It would be very funny if Lucci decides to try to stealthily take out all the Vegapunks after he learns Luffy is on the island, which in turn leads him into being Caribou'd

As a refresher, Vegapunk is composed of six bodies. They are:
Punk-01 "Shaka" - "good".
Punk-02 "Lilith" - "evil". (with Franky, Nami, Usopp, Robin, Zoro, Sanji and Brook(?))
Punk-03 "Edison" - "thinking/thought".
Punk-04 "Pythagoras" - "wisdom".
Punk-05 "Atlas" - "violence/wrath". (with Luffy, Chopper, and Jinbei)
Punk-06 "York" - "greed".

They are all referred to as his Satellites and use the kanji for cat with the furigana spelling satellite

Speculation: Vegapunk had/has three other bodies which are missing/hiding/dead as a reference to cats having "9 lives"

Oh yeah, that's right: We still have Caribou around to cause schenanigans on this island, too. It'd be fun to get a Caribou vs Lucci moment.

So there's like less than zero chance that all the satellites aren't some kind of hilariously ironic twist on what they're supposed to represent, right? My guess is Shaka is only "good" by whatever bugfuck insane metric the WG classifies as "good".

Six Paths of Daft Punk! Really looks like Oda got inspired by them, I wonder if he likes their music and vibe. Daft Punk had some very sci-fi MTVs for their songs.

I think the satellite classifications are probably how Vegapunk sees them, not the WG.

I like Lucci as a villain and I'm glad to see him back; Lucci was, in my opinion, Luffy's pre-timeskip rival, moreso than anyone else. I'd say that he was the pre-timeskip Katakuri in many ways, though slightly more of an archnemesis than a rival. (Luffy continued fighting Katakuri partially because he wanted to, because he felt like he could reach a higher level while fighting him, whereas with Lucci it was more of a necessity, because Luffy realized he was the only one who could handle Lucci.)

Lucci vs Luffy is a straight up slugfest, Final Destination, No Weapons. It's just two guys beating the poo poo out of each other with their special powers. There's no element form, no weapons, it's just fisticuffs (sometimes with claws and fangs).

Lucci has to be stopped, not because he's the Final Boss with the Evil Plan (honestly the schemer is more Spandam), but because Luffy knows that if he doesn't face off against Lucci, Lucci will just go and try to murder the rest of his crew. I'm pretty sure there's a scene where Luffy says that outright, and Lucci actually grudgingly admits respect for Luffy for being willing to put himself on the line for his crew, comparing him (favorably) to Spandam, who just keeps running away and tossing CP9/fodder Marines in the crew's path. There's also the small conversation between the Straw Hats while they keep the attacking Marines at bay where they talk about Luffy instinctively knowing who he needs to fight, and they admit that if it weren't for Luffy, Lucci woulda merc'd them.

Lucci really knows how to get under Luffy's skin. Like, he deliberately causes flooding in Enies Lobby during his fight with Luffy just to further piss Luffy off by putting Luffy's crew in danger. Like yeah, his mission was to stop the Straw Hats from reaching Spandam/Robin, but this just comes off as an incredibly spiteful move intended specifically to rile Luffy up because he knows Luffy values his crew.

Honestly the worst thing about CP0 is that CP9 switched out their loving stylish black suits in favor of less badass white suits. CP9 was so fuckin' cool.
