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".

I feel like at this point we should be more questioning of Vegapunk's definition of "good".

I doubt CP-0 and the Straw hats will actually throw down beyond a couple of small and inconclusive clashes. More likely there'll be a 3rd party threat that forces them to team up/ignore each other for the time being

If you want to play the I-didn't-know-this-was-a-hippo-bar game with me, that's fine.
It wouldn't be very interesting if they did, like Luffy just took down one of the four emperors, so "guy with a pigeon" or "giraffe man" are not really a step up from there. I'm looking forward to more acknowledgement that the strawhats are now serious business.

It'd be nice to see Lucci think that Luffy beating him was some kind of fluke, start a rematch, and nearly immediately nope out of it

I genuinely don't know how Lucci would currently think he stands any chance having indirectly witnessed Luffy defeating Kaido, though

Chopper, Nami, ussop, and Brooke could all use a fight to showcase their skills. Especially Nami with her power up.

I know it's his gimmick by now, but it'd be nice for Usopp to just merc some nerds in an arc for once without getting brutalised in the process. They have to start treating the Straw Hats as an Emperors crew.

Usopp's at his best when getting brutalised and still pulling out a win.

Don't think this will be the arc where he gets a big fight though.

Lucci is a typical shonen violence addict. Luffy becoming vastly more powerful is hardly going to deter him from testing himself against him.

He's a genius martial artist with every possible means and incentive to get stronger. Plenty of reason for him to be on par with Zoro or Sanji at this point.

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

I mean, Lucci and Kaku (and whoever else from 9 got onto 0) probably didn't get their position without getting stronger than they used to be.

Basically, I can't see Luffy clowning on him without specifically activating Clown Mode. Lucci can probably do a decent job of handling everything except Gear 5 at this point, though Snakeman feels like the sort of thing that would push him to his absolute limits as Luffy's specialist 'martial artist killer' form.

Luffy was putting up a decent enough fight against kaido he might have won with gear 4 had cp0 not interfered. Lucci should get clowned on

I doubt Lucci can take Luffy in a straight fight but he’s certainly skilled enough to run away. After all his goal is to assassinate the Vegapunks, not defeat Luffy.

I really hope we see an awakened Giraffe though

I just thought about it and I really can’t wait for the Ox-Ox Fruit: Model Giraffe to secretly have been a mythical Zoan because the Japanese name for giraffe is “kirin”, aka a mythical beast.

I’m kinda hoping that Kaku has doubled down on his Pasta Machine technique, learned how to control where his body extends, and starts to fight like Luffy, but with bones.

He’ll lose, but I am really hoping something like that happens, and Kaku tells us that this is how giraffes survive in the wild.

I feel like the rest of that fight shows that Kaido was just toying with him, Luffy wasn't anywhere close to winning before going cartoon mode. It still took a LOT of physically impossible beating to take Kaido down after that, it's not like he only did it for the final hit.

Gear 5th Luffy fighting Lucci is going to happen because it would be incredibly funny. Someone even MORE serious than Kaido, having to deal with the wacky cartoon man who is nonetheless kicking his rear end? C'mon, that'd be great.

How do you do, fellow Regis?
I reckon as soon as they find out that the Strawhats are on the island that they'll focus on taking out Robin, considering how big of a threat she is to the government. They can't take out Luffy and probably couldn't beat Zoro/Sanji/Jinbei, but they might think that they collectively have a shot at killing Robin.

The other Masked Agents were around that level. Also it depends if Luffy can use Gear 5 at will.
