In this quote, Lucky mentions alleged celebrity hacker g00byd0lan (g00by), known for being able to bypass FE (Filtering Enabled) features in Roblox experiences. When an experience has FE enabled, any changes or edits made to the code by hackers will not show up on the server for all players and will instead be filtered and removed. However, FE is not completely foolproof, as hackers like g00by have developed ways to exploit FE blocks and cause the damage that happened to Blox Fruits, regardless of the filter implemented.
Because g00by presents himself online as a light-hearted, unapologetic, and black humor-focused content creator/person, some members of the community, such as popular YouTuber Roblox sharkblox, believes that the trick could be an elaborate “joke” or scheme by g00by, and that Lucky is not involved at all. However, despite all the rumors, no official information has been released by Lucky, g00by, or any of the Blox Fruits developers at the time of publishing this article.
