I never really thought about this shock theory before. However, I do not see a way to disprove it completely because he was aware he was about to get slashed when faced Zoro and he was surprised when he was with Hawkeye. I also could not find anything else that disproved this theory. However, it would be tragic if this theory were true because Buggy's fruit would be rather terrible. I say this because most logia type can do most of what Buggy can do if this Hypothesis is true. Such as be immune to slashing but on top of that they can also be immune to bullets.

So for this next part we are going to ignore kairoseki because it is weird. However, looking at anyone who has fallen in water, one notices that their energy is completely zapped (we are ignoring the part when Luffy half-swam because I think that was just added for comical effect [DirectVid, Episode:234, Time: 5:48-6:10]). This is important to know because it takes energy to use any devil fruit abilty let alone move. Basically, because they have no energy, they cannot use their devil fruit ability. This can be proven by looking at the movie Strong World [Fastvideo 5th video, Time: 17:55-18:04]. It is clearly shown that luffy is in water and he is no longer in Gear Second. Why is this? Is it because the water nullified his rubber ability? No, that cannot be true. If it were true then the blood pressure would instantly kill him because that is how gear second works. One of the only explanations is that it took away his energy. And because it takes a lot of energy to use Gear Second in order to pump the blood, one can assume that the water causes the effect of energy loss on a devil fruit user. If you do not find the movie to be credible it is also shown when chopper is in monster form on Enies Lobby[Fastvideo, Episode: 296, Time: 19:09-19:16]. Here it is shown that chopper is stopped from being in his monster form. Now this is the foundation of the rest of the stuff I want to talk about. If this is untrue then the rest of what I have to say is no longer credible.

The theory I support is that buggy is permantaly changed. However, the shocked theory could be true. I do not see any other type of theory to be true. The one that he has predefined sections is completely false because Hawkeye cut him up into extremely tiny slices and it seemed to be random cuts. Therefore, I say that it takes energy for him to break apart. This seems like a very logical idea because it all makes sense when we look at the effects of water. However, it is completely different for kairoseki. Kairoseki doesn't necessarily take away one's energy. Just look at ace. Therefore, Buggy's powers might be nullified if this is put on him.

However, if Buggy's abilities were not nullified by karioseki and instead resulted in loss of energy like Luffy, his DF abilities would suddenly be powerful because you could just cut his wrists off and then the handcuffs would falloff, allowing Buggy to be free. This of course has no factual information to back it up and is only based on opinion. However, when he was in Impel Down he was not put in kairoseki handcuffs (at least I don't think so). Also, he states that he can never be killed by a sword [Fastvideo, Episode: 5, Time: 16:41]. Now he might just be exaggerating or he could actually mean that he could never be killed by the sword no matter what. Also, this is an earlier episode so it might not be credible.

So there you have it. The shock theory could be true but I like the Energy theory better. I have left a lot of stuff out but please tell me the things you find wrong about what I have to say. I hoped this helped.
