Exploring the Fate of Vegapunk Stella in One Piece

Dr. Vegapunk was first introduced to One Piece fans during the Egghead Island arc. Known as Vegapunk Stella, it has been a question among fans whether he is still alive after an assassination notice was issued for Dr. Vegapunk at Egghead Island. CP0, the most powerful unit of Cipher Pol, was tasked with locating and eliminating him due to his knowledge of sensitive information about the One Piece world, such as the Ancient Kingdom and the Ohara Incident.

Despite their knowledge that Dr. Vegapunk would eventually uncover and reveal the secret, the World Government still planned to eliminate him and destroy his inventions. Throughout the Egghead Island arc, Vegapunk Stella faced numerous life-threatening situations, but was ultimately saved by the Straw Hats.

Despite Kizaru and St. Saturn’s efforts to stop him, Vegapunk Stella has been confirmed dead, leaving fans to question if he was truly a threat to the World Government. This raises the question: was Vegapunk Stella truly alive before his demise?

During the Egghead arc fight, Bonney was almost on the verge of losing her life at the hands of the Pacifistas. In an unexpected act of selflessness, Dr. Vegapunk, who is known for prioritizing his duty with the World Government above all else, granted Bonney supreme control over his creations to ensure her safety and well-being.

Despite the possibility of justifying it morally, Saturn was deeply betrayed by Vegapunk’s decision. This only fueled his rage as he was prepared to end Vegapunk’s life. In his demon form, Saint Saturn used a spider-like leg to deliver the initial fatal blow to Dr. Vegapunk’s body in a fit of fury.

Dr. Vegapunk, aware of the gravity of his condition, stated that he would surely perish if he made any sudden movements.

Admiral Kizaru, along with CP0, was assigned the mission of eliminating Dr. Vegapunk, who was viewed as a significant danger by the World Government. In the Egghead Island arc of One Piece, Kizaru faces numerous situations where his personal beliefs conflict with his moral obligations. Despite this, he remains a dedicated admiral of the government, faithfully carrying out his duties.

After Sanji attempts to carry the injured Vegapunk, Kizaru intervenes by kicking him away. In a moment of opportunity, Kizaru uses his powerful Pika Pika no Mi, a Logia-type devil fruit, to deliver a fatal blow to Vegapunk.

Vegapunk Stella, also known as Dr. Vegapunk, has been confirmed deceased in the One Piece manga. It is revealed that Kizaru is responsible for her death, as hinted by subtle details in the story. In chapter 1108, an ECG scan displays a flatline, indicating the cessation of Dr. Vegapunk’s heartbeat. The subsequent chapter, 1109, shows a video transmission revealing the destruction of all of Vegapunk’s satellites, including Shaka and Pythagoras, along with the doctor.

In chapter 1109, the Gorosei stated directly that “Kizaru was responsible for the death of Dr. Vegapunk and he should no longer be alive.”

Despite the severe injuries inflicted by both St. Saturn and Kizaru, Vegapunk’s chances of survival are slim. However, One Piece is known for its unpredictable twists and turns, so it is not impossible that Vegapunk possesses some secret technology or technique that has allowed him to survive.

The full extent of his Devil Fruit, the Nomi Nomi no Mi, remains a mystery. Certain One Piece fans theorize that it may possess capabilities related to immortality or even resurrection.

In Conclusion

Despite being targeted for assassination by Kizaru and St. Saturn during the Egghead Island arc, Dr. Vegapunk’s death has been confirmed. The reason behind CP0’s orders to eliminate him was due to his possession of vital information, such as the Ancient Kingdom and the Ohara Incident.

Despite being repeatedly rescued by the Straw Hats, Vegapunk ultimately faced fatal injuries from Kizaru and St. Saturn as the World Government had always planned his elimination after destroying his inventions.

Evidence of his death is alluded to through subtle clues, including a flatline on an ECG in chapter 1108 and a video in chapter 1109 displaying his inert satellites.
