| Gorosei |
Looking
at the position of the Gorosei in the World Government, there is an interesting
speculation that they might be the organization's strongest weapon. The Gorosei
remains one of the significant mysteries in the One Piece world, introduced by
Oda decades ago. Even though we now know their names, roles, and limited
abilities, the possibility lingers that the Gorosei could be the World Government's
most potent weapon.
Clues from Egghead Island
Gorosei
For
centuries in the world of One Piece, the Five Elders, commonly known as the
Gorosei, have been political figures for everyone in the Grand Line and the New
World. The inhabitants believe that the Gorosei are the world's supreme
leaders, overseeing everything through the World Government.
The
World Government, as known to geeks, has been the largest organization in the
One Piece world for the past 800 years. They are considered the group that
"constructed" the One Piece world, with the descendants of the 20
kingdoms forming the World Government known as the Celestial Dragons. They see
themselves as descendants of the "gods" who built the world.
One of
the factors contributing to the World Government's power is the strength they
possess. So far, the World Government is known to have various sources of
power, including their secret group, Cipher Pol, and the most prominent being
the Marine forces. Based on what has been revealed so far, it seems like the
World Government does not require a weapon stronger than these two.
However,
in the current Egghead Island arc, Oda seems to be changing the perspective on
the Gorosei. He hints that they might not just be political figures for
propaganda purposes, but possibly the World Government's strongest weapons.
Gorosei,
particularly Saint Jay Garcia Saturn, appears to have no significant issues or
difficulties when facing Luffy. This could be a dangerous signal for Luffy. If
observed closely, why did Im decide to send Gorosei Saturn to Egghead Island,
even after dispatching Kizaru and 30,000 Marine soldiers? This provides
evidence that Im does not trust the Marines to match Luffy's strength.
Knowing
that the opponents on Egghead Island are the Yonko's pirate group with the
greatest power in the world, it makes sense for Im to send their greatest
weapon, the Gorosei—specifically Gorosei Saint Jay Garcia Saturn. From what has
been shown in the story, there are reasons why Im sent Gorosei Saturn to
Egghead Island.
The most obvious is that he possesses tremendous power. The extent of Gorosei Saturn's power remains a mystery. Oda has presented terrifying aspects of Gorosei Saturn, such as the ability to destroy someone's head without touching, appearing anywhere, preventing people from attacking, and even a healing factor.
The Strongest Weapon in the World
Saturn
If
Nika is the most formidable force in the One Piece world, it is highly likely
that the Gorosei are rivals to Nika. Considering they are the world's greatest
power, there must be a reason why they consider Nika a force to be reckoned
with. Since Luffy needs to face opponents far more terrifying and challenging
after Kaido, Gorosei Saturn could be a suitable opponent for Luffy at this
point.
Considering
the power displayed by Gorosei Saturn on Egghead Island, it seems reasonable
for the Gorosei to be at the highest echelon of the World Government. Moreover,
it makes sense if other Gorosei have equally formidable powers or even more
potent. Facing the Gorosei might be the Straw Hat group's most significant
mission before confronting Im.
When
Gorosei Saturn is eventually defeated—possibly requiring extra efforts and
dozens to hundreds of chapters—Luffy and the Straw Hat group will still need to
overcome the other four Gorosei, which will undoubtedly be no easy task. This
could also be a signal to Luffy and the Straw Hats that they will face
significant challenges ahead and need additional strength for it.
How the
Gorosei earned the title "Warrior God" could explain the extent of
their formidable characters. Their position as subordinates to Im Sama could be
a logical reason why the Gorosei are the World Government's strongest weapons.
Currently, there is no information about the origins of the Gorosei, but it is
possible that they are powerful characters originating from 800 years ago.
The
Gorosei might be the strongest knights chosen by Im, assisting in defeating the
other 19 kingdoms in the power struggle. Thus, they are the ones who helped Im
attain their current position. In conclusion, the Gorosei indeed represent the
World Government's greatest power, especially for Im. The formidable powers
showcased by Gorosei Saturn in the Egghead arc could be tangible proof of this.
This also implies that other Gorosei might have powers and formidable abilities
on par with or even greater than Saturn's, making them a plausible source of
the world's greatest strength.
