Vegapunk/Shaka

Shaka, also designated as Punk-01, is one of the six satellites of Dr. Vegapunk, embodying his aspect of "good".

Appearance
Very little of Shaka has been shown so far. They appear to wear a futuristic metal helmet over their head, and has an earpiece and antenna on their left ear which enables communication with the other Vegapunk satellites.

Personality
Being designated the "good" satellite of Vegapunk, Shaka is extremely thoughtful. During Lilith’s confrontation with the Straw Hat Pirates, Shaka was shown to be extremely observant of the crew’s mannerisms and abilities, and quickly conveyed to Lilith that she had blundered. Shaka does not approve of Lilith looting and pillaging from others, saying such actions are detrimental to a scientist’s pride.

Abilities and Powers
Being a satellite of Vegapunk, Shaka has likely been a contributor to the genius scientist’s numerous technological developments. Shaka appears to be able to share senses with other satellites, allowing them to know what was going on with Lilith while she was out at sea.

Shaka’s analytical skills are a boon in combat situations, as they were able to prevent Lilith from foolishly attacking the Straw Hats by quickly pointing out the crew’s capabilities and strategic mindset.

Egghead Arc
When Lilith went out to the nearby sea to attack and pillage the Straw Hat Pirates, Shaka called her to question her actions. Shaka stated that Lilith had blundered when confronting the Emperor's crew, as the pirates were capable of instantly attacking her and thus had the advantage despite Lilith surrounding them with weaponized Sea Beasts. Shaka then told Lilith to bring the Straw Hats to them, expressing an interest in the crew.

Trivia
