Finally, we see how powerful the Five Elder Stars are in One Piece. But are these old men at the top of the World Government stronger than the Four Emperors?
1. The Five Elder Stars actually fought the Four Emperors
The Five Elder Stars actually fought a Yonko level warrior, Monkey D. Luffy.
Luffy is the character who defeated Kaido. Gear 5 Luffy is even so strong that he can quickly defeat characters with lower power levels than the Yonko, such as Rob Lucci.
So based on Luffy's performance against the Five Elder Stars, what can we conclude?
2. Five Elder Stars' incarnation and Haki are very strong
The Five Elder Stars have extremely special Haki. Even characters like Jinbe, who has faced off against Yonko like Big Mom and whose captain is a Yonko, still have a high opinion of their Haki. One of the Five Elder Stars, Topman Warcury, even has Conqueror's Haki with a powerful aura.
3. The unique skills of the Five Elder Stars
We've seen some of the Five Elder Stars' unique power skills in recent chapters of One Piece. Saturn has the most visible skills by far. He can teleport from the pentagram circle, and can even teleport other Elders to Egghead Island instantly.
Saturn can also render powerful warriors like Sanji and Franky unable to move. He also seems to have a strange long-range attack.
4. As a Four Emperor level warrior, Luffy can attack the Five Elder Stars but cannot defeat or injure them
Luffy can take on the Five Elder Stars, especially if he only faces one. The Straw Hat Captain was able to carry out several attacks, or even repel the attacks of the Five Elder Stars.
But after all, the toughness of the old men leading the Government is even more terrifying than Kaido.
As for Kaido, he is very difficult to defeat but we can see that he can still be injured by quite strong attacks.
Gear 5 Luffy, who can injure Kaido, seems to have difficulty in injuring the Five Elder Stars. The problem is that they continue to recover and Luffy even said that they can't die in chapter 1111.
The Five Elder Stars must have some secret, making it very difficult to hurt them. As long as the secret has not been revealed, defeating them is impossible.
In fact, perhaps if Kaido, Big Mom, Shanks or Whitebeard fought the Five Elder Stars, their situation would be similar to Luffy's. They can launch powerful attacks, even destroying the old men's bodies or knocking them away, but the Five Elder Stars will recover.
5. Current conclusion?
Witnessing Luffy's performance in front of the Five Elder Stars, perhaps the Government old men are more dangerous than the Four Emperors. Luffy himself decided to leave instead of continuing the fight with the Five Elder Stars in chapter 1111.
Defeating them may even be impossible, unless Luffy and the Straw Hats can find the answer to the mystery of the Five Elder Stars' immortality.
The Five Elder Stars are opponents that can be very difficult for a Yonko… and this is quite suitable for the current situation.
