A piecemad scientist Dr. Vegapunk played a key role in the Egghead Island arc, but the exact nature of his identity is a bit confusing to follow. This is because the scientist created many different sub-bodies, all of which shared his thoughts and were identified as Vegapunk. Luckily as more information has been revealed about Vegapunk, fans have discovered more about how these “satellites” relate to his overall identity.
Vegapunk made his long-awaited first appearance in chapter #1061 of the manga, causing a huge reaction from fans who expected the scientist to be an old man. Vegapunk is the greatest scientist in the One Piece world. Initially, he was a member of a group of genius scientists called MADS, then disbanded by the World Government, Vegapunk went to work for the world’s most powerful organization One Piece. Although mentioned as early as chapter #433, manga fans have only known Vegapunk from his inventions until now, including One Piece’s Pacifista robot, the Seastone element that can neutralize the The power of Devil Fruits and other dangerous weapons play a big role in this process. keep the World Government in power.
There are actually seven different vegetarians
When Vegapunk appeared as a young girl, many fans believed that this could actually be a clone or a robot body, based on the “Punk 02” label on her jacket. One Piece chapter #1062 confirmed this suspicion to be correct. Vegapunk standing in front of the Straw Hats is “Lilith,” one of six bodies the scientist created to be able to monitor the incredible amount of scientific work he is busy with. Each of the six bodies is associated with a different quality, and in fact, the two modes that appear in this chapter exhibit very different behaviors and personalities. Lilith is associated with “evil,” while Atlas, who meets Luffy, Jewerly Bonney, Chopper and Jinbe on Egghead Island, is “wrath.”
It remains unclear what these six Vegapunks actually are. According to the information shared by CP0 at the end of that chapter, Dr. Vegapunk was originally divided into six people. Kaku, a CP0 agent, calls them “Satellites,” which gives the impression that they are remotely controlled by One Piece’s original Vegapunk, however, he also says that they are all “also Tien Vegapunk”, leaving the mystery open. It has since become clear that Vegapunk does not directly control the Satellites, but it remains uncertain whether these bodies are clones, robots, or living entities that have merged their minds with the scientist’s.
Vegapunk’s satellite remains a mystery
There was a huge debate among fans when Vegapunk first appeared in a female body. Some people believe that it is true and that One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda is simply misleading his fans by making them believe that Vegapunk is a man. In the end, Oda revealed that Vegapunk’s original body was actually an old man, but he still did not reveal what the Satellites actually were.
