One Piece Details Dr. Vegapunk's Final Clones

One Piece has taken another crucial step into Luffy and the Straw Hat crew's next major arc, and the newest chapter of the series has further revealed more of the crew at Dr. Vegapunk's disposal. One of the biggest reveals for the first real arc of the final saga of the series was the fact that Luffy and the others landed on the island where Dr. Vegapunk had been working on their various experiments. But following teasing the scientist's full appearance in the series after so many years, series creator Eiichiro Oda added a ton of twists to fully bringing the character into the events in full.  

Not only was it revealed that the Dr. Vegapunk we met at the start of the Egghead arc was not exactly the "real" one, but it was revealed that they were actually one of six Vegapunk clones now working on the island. It turns out that the scientist is so busy with everything they have been doing, that they split themselves up into a roster that performs different functions overall. And with the newest chapter of the series, fans got to see the final members of the line up.

Who Are the Dr. Vegapunks? 

Chapter 1065 of One Piece reveals the final four "satellite" Dr. Vegapunks that were teased before. Joining the previously revealed Punk-02 Lillith the Evil and Punk-05 Atlas the Violence are the final four additions, Punk-01 Shaka the Good, Punk-03 Edison the Thinking, Punk-04 Pythagoras the Wisdom, and Punk-06 York the Greed. Each one serves a specific function across the island to help Vegapunk overall continue their work as efficiently as possible.

With the four new additions, fans can see how they factor into the overall picture. Shaka seems to be the leader in terms of them all, while Edison and Pythagoras are doing the actual experiments. York's role seems to be the wildest as they were crafted to eat a ton of food and dispose of it in order to keep the other five from feeling hunger or needing to interrupt their works for regular bodily functions. Now it's just a matter of seeing whether or not they can actually trust these Vegapunk satellites.
