Background / History

Lucci was raised and trained among the CP9 candidates on Crown Hao Island. By the recruitment period, he was already regarded as the obvious standout of his generation and was hailed as Cipher Pol’s strongest genius in eight hundred years. Kalifa, Laskey, and the other trainees considered his admission into CP9 inevitable. 1

During the selection, Lucci’s 800 Doriki established him as one of the two strongest candidates, but Beiyuan Heng surpassed him with 850. Rather than dismissing Beiyuan, Lucci recognized him as a genuine rival and accepted his public challenge for first place in CP9. 2 3 5

Their duel shattered Lucci’s previously unquestioned reputation. He pushed his Six Powers to their limits and copied Iron Body: Utsugi in battle, but Beiyuan outpaced him in strength, speed, analysis, and technique. Beiyuan immobilized him with Rankyaku: Entangling Shadow and ended the fight with Rokuogan. 6

After regaining consciousness, Lucci admitted defeat and vowed to reclaim his position. Laskey ranked him second in the new CP9 team and placed him under Beiyuan’s command. 7

Over the following two and a half years, Lucci continued training and repeatedly sparred with Beiyuan. He mastered the Six Powers, but the gap between them widened rather than closed. 8 13

Appearance

Lucci initially appears as a stern boy in a black suit and black hat, usually accompanied by a pigeon perched on his shoulder. After two years of training, he grows into a tall, lean, hard-built young man while retaining his reserved black-suited appearance. 1 13

• Black suit and black hat. 1
• Frequently accompanied by his pigeon, Hattori. 1 5
• Tall, lean, and hardened physique after years of CP9 training. 13

Personality

Lucci is intensely confident, competitive, and drawn to powerful opponents. He initially believes Beiyuan cannot defeat him, but his interest in the challenge is genuine; seeking strong opponents is one of his reasons for joining CP9. 2 5

He follows a ruthless ideology of “Dark Justice.” Lucci considers weakness, surrender, and failure to protect one’s kingdom crimes worthy of death. During the Karandi Kingdom mission, he argues that the 500 captured soldiers should die for surrendering and later prepares to kill them himself. 9 10

Despite this brutality, he recognizes established strength and authority. Following his defeat, he accepts Beiyuan’s command, admits his loss directly, and channels his resentment into a determination to surpass him. 7 9 13

Abilities & Skills

Six Powers

Lucci is a Six Powers prodigy who eventually masters the full system. His fighting style combines high-speed close combat, powerful kicking techniques, defensive body control, and rapid tactical adaptation. 1 6 13

• Uses Soru for explosive bursts of speed. 5 6
• Uses Paper Arts to evade attacks by making his body flexible enough to follow air currents. 5
• Uses Iron Body to endure direct physical damage. 5 6
• Uses Rankyaku for long-range cutting waves. 6 10
• Fully mastered the Six Powers by the time of his final sparring session with Beiyuan. 13

Advanced Techniques

• Shigan: Coptis — A high-speed finger-gun technique used when basic Six Powers proved insufficient against Beiyuan. 6
• Shigan: Draw — Fires a small air bullet from his fingertip to deflect an incoming Rankyaku: Cross Slash. 6
• Rankyaku: Tail Whip — A spiraling cutting wave powerful enough to carve a deep fissure through the tower roof. 6
• Iron Body: Utsugi — An advanced defensive technique copied from Beiyuan through observation; Lucci’s early version was incomplete and caused him injury from recoil. 6

Combat Adaptation

Lucci can analyze and reproduce complex techniques after brief observation. His replication of Iron Body: Utsugi astonished the CP9 examiners, though he lacked Beiyuan’s refinement and suffered for using it imperfectly. 6

• Quickly identifies when his basic techniques are inadequate. 6
• Learns from opponents during active combat. 6
• Remains dangerous even while exhausted, but his stamina and blurred vision left him vulnerable in the final stage of the duel with Beiyuan. 6

Relationships

• Beiyuan Heng — Rival, superior, and later commanding officer. Beiyuan defeated Lucci for CP9’s first rank; Lucci accepted the result but vowed to surpass him. Their ideological conflict over justice surfaced during the Karandi Kingdom mission. 6 7 9 10
• Laskey — CP9 recruiter, examiner, and instructor. Laskey mediated Lucci’s early confrontation with Beiyuan and formally assigned Lucci as second-in-command. 2 7 8
• Kalifa — Fellow trainee and CP9 teammate. Kalifa strongly believed in Lucci’s superiority before witnessing Beiyuan defeat him. 1 5 7
• Hattori — Lucci’s pigeon companion, often seen on his shoulder; Hattori openly expressed confidence that Lucci would win against Beiyuan. 1 5
• Spandine — CP9 chief who assigned Lucci and Beiyuan to resolve the Karandi Kingdom hostage crisis. 9

Story Role / Major Arcs

CP9 Recruitment

Lucci enters Crown Hao Island’s selection process as the recognized strongest candidate. His status is challenged when Beiyuan arrives, publicly surpasses his Doriki score, and demands a direct battle for first rank. 1 3 5

Duel for CP9 First Rank

Lucci accepts Beiyuan’s challenge and reveals the depth of his advanced Six Powers. Although his ability to imitate Iron Body: Utsugi confirms his exceptional genius, he is ultimately defeated by Rankyaku: Entangling Shadow and Rokuogan. 5 6

Formation of the New CP9 Team

Following the duel, Lucci is ranked second in CP9 and becomes Beiyuan’s subordinate. He continues sparring with Beiyuan during the voyage to Enies Lobby, using the rivalry as motivation to improve. 7 8

Karandi Kingdom Mission

Lucci accompanies Beiyuan on a mission to rescue 500 captured soldiers from the Iron Hook Pirates. His belief that the surrendered soldiers deserve death directly conflicts with Beiyuan’s insistence on protecting them. Beiyuan repeatedly restrains Lucci from acting on his ideology. 9 10

Two-and-a-Half-Year Training Period

Lucci trains continuously within CP9 and reaches full Six Powers mastery. Nevertheless, Beiyuan defeats him again during a final sparring session before Beiyuan’s secondment to Marine Headquarters. 13
