The only reason I see Lucci becoming a Warlord is if he does so the get close to and attempt to kill Spandam, which, in all honesty, is a pretty good way to do it. I could see Lucci turning in some high profile criminal or pirate to the WG and becoming a Shichibukai. I honestly really like the idea, but there is the chance that Spandam (and Spandine) still have some influence over that decision.
