Rob Lucci

Rob Lucci (ロブ・ルッチ) is a member of CP9, an organization of the World Government created with the authority to kill any who oppose the law. He is the strongest member and figurative leader of the group. Like Kaku, he worked undercover in the company of reputed shipwrights, Galley-La Company. He apprehends Franky to obtain the blueprints for a legendary weapon of mass destruction named Pluton. When the Straw Hats first attempt to save their captured comrades, Lucci is the one who effortlessly beats them back.

He soon transfers himself to Enies Lobby and is eventually confronted by Luffy. Both fighters exhaust themselves in a long and testing fight. After each fighter displays their ultimate techniques, Luffy emerges the victor from their final conflict. Lucci requires months of hospitalization to recover from their bout.

Before his playable appearance, he had been a non-playable character since the first game.

Role in Games
In the second game, Lucci and the rest of CP9 protect the breached Punk Hazard lab that is being searched by the Straw Hat-Whitebeard Coalition. Later, CP9 is brainwashed by the Blackbeard Alliance and fights the Coalition at Rainbase. Although freed from the mind control, Lucci does not help the Coalition directly, but monitors Blackbeard's activities.

Personality
Lucci believes killing is always justified in his profession. He will dispatch any who disobey the law or any who no longer prove useful for upholding it. A steadfast believer in power, he reviles any mention of weakness. Acting ruthless and heartless, he is viewed as the darkest and most intimidating member of the group. He has a morbid fascination with blood and his code of justice. Due to his upbringing, he is obedient to his superiors even if he scowls at what he perceives as pettiness and stupidity.

Fighting Style
Lucci possesses superhuman strength and endurance; he is noted to be vastly superior to the other CP9 members. Lucci is a master of the Six Powers and is capable of performing its ultimate techniques. His combat abilities are further enhanced with his Devil Fruit, which allow him to transform into a leopard, further enhancing his physical traits. Depending on the form he chooses he will either gain a dramatic boost in power or speed. Lucci specializes in speed in his human form and power in his leopard form, and his ability to freely switch between the two aid him in combat, and it is up to players to utilize his 2 forms effectively.

Trivia

 * In the third game, regardless of whether the player sees him in his Zoan or human form, his speech portrait will always be his human form.
