Vegapunk/York

York, also designated as Punk-06, is one of the six satellites of Dr. Vegapunk, embodying his aspect of "greed".

She acted as an ally to the Straw Hat Pirates at first, but was later revealed to be a traitor and the main antagonist of the Egghead Arc as well as being the culprit of the events during the Egghead Arc.

Appearance
York is a young-looking woman of incredible size, standing twice the height of Brook. She has long and wavy light hair and patches of freckles under her eyes. She wears a dark top cut off just below her breasts with her designation Punk-06 written on the front. She also wears a light-colored jacket over her top, a pair of bikini bottoms, dark gloves, large dark boots that go up past her knees, and a pair of goggles on her forehead.

When she eats a lot, she becomes immensely obese, but can instantly return to her original figure after going to the bathroom.

Personality
Being designated the “greed” satellite of Vegapunk, York is a very gluttonous and lazy individual. Her primary task seems to be to eat, sleep, and relieve herself for the other satellites so they can perform their own duties unimpeded. She seems to have a vapid personality with her head in the clouds, rarely speaking except to yawn or remark about sleeping or eating, but wantonly approached a dangerous Seraphim because she found it cute.

In truth however, York is highly selfish and possesses lofty ambitions, willing to betray her fellow Vegapunks solely for the chance to become a World Noble. She also believes that only one Vegapunk is necessary in the world and is not against eliminating her peers if needed.

Abilities and Powers
Being a satellite of Vegapunk, York has likely been a contributor to the genius scientist’s numerous technological developments. She is responsible for eating, sleeping and defacating on behalf of all the other satellites. As such, she consumes large quantities of food to the degree of attaining a BMI of 600 (20 times the amount considered obese), expels the waste, and sleeps for their sakes, doing so multiple times per day, but this does not seem to negatively affect her body.

In spite of her rather passive role, York is very cunning and manipulative, having orchestrated most of the incidents that have happened during the Egghead Arc without ever arising suspicion to herself or being detected. This includes prior, leading events such as contacting the Five Elders about Vegapunk's history research or kidnapping several Cipher Pol agents multiple times.

York is also a skilled gunwoman, having fatally shot Shaka in the head with a simple, ordinary pistol (albeit a very large one, befitting her size) and from a considerable range.

Past
In the past, York had ventured into Mary Geoise alongside the Vegapunk satellites, where they witnessed the cruelty of the World Nobles. Whereas the other Vegapunks looked down on the Nobles' actions as despicable, York desired to become one of them.

Three months before the events of the Egghead Arc, York contacted the Five Elders and leaked information that Vegapunk was conducting forbidden research on the Void Century. While dispatched Cipher Pol agents never found evidence of illegal research, York used the opportunity to abduct said agents before they could leave Egghead and report their findings, keeping them locked underground in the old laboratory. This served to increase the World Government's suspicion that Vegapunk was indeed rebelling against them.

Egghead Arc
As Edison and Pythagoras were working and needed to attend to bodily functions, York ate, went to the bathroom, and slept on their behalf, allowing them to keep working without a break.

Summoned with the rest of the satellites (except Atlas), York continued eating while wondering if something fun would happen, but she promptly fell asleep.



After CP0's and the Seraphim's attacks on the lab were quelled, York awoke and joined in the search for Stella, who had disappeared. Alongside Lilith, Usopp, and Franky, York went to the third floor of Building C, where they found Pythagoras had been attacked. Before Pythagoras could tell them that S-Snake was the attacker, York approached the Seraphim and was distracted by her cuteness. S-Snake then petrified York and kicked her aside before attacking the rest of the group.



Shortly afterwards, York was unpetrified and secretly followed Shaka to Vegapunk's prison. She shot Shaka in the head as he tried to free Vegapunk, and revealed herself as the traitor to the latter while proclaiming that she would be the sole Vegapunk from now on.

Trivia

 * York could have been named after the Cape York meteorite, a large iron meteorite that landed on Greenland in ancient times. This would include her within the celestial body name theming of the SSG.
