Rob Lucci

Rob Lucci, a dedicated operative of the World Government's Cipher Pol, is also an enigmatic figure within CP0, often shrouded in a mask of secrecy. Originally introduced as a key member of CP9, renowned for being the most formidable assassin in the unit's history, Lucci's covert mission led him to the Galley-La Company's Dock 1 in Water 7. Concealed beneath the guise of a sawyer, treenail, and bolt specialist, he aimed to acquire the Pluton blueprints from Iceburg. Following his defeat at the hands of Monkey D. Luffy during the Enies Lobby incident, Lucci faced expulsion from CP9 due to the chaos wrought by the Straw Hat Pirates. Spandam, his superior, held him accountable. Nonetheless, Lucci orchestrated an impressive return within two years, reinstating himself into Cipher Pol under CP0, where he would subsequently surpass Spandam in rank. Lucci stands as a central antagonist in the Water 7 Arc, sharing the role of chief antagonist in the Enies Lobby Arc alongside Spandam. His role transitions in the Egghead Arc, where he evolves into an unexpected ally. Additionally, Lucci's prominence extends to CP9's Independent Report Cover Page Serial, which features the entire CP9 team.

Having consumed the Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, Lucci possesses the ability to shift into a full leopard form or a robust leopard-human hybrid at will. As a Zoan class user, he harnesses heightened physical capabilities, tailored to his martial arts prowess. Lucci adroitly amalgamates his unique Devil Fruit traits, such as enhanced claws and muscular legs, to augment his combat techniques. His carnivorous nature further fuels his aggression and predatory tendencies, evident in his ferocious attack on Luffy while transformed. Lucci's mastery extends to Seimei Kikan, enabling him to transition his stocky hybrid form into a sleeker physique. This streamlined shape grants exceptional speed, albeit at the expense of his Zoan-powered strength. Remarkably, Lucci attains Devil Fruit Awakening, unlocking an immensely potent hybrid form. This heightened manifestation significantly bolsters his physical prowess, speed, and recovery rate. Unlike conventional Awakened Zoans, Lucci's personality remains intact, diverging from the primal animal instincts. In this evolved state, he engages Luffy, their clashes showcasing equal footing for a time until Lucci's increased force results in his eventual defeat. Lucci collaborates with fellow CP0 agents Kaku, Stussy, and S-Bear as they journey toward Egghead, Wano Country. Their directive from the World Government involves the elimination of Vegapunk and his satellites. Upon their approach, Lucci's tactical acumen is apparent as he navigates challenges posed by Jewelry Bonney's presence and Vegapunk's countermeasures. The evolving events lead to a strategic maneuver involving Sea Beast Weapons and S-Kuma's abilities, ultimately aiding CP0's infiltration of Egghead. As Lucci encounters Luffy, their shared history is palpable, culminating in a fierce clash. However, constraints associated with Luffy's newfound status as an Emperor temper their battle. Ignoring the impediment, Lucci engages Luffy in his awakened Zoan form, leading to an intense exchange. Yet, Sentomaru's intervention alters the trajectory, embroiling Lucci in a multifaceted confrontation. Intrigue deepens within the Labophase as Lucci's presence aligns with surprising twists. A cascade of events reveals treachery and shifting allegiances, propelling Lucci into unforeseen alliances and confrontations. Throughout these upheavals, his cunning and determination remain undiminished, culminating in an alliance with Luffy against a common foe. Their combined might sets the stage for a dynamic clash, further illustrating Lucci's unwavering commitment and strategic prowess.

Kaku

Kaku is a member of CP0. Prior to being instated into CP0, he was a member of CP9, operating undercover in order to obtain the Pluton blueprints from Iceburg. While undercover, he acted as one of the five foremen of Galley-La Company's Dock One, specializing in mechanics, diagnostics, and housecalls. After CP9's defeat at the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates, he and the rest of CP9 were dismissed by Spandam. For unexplained reasons, he was later reinstated and promoted to CP0. At some point after Kaidou's defeat, Kaku, Lucci and Stussy continued to Egghead by mission of the World Government to eliminate Vegapunk and his six satellites.

 

When they reached Egghead, Kaku pointed out that they, in addition to kill Vegapunk, could also eliminate Jewelry Bonney for the trouble she caused. However, they were denied access to the island, simply being told to drop their Seraphim and then leave. Kaku tried to reason with Pythagoras for still getting access to the island, but after being repeatedly denied access, Lucci decided to abandon the ship and have the whole CP0-group being teleported onto Egghead by their Seraphim unit, S-Bear. After arriving on Egghead, Kaku got enthusiastic about exploring Egghead, stating he never fought things which could be seen on Egghead. However, his enthusiasm got himself harmed, as he was not aware of Punk Records' protective measures against enemies and got blown up in an explosion by its shield, though he remained mostly unharmed and scoffed at Stussy for withholding important information from them about Egghead's unique features. Later, when Luffy's group were about to make their way to the Laboratory, the CP0-group and Luffy's group met. Later, Kaku was with Rob Lucci and Stussy after they had gained control of the Seraphim from Sentomaru. When discussing the dome, Kaku remarked how its defense systems were not to be trifled with. Once the dome opened up, Kaku and the others made their way up to it using Geppo. When Stussy pointed out the Thousand Sunny and Lucci proposed they destroy it, Kaku eagerly agreed and tried to attack with his Rankyaku: Amane Dachi. However, he failed to account for Zoro, who was asleep on the deck and blocked the attack. The two then engaged in battle. During the fight, Kaku revealed that he had awakened his Devil Fruit, but was still unable to gain the upper hand on Zoro. Suddenly, Stussy bit Kaku's neck, causing him to fall unconscious.

Despite the excitement of the new chapter, early spoilers and raw scans have already been discussed.

Would Luffy and Zoro be willing to agree to the temporary alliance?
In chapter 1075 of One Piece, Lucci and Kaku proposed a temporary alliance with Luffy and Zoro to take down the Seraphim. However, from the expressions on Luffy and Zoro's faces, it seems unlikely that this alliance will come to fruition. Luffy holds a grudge against Lucci from the events of Water 7 and Enies Lobby and prefers to fight alone without interference. Similarly, Zoro would prefer to fight S-Hawk alone to gauge his own strength. However, since there are three Seraphim and Shaka is not a fighter, it is possible that Luffy may consider releasing Lucci and Kaku to fight the third Seraphim.
 

Bonney is learning more about her father and delving into Kuma's memories
Chapter 1074 of One Piece featured a crucial panel showcasing Kuma's memories and Oda has just begun to unravel Kuma's backstory. Given Oda's track record of completing character backstories, it is safe to assume that Kuma's story will not be left unfinished.

Kuma's memories are also a rich source of information about the World Government, the Revolutionary Army, his relationship with Monkey D. Dragon and Vegapunk, and more. With slavery and similar dark themes already present in the One Piece universe, Kuma's history as a former slave of the Celestial Dragons adds another layer of complexity.

Bonney is attempting to access the "Memory World" once again to learn the truth about her father. While Kuma's backstory was not revealed in chapter 1075, there is a possibility that it may be unveiled in the next chapter (1076).

Recent chapters have shown Kuma attempting to climb the Red Line despite being shot multiple times by the Marines. Fans are speculating as to why he is so determined to reach the Holyland of Mariejois. Theories range from Kuma being a former slave with self-destruct mechanisms implanted in his body, to seeking revenge on the Celestials. As Kuma's backstory continues to unfold, the reason behind his climb up the Red Line may also be revealed.

What activities or actions are being undertaken by the individual known as "kid" Vegapunk?
In Chapter 1074 and 1075 of One Piece, Vegapunk was noticeably absent, despite the Strawhats and Satellites dividing themselves in an effort to find him quickly. However, they are unaware that Bonney's Devil Fruit powers have transformed Vegapunk into a young child. It is possible that they will be surprised to find him in his youthful state.

Despite extensive island coverage by the satellites and their cameras, Vegapunk Stella has not been located. This has led to speculation that Vegapunk may be hidden in his secret lab, attempting to reverse the transformation and devising a plan to evade CP0 agents.

Given Vegapunk's reputation as a genius, it is likely that his upcoming exploits will be showcased in the raw scans for Chapter 1076.

By whom was Pythagoras attacked?
Pythagoras, the body of Vegapunk Satellite, was attacked by S-Snake when he ventured outside the lab to search for the Stella body of Vegapunk. This attack presents a major issue, as their most powerful creation is now working against them.

Pythagoras is highly regarded for its ability to analyze, observe, and compile data to produce the most accurate results. Therefore, it would be advantageous for their enemies to incapacitate it. The identity of the party who ordered S-Snake to attack Pythagoras may be revealed in One Piece Chapter 1076 spoilers. 

Wapol and Vivi are revealing confidential government information.

On Big News Morgan's airship, in One Piece 1074, Wapol and Vivi were hiding from the government. Wapol was paranoid that there might be wiretaps or bugs in the airship that could lead them to get caught. Fans started to think that Wapol might have done something to upset the government, or perhaps he saw something that they didn't want him to see, such as the assassination of King Nefertari Cobra. This may have caused him to flee with Vivi to avoid the Marines.

In One Piece chapter 1076, it is possible that Wapol, still in a state of paranoia, may reveal what he saw that made him flee from the government. This may give us information on why King Cobra was assassinated and how it may be related to Pluton. It's possible that IM-sama, the Five Elders, or the Celestial Dragons obtained information on Pluton and wanted it from King Cobra.
