In One Piece, the Five Elder Stars have a huge impact on the plot, especially as we get deeper into the final story. It seems like author Eiichiro Oda has hinted that these characters will play an important role. And now, as the story is approaching its epic conclusion, the Five Elder Stars will play a key role.
Through the revealing flashback Sabo shared, fans learned that the Five Elders are more than just political giants. They are also true legends, possessing devil fruit powers that make anyone afraid.
Oda is gradually revealing the abilities of the world’s top old men and surprising viewers with what they are capable of doing. Of course, everyone is waiting to see who is the strongest among the Five Elder Stars.
First, the first person to show his face was Saint Jay Garcia Saturn. He is the main antagonist of the Egghead Island arc, which kicks off the final One Piece story. His mission is to finish off Vegapunk, who has Saeraphims and a series of Mark 3 Pacificas.
Saturn is like a monster. Even though he is approximately 80 years old, his fighting power is still at its peak. Saturn has awakened his devil fruit power and transformed into a strange creature, with a half-human, half-spider body and two large horns on his head. The creation appears to be based on the Ushi Oni, a creature from Japanese mythology with the features of a cow and a spider.
In Zoan form, Saturn can heal himself. When he is pierced by a sword, the wound heals within seconds, and once the blade is removed, even the blood stains disappear. Saturn can also project an invisible, telekinetic aura-like “force” without having to move. In addition, Saturn is also proficient in all three types of Haki.
Saturn also holds the power to govern all scientific advances of the World Government. He is a scientist himself and is confident enough in his intelligence to believe that even Vegapunk, the smartest person in the world, cannot deceive him when it comes to modifying the Kuma robot.
Besides Saint Jay Garcia Saturn, Nusjuro is another Five Elder who attracts attention as the swordsman of the group, with a sword that brings pure terror, Shodai Kitetsu, known for its deadly curse.
Nusjuro’s abilities remain a mystery, but everything points to him being an awakened Hito Hito no Mi user, like the Five Elder Stars. Nusjuro is vying for the position of the most powerful person in the group, which says a lot about his size and strength.
Of course, we still have other elders Saint Marte, Saint Ju Pedro and Saint Warcury. They all promise to have extraordinary powers and be able to take on the biggest names in the series. It remains to be seen exactly what each one can do, but it’s certain that they have special abilities and have awakened Zoan-type devil fruits.
The big question of who is the strongest among the Five Elder Stars is a puzzle. Because they occupy the same position and have equivalent power. There may be small differences here and there, but overall, they are all equivalent pieces on the same chess board. And they are all characters with important roles in the final scene of “One Piece”. No matter who Luffy faces, it will definitely be a great performance.
