In One Piece episode 1086, Mihawk and Crocodile, the founders of Cross Guild, confront Buggy on Emptee Bluffs Island in the New World, as they are displeased with Buggy's newfound leadership. A flashback shows Mihawk losing his Warlord of the Sea status, prompting him to relocate, and Crocodile offering him the opportunity to join forces in creating the organization. Additionally, Crocodile visits Emptee Bluffs Island to collect a substantial debt from Buggy.
Buggy, unable to pay, offered to help Crocodile with his new plan. However, the flyers circulated by Buggy's subordinates depicted Mihawk and Crocodile as his subordinates.

After spotting the Cross Guild poster, the Navy mistakenly attributes Buggy as the mastermind behind Impel Down, citing his former association with Roger's crew and his status as Shanks' equal. They believe that Buggy's popularity drew support from Crocodile and Mihawk. In One Piece episode 1086, their updated bounties are disclosed: Crocodile's bounty is 1,965,000,000 berries, Mihawk's is 3,590,000,000 berries, and Buggy, deemed as perilous as Luffy, possesses a bounty of 3,189,000,000 berries.
Back on Emptee Bluffs Island, Mihawk proposes that having Buggy as their figurehead could be beneficial as it would divert the Navy's attention.

In the latest episode, Yamato made it known that he chose not to become a member of the Straw Hats, opting instead to explore Wano. This decision left Kinemon and Momonosuke feeling neglected by the Straw Hat crew. They arrived at Tokage Port just in time to bid farewell to Luffy and his companions.
Momonosuke was overcome with emotions as he faced his fears about the future. In a show of support, the Straw Hats presented him with a large flag displaying their Jolly Roger. Luffy extended an invitation for Momonosuke, Yamato, and Kinemon to join them at sea whenever they were prepared.
Afterwards, the Straw Hats embarked for Hakumai. Their departure was followed by the arrival of Law and Kid's ships, sparking a rivalry among the three pirate captains. This prompted the Straw Hats to alter their course and navigate down the waterfall.
