Dr. Vegapunk stands as the foremost mind behind the Scientific Squad of the Government. Employed by the Marines, his groundbreaking research delves into the mysteries of seastone, the enigmatic workings of Devil Fruit powers, the profound implications of Lineage Factor, and the development of advanced creations like the Pacifista and Seraphim.
Originating from the innovative Karakuri Island, he now operates from his laboratory on Egghead.
Prior to his affiliation with the World Government, Vegapunk led an unconventional scientific group called MADS, alongside luminaries such as Caesar Clown, Vinsmoke Judge, Queen, and Buckingham Stussy.
However, their activities led to their apprehension, and Vegapunk was eventually absorbed into the Marines as their chief scientist.
Yet, his pursuit of knowledge about the Void Century raised suspicions, leading to a plot orchestrated by CP0 and his satellite York to eliminate him.
Throughout the Egghead Arc, Dr. Vegapunk and his satellites, except for York, align themselves as crucial allies to the Straw Hat Pirates, showcasing his multifaceted role in the unfolding saga.
What Is Vegapunk’s Height?
Dr. Vegapunk is depicted as an elderly man of considerable stature, standing just shy of Jinbe in height, excluding his brain. His physique is characterized by slender limbs and rosy cheeks, with a head that’s notably elongated yet cleanly divided, resembling the core of an apple with its leaf-like structure supported by a shaft.
His forehead is notably broad, complemented by a lengthy tongue and eyes nestled close to his potato-shaped nose. His bald pate contrasts sharply with the sides adorned with spiky white hair and a voluminous mustache.
In terms of attire, he sports a short white coat emblazoned with the initials SSG on the back, paired with a pink shirt featuring red polka dots, purple pants, and distinctive purple DOM shoes. However, before his cerebral reduction procedure, his head had purportedly swollen to the proportions of giants.
At the age of 43, Vegapunk’s appearance was characterized by his enlarged head, dominated by dark hair covering most of its surface. His attire at that time consisted of a leather jacket, light shirt, belt, dark pants, and dress shoes.
Three years before the present events, Vegapunk initiated the creation of Punk Records, transferring his enlarged brain there to dramatically reduce the size of his head.
During his tenure with MADS, Vegapunk’s appearance differed significantly, featuring a smaller head adorned with a bandage on the left side and lacking his trademark mustache. His attire then included a Hawaiian shirt paired with goggles.
During Kuma’s exposition on Pacifista modifications, Vegapunk is described as donning yellow gloves and a striped shirt underneath his customary white lab coat.
Which Devil Fruit Does Vegapunk’s Have?
Vegapunk possesses a unique ability stemming from consuming the Nomi Nomi no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. This fruit grants him extraordinary cognitive capabilities, enabling his brain to retain an infinite amount of information and recall it with perfect clarity.
However, this gift comes with a notable consequence – his brain and head continuously swell in size as he absorbs new knowledge.
Despite being inherently gifted, the powers bestowed upon him by the Nomi Nomi no Mi amplify his intellectual prowess to unparalleled heights.
His scientific acumen surpasses that of any other individual in the world, leading to groundbreaking advancements in science and technology that leapfrog conventional understanding by an astonishing five centuries.
What Are Vegapunk’s Abilities and Powers?
Regarded as the epitome of intellectual prowess worldwide, Vegapunk stands as an eminent figure renowned for his invaluable contributions to technological advancement.
Prior to his esteemed position within the World Government, Vegapunk led the enigmatic MADS, a renegade research faction instrumental in numerous scientific breakthroughs and weaponry development.
Upon transitioning to the service of the World Government, Vegapunk ascended to a prominent role as one of its foremost scientific authorities, spearheading groundbreaking projects and overseeing cutting-edge facilities like Punk Hazard and Egghead.
At the helm of the Marine’s scientific research and development team, known as the “Science Unit,” Vegapunk orchestrated the creation of revolutionary technologies, including the implementation of Seastone-lined battleships capable of traversing the treacherous Calm Belt without agitating the resident Sea Kings.
Notably, he masterminded the Pacifista project, a formidable force within the Marine arsenal.
Furthermore, Vegapunk held sway over the Special Science Division (SSG), entrusted with developing advanced weaponry and technology crucial to the World Government’s strategic prowess.
Under his purview, the SSG birthed the Seraphim, envisioned as a potential successor to the Seven Warlords system, thereby solidifying the Three Great Powers.
As the head scientist of both units, Vegapunk exercised authority over all researchers stationed on Egghead, with his responsibilities shared among his Satellites, allowing him to focus on innovation.
