The Death of the Scientist Vegapunk: A Shocking Moment in One Piece.
The One Piece manga rarely concludes character arcs, making the potential death of a significant character like Vegapunk quite a surprising turn in the story.
However, the character Lilith, one of Vegapunk’s creations, has managed to survive. She is the only one (besides the York clone) still alive. Moreover, she even ventured to Elbaf with the Straw Hats. Therefore, it is believed that she will play a crucial role as Vegapunk’s successor from now on.
However, Chapter 1125 of One Piece reveals that this event might not unfold completely as expected.
Vegapunk will return, and this time, he will be more prominent than when we first encountered him. At Egghead Island, while everyone is in a frenzy with Saturn, Punk Records unexpectedly begins to stir in the atmosphere.
Punk Records is where Vegapunk stores his consciousness, and thus, it doesn’t fully represent his physical form. The Cloud Machine surrounding the area has been activated, allowing Punk Records to float in the atmosphere. York notices this but is already too late to intervene.
Inside Punk Records, we see a new and entirely different Vegapunk. The scientist has gathered his creations, including Shaka, Edison, Pythagoras, and Atlas, forming a collective consciousness within.
With this, Vegapunk will return in a new form in Chapter 1125 of One Piece. It seems that his scientific endeavors have advanced from the beginning. This represents the reason behind why he created conditions for his own death to occur at the start of the story. However, with Vegapunk having improved significantly since then, how will the narrative evolve regarding scientific advancements? That is what we will seek to understand as the story progresses.
In another context, Imu concludes Saturn’s involvement after Saint Figarland Galing integrates the New World with a new scientific military force. Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, Dragon’s Revolutionary Army prepares for an impending battle, following Vegapunk’s extensive insights that have spread worldwide and are currently generating significant waves.
Specifically, Dragon emphasizes that the Revolutionary Army must conclude this journey sooner rather than later. The sooner they do, the better it will be. There will soon be a war to safeguard the safe zones on the Grand Line.
As a wanted criminal at the pinnacle of infamy and Luffy’s father, Dragon seems to be doing little as the story progresses. However, all these actions are because he is formulating a plan for something significant that could change the world order, a war to overthrow the World Government.
For this objective, he gathers allies and mobilizes everyone to fight for the common good. Vegapunk’s insights serve as the final catalyst that Dragon needs to act swiftly. The scientist is undoubtedly excited to see Dragon ready to take action.
One Piece Chapter 1125 will officially be released on September 8, 2024.
