User blog comment:Kaido King of the Beasts/Vegapunk: Friend or Foe?/@comment-4754162-20150715064238

I picture Vegapunk as someone who does not care whom he works for, as long as the person presents something interesting for him to work with.

Neither good or bad, just that currently WG has this interesting thing for him to work with (Pacifista project, modification of Kuma). Once this project is done for, if someone else (from any faction) comes up with an interesting project / experiment / research, he may just work for that. In short, I think he is all into the science of things, disregarding which side he is on.

On a sidenote: I have this idea that Vegapunk managed to extract DF abilities from its user (just some or selected abilities only, not taking the whole DF power off the user) and encased it into a storage of sort like a canister or pill form.

So Bonney was captured because WG wanted Vegapunk to extract some of her powers and encapsulated it in pill form. So later during the final showdown, those 5 old gorosei will take those pills and gain prime youth form to battle
