On Monday, December 5, 2022, the first spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1069 were made available, teasing the thrilling continuation of the Egghead Island storyline. There are a few major aspects that have been confirmed by the most reliable sources, even though spoilers for this issue have been released a little more erratically than is typical for the series. One such apparent fact is that Lucci and Luffy engage in combat in One Piece Chapter 1069, with Luffy emerging victorious. Further, despite some teasers stating he is in an Awakened Zoan form here, it appears that Lucci doesn’t really really put up a fight against Luffy.
If what we’ve heard is accurate, Rob Lucci may have doomed himself to a miserable defeat by coming to Egghead Island. The spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1069 are constantly changing, but the outcome of Luffy vs. Lucci remains unchanged. Some spoilers suggest that Luffy easily dispatches an Awakened version of Lucci, while others state that the two indeed engage in combat, with Luffy ultimately emerging victorious. Spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1069 vary, but they can all agree on one thing: Luffy ultimately prevails over Lucci.
Therefore, many readers are accepting the spoilers for this issue at face value. This is consistent not just with the previous issue, where the two first met each other, but also with what fans know about Luffy’s growth in comparison to what the ultimate pinnacle of Lucci’s power should be. The fact that Luffy easily dispatches the CP0 agent suggests that he may have used one of his Gears against him here. It would appear that as of One Piece Chapter 1069, Luffy’s Gear 5 form is the most powerful ability in the series. It seems to reason, then, that Lucci would be an easy target.
What’s more, it highlights how much Lucci either overrated himself or underestimated Luffy. After the Wano arc, CP0 revealed Luffy’s Gear 5 form, therefore Lucci should have known about it. Consequently, he should have known that, in his current state, he had zero chance of winning a fight against Luffy. However, it appears that Lucci, for whatever reason, either ignored or could not comprehend the tremendous contrast in their ability. While a rematch between Luffy and Lucci would have been exciting to behold, their fight in Chapter 1069 of One Piece seems to imply that Lucci has little chance of defeating Luffy.
Because of this, the once-cold and calculating Lucci now makes dubious judgments in battle, even when he knows what to do. It’s a bit of a departure from how Lucci was first introduced to fans in Water 7, and it may be an indicator that Lucci’s talents are starting to deteriorate rather than improve with age. All of this is based on spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1069, which have not been confirmed by either the complete synopsis from the series’ main leaker Redon or the issue’s official publication. Therefore, readers need to maintain an open mind and not regard any spoilers they encounter as true until the aforementioned summary or formal release is made accessible.
