Why Did Vegapunk Conceal the World Government’s Possession of Ancient Weapons? Even Though He Was Prepared for Death, Was There a Need to Hide It?
In ONE PIECE Chapter 1123, it appears that Vegapunk had realized, through York’s betrayal and the disappearance of the Lulusia Kingdom, that the World Government possessed Ancient Weapons. But why did he choose to conceal this information?
Let’s dive into the possible reasons!
Was It Due to His Nature as a Scientist?
In ONE PIECE Chapter 1123, we see that York betrayed Vegapunk by revealing to the FIVE ELDERS that he was researching the Void Century and sending the Mother Flame to them.
Vegapunk then connected these facts with the disappearance of the Lulusia Kingdom and became certain that the World Government possessed Ancient Weapons.
However, Vegapunk had no concrete evidence, so it remained a hypothesis or an intuition at best. Yet, when Vegapunk recorded his message about the threat of Ancient Weapons, he was already prepared for his inevitable death.
He seemed to have accepted his impending death, so one might think that, even if it was just a hunch or a hypothesis, he could have presented his thoughts as a “possibility.”
In his video message, Vegapunk didn’t explicitly say who possessed or used the Ancient Weapons, giving the impression that he intentionally avoided saying so. This raises the question of why he chose to hide it…
One possible reason could be his nature as a scientist.
Scientists certainly rely on intuition and inspiration, but logical thinking is probably even more essential. Scientific theories are built on logical thinking, which requires that any intuition or inspiration be explainable through clear reasoning.
Without evidence, logic and theory hold no weight, making it impossible to provide a convincing argument.
Vegapunk likely had this mindset and couldn’t present the idea of the World Government possessing Ancient Weapons without concrete proof, as it would not only fail to convince others but also himself.
Even if Vegapunk was 99% sure in his mind, given the gravity of the situation, he might have decided that it wasn’t something to discuss unless he was 100% certain.
However, considering that he was prepared for death and clearly aimed to deal a blow to the World Government, as I mentioned earlier, it seems like he could have mentioned it as a “possibility.”
