Yeah 100% agree. Oda just had to force his goofiness onto everything as usual and give us this abysmal design and abolishment of his hype/known character.
Imagine if Shaka was the actual Vegapunk.
I remember when we used to think he was the real deal. Vegapunk 1, making calls with Dragon, etc.
His body structure even somewhat looks like the silhouette we saw from Kuma's flashback.
Would've been amazing.
But Oda has to insert goofiness into everything, fail. So we got a clown for Vegapunk.
I kinda don't mind the explanation that DF are from dreams, that parallels haki being from willpower/soul.
But Vegapunk honestly was the worst guy to give that goofy and vague explanation, especially since he recreated a mythical zoan DF which certainly wasn't from his dream lol.
