Foxy isn’t a villain, he’s a hero

He's ok. I think he's cool and all but y'know he's a minor villain for a minor arc and he doesn't leave much of an impression beyond being a funny and enjoyable guy I like seeing.

This is a cruel thing to say and he probably doesn't deserve it but its very Gin-esque the way people talk about Foxy.

It is funny that Oda wrote in that sufficiently strong characters can no sell Devil Fruit effects just to finally kill the "Foxy is the strongest character in One Piece" jokes

It’s interesting how often it’s Sanji (not Luffy as you’d expect) who persuades/befriends/redeems people who are initially enemies: Gin, Mr. 2, Duval, Violet, Pudding. Though of course Luffy sometimes does it too, most obviously Nami and Robin.

Tbh I thought he was pretty cool in the movie he was in where he asks for a rematch and they all get betrayed. I didn't like Foxy for a long time, but recently I've turned a corner.

Foxy is Good.

ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST
I wouldn't say Lucci is a top tier villain but he has a really good fight. Those two are not the same thing but they intersect a lot.

Not sure who I'd rank as Best Villain in One Piece but I'd still rank Luffy vs Katakuri as Best Fight overall.

I really liked that movie! Dubiously canonical handling of Haki, but I think it was a really well-rounded Straw Hat adventure in the old style. Better than Film Z, certainly.

Runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
I'll give Lucci credit for this much at least, dude was dumb enough and ballsy enough to come back for a re-match with Luffy something like a decade and 5 power-ups after Water 7 and he's still gunning for it even now. It may not be working out for him but I've still got to admire the dedication. Most everyone else who tried something like that was either talked out of it, turned over a new leaf or realized it was probably a bad idea. I think Bellamy was the only other one who really tried and he was more of a punchline than anything.

I should specify I'm only talking about past villains that Luffy actually beat in earlier arcs, not Boss Preview stuff like the Admirals or Mihawk (that one's more of a Zoro thing anyways).

Lucci is easily the most prototypical Shonen villain/fight One Piece has had up through when he first appears. If that's your jam then yeah he's great, if you're here for the wierd poo poo then he's kind of lame.

Yeah, but in the arc he's balanced out by the rest of CP9 being the usual One Piece-style weirdos.

Foxy is the goofiest pirate in the goofy pirate manga, therefor he is the best.

Cool serious people who would be a dime a dozen in a lamer manga are really fun in One Piece 'cause they're so out of place.

See also: Law.

In short, everyone in One Piece is good.

He's the one who fights Mr.2 but i'm not sure i'd say he's the guy who does the befriending.

I don't think there's a character in One Piece I hate more than Foxy. Same for the Davy Back fight being my least favorite part of the story.

You absolute monster. How dare you deny the beautiful friendship between Bon Clay and the rest of the crew that existed before he even met Sanji.

I feel like Blackbeard’s crew are too unhinged to follow rules. Vasco Shot was talking about raping Boa Hancock the last time we saw him - I just can’t imagine a guy like that strapping a ball to his head. But I COULD see Usopp fighting Yasopp in one of those carnival shooting games

There’s no such thing as cheating when it comes to pirates (the straw hats start using enhanced tactics so well once they see the Foxy pirates do it)

Edit ps I think we’ll definitely see another D.avy Back fight and it’s even odds if it will be against the Red Hair or Blackbeard pirates.

In the Shanks vs. Luffy part of said Davy Back Fight, Luffy will wear his afro again, and proceed to overwhelm Shanks...

...until it's pointed out he can't wear his straw hat with an afro, and thus the battle will be equalized

I could see Usopp being picked by Shank’s crew after their first win for a big drama moment.

That would make Yasopp quit, It'd never work.
