How so? Lucci was damaged by gear moves, with gear3 almost Ko'ing him and gear second finishing him after a long battle. It took combination attacks from the M3(as well as the entire crew) with gear3 attacks+Asura+Diable Jambe Flambage shot to damage pacifistas, something Drake could do by himself in his T-Rex form.lucci
it took exhausted and damaged shs you meant right. hes feat less nothing he has done pre ts is impressive enough for him to be able to beat lucci does he have the speed to match lucci? the strength? that sent zoro flying across water 7How so?

In base he could also easily manhandle the Pacifista in question sending him flying at a farther distance than a combination of gear second bazooka+diable jambe+santoryu pound cannon manage.
M3 level fighters were also having problems versus marine captains. Drake was already a rear admiral even before becoming pirate. And because he was in the marine for 10 years or so, he likely mastered all rokushiki techniques, so even in rokushiki techniques, Lucci shouldn't get the advantage. He also possess a rarer(and stronger) zoan devil fruit
He had the speed to stop 2 supernovas in their tracks(see sig), impressing even Law, had the speed to easily manhandle a Pacifista(while landing multiple hits in the same instant), sending it flying farther distance than the combo Luffy-Zoro-Sanji could manage. I don't see him having problems speedwiseit took exhausted and damaged shs you meant right. hes feat less nothing he has done pre ts is impressive enough for him to be able to beat lucci does he have the speed to match lucci? the strength? that sent zoro flying across water 7
so what if hes a rear admiral? havnt we seen vice admirals getting low diff this arc alone being a vice admiral/rear admiral isnt a strength level its a rank that can be attained through various tasks
were the 2 supernovas moving at high speed or just running toward each otherHe had the speed to stop 2 supernovas in their tracks(see sig), impressing even Law, had the speed to easily manhandle a Pacifista(while landing multiple hits in the same instant), sending it flying farther distance than the combo Luffy-Zoro-Sanji could manage. I don't see him having problems speedwise
There is also strength and durability to factor in here where he is above Lucci for the reasons i already presented. He even quickly recovered from a kick at the speed of light(in base) and had only minimal damage from a laser shot, techniques that were puting M3 level fighters in their place
Rear admiral(let alone vice-admiral) was a prestigious rank pretimeskip. You can't compare pretimeskip(paradise) to post-timeskip(new world) where the fighters are stronger. Once again, M3 level fighters were having problems against marine captains
Lucci showed us what he is capable of and this dude is pretty damn strong. He has insane speed comparable to gear 2nd but not that extend, he has a lot of strength and his techniques are quite good in the end he has Rokushiki and is the best user we have seen so far so that sums it up for the most part.Why?
