Recently, the Five Elder Stars are one of the most discussed topics in the One Piece fan community. Author Oda himself decided to pay more attention to them and things are heating up. An interesting fact was brought to light in chapter 1110, contrary to what many people think, the Five Elder Stars did not eat a devil fruit.
Strength does not come from devil fruit powers
From the first time the Five Elder Stars appeared, even before the story went through the 2-year timeskip, everyone knew they were the key figures of the world. The Five Old Stars always appear at important moments, their information is kept secret until the end of the story.
Now, on Egghead Island, the power of these old men at the top of the world has been shown more clearly. One of the Five Elder Stars, Saint Saturn has shown that his power is extremely mystical, using skills more reminiscent of Yokai (Yōkai in Japanese mythology) than anything.
The true nature of the Five Elder Stars
In chapter 1110 of the One Piece manga, the Five Elder Stars gather on Egghead Island with the help of Saint Saturn and his magical invocations. That was also when Oda revealed the power of the Five Elder Stars, their power is Yokai.
Each person has the unique power of a mystical creature without eating a devil fruit. In which Saturn with Gyuki’s power, Marcus Mars as Itsumade, Saint Warcury as Fengxi, V. Nusjuro as Bakotsu and Jupiter with Sand Worm. In other words, these are creatures in their true form and quite crazy.
Why isn’t the power of the Five Elder Stars a devil fruit power?
The story of the Five Elder Stars being mythical creatures instead of devil fruit users makes us think. Not only do they have powers reminiscent of devil fruit powers, but they also don’t have the classic weakness to the sea. They have additional abilities, such as telepathic communication and summoning, which are not common among devil fruit users. And the craziest thing, they reincarnate in an unusual way.
Now, the big question is where all this power comes from. It seems they are all related to Imu, the real person behind the One Piece world. Imu may be the key to the unique power of the Five Elder Stars, who are theoretically said to be Imu’s personal protectors. This would explain the almost divine power the Five Elder Stars have, unlike anything we’ve seen before in One Piece.
