These red cannonballs, with Buggy's Jolly Roger painted on the front, can create gigantic and devastating explosions when fired from a cannon. Buggy claimed that with these cannonballs, combined with his Devil Fruit powers, the Bara Bara no Mi, he and his crew can conquer the Grand Line (though it should be noted that Buggy was incredibly arrogant, and even with his Buggy Balls, he was terrified of Whitebeard).
These balls were first used against Orange Town, and one of them was enough to destroy an entire row of houses.[1] Buggy attempted a third shot directly at Monkey D. Luffy for insulting his big red nose, but Luffy deflected it with his Gomu Gomu no Fusen technique, destroying the pub it was fired from.[2]
Muggy Balls[]
Later, by the time he was imprisoned in Impel Down and Monkey D. Luffy broke in to save his brother Portgas D. Ace, Buggy revealed he had developed a modified version of the Buggy Ball, renamed the Special Muggy Ball (特製マギー玉,Tokusei Magī Dama?). The difference between the Buggy Ball and the Muggy Ball is that the Muggy Ball is tiny, around the size of a bullet or marble. It's small enough to be concealed inside a secret compartment in a person's clothing. Despite its small size, however, the Muggy Ball retains the full destructive powers of the full sized Buggy Ball (in essence, similar to a hand grenade).
This was first used against the Minotaurus, where Buggy kicked the Muggy Ball from the tip of his shoe, and the resulting explosion injured the Jailer Beast severely, but it was still conscious and standing. In the anime, the ball leaves his shoe after a small hole opened up on the bottom of the sole.[3] Buggy also attempted to use a Muggy Ball against Dracule Mihawk, but he managed to deflect it back towards Buggy using his sword.[4]
