The Brain of a Genius - Six Vegapunks!

A duplicate of Jinbe falls upon the party fighting beside Sanji, and only then does the crew grasp that Lilith has steered them into a snare. Their opponent is a Seraphim called S-Shark, a hybrid weapon that knows Fish-Man Karate, channels laser fire through its palm in Pacifista fashion, and on top of that wields the Sui Sui no Mi's powers. Robin reaches for her bloom-summoning hands, Usopp readies his Pop Greens, and Sanji ignites his Diable Jambe, yet not one of those three assaults so much as scratches the creature.

The reason becomes clear away from the battlefield: Lilith is steering S-Shark from a hidden control room, and she is not alone. Two further satellites sit beside her, namely Edison, who personifies thought, and Pythagoras, who stands in for wisdom.

Inside the control room, Edison pilots the Seraphim through an experiment intended to push it toward further growth. Wanting to record fresh blueprints, he passes the controls to Pythagoras. Hunger then strikes Edison, Pythagoras, and Atlas alike, so they delegate eating to York, the satellite who embodies greed. She wolfs down a vast spread, relieves herself in a nearby washroom, and goes back to sleep, leaving the rest sated. With that appetite handled, Pythagoras hijacks the footwear of the Straw Hats, sliding them directly under the Seraphim's laser beam and pinning them there. Overriding the objections of Lilith, Edison, and Pythagoras, Shaka judges that he has collected what data he needs, walks onto the field, and commands the Seraphim to pull back.

Safe at last, the crew converse with Shaka, who reveals he is yet another Vegapunk. He overturns the island's billing: though Egghead is sold as a place of the future, it actually mirrors the past, since a comparable island existed some nine centuries earlier. Elsewhere, Luffy travels with Jinbe, Chopper, and Bonney through the Fabiriophase scrapyard, where they discover a colossal robot lying dormant and forgotten. Jinbe remarks that the thing looks aged despite plainly requiring engineering far ahead of its apparent era. The episode introduces Edison, Pythagoras, Joshu, York, and the Iron Giant, and debuts Atlas's Digestion Punch.
