This sentence itself is something. It was as good as saying Lucci is bloody strong and the World Government never expect him to fail any mission.
That's just becauses they send him on pussy ass missions to beat up carpenters. I mean really…
Althought i always believe Lucci will PWN the Shichibukai, no one will ever know for sure…
what is the point of haveing the shichibukai if they can train people like Lucci to take their place?
Another thing is, for those who like to look at the bounties, Luffy was given a 300million price on his head for declaring WAR with the World Governent…
In a way it was NOT for taking down Lucci.. Hell Lucci (the CP9) didn't even existed!!Thus given the claim by Bartholomew Kuma I would like to believe that...
LUCCI >= Shichibukai
erhm? so what if CP9 didnt exist? Luffy didnt defeat Crocodile acording to the Marines yet that is what he got a new bounty for.
if Lucci really is >= one shichibukai he also has to be >= Admirals (or atleast close to) since the whole marine organization = the 7 warlords. (doubt those three admirals alone are supposed to be equalling the seven warlords. im figuring that the rest: vice admirals, captains, petty officers and cipher pols also tip the scales)
