Vegapunk Is Evil Because He Takes No Responsibility For His Inventions
Chapter # 1099 break Saint Saturn was listening in on the conversation between Vegapunk and Kuma and had every intention of turning Kuma ’s clones into the weapons of wipeout that they later became . Many of Vegapunk ’s inventions , like the Seraphim , the Pacifista , and specially the Mother Flame , have wreaked all-encompassing damageon the cosmos ofOne Piece . However , Vegapunk seems to miss any answerability for the damage done . He seems blissfully incognizant that his body of work is finance by the World Government , and thus his inventions are bound to be work for tyrannical purpose .
The Mother Flame alone was able to wipe out the universe of an entire island in mere moments . Although Vegapunk seems to be incognizant ofthe demolition of Lulusia , given his approach to exchangeable ethical concerns in the past , he likely would not bat an eye . Most notably , in Chapter # 1067 , when Jinbe raise concerns about Punk Records make clashing ideologies if shared with the integral globe , Dr. Vegapunk but tell that science would be unable to advance if hold back by those kind of concern . True to that , he is not worried about the use that the World Government will make of his invincible cyborg soldier .
Dr. Vegapunk Personifies The Risks Of Science Without Morals
Thus , Vegapunk is the personification of the hazard of " unbound scientific progress " , a common theme in sci - fi lit and a pressing concern in the real humans . Overall , while he is n’t entirely the cliché evil scientist , Vegapunk is sure enough far from innocent , despite his retiring , grandfatherly appearance . More importantly , this incident with Kuma is further proof that Vegapunk does indeed own the personality traits of his satellites , including York ’s covetousness and Lilith ’s evilness . As such , Vegapunkmay be a far more complex character thanOne Pieceinitially countenance on .
