User blog comment:Torquil/Vegapunk and SH crew the question/@comment-208.124.75.88-20130225172402

Vegapunk's crazy old and virtually everyone on the crew is young and some prodigy of an older character. Like Franky with Tom, Luffy with Shanks, Zoro with Mihawk, etc... I think it'd be more likely for an apprentice of Vegapunk's to aid (and possibly join) the crew.
