luca marinelli character FIGHT: FINAL ROUND

it's been a fun ride. our final round is exactly what i expected it to be when this whole thing began, but truly where else could it have ended. it is, of course:

the RULES of this hypothetical fight are as follows:

weapons are BANNED.

re: nicky's immortality, within the constrains of the fight if primo managed to kill him then the fight would end and primo would win, even if nicky got better. essentially i want the immortality factor to have as little effect as possible (but he retains the 900 years of experience

outside help is not allowed. this is a one on one luca character only cage match.

take the above as guidelines only if you have a funnier hypothetical scenario but to keep this fair please vote based on who would win the fight. i think this is more evenly matched than one may think instinctually

ARGUMENTS can be found below the cut

i'll be honest these are difficult to divide into pro nicky vs pro primo arguments so here they are anyway and you can decide

"Nicky arguably wouldn't kill you unless you're a threat/have done something seriously bad, while Primo would probably kill you for cutting him off in traffic. He's killed people out of sheer annoyance and spite which is a thousand times more dangerous." - @goldheartedsky

"Nicky would not have needed two shots to stop Bertollini's car. Just saying." - @astrabear

"Primo junkies tend to dwell most on his physicality and malice (for good damn reason). But his cunning is what ultimately makes for winning ways. And yet, …how could he outmaneuver Nicky’s near millennia of sheer experience. That priestly powerhouse has seen it all. And yet, …Primo’s drive seems able to overrun every possible obstacle. Can he win on that white hot will? Or will another left hook like bicycles or phone phobias scupper his schemes? The only possible way to win this all is if he could manage to sway another Old Guardian to betrayal. To get the jump on Nicky (not that kind of jumping on) the surprise must come from within. No way Primo has that level of science or magic or whatever to sway one now. Nicky takes it and doesn't feel the least bit sad about it." - anon (really appreciate the level of thought put into this submission)

primo may strike first but nicky would retaliate and that would be the end of it

primo may have killed a lot of people but nicky has killed significantly more over the course of like 1000 years

and MY argument: i think primo could do it. i think primo could react with enough sheer speed and surprise factor that nicky would be caught off guard. but then again. this is nicolo di genova we're talking about here. ultimately i think they're fairly well matched under the above constraints. so.

hey do you have any thoughts on what fengcui are doing around the qian qiu extras timeline once yang guang's come into power? i found it weird that guang lingsan wasn't worried about feng xiao at all when he and yan wushi were hanging out during that period and the wushuang extras only confirm for us that cui buqu gets to live up to 40 iirc. i don't think yang guang would let his parents' rival spy agencies, that will never completely answer to him, stay once he has a hold of the reins.

Huh! Very good question, I'll be honest I haven't really thought about the logistics of the QQ + WS timeline lmfao. But I'm curious now and am very happy to work this out w you...in the extras, Yang Guang's running around w Yuxiu trying to get the support of Xuandu Mt. and Huanyue, right? (or are there more extras that I do not know about?) that would be pre-fengcui meeting, presumably that's when fengcui are just getting their feet under them as bureau(?) leaders. And didn't FX say something about the position of Fajing Sect Leader coming to him without much strife? I didn't pay so much attention to Guang Lingsan in QQ lmfao. Did he die in the novel??
