It is very obvious for me that Doffy is a talented one. Haoshoku at very young age, combine with his fierce personality, aggresive, his strong will to survive, trained by Trebol and Diamante. They want Doffy to be king so badly. These are the reason that I think he awaken his DF, naturally, and not through some kind of drug (at least from my view). Luffy and Doffy acquired the DF ability at very young age too but Luffy spent his childhood mostly with Ace and Sabo (non DF user). No body trained Luffy to use his ability until Rayleigh came in.

You are right about Buggy. Indeed he helped out Luffy but seems like unintentionally. He tried to take advantage of something but ended up helping Luffy...greatly helping Luffy. Shanks, Crocus, Rayleigh, Mink tribe, they are all Luffy's first encounter which contribute to a major adventure. That is why Buggy was not mentioned. Luffy encountered Buggy for the first time only to fight.
