Ruffy is currently in the Manga of One Piece on Egghead Island and is facing a dire situation – literally. One of his opponents is stepping it up and conjuring something that could be the most powerful hurdle on Ruffy’s path to becoming Pirate King.
Attention, Spoiler: This article discusses the events from Chapter 1109. If you want to read the chapter spoiler-free, come back at a later time.
Which opponents are we talking about? The Five Elders are the ones in question. Saturn is one of the members and has already traveled to Egghead Island to get the situation under control. However, he didn’t anticipate Ruffy’s Gear 5 power: The rubber man slams Saturn and throws him around like a frisbee.
But Saturn returns and begins to perform a summoning. Suddenly, four gigantic black pillars hit the ground. Sanji exclaims that this phenomenon also occurred when Saturn appeared.
Since Oda added the hint “The planets are aligned,” it is assumed that Saturn is summoning the remaining members of the Five Elders. They stand (after Imu) at the top of the World Government and will engage in the most intense battle with Ruffy that he has ever faced.
The Egghead Island Arc has received a new opening that you can listen to here:
What the Five Elders can do in One Piece
What are the capabilities of the Five Elders? The Five Elders consist of old men named after planets. Their names are:
- Shepherd Ju Peter (Jupiter)
- Topman Warcury (Mercury)
- Marcus Mars (Mars)
- Jaygarcia Saturn (Saturn)
- Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro (Venus)
The remaining planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are the namesakes of the Ancient Weapons. It seems that the Five Elders do not age. Their appearance has not changed in 20 years.
The Five Elders possess the greatest political power. Their word is law, as they stand at the top of the World Government. However, they are not only politically powerful but also formidable in combat. In one chapter, it was already shown that the Five Elders can transform into dark figures.
The only one of the Five Elders who has already shown himself in battle is Saturn. He can transform into a large demonic spider with six legs and two horns.
He is immune to other devil fruit powers like that of Jewelry Bonney and has high resistance. With his clawed legs, he can impale others. Moreover, just his gaze is enough to injure others.
If all Five Elders were to enter the battlefield, it would be tight for Ruffy. Only Imu could represent an even greater threat on the side of the World Government. The resolution of who Ruffy’s opponent will be may come in the next chapter, which will be released on March 17, 2024.
Perhaps Lorenzo Ndele Simonelli will also be excited since he is a big fan of Ruffy: One Piece: Ruffy is the role model for a successful athlete who comes in second at a world championship
