Well, FD, here is the thing. Buggy was one of the strongest pirates in the East Blue, but that is the weakest of the four seas. Don't forget he has quite handily defeated by a rookie pirate, and among Roger's crew, he is the only one so far without any real special powers. Crocus takes bazooka blasts like a pro and is an amazing doctor, Shanks is a Yonko with one arm, and Rayleigh can match up against an admiral even though he is getting on in his years. If you look at the crew as a whole, he sucks, to be completely honest. And then we go to Impel Down, where he was kept in Level One, the area with the weakest prisoners. Even Mr. 2 was held on Level Three. Honestly, Buggy isn't the weakest of the weak, but he is pretty freakin weak.
