Dr. Vegapunk was the leading scientist of the SSG in the employment of the Marines. His work included discovering the secrets and uses of seastone, the secrets of how Devil Fruit powers work, the co-discovery of the Lineage Factor and its applications, the creation of the Pacifista and Seraphim, and various other scientific achievements that are said to be at least 500 years ahead of current technology. He hailed from the technologically advanced Karakuri Island and resided on Egghead, where his laboratory is located.
Before being employed under the World Government, Vegapunk had been the director of an outlaw scientific research team known as MADS, where he worked alongside other notable scientists such as Caesar Clown, Vinsmoke Judge, Queen, and Buckingham Stussy. The team was eventually arrested, and Vegapunk was later integrated into the Marines as its head scientist after MADS' dissolution. However, once the World Government learned he was researching the Void Century, they dispatched CP0 and conspired with his own satellite York to eliminate him, which resulted in the monumental Egghead Incident.
Vegapunk would end up being killed by his old friend, Admiral Kizaru, during the ensuing Buster Call on Egghead. Foreseeing this, however, Vegapunk left behind an important message regarding a catastrophic global future event to be broadcasted around the world in the event of his death.
First mentioned during the Post-Enies Lobby Arc, Vegapunk was a major background character throughout the series until his proper introduction during the Egghead Arc, becoming a major ally to the Straw Hat Pirates alongside his satellites and playing a central role during its ongoings.
At some point in the past, due to being occupied with his inventions, Vegapunk managed to split his being into six different people, referred to as satellites (猫（サテライト）, sateraito?, kanji literally meaning "cats") or "offshoots" (分身, bunshin?), which share Vegapunk's brain via Punk Records. These satellites all identify as Dr. Vegapunk and will introduce themselves as such, but also possess their own names and number designations to distinguish them, making them effectively six unique people. The satellites are also distinguished by embodying a particular aspect of Vegapunk's personality. Although they all have similar thought patterns, they use different first person pronouns and speech patterns. His true body was called the "Stella". The method Vegapunk used in order to split his being into six different entities is still unknown.
During the Egghead Incident, Shaka and Pythagoras were killed; Shaka by fellow satellite York, and Pythagoras by S-Snake. When Stella was killed, the remaining satellites appeared to be unaffected and are currently still alive.
Vegapunk was a relatively tall elderly man, having stood just under Jinbe in height (without his brain), with slender limbs and red cheeks. He had a noticeably elongated but neatly sliced head and had a shaft driven in to support a structure resembling the top of an apple-core and its leaf. His forehead was remarkably wide while his eyes were close to his potato nose. His tongue was incredibly long, reaching all the way to his groin, and was always sticking out of his mouth. He had a bald head on top, but had spiky white hair on the sides, as well as a thick mustache. He wore a short white coat with SSG on the back, a pink shirt with red polka dots, purple pants, and purple DOM shoes. Before he cut out his brain, the size of his head had supposedly reached the height of giants.
When he was 43 years old, Vegapunk had an enlarged head accounting for much of his height, and his hair was brown and covered most of his head. He wore a leather jacket, a white shirt, a belt, black pants, and dress shoes.
Three years ago, Vegapunk created Punk Records and transferred his enlarge brain there to significantly shrink his head.
When he was part of MADS, his head was much smaller with a bandage on the left side and lacked the mustache. He wore a Hawaiian shirt and goggles.
In his youth, Vegapunk was a generous person who cared very much for the inhabitants of his island, willing to help them with his inventions. He is considered the island's pride and joy, and the residents are still hoping for his return.
Each of Vegapunk's six satellites possesses a dominant personality trait that is presumably present in Vegapunk in general. While he has strong morals and a sense of justice and pride as a scientist (Shaka), he also possesses malevolent traits and an inclination to steal from others in order to fund his research (Lilith) and can be prone to greed and desire (York); there is considerable conflict and reasoning between these two sides. He appears to be quite thoughtful and wise (Edison and Pythagoras) but can be prone to getting angry at other people's inability to properly replicate and utilize his technological developments, to the point of lashing out violently (Atlas).
Despite his many traits, Vegapunk was ultimately a man of great compassion with a strong sense of morality. Much like Dragon, he also despised and lamented the political corruption of the world under the World Govenrment's tyranny, but chose to turn a blind eye to it, using the resources they provided him to further his research for the sake of peace and prosperity for humanity. Due to his compassion, Vegapunk secretly programmed all the Pacifistas to make Bonney the highest authority to prevent a possible tragedy where Bonney whom Kuma gave his life to protect ended up getting killed by a fully modified Kuma or his clones by the World Government.
Unlike his former fellow MADS scientists Caesar Clown, Vinsmoke Judge and Queen, Vegapunk was far more moral about what he would do in pursuit of scientific achievements. He refused to involve children in the gigantification process despite repeated failures and vetoed the creation or release of the H2S poison gas weapon for fear of it harming innocent people. He also preferred to focus on developing peaceful inventions contrary to the dangerous creation of his former colleagues and was against the idea of converting people into cyborgs like Kuma that included striping their own free will, memories, and emotions comparing this to murder. Likewise, Vegapunk also despised unethical human experimentation and was outraged to learn it was Saturn's experiments that led to the manifestation of the Sapphire Scales on Ginny and Bonney.
Vegapunk has a strongly idealistic and humanitarian side, proudly pronouncing his plans to use his future world-spanning inventions to help humanity and stop ongoing conflicts such as wars, even choosing to work for the World Government out of belief he could do more good for people by doing so. Unfortunately, certain people, like Jewelry Bonney, fail to see that side of Vegapunk as she was under the belief that he has no qualms with committing sacrifices and atrocities, personal or otherwise, in his air for greater knowledge and progress. This infamous perception is wrong, as Vegapunk tragically cried when he carried out the order given by Saturn and opposed installing a self-destruct mechanism in Kuma, suggesting applying a device that would give him "two personalities" to give Kuma the opportunity to reunite with his daughter. When Saturn ordered a Buster Call on Egghead, Vegapunk desperately pleaded with the Elder and Kizaru to reconsider, as destroying Egghead means destroying all the scientific progress made there, which would be a bigger loss to humanity than him personally.
He seemed to have an interest for dragons, as he created two of them on Punk Hazard, and an artificial Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into one. However, due to his serious perfectionism, he deemed the fruit a failure since its dragon form was not the same color as the dragon form bestowed by the real Devil Fruit it was based on.
Satellites
While Vegapunk's satellites all refer to themselves as Vegapunk, they each exemplify only one portion of Vegapunk's personality, and all have their own wills and desires and are therefore effectively six unique people. While this normally isn't an issue as Vegapunk was supposed to synchronize his brain with all of his satellites via Punk Records, York decided to betray Vegapunk and her fellow satellites in an effort to become a World Noble. Once her treachery was revealed, she was effectively treated as an enemy by Vegapunk and the other satellites. Vegapunk seems to be on good terms with all of his Satellites (minus York), as he pre-recorded a message together with Shaka and Pythagoras about the truth of the world all while they converse about scientific ideas and Vegapunk shared a coffee with them, even all of them jokingly spending the time when Vegapunk burned his tongue on the coffee, with Pythagoras worried and Shaka knowing it had that effect.
World Government
Vegapunk was once arrested by the World Government for his dangerous experiments in relation to research conducted into the Lineage Factor and cloning. Despite this run in with the bureaucracy, he was employed as their chief scientist in the Marines. He would go onto becoming the leader of the SSG. Despite being of great help in drastically increasing the Marines' military might with his inventions of the Pacifista and Seraphim, among presumably other things, the World Government has elected to kill him, which CP0 is currently on a mission to do, due to the fear he might perceive too much about the truth. Their fear was proven correct, as Vegapunk had studied all the books the scholars of Ohara had saved during the Ohara Incident and learned about the Ancient Kingdom. Understanding what the higher-ups would do were they to discover this, Vegapunk chose to keep it a secret, never revealing to them that Ohara had success in protecting their prized books. Vegapunk does not seem to view the World Government in a positive light, admitting to the Straw Hats he completely used all of the funding given for his inventions and only joining them to further his own research endeavors. Having seen the horrid ways of the World Nobles, Vegapunk was disgusted by them and was shocked that York would want to become one of them. Vegapunk cared about the staff that worked on Egghead. He never told any of them about his research into the Void Century so they wouldn't be treated as criminals should the World Government find out. He was horrified and outraged that Saturn ordered the ship carrying all the escape staff to be destroyed on the possibility that someone on board knew something. Jaygarcia Saturn Vegapunk seemed to display a particularly antagonistic relationship with Saint Jaygarcia Saturn. Vegapunk and Saturn had argued on at least 2 separate occasions on the subject of the unethical nature of Kuma's conversion into a human weapon. The two seemed to have a mutual disrespect for one another, with Vegapunk fearlessly arguing with Saturn, whilst Saturn rejected Vegapunk's concerns and reminded him of his place. Saturn would eventually order Vegapunk's death for studying the Void Century, and went to Egghead, where he confronted Vegapunk personally. When those meet in-person, they were hostile. Vegapunk was even more infuriated when he learned about Saturn’s actions that made Kuma’s life to be tragic for ruining his loved ones’ life. When realizing Kuma's self-destruction mechanism is not working, Saturn demanded Vegapunk is this his doing, which he confirmed because he didn't install it to Kuma. Saturn now dubbed Vegapunk as a traitor. When Saturn questioned Vegapunk on how Kuma was still able to retain free will and attack him, Vegapunk cheekily told him the "power of love" was the answer. When Saturn learned of Vegapunk's secret betrayal of programming the Kuma-formed Pacifista to obey Jewelry Bonney above all others, he furiously stabbed Vegapunk.
Being held in regard by most of the world as the world's smartest man, Vegapunk had contributed to numerous technological developments and was seen as one of the most notable figures in the world. Vegapunk was notable for having formerly led MADS, a rogue research team involved in several scientific discoveries and development of weapons. After this, he began working for the World Government and became one of their scientists, holding a very high position within the organization as one of their leading scientific authorities for several years. Vegapunk was in charge of a number of highly advanced Marine and government facilities, such as Punk Hazard and Egghead. He was the leader of the Marines' scientific research and development team, The "Science Unit" (科学部隊, Kagaku Butai?) which is responsible for most of the special technology found in the hands of Marines, including, for example, the use of Seastone lining on Marine battleships, which allows those to cross the Calm Belt without disturbing the resident Sea Kings. Another major achievement of this unit consists of the Pacifista project.
In addition to the normal Science Unit of the Marines, Vegapunk was in charge of the SSG, the special science division, which provided advanced technology and weaponry for the World Government, including not only the Pacifista, but also the Seraphim, which the Government hoped would be able to replace the Seven Warlords system as one of the current Three Great Powers. As the leadsScientist of both units, Vegapunk was in charge of every other scientist and researcher on the island of Egghead, with this authority being shared with his Satellites, who split his workload and responsibilities equally with him in order for him to focus on new innovations. As the creator of the Pacifista and Seraphim, Vegapunk has command over all of them, and is able to give them orders of any kind as a result, with his authority being the third highest, being shared with his satellites and being overruled only by the Five Elders themselves, who lead the World Government, and Jewelry Bonney, who he secretly put her as the highest authority.
PastFinal SagaPostmortemMeanwhile, Sanji kept ahold of Vegapunk's corpse as he and the other Straw Hats headed to the Giant Warrior Pirates' ship in order to escape the island. In the recording, after waiting for a period of 10 minutes to allow his listeners to prepare, Vegapunk began his message with a shocking revelation: the world was on the verge of sinking into the sea. Knowing that many would doubt his claims, Vegapunk proved his assertions through a data-based prediction involving a global earthquake that had just happened that very same day. Believing that he was in fact right about that event, Vegapunk admitted to the world that he was committing the crime of researching the poneglyphs, having used Ohara's research as the basis for his studies. Vegapunk then started talking about the Void Century, highlighting a certain figure in particular that he claimed was the first ever pirate in history: an individual known as Joy Boy.In the original Japanese, the names of Vegapunk's satellites are written with kanji which have meanings that correspond with the aspects they embody. For example, Lilith's name is written as 悪（リリス）, with a kanji character that means "evil" while the furigana gives the reading Ririsu or "Lilith". In the VIZ translation, these meanings are presented ...
•Vegapunk's appearance with gray hair, a mustache and a large tongue may be inspired by Albert Einstein, particularly the iconic photo of Einstein sticking his tongue out, albeit in a more exaggerated manner.
•His epithet as being the world's smartest man could also be taken off of Einstein, who was said to be one of the greatest scientists ever to exist due to his many contributions and theories in science.
•His brain being cut out of his head alludes to Einstein's brain being removed after his death for research.
•The apple-like lid over Vegapunk's head may be a reference to Isaac Newton and the popular story of an apple falling on his head, leading to the discovery of gravity.
•Furthermore, his apple-like head may also be a reference to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil from the Bible, in which many media and sources depicted its fruit as an apple.
•It could also be a reference to the fact in many pieces of media young students would usually give their teacher an apple as a sign of respect.
