If we being honest, Rob Lucci's perfomance in Egghead is beyond everyone's expectations. You might already expect high from him, but you are still surprised how Oda actually treats him in this arc.
- Who would have thought that in Egghead, Rob Lucci fought Gear 5 Nika - aka the man who defeated Kaido. And not getting low diffed? Fanboys would have proudly believed "Nika neg diffs Rob Lucci one shot Bellamy style!!"
Turned out Lucci performed just fine. He wasn't impressed and even after witnessing G5 directly, the conclusion he gets is:
- Who would have thought, that Sentomaru, the man proclaimed having tightest defense, was actually get one shotted by Lucci? While Sentomaru himself admitted he wasn't distracted and still got one shotted?
Nika was there all along too, and he couldn't do shit to protect him. Earlier Luffy first saw Lucci destroyed Atlas, that pushed his berserk button and Luffy immediately turned into G5. Yet again, Lucci still managed to destroy one more of Luffy's comrade, and Luffy in his peak form couldn't do shit about it.
- Who would have thought, that the clash between Nika the man who defeated Kaido vs Rob Lucci "the mere opponent from pre TS" ended with Luffy leaving dying Sentomaru on floor behind, and let Lucci gained control of the Seraphims?
This is Luffy's condition 3 minutes after the clash:
This is Lucci's condition 3 minutes after the clash:
Anyone non biased can tell who won the overall war: the running trash who turned into old man, or the recovering guy who ended up gaining control of the Seraphims?
- When Lucci said this
People really memeing on him. Calling Lucci delusional, "he thought he was him" etc for thinking he is on same level with Kizaru.
Except, who would have thought that it's actually the truth? Lucci is on similar / comparable level to Admiral Kizaru.
"But but Lucci's AP is weak!", answer this: who one shotted healthy Sentomaru? Who couldn't one shot bandaged Sentomaru?
- People were memeing Lucci once again "B-but but he got three shotted by Gear 5"
If you call Lucci got three shotted, then Admiral Kizaru actually got one shotted. Again, who would have thought?
Between 2 pictures above, if you are not biased, you can tell, Lucci was in better condition post 3 attacks from Gear 5 than Kizaru after just 1 attack.
- And then we have Lucci's abnormal growth during the timeskip.
He actually managed to do what even prodigy like Luffy couldn't achieve during timeskip: awakening his DF.
He learned what even the most veteran Yonkos like Kaido and Big Mom couldn't achieve in their entire career.
And he awakened his DF without any known mentor. No Master Rayleigh, no Master Mihawk, no Master Ivankov, no Master Garp etc. No trash plot neither like the trash Nika.
- Actually not really a new thing that Oda respects Lucci this much. If we are being careful, Oda already respected this guy way back since Water 7 arc.
Like we know, usually Oda will use Sanji to hype the enemies.
How to make Vergo look strong? Make him dominate Sanji.
How to make Doflamingo look strong? Make him dominate Sanji.
How to make Judge look strong? Make him dominate Sanji. Etc.
And lastly, how to make Gorosei Saturn look strong? Make him dominate Sanji.
But, how to make Lucci look strong?
Make him dominate both Luffy and Zoro together. Not just the usual Sanji. Oda sacrificed both Luffy and Zoro together just to hype this guy.
I meant, Oda actually sacrifice bigger fishes to hype Lucci than to hype fucking Gorosei Saturn himself.
And worse it wasn't about "can't touch logia" scenario like Crocodile, Enel, and Aokiji. Lucci actually dominated both Luffy and Zoro in their own game. Just like Vergo dominated Sanji in his own game, except well it's just Sanji as usual in Vergo scenario.
So yeah, it's safe to say that Lucci is among 1 of the most respected character by Oda.
