Lucci

Power Progression

Background / History

Lucci trained at the secret World Government base on Guanhao Island, where he was already recognized as a dangerous Six Powers prodigy. When Adams approached him with an offer to satisfy his desire to kill, Lucci refused to follow an unknown stranger and challenged the idea that the strong could command him without proving their superiority. 20

Adams defeated and imprisoned him after catching his Rankyaku barehanded and restraining him with rock. Lucci demanded a rematch without Devil Fruit powers; even then, his Shigan barrage barely marked Adams, while his strongest Hyoubi only inflicted a shallow cut. 21

After Adams destroyed Guanhao’s instructors and took the island into the sky, Lucci chose to cooperate rather than launch a hopeless attack. He did not offer unconditional loyalty: he warned Adams that he would kill him if Adams ever became weaker. 24

When the Adams Pirates formally formed, Lucci was placed in charge of building an intelligence network and investigating the Five Great Families’ legitimate and criminal holdings in West Blue. He later located Lafitte, compiled the families’ networks, and reported the Colombo Family’s search for Nico Robin. 29 34 39

Over the following years, Lucci repeatedly trained and fought alongside the Adams Pirates. His clashes with Bullet exposed a bottleneck in his reliance on pure Six Powers techniques and Iron Body, motivating him to seek a path beyond his established limits. 134

Adams ultimately judged Lucci’s long service and conduct sufficient proof of loyalty, rewarding him with an artificial Mythical Zoan modeled after the Azure Dragon Fruit. Lucci accepted the fruit despite his habitual distrust, using its power to complete independent island-conquest and transport operations. 135 136 143 144

Although he initially rationalized remaining with Adams as repayment for the Devil Fruit, Lucci gradually accepted a genuine place within the crew. After years of refusing the title, he addressed Adams as “Captain” when accepting a later mission. 150 224

Appearance

Lucci is a lean, powerfully built young fighter whose posture and expression are consistently controlled and intimidating. He commonly appears in a black suit and hat, while his pigeon Hattori often stays close to him. 24 44 50

• Lean but heavily trained physique. 20 42
• Frequently wears a black suit and hat. 24 44 205
• Can enlarge himself to nearly two and a half meters through Life Return. 42
• Accompanied by his pigeon, Hattori. 21 50 134
• His Azure Dragon human-beast form reaches roughly three meters in height and gives him pink scales, horns, claws, fangs, and a dragon tail. 143
• His full beast form is a roughly three-hundred-meter-long pink dragon surrounded by flame clouds. 144

Personality

Lucci is disciplined, coldly analytical, and fiercely prideful. He believes weakness denies a person the right to impose terms, but he insists that superiority must be demonstrated rather than merely claimed. This conviction leads him to challenge Adams even after witnessing overwhelming power. 20 21

His refusal to accept defeat drives much of his growth. Humiliation at Adams’s hands does not make him submissive; instead, it pushes him to develop stronger Six Powers techniques, including Life Return and Rokuogan. Even after repeated losses, he continues to seek a chance to surpass Adams. 41 42

Although initially emotionally distant and distrustful, Lucci gradually begins to accept the Adams Pirates as more than a temporary arrangement. When Lafitte and Daz Bones protect him while he charges Rokuogan, he is surprised by their trust and quietly accepts Lafitte’s description of them as “companions.” 48

Lucci’s loyalty increasingly rests on his conviction that Adams possesses strength beyond the World Government’s understanding. When Guernica condemns his defection, Lucci rejects the Government’s worldview and defends his choice to follow Adams. 80

The Azure Dragon Fruit magnifies Lucci’s enjoyment of violence, making him visibly exhilarated by battle and slaughter during his assault on the Poker Pirates. Nevertheless, he remains methodical enough to follow operational instructions, search for Devil Fruit reincarnation, and complete difficult transport missions. 143 144

Even after accepting Adams as his captain, Lucci remains stubbornly proud. He frames his continued service as repayment for the power Adams granted him rather than openly admitting personal attachment or loyalty. 150 224

Abilities & Skills

Six Powers

Lucci is an exceptionally gifted Six Powers practitioner who developed his techniques to an extreme level before receiving the artificial Azure Dragon Fruit. 42 135

• Shigan: Ouren — unleashes a dense barrage of finger strikes capable of piercing rock, though it only leaves faint marks on Adams. 21
• Soru — moves at speeds that allow him to evade flintlock fire and overwhelm ordinary opponents. 27
• Geppo — stays airborne through precise aerial movement. 26
• Iron Body — reinforces his body and forms the basis of his Life Return-enhanced punch. 42
• Moving Iron Body — applies Iron Body while moving, allowing Lucci to smash through formations of enemy soldiers. 102
• Life Return — enlarges and strengthens his body, but does not close the physical gap with Adams. 42
• Rokuogan — his secret Six Powers shockwave technique; against Gambino Francis, he needed one minute of uninterrupted preparation to break alloy armor. 48

Rankyaku

Lucci specializes in Rankyaku, producing vacuum slashes with his kicks.

• Rankyaku: Hyoubi — a condensed, bird-shaped slash capable of cutting Adams’s jaw. 21
• His Hyoubi improves substantially over time in both size and force. 41
• Adams eventually surpasses Lucci in the technique itself, defeating Hyoubi with a much larger vacuum slash. 41
• He later uses Hyoubi to split Mechanical Island’s Super Turtle-Like weapon in half. 205

Haki

Lucci possesses both Armament Haki and Observation Haki, which he integrates with his Six Powers and Azure Dragon abilities. 134 143

• Armament Haki — reinforces his body, Shigan, wind blades, and defensive Iron Body techniques. 134 143 149
• Observation Haki — tracks fleeing opponents and scans entire islands for surviving life signs. 143 144

Azure Dragon Fruit

Lucci possesses an artificial Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan: Azure Dragon Form, a Mythical Zoan selected and granted to him by Adams. 135 143

• Human-beast form — increases his size and physical power while giving him dragon scales, horns, claws, fangs, and a tail. 143
• Full dragon form — transforms him into a massive pink dragon approximately three hundred meters long. 144
• Flame Clouds — produces clouds capable of supporting and transporting enormous landmasses, including Clockwork Island and Mechanical Island. 144 205
• Razor — a high-speed, refracted movement attack ending in an Armament Haki-coated Shigan strike. 143
• Bolo Breath — fires a destructive beam of flame capable of vaporizing groups of enemies and demolishing fortifications. 143
• Kaifu — releases numerous Armament Haki-coated wind blades across a wide area. 149
• Dragon King Gun — combines his Mythical Zoan power, Haki, and Six Powers into a condensed long-range shockwave attack. 150

Rokuogan

At its first documented use, Lucci’s most destructive Six Powers technique is the secret art Rokuogan. 48

• Required approximately one uninterrupted minute to charge against Gambino Francis. 48
• Breaks Gambino Francis’s specially forged alloy armor and kills him through a concentrated shockwave. 48
• Leaves Lucci severely exhausted and close to collapse after use against Francis. 48
• Later shatters Big Bear King’s superheated Steel-Steel Fruit body in a single strike. 143

Intelligence and Infiltration

Adams considers Lucci’s Cipher Pol-derived intelligence skills valuable enough to place him in charge of the crew’s intelligence network. 29

• Investigates the Five Great Families’ businesses and criminal networks. 29 34
• Locates Lafitte in Pejella. 34
• Reports the Colombo Family’s discovery of Nico Robin’s location on Lipari Island. 39
• His loyalty was initially observed by Stussy, reflecting Adams’s early caution toward him. 29 39
• Successfully infiltrates and helps seize Mechanical Island after the crew’s intelligence network spends years locating it. 205

Relationships

• Adams — Commander, captor, primary rival, and eventual captain. Adams forcibly recruits Lucci after defeating him, while Lucci initially cooperates on the condition that Adams never becomes weaker. Their repeated spars reinforce Lucci’s ambition to surpass him, but Adams’s later reward of an artificial Mythical Zoan and Lucci’s own conduct lead to mutual trust. Lucci ultimately accepts Adams as “Captain,” while privately characterizing his continued service as repayment. 20 21 24 41 42 135 150 224
• Hattori — His loyal pigeon companion, who desperately follows after Lucci when Adams captures him and later rests on his shoulder. 21 50 134
• Kaku — Fellow former World Government trainee and Adams Pirate. Both were taken from Guanhao, though Kaku adapts to the new crew more easily. They later join Page One in the conquest of Mechanical Island. 21 24 205
• Kalifa — Fellow former trainee and Adams Pirate; she is imprisoned alongside Lucci and Kaku before joining the crew. 21 24
• Stussy — Fellow Adams Pirate initially assigned to assist with—and openly monitor—Lucci’s intelligence work. 29 39
• Lafitte and Daz Bones — Teammates who protect Lucci while he prepares Rokuogan against Gambino Francis. Their cooperation leads Lucci to acknowledge them as companions. 48
• Guernica — Former World Government superior and ideological adversary. Guernica condemns Lucci for betraying the Government, while Lucci rejects his former institution’s limited view of power. 80
• Bullet — A frequent and brutal training partner. Bullet’s superior close-combat strength reveals the limitations of Lucci’s Iron Body, yet their repeated battles also help drive Lucci’s growth. 134 224
• Robin — A fellow Adams Pirate who succeeds Lucci in confronting Diamante after Lucci disarms and overpowers the Donquixote executive’s opening attack. 171

Story Role / Major Arcs

Guanhao Recruitment

Lucci rejects Adams’s initial offer, attacks with Rankyaku, and is defeated. After witnessing Adams destroy the training base’s leadership and seize Guanhao Island, he accepts a conditional place under him rather than risk a futile confrontation. 20 21 23 24

Intelligence Network

Following the creation of the Adams Pirates, Lucci is assigned to construct an intelligence network focused on the West Blue underworld. His work provides Adams with strategic information on the Five Great Families, Lafitte, and Robin’s eventual location. 29 34 39

Rivalry with Adams

Lucci repeatedly tests himself against Adams, only to find that Adams’s reflexes, Rankyaku, and physical strength have surpassed his own mastery. His losses fuel both humiliation and an unwilling admiration that strengthens his resolve to improve. 41 42

Fall of the Five Great Families

Lucci joins Lafitte and Daz Bones in the assault on the Gambino Family. By trusting his teammates to protect him during Rokuogan’s charge time, he defeats Gambino Francis and takes a meaningful step toward accepting the crew’s bond. 48

World Pirates Ambush and Government Defection

Lucci joins Kaku, Lafitte, and Daz Bones in Adams’s ambush against Byrnndi World’s forces, helping eliminate pirates attempting to flee Sicily Island by sea. 70 75

When Guernica confronts him during the operation, Lucci openly renounces his former allegiance to the World Government. The two agents exchange Six Powers attacks in midair as Lucci insists that Adams’s power exceeds the limits of the Government’s perspective. 80

Flower Country War

During the Flower Country conflict, Lucci helps the Adams Pirates’ male officers massacre enemy soldiers and prevent reinforcements from reaching the central battlefield. He uses Moving Iron Body to break through Royal Guard formations and intercepts Rear Admiral Tokikake with Iron Body: Fist Technique. 99 102 107

Azure Dragon Mission and Clockwork Island

After reaching a bottleneck during his training with Bullet, Lucci receives an artificial Azure Dragon Mythical Zoan from Adams. He is immediately assigned to eliminate the Playing Card Pirates, secure Clockwork Island, and use his new power to transport the island. 134 135 136

Lucci destroys the Poker Pirates, kills Big Bear King with Rokuogan, recovers a nearby respawned Devil Fruit, and carries Clockwork Island through the sky in his dragon form. 143 144

Upon returning, he challenges Adams with his new abilities. Adams overwhelms him despite Lucci’s Bolo Breath, Kaifu, and Dragon King Gun, eventually incapacitating him with Thunder Bagua. Lucci privately resolves to remain with Adams as repayment for the power he received. 148 149 150

Donquixote Family Conflict

While Hancock oversees the Devil Fruit rebirth experiment in Hyperspace, Lucci blocks Diamante’s attempted escape. He easily defeats Diamante’s Bull-Horn Glaive with an Armament Haki-coated punch before Robin takes over the battle. 170 171

Mechanical Island Seizure

Lucci, Kaku, and Page One infiltrate Mechanical Island to seize the giant turtle supporting it for Vegapunk’s future research base. Lucci destroys Ratchet’s mechanical turtle weapon with Hyoubi, executes Ratchet, helps purge the island’s inhabitants, and uses flame clouds to fly the entire island back to Adams’s organization. 205

Continued Training and Island Retrieval

On Clockwork Floating Island, Lucci continues hand-to-hand training against Bullet. Adams later assigns him to locate a small island, clear it of creatures, and transport it back; Lucci accepts immediately, addressing Adams as “Captain.” 224
