A short and simple revision for Buggy at the beginning of the series.
His current durability justification is:
The first issue is that the City Block level+ calc for the Buggy Bomb is for the bomb's kinetic energy and not its explosion. Its explosion is calculated to be Large Building level. Buggy was never shown to be hit by the bomb directly; only being caught up in the radius of its explosion.
The second issue is that the second time this feat occurred, Buggy blocked the explosion with human shields, so it wouldn't be valid to use as a durability feat for him.
The third issue is that Buggy recieves some durability scaling from Luffy there, but Luffy recieves his AP scaling from harming Buggy (among other reasons). If we're saying Luffy is this strong for harming Buggy, we can't justify Buggy for being this tough from being hit by Luffy.
So Buggy's new justification should be:
As Luffy's next City Block level+ feat is in the Reverse Mountain arc, I think we should consider him and Zoro to be no more than Large Building level in the Orange Town arc, scaling off of Buggy - so Buggy's AP / Striking Strength would also go down to Large Building level.
There is no good reason to backscale his feats in the Reverse Mountain arc back to the Orange Town arc. Luffy has gone through numerous islands & fights between the two fights.
That's all.
His current durability justification is:
Durability: At least City Block level+ (Is fine after being hit by the Buggy Bomb Explosion twice. Took multiple blows from Monkey D. Luffy)
The first issue is that the City Block level+ calc for the Buggy Bomb is for the bomb's kinetic energy and not its explosion. Its explosion is calculated to be Large Building level. Buggy was never shown to be hit by the bomb directly; only being caught up in the radius of its explosion.

So Buggy's new justification should be:
Durability: Large Building level (Survived being caught in the explosion of his own Buggy Bomb which is this powerful)
As Luffy's next City Block level+ feat is in the Reverse Mountain arc, I think we should consider him and Zoro to be no more than Large Building level in the Orange Town arc, scaling off of Buggy - so Buggy's AP / Striking Strength would also go down to Large Building level.
There is no good reason to backscale his feats in the Reverse Mountain arc back to the Orange Town arc. Luffy has gone through numerous islands & fights between the two fights.
