Vegapunk/York

York, also designated as Punk-06, stands as one of the six satellites under the domain of Dr. Vegapunk, representing his embodiment of "greed." Initially an ally to the Straw Hat Pirates, York's true colors were unveiled later on, revealing her to be a double-crosser and a significant adversary during the Egghead Arc. In fact, she was the mastermind behind the Egghead Incident, orchestrating various events throughout the arc. York's appearance is that of a youthful-looking woman, incredibly tall, towering even above Brook. Her blonde hair cascades in long, wavy strands, and she sports freckles beneath her eyes. With an expansive mouth and rosy, plump cheeks, she dons a dark top displaying her designation, Punk-06. Over the top, she wears a light-hued jacket, bikini bottoms, dark gloves, large boots reaching beyond her knees, and goggles perched on her forehead. York's propensity to consume copious amounts of food transforms her into an immensely overweight state, a condition she effortlessly reverts from after utilizing the restroom. Given her satellite status under Vegapunk, she likely contributed to the genius scientist's technological advancements. She takes on the roles of eating, sleeping, and excreting on behalf of her fellow satellites. York's responsibility involves ingesting vast quantities of food to attain a BMI reaching 600, purging the waste, and partaking in multiple daily slumbers. Remarkably, these tasks don't appear to detrimentally affect her physique.
York
Beneath her scientific facade, York possesses exceptional cunning, deception, manipulation skills, and a remarkable talent for staying incognito. She masterminded the majority of the occurrences in the Egghead Arc without rousing suspicion from Vegapunk or the other satellites. Her machinations encompassed activities such as informing the Five Elders about Vegapunk's historical research and recurrently abducting Cipher Pol agents, acts even Vegapunk himself remained oblivious to. Notably, York possesses the ability to replicate the Mother Flame, a trait that renders her valuable to the World Government. Moreover, she exhibits proficiency as a sharpshooter, exemplified by her successful long-range shooting of Shaka with a regular yet substantial pistol. In the context of historical figures Edison and Pythagoras, York played a unique role. As they toiled away, York managed their bodily necessities, eating, resting, and relieving herself on their behalf, thus facilitating their continuous work. Summoned alongside other satellites, excluding Atlas, York persisted in her eating endeavors, eagerly anticipating any excitement. However, she soon succumbed to sleep. Subsequent to the quelling of CP0's and the Seraphim's assaults on the lab, York deduced her betrayal by the World Government. She covertly rendezvoused with the Seraphim, issuing new directives for a massacre, sparing only herself, Stella, and captured Cipher Pol agents. She instructed S-Snake to momentarily petrify her, eliminating suspicions. York tasked S-Snake with safeguarding a specific lab section. Following this, she rejoined the pursuit for Stella, collaborating with the SSG and the Straw Hat crew. On the third floor of Building C, alongside Lilith, Usopp, and Franky, York encountered evidence of an attack on Pythagoras by S-Snake. In line with the plan, York seemingly careened into S-Snake's trap, allowing herself to be petrified. Subsequently, S-Snake launched an assault on the rest of the search party, forcing them downwards and parting them from York. Soon after, York reverted to her natural state and clandestinely shadowed Shaka to Vegapunk's incarceration site. She swiftly incapacitated Shaka with a gunshot to the head as he endeavored to liberate Vegapunk. Thereupon, York unmasked herself as the traitor, proclaiming her intentions to assume Vegapunk's mantle. Despite her efforts, York found herself outmatched by the Straw Hat Pirates and their compatriots. They overpowered and restrained her, while Usopp facilitated communication with the Five Elders. In the ensuing conversation, York sought their intentions, highlighting her alignment with Vegapunk. Her plea for clemency led to a concession, as the Five Elders agreed not to harm her or the lab, given the lab's significance in generating the Mother Flame. In exchange, York beseeched to be elevated to the status of a World Noble, a proposal which the Elders accepted. She concluded by imploring them to shield her from Luffy's pursuit.
