, directly retired from the Marines. The World Government's strength continued to weaken over time. Most of these retired Marines joined Buggy's side.
As the gap between the two sides' strength grew larger, the final battle finally began at the instigation of Buggy and his crew. This time, Buggy and his crew had an absolute advantage. The strength of the higher-ups on their side had greatly improved, while the strength of the other side had remained stagnant. The battle ended with the defeat of Im. This battle, which swept across the entire One Piece world, finally ended.
After this battle, the One Piece world entered the Federal Era. Buggy and the other higher-ups, after gaining the honor of being crowned kings, successively retired from the peak of power and completely disappeared from the public eye.
(The federal power structure: Every island, every village, could recommend a representative to be a representative of the federation. They would join the federal power structure. Before discussing any major matters, they would have to be decided by the federation. And finally, the decision would be confirmed by the chairman of the federation. The chairman of the federation must be chosen by all the representatives and has veto power. Of course, there are also institutions within the federation to restrain the chairman of the federation.)
