History
While CP9 was being hunted by the World Government, Lucci noticed the Uchiha clan purchasing supplies and judged them to be unusually alert. Tamaharu subsequently targeted CP9 as a test of his group's combat strength 20 22.
After Tamaharu captured Kalifa, Lucci fought Shisui for her release. Shisui evaded his attacks, used a clone and transformation as a feint, and locked Seastone handcuffs on him. To secure Lucci and Kalifa's release, CP9 agreed to capture Monkey D. Luffy for Tamaharu 22 23.
At Thriller Bark, Kumadori freed Lucci from his handcuffs. Lucci attacked the Straw Hats and defeated Sanji, but defied Tamaharu's order to stop before striking Nico Robin. Tamaharu subjected him to Purgatory, leaving him terrified. CP9 pleaded for him afterward, and Lucci chose for the group to submit rather than die. Tamaharu placed a seal on Lucci's heart that he could use to kill him if he disobeyed 28 29 30 32.
Lucci later joined Tamaharu's force at the Summit War, where he was severely injured. Afterward, he helped train the faction's fighters and accompanied its move into Dressrosa. At the World Martial Arts Tournament, he held an arena through repeated challenges and chose Crocodile as his next opponent 47 72 77 121 166.
Personality
- Proud of his strength, Lucci was furious when Tamaharu treated him as a sparring partner. His defeat by Shisui initially left him ashamed 22 23.
- He initially submitted to protect his CP9 companions despite his reluctance. Over time, he came to respect Tamaharu's strength and saw a chance to grow under him 30 47 81.
- Lucci still looks for fights that test him, but chooses his opponents pragmatically: at the tournament, he selected Crocodile rather than a Four Emperor he believed he could not beat 165 166.
Abilities & Skills
Zoan transformation
- Lucci can enter a half-human, half-beast hybrid form, which he used immediately against Shisui as his strongest mode. He can also fight in a full beast form 22 23 60.
- Seastone handcuffs drain his strength and prevent him from making effective use of his Devil Fruit abilities 23 24.
Rokushiki and close combat
- Soru lets Lucci close distance rapidly; Tekkai hardens his body or strikes against attacks 22 23 29.
- Rankyaku produces ranged cutting attacks. His ultimate technique, Six King Gun, caused little damage to Vasco Shot through Armament Haki Hardening 29 60.
Haki and chakra skills
- Lucci masters Busoshoku Haki after the Summit War 78.
- He later learns basic ninjutsu alongside CP9 and acquires water-walking and climbing skills 119 121.
Relationships
- Uchiha Tamaharu — defeated and coerced Lucci into service, then made him a combatant and instructor. Lucci gradually came to accept his leadership 29 30 77 81.
- Uchiha Shisui — defeated Lucci in their first fight and twice more when Lucci secretly tested him; Lucci eventually acknowledged Shisui's superior strength 23 47.
- Kaku and CP9 — Lucci's companions pleaded for his life after the Thriller Bark mission. Their loyalty influenced his decision to submit to Tamaharu 30.
- Nico Robin — Lucci blamed her for the defeat and humiliation he suffered during CP9's earlier attempt to capture her 29.
