One Piece: Unveiling the Power of the Mark 3 Pacifista - Surprising Secrets Revealed!

Content:

Currently in the Egghead Island arc, One Piece focuses on the character of Vegapunk, a genius navy scientist whom fans have eagerly anticipated for years. As soon as fans learned about Dr. Vegapunk's involvement in this arc, it became evident that Egghead Island would showcase numerous extraordinary inventions. Among these, fans were introduced to the Mark 3 Pacifista, a cyborg that surpassed the familiarity they had with previous Pacifistas in One Piece.

The Pacifista Project

The Pacifista Project was initiated prior to the start of Luffy's journey. At that time, the warlord system, which fans are aware of, had already been established, with Bartholomew Kuma being a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Despite his dislike for the World Government, Kuma voluntarily sacrificed his freedom and became a participant in the Pacifista Project. Dr. Vegapunk, the project's leader, gradually transformed Kuma into a cyborg, beginning with his hands and then progressing to his legs and the rest of his body. While the exact reasons behind Kuma's decision to volunteer for this project remain unknown, it is highly probable that his motivation stemmed from protecting his daughter. It is likely that Kuma's own tumultuous childhood, marked by being pursued due to his secret bloodline, compelled him to prevent his daughter from facing a similar fate. Despite the changing nature of his being, Kuma maintained his original identity until Vegapunk altered his brain, an event that occurred shortly before the Paramount War.

During his battle with Bartholomew Kuma, Zoro noticed that Kuma seemed to still possess some semblance of his original personality. However, when Ivankov faced off against Kuma during the Paramount War, it became clear that Kuma had become an entirely different person and no longer recognized his former acquaintance. Doflamingo then revealed that the Pacifista Project, a collaboration between Kuma and Vegapunk, had recently reached completion, thus transforming Kuma into someone unrecognizable to Ivankov. This demonstrated how the Pacifista Project not only stripped Kuma of his humanity, but also eroded his unique personality.

The reason behind Kuma's sacrifice for this project will likely be explored in the upcoming Egghead Island arc. Fans can anticipate more insight into the significance of Kuma's involvement in this arc and expect to find answers as the story progresses.

The Upgrades Made On The Pacifista

The Pacifistas became an immense source of power for the World Government. Throughout the project, the World Government deployed the Pacifistas to different parts of the world whenever there was a need to suppress piracy and maintain order. This was demonstrated on multiple occasions. For instance, when the Super Rookies arrived on Sabaody Archipelago, the Pacifistas were dispatched. Even in the New World, word of the Pacifistas and Dr. Vegapunk's work on them had spread among pirates. During the Paramount War, which was the largest conflict at that point in the story, the formidable Pacifistas were utilized. They posed a significant challenge for even the strongest pirates in the New World, who had to rely on Boa Hancock to effortlessly subdue them all on her own.

While the Pacifistas were formidable at the time, it became evident that they were not the final iteration of this invention. Vegapunk continued to refine and improve the Pacifistas over time. After the timeskip, fans were able to witness an upgraded version of the Pacifista when Luffy returned to Sabaody Archipelago. Although they bore a resemblance to the previous models, they were undeniably stronger. However, Luffy managed to defeat one with a single punch, while Zoro and Sanji teamed up to overcome another. The Pacifistas continued to evolve and underwent several upgrades. On Egghead Island, Vegapunk continued his work on them, incorporating intriguing abilities into their bodies, such as the resin from the Yarukiman Mangrove. Eventually, this led to the creation of what fans now recognize as the Mark 3 Pacifista.

Mark 3 Pacifista

The fans finally got introduced to the Mark 3 Pacifistas during the Egghead Island arc. These upgraded versions were tirelessly developed by Vegapunk even after the Paramount War. Like their predecessors, the Mark 3 Pacifistas were created using the body of former Warlord of the Sea, Bartholomew Kuma. However, their attire differed significantly. While the original Pacifistas wore attire similar to Kuma's, the Mark 3 Pacifistas sported bulkier outfits.

Yet, what truly sets the Mark 3 Pacifistas apart from their predecessors is not their clothing but their immense strength. They possess the capability to hold their own against New World pirates and can overpower formidable fighters. Additionally, they possess unique abilities, such as the power to generate resin from their hands, which forms an impenetrable shield. This resin has demonstrated astonishing durability, successfully stopping a point-blank bazooka attack. Furthermore, the inherent power of the Pacifistas likely surpasses that of previous iterations.

There are currently 50 Mark 3 Pacifista on Egghead Island under the control of Sentomaru, as confirmed. However, in the Pacifista hierarchy, the Five Elders hold the highest authority, followed by Dr. Vegapunk, Sentomaru, and whoever possesses the control chip.

In the upcoming Egghead Island arc, the Mark 3 Pacifista will play a crucial role. They will actively participate in the Egghead Incident, which is less than a day away. All 50 Mark 3 Pacifista will fight alongside the Straw Hat Pirates and Vegapunk against the World Government and the Navy. However, the tide of the battle remains unpredictable due to one of the Five Elders, Jaygarcia Saturn, being aligned with the Navy. As the Five Elders possess the highest level of control over the Pacifista, both the Seraphim and the Mark 3 Pacifista could potentially turn against the Straw Hat Pirates.
