Controversial Rob Lucci Disappointment Thread

- Start date
Powerwise he did much better than many have expected him to perform (just check the Lucci Pl thread).
Remember, he's got a bottom barrel basic zoan and mastered Rokushiki and still somewhat pushed Post Wano Luffy and even more so Zoro.
With how stagnant Lucci's character has been, if any character has a decent chance at joining the HK, I think it's him, so with another boost, he could potentially return as someone that has left YC behind him, though I doub't we'll get to see more than a few cling clang panels
Characterwise Oda completely wasted him.
I think based on the cover story of the former CP9, Oda initially had different plans for them, but ultimately wasn't sure what to do with them or where to squeeze them into, so he just brought them back as throwaway opponents without any character development whatsoever...
I get the whole ordeal about Lucci just being a bloodlusted bastard, that only cares about having the permission to kill without suffering from consequences, but him alongside the other former CP9 just re-joining the WG, after they hunted them and used them as scapegoats for the EL incident without any explanation whatsoever, is just lazy writing.

I mean what were you expecting? Imo he did great especially compared to how strong he was pts. If Lucci had met them at the beginning of the time skip he would have had a vastly better fights and would have made it very high to extreme diffs. In egghead he was placed against a a low top tier and a top tier and held his own for a while. He shown he was strong enough to be placed with the strongest yc. Luffy is a yonko and Lucci was another agent in cp. If agents could still fight with luffy the story would make little sense as the wg would be way to strong for anyone to beat if they could produce random agents at yonko level. Lucci filled his role. He shown he was a strong fighter but also the growth of the shs.
