Rob Lucci runs the Shichibukai guantlet

Rob Lucci fights the following opponents and gets healed between each battle:

Once, all out battle. Then, physical combat only (in this second round switch Mihawk and Kuma).

1) Gecko Moria.
2) Boa Hancock.
3) Crocodile.
4) Jimbei.
5) Don Quixote Flamingo.
6) Juracle Mihawk
7) Bartholomew Kuma.
8) Blackbeard.

Can he clear it?

Scenario 1 stops at Crocodile.

2, I'd say he's done at Jimbei, Mihawk the latest.

stop at Crocodile for both scenario..

He has to duke it out in his human form.

oh..my mistake..the second one he'll probably stop at Jimbei..

He doesn't get past Moria

Let's not forget that Luffy was a bad match-up to Lucci, his rubber body makes him a glutton for physical punishment and keeps shigan from piercing his skin.

Really? 😐

Actually, you might be right, all Moria has to do is steal his shadow or something, right?

Moria can't just steal someone shadow..he got Luffy shadow only because Luffy was unconscious..

Bump.

Lesse, one might want to mix it around a bit. Pre-quake fruit Blackbeard (aka when he was a Shichibukai), and Lucci'd be pretty good against him, even if his leopard form is nullified he's got all of his trained powers, and damaged against Teach is enhanced. Physical only, even better.

Physical combat only, no paw-paw fruit, and he strikes me as having the advantage against Kuma too.

Boa'd probably beat him in either too, she packs more physical punch than he did (remember how she was taking apart Pacifista left and right? Though that may partially be stone power). Physical combat, Hancock's in the top three Shichibukai thanks to her Haki.

Croc, he's useless against.

Moria really needs an army or a bunch of shadows to power up with in order to fight him. Shadow Asgard may allow Gecko a win, but otherwise Lucci has my bet one on one.

He stops dead hard at Moria assuming this is at his peak in the first fight.

Second fight he probably gets to Hancock, but is then taken down. She was taking out Pacifista easily with her physical attacks.

Ultimately, Lucci is more supernova level (maybe plus a little) than Shichibukai level.

Agreed.

Physically he can compete with some of them, but overall? Nah.

just had a scary thought...what if lucci learned haki O_o

He'd be.... really badass. It'd depend in part on how good he was with it, but move reading and/or the ability to inflict more damage with his blows? That'd be a way to earn a slot in the 7.

Crocodile above hancock?

Moria used to be a real badass, fighting on equal terms with Kaidou.
