This hasnt crossed my mind but this arc could be vegapunks debut. i mean only a scientist would need test subjects and maybe the shichibukai is a body guard ( probably got paid by the government or an old enemy who heard of luffys revival and took the chance to get close to Fish man island and search for Luffy while checking in on vegapunk every now and then ). I mean Vegapunk is the only scientist to able to get shichibukai protection. At first the islands name invoked thoughts of Vegapunk but as more chapters are released it is becoming more and more clear.
