Buggy is very vain and egotistical and seeks to be glorified and feared by others. He does not spend much of his time improving his own abilities to become a powerful fighter, but rather focuses mainly on recruiting powerful subordinates who do the hard work while simultaneously being subjected to him. If presented with an opportunity to make himself look good and recruit powerful followers, Buggy will take it. He is incredibly sensitive about the appearance of his nose.
