The seed

Why this matters

Buggy is canonically a former apprentice of the Roger Pirates (already in his crews_served); this line is an early, easily-overlooked tell that Buggy’s history reaches into the New World’s great-power era, not merely East Blue. Pre-loads his later Roger-Pirates-past reveals and his absurd “luck/reputation” running gag (the WG/world over-reading his proximity to legends).
