Vegapunk/Pythagoras

Pythagoras, also designated as Punk-04, is one of the six satellites of Dr. Vegapunk, embodying his aspect of "wisdom".

Appearance


Pythagoras is a large mechanical being. His head is a sphere with a turn key protruding from the top and a space in the front containing the eyes; the head can detach from the main body and move independently with a set of retractable arms and legs. Pythagoras' main body is metallic, with the top part being dark-colored and the bottom light-colored. Its designation Punk-04 is printed on its left breast and the kanji for "wisdom" (知) is printed on the center of its chest. Its arms, hands, and legs are composed of bendable metal rods.

Personality
Being Vegapunk's "wisdom" satellite, Pythagoras has shown to be calm and highly interested in observing the performances of Vegapunk's inventions. It is devoted to recording data from these tests and examining the potential scientific implications, and can grow very excited when situations arise that provide exceptional data.

Abilities and Powers
Being a satellite of Vegapunk, Pythagoras has been a contributor to the genius scientist’s numerous technological developments. Pythagoras is extremely intelligent, being capable of drawing a large number of theories and conclusions just by witnessing Vegapunk's inventions in action; when observing one of the Seraphim in combat, Pythagoras quickly made observations regarding potential Lineage Factor traits. It also seems to be part of his duties to compile and analyse data.

Egghead Arc
When some of the Straw Hat Pirates entered Vegapunk's laboratory, they were attacked by the Seraphim S-Shark and Pythagoras watched S-Shark's performance, constantly analyzing and evaluating the Seraphim's performance as well as the battle progress, alongside Lilith and Edison before Shaka arrived to stop it.

CP0 request permission to dock at Egghead, and Pythagoras promptly goes to Shaka, fearing that the World Government agents will find out about the pirates on their island and will be unhappy. Lilith offers to simply hand over the pirates, but Shaka orders the agents to be denied landing and prepare for battle, because the government agents will not simply accept the refusal.
