why is buggy an emperor

As a dedicated One Piece fan, I can only attribute Buggy attaining the status of 'Emperor' to a combination of luck, combined skills of networking speed and his uncanny ability for self-preservation that is completely counter-intuitively clever. Since meeting Buggy in the Orange Town arc, he has been turning his life around all the time. Whatever stunts and ridiculous tricks he pulls off, Buggy has always managed to meet powerful allies and so survive through deadly situations.

A comical figure with seemingly little promise at all, the character of Buggy somehow rose to win himself an Emperor's title-historically reserved for pirates of the first caliber. However, you ask: How in the world can a funny and seemingly untalented pirate like Buggy become an Emperor? It is a high-grade mix of fate and strategic alliances. Buggy is as lachrymal in expression as he is humorous by nature. Fortunately, Buggy always manages to come across situations where he meets powerful allies-like the prisoners of Impel Down. Buggy has the power to 'bust' himself, too. Hence this unorthodox fighter, and all those alliances of convenience, are essential in helping him reach the top and become Emperor-a tale both bewildering and fascinating.

In the 'One Piece' saga, Buggy being declared an 'Emperor' can be looked upon as satire those immense titles sometimes conferred upon people in piratical circles. Buggy is not depicted as the most powerful or fearsome character. Instead, his role is broadcasted more as clownishly absurd figure who, through a series of splodged dabs luck upon canvas, fortunate circumstances time and again. So too with Buggy. Time and again he steps back from death's abyss, stumbling across a chance to escape the Impel Down prison break. Always it seems that this fellow is pulling rabbits out of an empty top hat, but carrying off every move with flair. In many ways, his rise to Emperor status is more of a product lip service than real fighting ability. By cultivating strategic relationships and the skill with which he flaps his lips.
