One Piece enthusiasts are abuzz with excitement as the stage is set for the much-anticipated Final Saga of the original manga series.
Recently, the curtain was drawn back to reveal the emblematic Jolly Roger logo representing the newly formed Cross Guild. This revealing comes hot on the heels of the conclusion of the Wano Country arc, where revelations abound, leaving fans eager for what lies ahead.
Following the events at Onigashima, where Luffy and the Straw Hats faced off against formidable foes like Big Mom and Kaido, insights into the happenings across the seas began to surface.
Among these revelations was the unexpected rise of Buggy to the status of Emperor of the Sea, alongside Luffy himself.

In a delightful twist, it was disclosed that while formidable figures like Law and Kid were busy toppling emperors, Buggy managed to ascend to this prestigious position through a series of comical mishaps.
His inadvertent elevation to emperor status was attributed to his involvement with the Cross Guild, a newly formed alliance that has sent shockwaves through the World Government.
The Cross Guild, comprising Buggy, Crocodile, and Hawkeye Mihawk, emerged in the aftermath of the dissolution of the Seven Warlords system.
Despite promotional material positioning Buggy as the leader, behind closed doors, Crocodile and Mihawk orchestrated this arrangement to divert attention away from themselves and onto Buggy, leaving him perpetually on edge.
As the Cross Guild’s notoriety burgeons, their bounties on the Marines have galvanized both pirates and civilians alike. The promise of hefty rewards has emboldened many to align themselves with the pirate group, posing a significant threat to the status quo and foreshadowing potential challenges for Luffy and his comrades in the Final Saga.
As the stakes escalate and the Cross Guild’s influence looms large, the stage is set for a gripping conclusion to Eiichiro Oda’s epic tale of adventure, camaraderie, and the pursuit of dreams.
