Vegapunk is probably the most busy person on earth. Why the does he need to care about his old lab to the point of randomly leaving his current position when he has tons of work to do?
What are you basing this off?

They're waiting for so long for his return on that mech island. And he is busy upgrading/building pacifistas.
When's Wintergt gonna do his next recap?
@Cyan:
Luffy: "Alright! TO FISHMAN ISLAND!"
Next week: One Piece gets cancelled.

Because he's a good person! Franky even cried at his story! Why wouldn't vegapunk be worried about the state of his hometown?!
I could see Vegapunk being cast as a character sympathetic to Franky's plight: the generic genius scientist forced to labor for a corrupt government who all too late discovers that his inventions aren't being used for defense but for aggression. We know, after all, that he is an empathetic character, crying for his countrymen. He might have seen the blood thirst in the war. That would give him motivation to soup up Franky. This would also develop Sentomaru's character, turning him into something of a guard/jailer

This, or he just corrupted himself in an endless search of knowledge and science, since because as Franky states looking at the blueprints, he's atleast 200 years beyond the world. Though if he corrupted himself, he would be another of the "Mad Scientist" genre.
how do you guys think about the pacing…zoro seeing mihawk the second time is well placed right now or not?
i think seeing him now seems kind of unnecessary^^
maybe if he learns something from mihawk it would be kind of a "needed" meeting at this moment in zoros journey. after having such a beat down with kuma 2x and kizaru i think it
s a good moment for zoro to grow now somehow to a higher level.
If Vegapunk was corrupted, then perhaps Franky, after visiting Vegapunk's home country, can redeem him by returning him to the person he used to be.

I kind of like the fact that Mihawk showed up on the island. It really emphasizes how much Zoro cares about Luffy. Zoro's dream is sitting right in front of him, but he is only concerned with getting back to Luffy. Also the chapter shows that there is still a big gap between Zoro and Mihawk. The monkeys were attacking Zoro, yet they were to afraid to go near Mihawks castle…

Please, I think Oda has been setting up the knowledge-driven Mad Scientist character way too much for it to ACTUALLY be true. He wants everyone to expect a doctor frog-noise ( ). I think vegapunk really is a nice guy! But he'll probably be really erratic XD
Now that Vegapunk has succeeded the transfer of a DF from one human body into a full cyborg, he may have more time for himself: time to have a trip to hometown.
Now is the perfect timing for one SH to meet Vegapunk: what would be the "excuse" when they will be in the New World ?
Vegapunk will hear about his lab being blown away, he will come back on the island, find Franky almost dead under the ruins and rebuild him with full upgrades.
probably Vegapunk will upgrade Franky with some laser like pacifistas, or will install some sort of DF/weapon. This will allow Franky to swim again and only the weapon will be affected by water
Wait, why would you upgrade the guy who just blew up your own lab?

Im pretty sure Vega Punk is already on the side of the revolutionaries, working with kuma…

Because fan speculations never cease to amaze.
Theories this year are upper aweome…
Perona will join, AL will be attacked, and Franky will be repaired by Vegapunk! Oh and Sabo's dead, but Moria lives!

I think you missed the heaps of sarcasm in that post.
But yeah, Sabo is Zoro AND Law guys! Even though he's dead! And since he's dead/Zoro/Law, he'll revive his brother Ace and tell his other brother Luffy to let Perona on the crew since she helped him get back to SA in time to rush over and defend AL from a Marine attack!
That's it I'm calling it right now, Vegapunk is gonna be a crewmember af the strawhats or a massive ally.
I mean he was up there in Barjimoa helping the people heat up their land and unifying the country, but now he's off making war machines for the government. Something is wrong right there! I mean let's take a look at what we know he has done. He's made a lot of discoveries concerning the Devil Fruit, such as feeding it to an item, and how to use seastone on ships to help them navigating in the calm belt.
All of this to help the Marines.
But why is he helping the marines?
It seems to me that the marines are just using him for his genius, probably lying to him (those lying bastards) or they have a card he can't trump and they're using him and promising him that he can get what he wants in the end.
But when is the end? When the strawhats arrive? Definitely. Will he teach us about the devil fruit? Probably. Will he join the crew? Hopefully
However it is all a question of how things fit together
How does Sentomaru fit into all of this? Is he just a commander for the Pacifista?
If so, who pulls the strings? Spandine? Sengoku? The Gorousei? Who is enslaving Vegapunk and how?
Well all we know now is that they protected his lab, but now Franky has destroyed it. I wonder if that will shift a balance.

This is all based on the suggestion that Vegapunk doesnt want to be there..what if he just is a regular good guy who hates pirates, like Akainu and others? Not that hard to think off..

Well since he is a genius why should he be oriented to one or the other?
I'm just saying that maybe he has a grand purpose in life, that's all

Don't forget, a Pacifista will join. And damn will the Sunny be crowded. Perhaps Franky will shit on his effort in making the Sunny and make a new boat with Vegapunk before bringing Vegapunk to join the crew!

Surely you're just looking at the crewmember picture. However I'm more interested in Vegapunk. Just who is he? What makes him do what he does?
Besides, all of the ones except Vegapunk would be just stupid now!

One of a kind Super Genius? I bet he is a far better inventor than Franky, who was in fact greater at building stuff than Usopp.
All in all not looking at the crewmember issue though, I think he's a very troubled character and the government and him are cooking poison together. First things first Luffy ain't gonna stand for that shit. I can't see him anymore as a super bad guy since he was tryinna help his kingdom. If he hates pirates, sure… After all one did mess up his lab. But he hasn't met Luffy.
I think I'm gonna go leaving this one to Oda

Interesting point? I'm discussing the character, I know it must be funny. Please now, this is a forum

I find the idea of a character coming in and usurping another character's role insulting. Usopp has always, first and foremost, been a sniper/gunner. He merely performed carpentry duties because no one else could and he loved the Going Merry.
Franky would be totally overshadowed by another inventor, particularly one as renowned as Vegapunk.
And what does a super genius do anyway? A genius at what? The role is meaningless. Is he a tactician? That practically elevates him to a command role. He simply doesn't feel right.

No you are putting random theories in

Cause he is also the guy who burned Pluto's blueprints.

Well I wasn't all too literal on that title of position there, but you've got a point. Usopp is a gunner. Franky is a Shipwright. What good would a genius do for the crew, he probably can't even fight, and there is no known position for him in the history books. But who knows what there is in the New World, wouldn't the strawhats need some technology on their ship to help them? He could maybe be a weapons builder? defending the ship and providing the weapons. However he doesn't need to be a crewmember to do that. He wouldn't even have to do that unless the strawhats would help him and if he was a good guy so even that alone is farfetched.
No you are putting random theories in
So you're just arguing with Me and not necessarily any of the things I said? Or just all the things I say?
Vegapunk is too much danger if he joins. He is a big fish and Strawhats will have to constantly run from admirals. After all, that is the job noone else can be trusted to fulfill.
He can join like Vivi-sit in his bunker and feel the frendship hugs. And share of gold dropping on his paypal.

I can't argue about the things you said… Cuz we have no clue about Vegapunk besides he wanted to save his country. NOTHING
So I won't argue with your theories like will he join, is he evil, is he good or whatever.
First of all we have to see him. He could be good and is forced to work for the marines or he could be plain evil and twisted.

Franky and Usopp have been shown to do well enough with that.
He could maybe be a weapons builder?
Usopp already made his and Nami's weapons. Zoro's aren't in need of inventing shenanigans, and Franky saw blueprints he can incorporate into himself and the Sunny, so no, Vegapunk doesn't need to make the SHs weapons.
defending the ship
that's everyone's job already…
and providing the weapons.
covered that.
However he doesn't need to be a crewmember to do that. He wouldn't even have to do that unless the strawhats would help him and if he was a good guy so even that alone is farfetched.
He doesn't need to help the SHs that directly though. Franky saw his blueprints, I'm sure a guy who can rebuild himself after being hit by a fucking train and make cola-powered engines and uber weapons for ships can incorporate Vegapunk's designs that he saw.
So you're just arguing with Me and not necessarily any of the things I said? Or just all the things I say?
Wrong, both he and I are saying that you have no basis for what you're theorizing except for fanfiction. We don't know much of anything about Vegapunk and you're sitting here saying he'll join or directly assist via inventing for the SHs. Where is your sudden knowledge of his character coming from? Why are you making baseless theories? We can't argue much against you aside from the knowledge of the SHs current dynamics that'd be thrown away for lolzinventions that I put forth above.

All that is fair for now. We haven't tasted the New World after all

I don't see why I shouldn't put something out there to discuss on. After all I'm just thinking about the story and discussions happen. Frankly I just find this Franky's interaction with Vegapunk's lab just fascinating and my hype for this character has spiked yet again. This is what, the fourth time that he has passed the story?
This got tired too quick. And so we wait.
Only Sanji and Robin now…. I am very afraid for Sanji
Can I ask one thing…? If in a million chance that Vegapunk would join the crew.... is that..... my fault....?
LOL!
And guys, Seriously, Selph is right. This is the forum to discuss the chapter and the ideas it generates, although Selph, you did take it a bit far, lol.
However, when we look at what we know about Vegapunk (admittedly very little) and add it to what we know about the scientists that Nami is with (again admittedly very little), there does seem to be a trend of some sort to do with science/technology not being shared with the regular people of OP. For what reason still remains a mystery, but it's a darned juicy one!
@I:

About the later part of your post, the government is just protecting people by not giving out dangerous technology. It doesn't need to have to do anything with any mystery. Imagine pirates using laser pistols
I am very afraid for Sanji
me too..he is one of my fav and i ll be completely dissapointed if he ends up being an okama princess

Ah but sharing doesn't mean the people themselves have to apply it–scientists and technitions can do that, can they not? Not to mention that if tech/science were shared, surely they'd be working on something other than lazers? The fact that Vegapunk hasn't returned to finish his warming machine seems to say something about the WG's priorities--(not something we don't already know, of course, but definitely a new wrinkle.) And what about the weather technology from the sky island Nami is on? Depending on how it works, it seems like it may be able to be helpful to regular sorts of folks, as well. ('Course, if it's like the dance power, stealing rain etc from other places and messing up the entre ecosytem, that's another story!)
And that wind knot thing--makes getting stuck in the calm belt on the seas pretty much no longer a problem for ships (although of course it doesn't solve the problem of the seakings' nests. You KNOW Nami is gonna leave with at the least one of those. May make getting to Kuja Island, if that's where things move, more likely.) but it also calls into question all of the theories about Dragon's potential d/f powers, now that we know there's possibly a different explanation for the unexplained winds... (not saying I think it is the explanation, just pointing out the potentials here)
me too..he is one of my fav and i ll be completely dissapointed if he ends up being an okama princess
I have a bad feeling that Sanji will still be in Okama form and we won't get anything new till the reunion
Just a few hours and we will get something about it…
But I have a bad feeling that Sanji will still be in Okama form and we won't get anything new till the reunion
How far do you think Oda will take the joke? Will Zoro/everyone else get to see Okama Sanji?
(It's a few hours too many!)
I get the mental image of Okama Sanji prancing about with the others, but as soon as he learns about Luffy he rips off his dress exclaiming ''What am I doing here at a time like this?! I need to get back!!'' and starts running out into the sea in his underwear while Ivankov and the New Kama are all like ''Hey wait!''
Still I want okama Sanji to meet with zoro XD
