It makes perfect sense why Rob Lucci scaled to where he is in the series. When he and Luffy fought, Luffy was on the back foot and just barely squeezed out a win. After Enies Lobby, what did Luffy actually do to get stronger? Thriller Bark, it took the whole crew to beat Moria. Sabaody was where he took the first of many Ls, but he did start to become aware of his Haki. It was only the timeskip training that Luffy got to grow stronger in a meaningful way. And right after the timeskip, Luffy coasted on his new strength until he finally hit a wall at Wano, and there, he awakened his Devil Fruit and learned how to infuse Conqueror's Haki into his attacks.Lucci had plenty of time to train, and we do see that he has awakened his Devil Fruit. In fact, the fight between Lucci and Luffy played out more or less how Luffy's first fight with Kaido did. Lucci is at least as strong as Luffy was mid Wano arc.
Actually he's as strong or as weak as the writer wants him to be. He can win or lose at any time based on what the writer wants.
>>281863773Duh, what's the point of this thread?
>>281863773>>281863955
>>281863972I just watched the new EP and was thinking about it is all.
>>281864017Do you think Lucci could beat Katakuri in a fight. Asking because I've been thinking about current Yonki commanders and whose the strongest before Zoro/Sanji over take them.
>>281864238Yes I'm quite sure he could be written to do that. Someone could quite easily write that the opposite happens as well.
>>281863955>>281864331Hilarious! Take these (you)s anon. >>281864238I think Katakuri wins. I subscribe to the idea that Katakuri let himself lose to some degree to Luffy due to some of what he saw in the future. Katakuri is a bit of a hard counter to fist fighters like Luffy and Lucci.
>>281864238Since the timeskip has someone with CoC lost to someone without CoC?
