Recently, I remembered this page, and then thought about Vegapunk's cloning.
Obviously, Vegapunk turning the Straw Hats into Satellites or Seraphim would take too long considering the current timeframe of the series. The Final War is coming.
But... Vegapunk is capable of just cloning people 1:1. Look at Stussy, that was 36 years ago.
God, Stussy is so cute/awesome, just look at her, STUSSY-SAMA, LET ME AND SANJI BE YOUR KENNEL CLUB
Imu talking over a girl who left pants and honor behind does nothing to me. STUSSY SUPREMACY, THIS IS OUR WINGED QUEEN
Ahem
Vegapunk has "surpassed" death via his Brain: even after the other Vegapunks died, Lilith could talk to them via Punk Records.
So, I think EOS Vegapunk will end up cloning the Straw Hats... and then connecting them to Punk Records, so they can communicate, and "surpass" death. This way, any Sanji or Zoro satellites that are killed (possibly by each other) will end up retaining their "lives" via the Punk Records.
So, even if the Clones die, their Will will carry on in the OG Straw Hats.
It's kind of like Twice from My Hero, but different.
We can see a whole army of Zoro's fight a whole army of Sanji's
If the crew gets hungry, there's a whole army of Emergency Food Supply Chopper.
On the first day of Vega-Christmas my true Punk gave to me
1000 Flashing Nipple Light Frankyyyyyyyyyyyyys
Imagine a 1000 Brooks on Zunesha? Bone Buffet, they gonna go Bone Wild, YOHOHOHOHO (run Brook, run)
IMO even the Fake Straw Hats are low-key foreshadowing this.
How do the Straw Hats fight enemies that can regenerate/turn allies into enemies? Clone your allies and outnumber them.
Stussy showed us the true path: defeat the WG with OVER 9000 MONKEY D LUFFY'S
Thank you, Stussy-sama
This also lets Oda draw the Straw Hats actually fucking dying, getting dismembered, etc.
Cl-One Piece, OHHHHHHHHH, CLONE PIECE
Clone... Clown... Clown Piece
I'd like to order 1000 Buggy the Star Clowns, Dr. Vegapunk...
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, IT COSTS 945,141,535,063 BERRIES TO MAKE 1000 BUGGY'S, VEGAPUNK??? Oh well, HE'S WORTH IT
The Crew of Dreams
The Thousand Buggy
