This Vegapunk Theory Is ABSOLUTE GENIUS | One Piece

[@stiandalby3271]

Vegapunk messaged Dragon about his death so he would know when the Gorosei are most likely to leave Marijoise. Expect a revolutionary attack the next 2-3 chapters.

[@RoshiMontega]

I just had a thought that since it seems they need Marine tech to broadcast to every denden mushi in the world that the broadcast could be sent from where Tashigi and the Punk Hazard children are currently since Vegapunk has been going back and forth from there and iirc it’s pretty close to Egghead

Well, I also really love par's theory that dragon can't leave Momoiro Island because he uses his fruit which is obviously some kind of wind or storm power in order to create a mirage and keep the entire island in a storm, thus protecting all the people of the island. It makes him a great protector and also extremely powerful. Gives him a great excuse not to leave the island very often.

Great theory! I think you only missed one thing. Vegapunk told Bonney he also needed to see Luffy with his own eyes to believe he is the Sun God. What if he also wants the whole world to have that realization!

[@MonteDLuffyy]

yeah but vegapunk has already seen luffy in gear 5 now 😅 so that doesn’t makes sense as well as his bounty poster in his nika form hence the giants made mention to it as well as bonney asked him about his bounty poster in the beginning of the arc lol

​@@MonteDLuffyy i think he is wrong just about telling bonney. vegapunk secretly wanted to see the sun god with his own eyes. from there, right after watching luffy use gear 5 on lucci, he created the last-ditch effort which is a message for the entire world to hear adding "luffy is the sun god nika".

[@Bundespropagandamin]

Under your last Video I postet: "Why does everybody need a screen, according to Vegapunk? If he wanted to tell us something, he could do it that way. He wants to Show something and what can he show? Quite simply, he knows about the destruction of islands and he wants Egghead to be destroyed to keep the secret. He counts down the countdown so that the Gorosei can destroy the island with all the marines and he can film it and show it to the world."

[@robertofranco4515]

It’s prerecorded not live.

[@Bundespropagandamin]

@@robertofranco4515 Of course it's pre-recorded, but that's just so the world government can frantically search for 10 minutes for the source of the signal and if they don't find it, destroy the whole island with all the marines etc., like Lulusia Kingdom. Just before the 10 minutes are up, they switch to live image when everyone has switched on their screens so that everyone in the world can see how ruthless the world government is. Afterwards, Dragon, for example, is allowed to categorise the events, etc.

[@Fahmiismaill]

​@@robertofranco4515it might be the intro clip from whoever the streamer is

[@CogNoman]

Another possibility is: Vegapunk will not reveal anything, he doesn't know the World Government's secrets. His plan is just to show people the government's extreme over-reaction to the threat of releasing their secrets, which will then make the whole world curious as to what the government is hiding. (I don't think this will happen, but it's possible.)

[@mortvald]

He does know a fair bit, granted maybe not some things like Imu's existance that could be covered by sabo's intel but he'll def reveal what the ohara research yielded.

[@trevorstroud9334]

nah...he def is gonna do some reveals...this is Ohara 2.0

[@montblancnoland4034]

Dont think im sure he knows alot more then he led on in the beggining of the arc he said all the books at ohara detailed alot of the history that was lost so he at least knows of the exsitence of the kingdom and at least its name sod prob thay will be revealed

[@vadersfist1775]

He might know the secrets of the void century. There was a line in an earlier chapter about his technologies being „ancient“, not futuristic. So he might have had access to old data, maybe from Ohara, as he was there where the books survived

[@Lukas-ht9xm]

@@montblancnoland4034 yeah the issue is, the knowledge of the existence of the ancient kingdom and its name, accomplishes absolutely nothing. what is a common citizen meant to do with that info? Oh there used to be a kingdom which doesnt exist anymore called xxxx? Cool, so what? and why the need for visuals then? it's far more likely that he wants to show the world the true forms of the gorusei and sun god nika.

[@Grayx7]

Wow... This could explain why Dragon's always looking east... It's where the broadcaster is set up, and the "..." Bubbles he always have is him contemplating on whether or not he should try to activate it before Vegapunk...

[@YourWayl0l]

Artistic levels of trolling😂

[@DoenerMitAlles]

I’ve got the feeling, the eternal youth surgery is more than we expected. Assuming Imu and all Gorosei live since the void century, all of them had it performed on them. We know the awakening of the Ope Ope no Mi. With that in mind, the eternal life surgery has to be a special room, like an enternal/timeless room, where your body overcomes the aging process and the creation of that takes the whole lifespan of the Ope Ope user. So Saturn might be covered in this E Room and it prevents damage from Gear 5 advanced haki attacks. Imagine Law having to perform the surgery on Luffy to allow him to fight the Gorosei in the E room, or to remove the E room from the Gorosei, sacrificing himself for the last big battle of the D clan vs their ancient enemies.

[@Snoozy96]

The gorosei mention that even they are not old enough to have known the Gum-Gum Fruits real name until recently. Meaning that they are not from the void century, however that doesn't mean that they are not long lived. Also on top of that it also doesn't mean taht they didn't have the eternal youth surgery operated on them, since they are definitely older than they should be, they are at least bare minimum older than Kureha since they were old in the God Valley flashback and that was nearly 60 years ago with no change to their visuals.

[@Crybaby-Media]

Do we know what happened to Law after Blackbeards victory?? I was thinking the other day, what if they use pudding (or her fruit) to alter peoples memories. What if laws memory is erased to the point he is convinced Blackbeard is deserving of the immortal surgery?

[@JRMagro]

@@Snoozy96 the nika-nika fruit might be legit ancient though, no? I believe Nika was known for thousands of years, easily could have pre-dated the void century. So maybe they're not that old, but are still void century old. Who knows tbh

I forgot about Vegapunk time warping, but now that you mention that... Once the Gorosei are caught in 4k trying to hide important info from the world. I would love to see Sanji and Zoro come back and defend Punk Records with Luffy. Barely holding their own in a 3 v 5 and slowly get driven back. Most of the world ends up believing Vegapunk's message and they start rooting against the Gorosei and want Nika to stop them. Similar to Luffy on Fishman Island. When it looks like punk records will be destroyed, Sabo and Dragon arive via Vegapunk's time warp to help defend punk records and this leads to a stalemate, which causes the Gorosei to retreat. People then think Sun god Nika/Luffy now has the revolutionary army in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet!

[@john52933]

I would like to thank you for uploading this theory, i also shared a lot of these ideas but some of these ideas i just learned from you and it makes me feel so happy that someone also shares these thoughts. - Ju Peter jumping the gun assuming the Labophase is the only place the broadcast could be transmitting from. - Dragon being involved with this Plan (But i only said its being Transmitted from Kamabakka) - A 3D Chess Move that the Gorosei would not see coming - The possibility of the recording being made right before the incident. - Robin possibly having some part in it Dragon doesn’t need to do 50 Named attacks in order to “Do Something” I believe he has shown up one too many times for it to not mean anything. The possibilities just get me more and more hyped, but no matter what happens, i just can’t wait for these new Chapters. 2 20/10 Theories in a row imo. This Theory and the Sanji Theory are some of my favorites in 2024 along with Hidden Island’s Lafitte Theory that i also share ideas with. This content is very well appreciated Joyboy! Thank you!

[@odleo]

JB, I also thought of the streaming not coming from Egghead because Vegapunk is a genius and knows how information backup is important. But my take would be not on Dragon and Kamabakka, but on the moon and the Space Pirates. The moon has yet to have an important role in the story and the Space Pirates existence has to be touched upon sometime.

Definately agree that lab is a red herring and it’s coming from somewhere else. I don’t think it has to be The revolutionaries, but I do think they need to contribute to the broadcast at the very least, given Sabo’s knowledge of IMU and how useful footage of the Gorosei in their demon forms would be at proving Imu’s existence.

[@SomeCallMeAku]

The 10 minute timer that Vegapunk set up could be a red herring, in that rather than being time for people to set up for the message, it's actually the time necessary for the Labosphere to upload the recording to another location that will actually make the broadcast. Making the WG think that they have time to prepare to stop it when in fact it's the time they have before it CAN'T be stopped.

[@BladeEdge86]

Oda has done a lot of fake outs, so this is plausible.

[@michaeljebbett160]

[@Agent_157]

This makes sense since we both received 2 cliff hanger chapters - 1. Vegapunk will reveal something 2. Saturn summoning the gorousei. Since it ise pre recorded and knowing egg head island. I think Vegapunk will start revealing cloud database type of invention which he wanted all along. So since destroying the unit doesnt destroy the files. They might do some fact checking and show videos in the actualy luffy fight simultanoiusly. This will be the heavy punch of the story. If Wano is about Lineage and prophecy, Egghead is about Truth and revelation.

[@TOPA808]

3:00 No wonder Oda specifically worked on his ability to draw butts before Egghead started!

this makes so much sense man... Even oda introducing us to ginny, a kid that knows how to spread information around the world shown us in the god valley incident... INSANE play by Oda

[@stallionsLP]

I think one major thing of note some aren't thinking about, is that if Vegapunk and Dragon succeed in revealing all the screts, the ancient kingdom, the true monsters the Gorosei are and so on and even revealing Imu and all the crimes against humanity the World Government had done to keep power eternally, then odds are Imu is going to step out of their main room and try to reset literally everything back to square one because trying to put the genie back in the bottle. Odds are if that is the case, that basically gives Luffy and co. a time limit to haul ass out of there, go to Elbaf to get the last info they can (and potentially secrets about Imu on how to beat them) and then make it to the final boss arena to stop them before they all but obliterate EVERYTHING.

[@jakobjuric9948]

okay so i have a really far fetched idea, you always talk about parallels with oda, and you mentioned the parallels about the five stellas and five elder, so in the spirit of one piece discussions here we go. Borsalino is going to join the straw hat pirate alliance, thus paralleling Kuzan joining the blackbeard pirates. Kuzan got into a fight over the admiralship and left the marines cuz he did not agree with the direction the marines were taking, we see aokiji is unhappy, even suffering, being described by you as a sort of slave, after hearing vegapunk he could switch sides and help against the elders. I think it also fits odas writing, always wanting to keep us on our toes, and being unpredictable, at the same time making sence in the story, maybe he wont join the crew, or the straw hats, it is a little out there, but he could join them for this fight, maybe hold the enemy off for the straw hats to escape, again having a parallel to kuma, both being enslaved somehow, and having two sides of struggle portrayed. ok, this is a long comment and i know my english is bad, sorry for the rant, i could say more but the idea is fresh and need to brew in my mind for a bit

JB, HOLY FUCK! This has got to the one of the best theories for One Piece since Kanjuro’s betrayal! I was thinking that the signal would be hidden away within the iron giant’s armor since that thing could probably withstand a Buster Call, but now I’m really hoping that it’s with Dragon. Just- wow, man. This one has to be the one. It’s too perfect

[@omkar0455]

Moreover what really sells this more to me is that oda always has a tendance to foreshadow in the very first panel of a characters appearance!! Kanjuro is the best example is duality was revealed in his very first panel, he was holding a cabbage in his right hand and throughout the series until his reveal he was drawing with his left hand!! And here it is vegapunk we're talking about, the freaking character that we've been waiting to meet and being built up ever since alabasta or and first mentioned in episode 315!! I can definately see why this theory is true.

[@knicknevin9975]

If this is all a part of Vegapunk's plan, then I'd argue that York's betrayal might also be a part of the plan. Or a ruse even. It's all a trap. Everything was set up to ensure that Saturn would show up personally in order to secure the Mother Flame. And now that the rest of the Gorosei have arrived the plan is probably already complete. Vegapunk can either do a live broadcast of their true forms, or maybe he's set up a doomsday device to just blow up the entire island. Maybe even both. But I don't think the broadcast is coming from Kammabaka. I think he set it up on Ohara. That'd be some poetic justice.

I just want to say, that I believe that Vegapunk already speculated that the 5 elder stars might show up. I believe the recording is happening somewhere else and its going to go out without a hitch. I think that's what the 10 min wait time represents, that he already took into account The moves the 5 elder stars would do and going to make them look stupid. it be even more insane if in the end, the recording goes to live view of egghead and show the world the 5 elders in the end. man, that would set ripples around the world. Imu might ask for 100 % cleansing of the world after that.

[@BladeEdge86]

It is highly unlikely that Vegapunk knows the entire truth, but is likely that he knows enough of it to do serious damage to the world government. Clover was murdered at Ohara before uttering the mere name of the ancient kingdom, at the very least we the readers and the citizenry of the One Piece universe will know that much by time his broadcast is complete. It is also likely Vegapunk may tell the truth about things we the reader know, but your average citizen in One Piece dosen't know, like what happened at God Valley for example. There is a reason Oda only showed only a brief glimpse of God Valley so far, he might show another before this arc is over. It is also possible that Vegapunk may know about Imu, imagine the scandal if the entire world found out.

[@dillmader8042]

The markings on Saturns body are the same as when luffy goes gear 4th the first time and we see the swirls on his fruit and body. Is this Oda actually hinting at another form of Devil fruit utilisation/Another Awakening form where the devil in your fruit you can control or something.

saul is at the very least a red herring, no doubt!

[@kaustubhmishra8329]

it makes sense someway but I still think the message was recorded beforehand and vegapunk intentionally delayed everything so that he could either physically or for some other reason transfer the message/video.

Gods knights v revolutionary army would be interesting

[@BackByDesign]

This is incredible. It would be beautifully foreshadowed by Oda to since not too long ago we learned about Sabo faking his location by intercepting snail signals. I’ll take ur theory one step further and say it has to be a video because the big reveal is either Dragon is on Ohara with Saul and the books he saved or Saul and the books went to Kamabaka. Nobody would be able to deny that amount of credibility. A defected marine vice admiral who the government almost killed while burning down Ohara and the books to prove it.

[@mertyilm_z]

I enjoy listening your theories not because correctly guess the future but because you provide and alternative reality which makes me experience one piece in different ways. I think this theory is great and I enjoyed something like this could be set up and would be amazing. But most of the time, the simplest path is correct in one piece. The time will be up, and vegapunk will reveal something big and straightforward, our guys will run away, some people sacrifice themselves

[@invisiblechicken]

This is a great theory. I also immediately thought that Egg Head Island is a Red Herring and that the transmission is coming from somewhere else. I have an idea in my mind that I can’t shake though even though I can’t really explain why I have this idea. What if the transmission is coming from Marijoa? That said, at this point anywhere other than Egg Head is almost guaranteed to result in the full message being transmitted.

[@wickerman2817]

I like the idea it's going to be transmitted from ohara

[@jbpbl]

The last part was on point,but what if the "10mins waiting time" purpose was to lure the 5 elders to warp into the island. Remember they can warp only by summoning, that leaves the mariejois vulnerable. maybe thats why dragon is doing nothing. On the past chapters, dragon was the one worrying about the celestial knights, this may be the only time that they have the upper hand battling them.

[@CellaDragon]

What if it’s a distraction to pull the elders away so Enu is left alone and easier to confront? He would figure they’re going to send everything to try to stop the message and that they would figure it’s on the island. So the most powerful forces are distracted which could have spots all over world more vulnerable for the scattered rebels/pirates to attack, while dragon takes on Enu. Just a thought

[@ninjagirl226]

Here’s my thought on why Vegapunk wants visual. It could be to broadcast what’s going on at Egghead. Or it could be because he’s a perfectionist and sees 10 min as worth the risk to have his message in its complete form sent out. Kind of like how Momo’s artificial devil fruit was a failure cause the dragon is pink. I don’t think the point of transmission is on Egghead. That seems too stupid as well look at O’Hara. It’s possible Dragon is in on it but it depends how long as this deadman switch been there because the Revolutionary Army hasn’t been in the Kamabakka Kingdom very long (since the Zou Arc). So either the broadcast point is movable, the deadman switch is recent, or it’s not with the Revolutionary Army. And to some extent why would you keep it with them because while it works in the current set up of the story but the Revolutionary Army is a target of the World Government. Especially with what happened to the Lulusia Kingdom and I suspect Vegapunk knows exactly what happened; I wouldn’t put the broadcast point with them. He needs somewhere that’s not a target of the World Government, somewhere he can access, and with someone loyal to protect it. O’Hara would be fitting. We know Vegapunk visited there after the buster call, it shouldn’t be a target of the world government anymore, but who would protect it? Sure Vegapunk could build something but that seems like just a variable that hasn’t been introduced yet. But one other faction was on O’Hara when Vegapunk visited. The Giants rescued all the scholars books and research. Vegapunk travelled to Elbaf to study the ancient kingdom in secret. Elbaf is not affiliated with the World Government and due to the giants strength the World Government fears upsetting them as noted when the Giant Warriors Pirates were released instead of being executed. And the Giants due to their strength could protect the broadcast point and would likely want to not just for Vegapunk but for Clover and O’Hara. I think the broadcast point is in Elbaf. I think Dragon or someone in the revolutionary army will try to repeat this down the line to communicate who Imu is and what happened to Lulusia. This could happen immediately after Vegapunk ends his speech. Or it will happen later on in the series because the Revolutionaries to my knowledge don’t fully understand what happened to Lulusia. They just know it was destroyed in a flash of light. They will do this speech then after coming in contact with one of the remaining Vegapunks. They can then explain how the broadcast was done and tell them exactly what happened to Lulusia as they know about the mother flame.

What about the hologram technology? I think Oda showed it to us for a reason.

[@scuba7236]

This makes me feel better about dragon waiting, the time limit, and the current scenario of egghead. Although, if it doesnt play out this way id be a bit more concerned. Great vid JB, this is now also my headcannon.

[@alphadlaw2888]

I just want to point out, for all we know, dragon could very well be in his way. The panel with dragon doesn’t show him with the rest. He could still be with them at the base but it’s also possible he set out to egg head. Only flaw I saw with this was why sabo didn’t go with him but that could be because they need sabo to stay with the army when dragon isn’t with them or they need him for a different mission. But yea, it’s possible dragon headed out on his own to egg head as his panel only shows him staring off into the distance it we don’t see where he’s at or if he’s even with the revs. He could be on a boat or some flying creature. Tbh, I doubt this but it’s something I noticed when reading 1109

[@davidwilson6577]

Yeah man, my first thought as well. It's a solid assumption he'd be transmitting from the labophase, because the frontier dome makes it so secure, but it's an assumption.

[@mattbrown9631]

It is almost guaranteed that the message is not originating from Egghead. Vegapunk most certainly accounted for the possibility of the island being destroyed

[@AngelMerino007]

Absolutely amazing, JB. Regardless of the headcannon ownership detail. This might, indeed, be the best ass whopping in anime history.

[@TRIPLETW0WNZ]

the 10 min thing is definitely a distraction, this theory makes sense, Vegapunk isnt as sloppy and he is indeed the smartest man alive. I can see how the Gorosei would destroy egghead but since the transmission is being transmitted from Kamabaka Kingdom potentially it would make sense to make the world gov panic and act hastily and basically trip on their own shit and finally salt those wounds by Dragon

[@goinraw365]

Vegapunk wants to show the return of the sun god. Luffy's power is strengthened by the amount of people that believe in him. I believe Vegapunk wants to teach to those who believe in luffy, how they can help him. That being by singing and doing the nika dance. Genius.

[@thephantomrodge3318]

I think vegapunk isn’t going to truly die, his original body is destroyed but it can be replaced since he removed his brain. This is backed up by the fact that his satellite bodies may die but the original body didn’t assuming they’re linked via the brain. How else do you think Stella’s death triggered the message? His brain is the real vegapunk. The original body is just another satellite imo… this is why oda is the author, not some fan theorist

[@anuragtripathi7559]

In order to expose the world goverment all he needs to do is to able to convert the memories of kuma into his video and transmit it to every den den mushi which will actually right the wrongs done in kumas name and will also uplift kumas reputation for bonney as like ace she has been hearing everyone say kuma the tyrant. This was also reflected via luffy intially in the arc.

[@PennytheBALLstar13]

That thumbnail is hard asf😂

[@thatguyinthebeanie]

I think it's interesting that the only other time we have seen a large scale broadcast like this was Marineford, which did not go to plan for the WG. Makes me think Vegapunk got the idea from Buggy

[@renerios7319]

If the events at Egghead go down like this theory proposes, man this has to be hands down the best arc in One Piece! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@OfficiallyMagic]

Good to see you still killing it joyboy my brother - great theory here nobody mentions the warping tech, I forgot myself! Really plausible thoughts here 👏 - hope your good my bro 👊 ❤

[@williamsmacua6431]

Joy Boy I have been following you for years and I am still in love with your theories. Wish you the best for you and your family.

[@JoyBoyTheories]

thank you fam! You too

[@williamsmacua6431]

@@JoyBoyTheories you are my favorite one out of all of them.

[@Flippopotamus]

Luffy straight up Monstars Space Jammed Saturn and he still got up... Im so fucking excited for this next chapter JB.

[@grendel7716]

Kind of disagree on this one. Einstein had 10 identical suits so Vegapunk wearing the same clothes isn't huge and not sure if the satellites were all created at once. Dragon could be the source but it would be awesome if the pacifista were acting as the transmitters. They would be spread out around the world and very unlikely to all be destroyed. Plus it would make Kuma the herald of the dawn

[@markbrand436]

My thought for the 10 minute timer was that Vegapunk was going to create the DenDenMushi Internet and that's how long it would take to buffer. Distribute his collected knowledge to every snail and give the world the freedom/liberation of information.

[@J-roll1]

Thing is vegapunk is so smart that there's no way the source of the broadcast is in much an obvious location

[@BitbenderM]

I reckon the name of the ancient kingdom is gonna be as simple at Nikaland. Nika is the main word to be removed from history, going as far as making sure the name of the fruit was something most people wouldnt think was useful. Looking at the tontatta too, which iirc they were in the void century and possible allies of the ancient kingdom, they called usopp "usoland". I feel like that was a clue to the name of the island

[@dragonmangames2523]

Nope! Usopp and the other Straw Hats (plus Law) were being called *-land because of Montblanc Noland saving the Tontattas during a time when he was alive. Usopp, wearing a chestnut-shaped helmet, bluffed that he was a descendant of Noland, and came up with the Usolanders himself.

[@revuman]

I wonder, Luffy got pissed at Ussop for asking Raileigh any info about the One Piece. How would Luffy react at been spoiled by Vegapunk this way? Unless it is some information Luffy doesn't care or already knows, like exposing the Gorosei as these weird alien demons in a live stream.

[@rjermayne]

Same as I was thinking... VegaPunk is smart enough to think that his message will be interrupted if it will transmit from EggHead.
