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.

However, the first and third game follow his canon appearance in One Piece 's storyline more closely. Lucci is at first, a distant-yet-mute wood worker at Water 7's Galley-La Company's Dock One, normally having his pigeon Hattori do the talking for him through ventriloquism. This farce is eventually dropped in that Lucci himself can speak, all while revealing him and some of his other co-workers to be part of CP9 as part of an undercover mission to retrieve the blueprints to Pluton from Iceburg. However, due to the complications of Nico Robin's past involving the Straw Hat Pirates to come and try to rescue her, the Straw Hats and CP9 engage in fierce battles against each other at Enies Lobby under the orders of Spandam. Lucci in particular is locked in a fierce battle with Luffy, to the point where both are pushed to their very limits with Luffy being the victor and Spandam ordering a Buster Call on Enies Lobby (leading it to its destruction while the Straw Hat Pirates escape).

In later portions of the time-skip not mentioned in the Warriors games, despite Lucci and his group being decommissioned from CP9, later parts of the story reveal him to have recovered and be a part of CP0 instead; a supposed non-canon fact shown in the movie One Piece Film: Gold.

In one of the DLC stages of the third game, Lucci and Magellan work to round riotting convicts being led by Crocodile.

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, often stating it to be "in the name of dark justice".

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, as well as enjoying a good fight and admiring Luffy's capabilities as a captain.

Due to his upbringing, he is obedient to his superiors even if he scowls at what he perceives as pettiness and stupidity (especially towards Spandam, which is ironic considering their positions where flipped around when Lucci joined CP0). Lucci at times can also be quite collected regarding specific decisions at hand.

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 Rokushiki (六式, lit. Six Styles; localized as the Six Powers) taught to all other CP9 members to the point where he is capable of performing its ultimate techniques. The six different abilities granted to him by the Six Powers are:

Moon Walk: Allows the user to utilize their enormous leg strength to kick off of the air itself, allowing them to double-jump infinitely, effectively achieving flight.

Iron Body: Allows the user to harden their body to make it as tough as steel, bolstering defenses. In-game it also releases shockwaves if powerful enough.

Finger Pistol: Allows the user to perform finger jabs so powerful that it feels like a bullet.

Tempest Kick: Allows the user to send out razor winds with their legs.

Shave: Allows the user to move at speeds invisible to the untrained eye.

Paper Art: Allows the user to dodge attacks by going limp, floating around attacks like a piece of paper.

Six King Gun: This is the ultimate seventh, hidden technique of the Six Powers that can only be achieved after gaining complete mastery of all the other six, which Lucci has achieved. Lucci places both fists in front of him, positioned right in front of his target. He then releases a large shockwave.

His combat abilities are further enhanced with his Zoan-type Devil Fruit, which allows 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 and hero mode portraits will always be his human form.
