User blog comment:Monkey.D.Me/All Hail Buggy the Royal Shichibukai/@comment-3125914-20111203162009

I can't imagine Buggy becoming a Shichibukai because of his weakness (only 15,000,000 for his head).He didn't do anything during the war, except stealing a Den Den Mushi and broadcasting himself acting like an idiot. Blackbeard didn't have a bounty but he was far stronger than Buggy and he proved that by capturing Ace. But I can imagine those from the World Government being interested in him because of his connections  to Shanks and Roger. And there's that bat and Mr. 3's reaction after reading the letter, so I think there's a high possibility for him to become a royal Shichibukai.
