Highlights
The battle on Egghead Island in One Piece is a complex conflict with multiple parties involved, each with their own agenda.
The Pacifista are humanoid cyborg weapons developed by Vegapunk, with various types available, including replicas of Bartholomew Kuma.
Gaining control over the Pacifista and Seraphim is a vital factor in the conflict, as whoever successfully dominates them holds significant influence over the outcome of the Egghead Incident.
The battle on Egghead Island in One Piece has experienced numerous shifts in dynamics, evolving into an intense conflict where each party has their own agenda and will stop at nothing to achieve it. While the Marines strive to stop the Straw Hat Pirates, led by Rob Lucci, Admiral Kizaru, and Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, Luffy and his crew are determined to escape with Dr. Vegapunk and his satellites, who are being targeted by the World Government.
Amidst all of this chaos, there is an ongoing struggle to gain control over the Pacifista and the Seraphim - advanced human weapons with Devil Fruit abilities and other features, created by Vegapunk. Initially, Kizaru was able to command them after defeating Sentomaru and reaching the island. However, Vegapunk and his clones managed to regain control once they arrived from the Labophase in Egghead's multi-tiered structure. The arrival of one of the Five Elders has further complicated the situation. Whoever succeeds in resolving this internal battle may emerge as the victorious party in the Egghead Incident of One Piece.
What Are The Different Types Of Pacifista?
Vegapunk has created multiple versions of the Pacifista since his initial attempt to transform Bartholomew Kuma into a cyborg for the World Government. This project reached its peak when Kuma's personality was completely erased, resulting in the creation of PX-0, the first model in the series, which lacks any thoughts or emotions. All subsequent Pacifistas, except for the Seraphim, are identical cyborg clones of Kuma, even down to their clothing, which is a replica of Kuma's attire.
The only visible distinction between Kuma's original body and his clones is the absence of the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi pads on his arms, which are unique to Kuma's Devil Fruit abilities. Additionally, the Pacifistas possess Kuma's voice but rarely speak, except when using their electronic scopes to identify and target pirates. Although they appeared almost unbeatable in their first encounter before the timeskip, most of the Straw Hat Pirates have managed to overcome the power difference in the years that followed.
Pacifistas primarily use lasers from their palms and mouth in battle, which are based on Admiral Kizaru's Pika Pika no Mi abilities. Sentomaru mentioned that the Pacifistas encountered by the Straw Hat Pirates on the Sabaody Archipelago were just prototypes after the two-year time skip following the Summit War of Marineford. On Egghead, two new types of Pacifistas were introduced: the Mark III and the Seraphim.
The Mark III Pacifistas have slightly different clothing compared to the previous versions. They can also utilize a resin derived from Yarukiman Mangroves' secretions on the Sabaody Archipelago to create bubbles that can absorb attacks or ensnare enemies. On the other hand, the Seraphim are cybernetic clones of the original Seven Warlords of the Sea from the beginning of One Piece's story. They have enhanced durability due to Lunarian DNA and possess unique Devil Fruit powers through Green Blood, a substance resulting from Vegapunk's research into replicating Paramecia abilities on Egghead.
The Pacifista's Command Hierarchy
Each model of the Pacifista, including the Seraphim and even Kuma himself, lacks individual will and obediently serves the World Government. In the event of an attack by a person associated with the World Government, they remain passive and refrain from defending themselves unless given orders to do so. While they possess the ability to detect and target pirates, their actions may be overridden by someone with sufficient authority. The issuance of commands to the Pacifista unit follows a strict hierarchy of command that applies to all models, including the Seraphim.
The authority chip holders, such as high-ranking Marines like Admiral Kizaru or Cipher Pol agents like Rob Lucci and Kaku, occupy the lowest level of this hierarchy. Above them is Sentomaru, followed by Vegapunk and his satellites. The highest level of authority rests with the Five Elders, whose orders supersede those given by anyone below them. This hierarchy plays a crucial role in the circumstances surrounding the conflict on Egghead Island, which has been further complicated by the arrival of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn.
Turning The Tide Of The Battle
When Egghead initially came under attack, Sentomaru successfully defended it using the Mark III Pacifista and Weaponized Sea Beasts. The situation changed when Kizaru arrived and incapacitated Sentomaru, allowing him to regain control of the Pacifista. However, Vegapunk and his satellite Atlas intervened, overriding Kizaru's orders and commanding the Pacifista to attack the Marines instead of the Straw Hat Pirates.
This shift in the battle gave the Straw Hat Pirates an advantage, as the Marines and Kizaru were now occupied with the Pacifista and Seraphim, allowing the pirates to escape. Earlier, the Straw Hat Pirates had struggled to fight the Seraphim directly, even with Rob Lucci and Kaku on their side. Therefore, it would be difficult for the Marine Vice Admirals to deal with the Seraphim in time to prevent the Straw Hat Pirates' escape. While Vegapunk's authority over the Pacifista and Seraphim remains unchallenged due to his high ranking, this may not last for long.
Unfortunately, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn's arrival on Egghead completely disrupts the existing order, as he outranks Vegapunk in the command hierarchy and can regain control over the Pacifista. If he were successful, there would be no one with the authority to counter his directives unless he is killed or incapacitated. Given their significant numerical disadvantage, the Straw Hat Pirates must find a way to maintain control over the Pacifista, as they are the only deterrent against other Marine battalions. This makes them a crucial factor in determining the outcome of the Egghead Incident. One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
