Honestly, it sounds less like a traitorpunk and more like a traitorpacifista/seraphim. The government weapons lines are way more like robots who have hard programing limits, while all the Punk lines are way more on the fully realized AI android line who have nearly as much autonomy as a normal person. I mean, so far all the seraphim units have been based on the not evil Warlords, but there's nothing saying some idiot didn't authorize the creation of a unit based on one of the less cooperative Warlords. Some maniac made a S-Doflamingo, didn't they?

S-Shark was in chamber number four and we've seen chambers for five and six, so presumably there are a couple more. They might still be in development though - I think there was some comment alluding to S-Shark still being fairly new. Perhaps chamber six contains the angriest, most demanding and awful hell-baby to ever exist. Wearing outrageous shades and a pink feather boa. Realistically though I doubt Vegapunk was allowed to clone a Celestial Dragon, even a disgraced former one. To address your main point, it's certainly likely there's something more going on with the Seraphim, but Oda really seems to want to limit the suspects to the Vegapunks so I'm going along with that for now. I think Seraphim autonomy is more likely to be part of this arc's resolution or epilogue.

Would S-Lizard be completely worthless without an army of stolen shadows? Would there have been enough time for the development of an S-Tiger or the terrifying S-Bug, or are the seraphim grown in real time, leaving those two toddlers at best? Is this where Boney comes in?

Yes. It'd be S-Gecko, and yes probably, unless they were given a different devil fruit. Doubt there'd be Law or Weevil seraphim, especially if Weevil is genetically engineered already (as many people suspect). That said, it's confirmed seraphim go through an accelerated growth process. Bonney's age manipulation is only temporary. Edit: gently caress, Moira's devil fruit power being in play could help explain why the traitor wanted to keep a bunch of people alive but locked up for weeks/months... jassa fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Feb 27, 2023 |

S-Croc wouldn't be as terrifying as Crocodile since they still haven't copied Logia powers.

it's actually S-Bat, since gekko means moonlight and the animal name part is gek[ko mori]a - komori is bat, to go along with his entire dracula thing

They made a Seraphim Garp and he just told Vegapunk to gently caress off and went to steal crackers from Sengoku.

Mraagvpeine posted:Say, why just the Warlords? Why not clone Marines? My thought is that the process of cloning people/reproducing their devil fruit powers requires submitting to experimentation that is not pleasant - perhaps Vegapunk was only (interested/allowed?) to do it on captured criminals. This might be why he was specifically so interested in gaining Luffy's aid - he might be one of the only big time pirates that he hasn't already personally made an enemy of.

My wild guess: Pythagoras is the traitor and he bypassed the brain upload by uploading the data logs from his body and not his head, which is his true form. He ordered S-Snake to destroy the body to get rid of the evidence and make himself appear to be a victim. I base this on nothing concrete.

Blackbeard is a Seraphim failed experiment by Vegapunk, which is why he can have two Devil Fruits.

Mraagvpeine posted:Say, why just the Warlords? Why not clone Marines? Because it's a WG program that was designed to replace the Warlord system. Vegapunk is essentially just a military contractor, and the people coming up with the ideas for the program are locked into a propaganda rather than imaginative mindset.

Here's a video that's got everything known about the Live Action so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f_peZS_jxo Hell of a Zoro joke, and I can't wait for Netflix to make the news for canceling the most expensive show they've ever made after 1 season.
