Buggy has a high regard for himself, although he isn't really someone who should be treated that way. He is the embodiment of an oxymoron—wanting to be the center of attention but will immediately flee upon the face of danger. Instead of focusing on improving his Devil Fruit abilities, he instead focuses on getting subordinates who easily fall for his flashy tricks and make them do the hard work instead. He is also quite the delusional captain, often stuck in his far-fetched daydreams.
