Technology is a machine, piece of equipment, method, etc. that is created by the practical application of scientific knowledge.^[1]

The Great Kingdom—which existed 900 years in the past—is said to have had technology far more advanced than the modern era.^[2]

Wind Knot

The Wind Knot (風の結び目, Kaze no Musubime^?) is a rope with wind-creating properties that is tied three times: Untying one knot results in a light breeze, untying a second knot brings a strong wind, and untying the last knot summons a squall.^[3] In the anime, Nami uses this rope in conjunction with her Perfect Clima-Tact to perform a technique that dispels an oncoming cyclone.^[4]

Self-Destruct Switches

A self-destruct switch (自己破壊スイッチ, jiko hakai suitchi^?) is a mechanism that can cause an object to destroy itself or render itself inoperable after a predefined set of circumstances has occurred.

A switch was left in Vegapunk's old laboratory on Karakuri Island that went off when Franky caused the Nightmare of Baldimore^[5] with another one undisturbed in what remains.^[6] The Research Institutes on Punk Hazard also had self-destruct switches. Caesar Clown used them to destroy two of the Research Institutes,^[7] and years later, Monet planned to activate the switch in the Third Research Institute^[8] but was killed before she could press the button.^[9]

Before Kuma had undergone the final surgery to purge his freewill, Jaygarcia Saturn ordered Vegapunk to install a self-destruct switch in case Kuma was out of control;^[10] however, due to Vegapunk not wanting Kuma to be used as a weapon, he decided to implement it by the letter and made it a total shutdown switch. It was eventually used by Saturn after Kuma was rescued by the Revolutionary Army.^[11]

Myskina Acier used a switch to destroy his research at Alchemi to stop Mad Treasure getting the Pure Gold.^[12]

Face Pack

A face pack is a creamy or thick pasted mask applied to the face for cleansing or skin-smoothing purposes.

The Germa Kingdom made a pack that stops swelling but does not heal the face^[13] with the swelling coming back once removed.^[14]

Fluffy Balloon System

The Fluffy Balloon System (ふわふわ風船システム, Fuwafuwa Fūsen Shisutemu^?) is a device which allows Charlotte Flampe to float in the air like an actual balloon. The device was obtained when Big Mom was destroying other countries.^[15]

Printing Press

A printing press (印刷機, insatsu-ki^?) is a mechanical device for applying pressure to an inked surface resting upon a print medium (such as paper or cloth), thereby transferring the ink.

Printing presses are used to print newspapers and wanted posters.^[16]

Vegapunk's Scientific Achievements

The following is a list of the research projects done under the name Vegapunk.

Vegapunk's Achievements
Name	Image	Description	Creator
Biology and Geology
Seastone ship hull		Utilizing Seastone on ships to ward off Sea Kings, enabling passage through infested areas such as the Calm Belt.[17][18]	Vegapunk
Island-wide climate control		This was first attempted on Karakuri Island with a large geothermal heating system, but it was never completed and later destroyed by Franky.[19] It was later accomplished successfully on Egghead; Vegapunk intends on developing it further to potentially achieve weather control.[20]	Vegapunk
Cloud Plant		Normally, these clouds cannot exist at Blue Sea level, however on Egghead, Vegapunk developed an island-wide air conditioning system that controls and regulates Egghead's climate and modifies the density of pyrobloin and moisture in the condensation nuclei, thus re-creating sea clouds and island clouds from the sky islands.[21]	Vegapunk
Lineage Factor Research		Discovering the existence of the Lineage Factor (along with Vinsmoke Judge) and successfully manipulating it for biological experiments.[22]	Vegapunk
Cloning Research		With the study of the Lineage Factor came the knowledge of Cloning.[22] Vegapunk has used his cloning research for a number of projects, including the Pacifista and Seraphim, creating mindless, emotionless living weapons in the process.[23]	Vegapunk
Artificial lifeform creation		He has used it to successfully create at least two artificial lifeforms: Dragon Number Thirteen and Dragon Number Twenty-One.[24]}[25]	Vegapunk
Gigantification Research		He has attempted to use it to turn people into giants but has been unsuccessful so far.	Vegapunk
GP Flowers (GPフラワー, Jī-Pī Furawā?)		Flowers that bloom out of gunpowder. This achievement earned him the Ibel Peace Prize (イベル平和賞, Iberu Heiwa Shō?, English versions: "Mobel Peace Prize").[26] These flowers were later utilized as ammunition for rifles and other weapons, as seen when SWORD member Hibari used a sniper filled with GP Flower bullets.[27]	Vegapunk
Synthetic Diamonds (人工ダイヤ, Jinkō Daiya?)		Artificial diamonds created for industrial purposes.[28]	Unknown
Organoid (人工臓器（オルガノイド）, Oruganoido?)		Lab-grown organs, meant to be for the future of medicine.[28]	Unknown
Devil Fruits Research
Creating living weapons		Enabling inanimate objects to "eat" fruits and gain their powers.[29]	Vegapunk
Replicating Devil Fruit powers		Artificially replicate Devil Fruit powers for other weapons (namely, developing lasers by researching the mechanics of the Pika Pika no Mi).[30]	Vegapunk
The science of Devil Fruits		He discovered that Devil Fruits alter the Lineage Factors of their consumers,[29][31] and utilized Kaidou's Lineage Factor to create an artificial replica of the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu. It was labeled a failure,[32] solely due the incorrect coloration of Momonosuke's Dragon form,[33] and so its consumer has managed to manifest many of the same abilities.	Vegapunk
Green Blood		A substance created from the Lineage Factor of Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users, in order to replicate those fruits' abilities.	Vegapunk
Weaponry
Vegaforce-01		Created and pilots an enormous mecha called the Vegaforce-01.[34]	Lilith
Cyborg modifications		Modifying numerous people and animals into cyborgs, including creatures as powerful as Sea Beasts, and developing methods to repress free will and turn those modified into unthinking servants.[35]	Vegapunk
Pacifista Project		Creating the Pacifista, dozens of extremely powerful modified clones of Bartholomew Kuma, as well as Kuma himself, with advanced weaponry built into their bodies.	Vegapunk
Seraphim Project		Creating Pacifista units known as the Seraphim, with lunarian traits and to resemblance the Warlords in their youth.[36]	Vegapunk[37] and Satellites[38]
Sea Beast Weapons		Weaponizing Sea Beasts and marine lifeforms. This project has been running into issues with the cyborgs' primal instincts overriding their programming.[34]	Lilith
Beam Saber (ビームサーベル, Bīmu Sāberu?)		A device capable of emitting a beam of light that acts as a blade. One is discovered in a junkyard and picked up Jewelry Bonney.[39] It was described as a failure by Vegapunk, and the light has the negative side effect of emitting such a bright light to attract countless insects.[40]	Unknown
Bubble Gun (バブルガン, Baburu Gan?)[41]		A pistol that shoots giant bubbles. The bubbles are made of sea energy and thus weaken any Devil Fruit user who touches or are encased by them. They also do not pop as easily as regular bubbles. A rifle variant is also possessed by Lilith.	Lilith
Mother Flame		An alternate energy source created by Vegapunk, which Imu and the Five Elders used to empower an Ancient Weapon to wipe out Lulusia Kingdom.	Vegapunk
Vegatank-08		A spherical vehicle used to travel on Egghead. The wheels are made of Island Clouds, so it can drive up and down vertical surfaces without falling, and the cockpit is a selectively-permeable resin bubble that can be entered and exited with sufficient force.	Unknown
