Who Is Dr. Vegapunk? Does He Have A Devil Fruit?

‘One Piece’ is one of the longest-running animes to date. Not only that it is one of the most loved and well-received animes. On the contrary, most people do not watch or read one piece because it is very long. The manga has over 1000 chapters and over 103 volumes.

The anime starts with renowned pirate King Gold Roger confessing that he had buried the treasure ‘One Piece’ someplace in the Grand Line before he was put to death. Many pirates are currently searching for this fabled treasure to become the Pirate King. One pirate, Monkey D. Luffy, is a young man with rubbery abilities after consuming the Devil’s Fruit. He is now traveling with his group in search of One Piece, facing off against foes and meeting new allies along the way.

Dr. Vegapunk made his first appearance quite early in the One Piece’ manga. The top scientist working with the Marines is Dr. Vegapunk. He co-discovered the Lineage Factor and its applications, figured out how Devil Fruit powers work, and discovered the mysteries of seastone, among other scientific discoveries that are estimated to be at least 500 years ahead of today’s technology. He also co-discovered the uses for seastone.

Due to his preoccupation with his inventions at one point in the past, Vegapunk could divide his being into six distinct individuals. These six individuals, or “satellites,” will all announce themselves as Dr. Vegapunk even though they each have their names and numbers to distinguish them. The satellites can also be identified by how they seem to represent a specific feature of Vegapunk’s personality.

The identity of Dr. Vegapunk, the chief scientist for the World Government, has finally been disclosed, solving one of One Piece’s biggest mysteries. Fans of Eiichiro Oda’s bestselling manga have been reacting with shock and excitement to the unexpected revelation that Vegapunk is, in fact, a woman.
