[One Piece] Rob Lucci Bragged About “100 Men’s Worth of Power” — And Japan Absolutely Tore Him Apart
CP9
Rob Lucci (2018/06/24) — Was “100 Men’s Worth of Strength” Ever Impressive in One Piece?
Rob Lucci once flexed his “power equal to 100 men.” But in a world where Haki exists, was that ever supposed to sound scary? Japanese fans didn’t just doubt it — they openly mocked it.
■ Lucci’s “100 Men” Claim Gets Instantly Laughed At
Rob Lucci
“Don’t bother trying to endure it… We’ve mastered techniques that go beyond the human realm. Through long years of training, we’ve forged our tendons into weapons equal to steel.”
“The Six Powers. One person who has mastered them possesses the strength of a hundred men.”
5: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 Only 100 people? Why’s he acting so proud about that?
7: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 Haki be like “cool, 50,000 knocked out instantly.”
8: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 So weak.
13: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 Koby learned it in two years though.
47: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 Isn’t Koby actually amazing? He started as a chore boy in the Navy and made Captain in two years. He didn’t even want promotions. He’s basically the same as Smoker back in Loguetown.
52: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 >>13 In a world like this, if you’re even a little competent you rise fast. Honestly, anything below Lieutenant Commander is probably just a slightly muscular civilian.
61: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 >>47 Helmeppo rose at the same pace. If you’ve got a good mentor, it’s easy. Meanwhile CP9 trash trained from birth as the World Government’s lapdogs.
14: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 There was that owl guy measuring Doriki, but current Lucci wouldn’t endure modern attacks.
1: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/24 What the hell even is Rokushiki?
“It’s four at once. If you can take down enemies from all directions at the same time, tactics don’t mean a damn thing. Even if you fought all five billion people in the world, you wouldn’t be taken down.”
45: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 Sanji lol → only learned Sky Walk in two years. Koby → mastered Rokushiki in a little over two years.
51: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 In One Piece, “100 men’s power” is laughably weak.
53: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 A smiling puppet of the Celestial Dragons with 100-man strength.
59: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 He acts big as CP0 now, but he still lost to pre-Haki Luffy two years ago. He just reeks of small-time energy.
76: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 Zoans being strongest in close combat isn’t a joke line. If you’re melee-only, physical boosts matter.
Rob Lucci:
“The more you train, the more your power gets amplified.” “In close-quarters combat, Zoan-type Devil Fruits are the strongest of all!!!”
78: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 >>76 Even though it just turns into Haki-coated fistfights?
89: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 >>78 What if their Haki strength is equal?
102: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 >>89 Then the fight never ends.
104: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 Soru Shigan Rankyaku Geppo Tekkai Kami-e One of these is useless.
108: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 Tekkai is pointless. Why tank hits when you can dodge with Kami-e?
Fukurou: “‘Kami-e: Soft Mud (Slime).’” Franky: “Dammit!!! What the hell was that?!” Fukurou: “Chapapa lol.”
107: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 Even with 100 scrubs’ worth of power, he’s still a scrub.
70: Anonymous Pirate. 2018/06/23 Now this guy’s basically Admiral-tier.
Mother Carmel
“If he joins the Marines, he’ll be future Admiral or even Fleet Admiral material. If he joins Cipher Pol, he’ll become the Celestial Dragons’ strongest shield.”
“Fifty years in the child-selling business. Even by my standards, this is the best product I’ve ever had. Thirty-seven years ago, I put on a little act with the Navy and slipped into Elbaf.”
(´・ω・`) Koby strongest.
👉 Why “100 Men” Sounded Weak to Japanese Fans
Japanese readers instinctively compare scale, not statements. Once Haki entered the story, raw numbers lost meaning. Against Conqueror’s Haki, “100 men” isn’t intimidating — it’s embarrassing.
👉 Lucci’s Real Problem Was Timing, Not Talent
Lucci debuted before One Piece finalized its power system. Rokushiki aged poorly once Haki became explicit. Fans don’t hate Lucci — they just can’t unsee that he peaked too early.
