Current Events The strawhats freed Lucci and Kaku to help fight the seraphims, and then it was offscreened and seraphims were beaten by Vegapunk tech instead

I made a post saying the offscreening of the seraphim fight is bad writing in the paving and tone of the story. And it makes the strawhats incredibly incompetent. And it makes the seraphims unnaturally busted that they require 24 hours to defeat without even being damaged.

Now more and more problems of this offscreening are arising such as this Lucci and Kaku plot line that now serves nothing but a convenient way to have Lucci able to fight Zoro.

The narrative reason originally presented for Lucci and Kaku being freed was that the seraphims were THAT MUCH of a threat that they required the Yonko to team with his enemy to win. And then nothing happened and Lucci and Kaku offscreen did nothing to help beat the seraphims and instead Vegapunk tech saved the day.

this has happened before, again regarding lunarians. It was Zoro vs King. Zoro keeps fighting against Enma and Oda dedicates a full chapter to Zoro mastering it and unlocking CoC and AdvCoC for the purpose of finally winning the fight… and then nothing… Zoro OFFSCREEN learns that King’s weakness is him making himself beatable and that’s what wins the fight… At no point does Zoro knowing AdvCoC win him the fight, we aren’t shown that AdvCoC could even damage king… The thing that won the fight for Zoro was King making himself able to lose on purpose and Zoro just discovered that King was making himself weak OFFSCREEN… Oda even has Zoro say in egghead that he can’t damage king

So twice this has happened… Oda tells us what we need to beat these insurmountable Lunarians (Zoro needs a full chapter to unlock AdvCoC, the strawhats need Lucci and Kaku)… Nothing happens (Zoro never damaged King because of AdvCoC without King choosing to make himself weak, Lucci and Kaku do not manage to do anything to the seraphims)… Offscreen we learn how to actually beat the lunarians and the solution to the problem presents itself (Zoro learns King makes himself beatable offscreen, the seraphims are actually beaten by Vegapunk tech offscreen)

how can Oda keep doing this bad writing twice in a row… if I had a nickel for every time the narrative solution to beating lunarians was useless and instead offscreen the actual solution presented itself hence making the narrative solution a waste of time and bad writing, I’d have two nickels…

Oda inserting a small time skip here has an important reason: If we knew everything that happened during that time skip, we would now know, that Lucci currently works on the side of the SHP and Vegapunk and that Stussy works on the side of the WG. You have to switch your own perspective on the current situation, because Oda wants us to believe otherwise.

This time skip is just to make us surprise that Lucci and Stussy's allegiances are in truth reversed and few people actually notice this. :ihaha:

First you have to look at chapter 1062. We see Lucci here openly - and you have to really take that in - openly(!) question their mission! (This is huge, since up until now he was always considered the loyal dog of the WG.). He is not fully ok, with killing Vegapunk for a reason we still don't know (-he told us that Vegapunk is the only usefull human. But why he thinks so, ist still not touched on by Oda.

Than we have chapter 1069. Look at Stussy here: We know that she claims to be on Vegapunk's side, but she is actually quite fastly letting Akainu be called, to inform him that the SHPs are on Egghead. Akainu then could adjust his plan and reinforce the might that was travelling to Egghead. So, because Stussy called him, she is directly responsible for the now 9 VA and the 30,000 marines currently surrounding the island. You do not do that, if you know that your `father´ wants to flee.

It gets better: Now at chapter 1069, Lucci is not really following orders as he is engaging with Luffy without permission. Then we got to know through Stussy, that Akainu wanted especially for Lucci to not to engage the SHP. They were to wait for the navy.
Again, Lucci ignored the order and proceded with going up into the Labo-Phase to do just that - to engage the SHPs. And to make things worse for the WG, he even ordered the Seraphim to destroy the Labo-stratum, altough their mission stated clearly that they were ordered to not to destroy "...any of the lab's precious assets,[...]" - Like Kaku worded it in chapter 1062.

Stussy made Lucci stop going against the explicit orders of the WG and their mission, when she bit him and Kaku to make them sleep. For us and for the SHPs/Vegapunk it looked like she was helping the protagonists, while doing so, even if her reason for it was a different one.

What is more is: Stussy did no tell Vegapunk and the SHP that York was the traitor amongst them. We do not know if Stussy knew by then, but if she knew, she did not convey said info, when everyone was gathered together in the control room.

Then we had that little time-skip in which the many things happened that still have to be revealed, yet.

One important one for example is: Shaka's identity.
Alone the fact that he is wearing a helmet makes me wonder what is underneath and why he needs to hide it. His face has most probably features, we can easily recognize, so Oda did everything he could to not revealed it, yet. But we still are able to guess who he is, if we analyse him further: We see that he shares the exact same behavior, body posture (shoving their hands into their pockets), eloquent speech patter, believes/opinions (he is ready to make sacrafices for his greater goal), strategical skills with one person on the island: Lucci. Cut out Lucci's head and put it on Shaka and you will see that both are identical in their overall behavior to a point, where we see no difference other than their names.

See for example only their posture:

Just put Lucci's head on Shaka's body and you have the same person.

And here it gets crazy, because Oda had did not think we would figure it out: The name "Shaka" refers to the japanese religion and the Buddah Shaka Nyorai, who is the personification of `Good´. This is why Shaka is also referred to as the good side of Vegapunk. With Lucci's name you actually can do the same. His name is a short form for "Lucifer", who is the personification of `Evil´. Both characters are mirroring each other to the last letter and this alone can never be a coinicdence. They are related to each other - they are twins.

Oda has only not revealed this important part of the arc, because he inserted that damn time-skip. I have been waiting for months now to see Shaka's face.

By the way, Shaka is not dead: Because, while he was lying there motionless in the basement, with York announcing that he was dead (without feeling for his pulse or if he was still breathing), we saw of all people, Chopper, the only doctor, heading towards the basement. Don't you think that this is somehow odd? Why would Oda make of all people Chopper's group head down there? Alone this makes me believe that Shaka is not dead, but actually alife, but heavily wounded. I bet he was treated by Chopper the moment the reindeer got to him.

Lucci has also probably seen his brother by now and changed sides for good.

Then we are back to the present day and the WG, who has now made everyone understand that they have now new priorities. What has to be protected under any circumstances are:

- Punk Records (Vegapunk's brain)
- York
- Mother Flame

Now look at the situation: Lucci is standing there next to Atlas and starts attacking the Stellar. But before he can harm him, Stussy is there to protect him. I would call that selfless, if we did not call forth that the WG wants Punk Records to not come to harm. And what is Punk Records? The Stellar's brain - if Stellar dies, the brain dies with him! This is why Stussy throws herself between Lucci and Vegapunk - to protect Punk Records.
This act makes me question two things:

1. Why did Lucci not attack Atlas first, who stood right next to him.
2. And why did he of all people attack the Stellar if he had the order to protect Punk Records under any circumstances? (You cannot tell me that Lucci did not know of those new priorities - he communicated with the marines quite excesseively, conveying all necessary information they/Kizaru wanted.)

I tell you what: He did it because he wanted to hurt/kill Stussy, because he knew she needed to safe the Stellar, because this was her new order. He wanted her out of the way, because he needed for the Vegapunk Shaka to flee with everybody and be safe.
Now, he lets himself fall back with Zolo's attack and will be seperated with him for the next chapter.


Oh, and do you want to know what happened to Lucci and Kaku, after they had been bitten by a vampire-Stussy? Yes, Stussy is a vampire! Because look closely at Lucci and Kaku now - and at their small, pointy canines they are now sporting. Barely recognizable, but Oda can't fool me:





Both are now vampires.


By the way, the best part of it you do not know:

Some people here and there on the internet have made a numerical/mathematical approach of predicting the last Straw hat member, seeing as Oda likes to work with those things in his manga as well (Source: https://www.crunchyroll.com/de/anim...-used-math-to-guess-the-next-straw-hat-pirate ). Up until now every Devil fruit-user on the Sunny has eaten a fruit that corresponded/sounds with/like two Japanese numbers from 1-10 (You are not able to do that with most other DF-names of other users – I have tried it. And the possibility of all DF-user of the Straw hats being able to do that with their DF-name is just too low to be a coincidence.):


Luffi: Gomu – 5 and 6

Robin: Hana – 8 and 7

Chopper: Hito – 1 and 10

Brook: Yomu – 4 and 3


That leaves 2 and 9.

With his Neko neko no mi Lucci comes very close to ni = 2 and Ko = 9. The difference is the `e´ in the `ne´ in “neko” in contrast to `ni´ in the number 2. However, what many people do not know is that the `ni´ sound of the number 2 is pronounced `ne´ in Japanese. That means the actual pronunciation of 2 and 9 together is `ne-ko´. So, there we go with the numerical approach – fits like a glove… .

I'm just waiting casually here, until the next few chapters drop. This is going to be good! :ihaha:
