Of all Vegapunk's satellites in One Piece, Shaka was the only one who hid his face because he inherited Vegapunk's true nature.
Oda Reveals Akainu's BIGGEST SECRET!? The admirals will turn on the government! (One Piece 1124)
Dr. Vegapunk's death during the Egghead Island arc has brought about a major change in the story of One Piece. While fans are saddened by Vegapunk's death, others blame him for the events of Egghead as it was one of his satellites who betrayed him and decided to conspire with the Five Elders.
Fans have questioned Vegapunk's intentions since the beginning of One Piece, as he was not only deeply involved with the World Government; he was also responsible for many deaths and destruction caused by his inventions. Therefore, it might be a little difficult for One Piece fans to place him on one side of the story.
However, there is a possibility that Eiichiro Oda may have hidden Vegapunk's true intentions through his first satellite, Shaka. Shaka was the embodiment of Vegapunk's goodness, but he was also the only one who kept his true face hidden from others. This in a way proves that Vegapunk was a good person by nature who wanted to keep his goodness hidden.
