Highlights
One Piece chapter 1094 reveals Saturn as the main antagonist of the arc, and the Straw Hat Pirates will have to deal with him.
Saturn possesses the extraordinary Devil Fruit ability to metamorphose into a formidable amalgamation reminiscent of a spider, ox, and Oni. This manifestation of his powers is evident through the ethereal shroud of black flames enveloping his neck, which serves as a testament to his unparalleled mastery over his Devil Fruit and solidifies his position as one of the most formidable individuals in the One Piece universe.
One Piece chapter 1094 left fans in awe as it unveiled an astonishing enemy reveal. Although fans anticipated the ongoing battle between Luffy and Kizaru, a significant moment occurred towards the chapter's end. This is when Saturn showcased his Devil Fruit powers for the first time and summoned himself onto the island using a ritual circle.
Without a doubt, Saturn is the primary antagonist of this arc and the formidable foe that the Straw Hat Pirates must confront. From now on, the highly anticipated Egghead Incident, hinted at by Oda, is just about to captivate fans.
Saturn's Devil Fruit Ability
After taking control of the Pacifistas, Atlas, Vegapunk recognized the need to take action. Failing to do so would have resulted in the marines suffering significant casualties and collateral damage. Meanwhile, Luffy single-handedly kept Kizaru occupied, while Zoro engaged Lucci. The marines lacked the firepower to secure victory, a fact also apparent to Saturn, who then used his Devil Fruit powers to intervene on the island.
Saturn performed a peculiar ritual, evoking a circle with demonic qualities. This circle materialized, emanating powerful bursts of Haki throughout the island. Notably, a foreboding and dark aura accompanied this phenomenon, which all present, including Luffy and Kizaru, could sense. Suddenly, flames enveloped the ritual circle, and Saturn emerged in his transformed Devil Fruit state. Notably, his form was a fascinating representation of the Mythical Zoan category, resembling a chimera composed of various creatures, potentially including a spider, an ox, or an Oni, or perhaps a combination of all.
The Mythology Behind Saturn's Devil Fruit
While the Devil Fruit name of Saturn remains undisclosed to fans, it bears a striking resemblance to the Yokai creature Ushi Oni from Japanese mythology. Ushi Oni is depicted as a combination of an ox and a spider, known for their brutal and menacing nature. Saturn, as one of the 20 Founders, has concealed his role in bringing chaos to the world alongside the Five Elders.
Saturn's cruel personality is evident, as demonstrated in the previous chapter where a lower-ranking marine lost his life upon meeting the gaze of the Five Elders. Physically, Saturn closely resembles an Ushi Oni, featuring a spider's lower half and either an ox or an Oni's upper half. With his human body torso intact, he boasts inward-curving giant horns, indicative of his current hybrid form rather than his fully transformed state.
Is Saturn's Devil Fruit Awakened?
In mythology, it is believed that these Ushi Oni not only enjoy feasting on humans, but they also possess the horrifying ability to spit poison. This venomous attack is used to swiftly eliminate their prey before devouring them. These powerful Yokai instilled fear in ancient myths due to their ominous abilities, much like Saturn exemplified in the previous chapter.
Saturn's Devil Fruit power is undoubtedly manifested through the ominous black flame cloud encircling his neck. Remarkably reminiscent of the identical engulfing phenomenon employed by Lucci and Kaku.
Saturn possesses black flame clouds, which sharply contrasts with the white cloud forming around Luffy's neck. This suggests that fans have yet to witness Saturn's normal Devil Fruit form, which would likely be smaller and weaker. The implication is that Saturn has attained mastery over his Devil Fruit through awakening, making him one of the strongest individuals in the world, as this ability is exclusive to a select few.
However, it should be noted that flame clouds do not always indicate an awakened Devil Fruit. This is evident from Yamato, who possessed a flame cloud but did not possess an Awakened Devil Fruit power. Additionally, Luffy, particularly in his Gear Fourth form, also displayed a similar cloud, which was not a manifestation of his Devil Fruit awakening.
However, fans can take solace in knowing that when it comes to Saturn, his fruit is undoubtedly awakened. This is due to his extensive experience and years of honing his abilities. Moreover, the resemblance of his flame cloud to those of Kaku and Lucci further solidifies the confirmation of his Devil Fruit Awakening.
Gorosei Jaygarcia Saturn - Stronger Than Luffy?
Jaygarcia Saturn is undeniably one of the most formidable individuals in the One Piece universe, potentially even surpassing the strength of a Marine Admiral. It is highly likely that a Yonko like Luffy would face a grueling battle against him. Moreover, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to suggest that the Five Elders possess enough power to overcome a Yonko. However, this doesn't necessarily indicate that they are significantly stronger than these formidable pirates; rather, it signifies their ability to bring sufficient resources to the table and emerge victorious. Saturn, being equipped with the awe-inspiring Awakened Mythical Zoan Ushi Oni Devil Fruit, is expected to follow suit. Fans can anticipate him to wield Haki with exceptional mastery.
Considering his royal bloodline and status as one of the world's rulers, it is only logical for Saturn to possess Conqueror's Haki. In addition, he would also have access to the powers of Observation and Armament Haki, complementing his formidable Devil Fruit abilities. Fans can certainly expect Saturn to be a formidable force, comparable to a Yonko, in terms of combat.
This is further supported by the fact that Saturn, along with others who have confronted Joyboy and the Ancient Kingdom, now emerges as the main antagonists in the storyline. It can be safely assumed that Saturn surpasses Luffy in strength, making it necessary for the Straw Hat Pirate to further enhance his skills in order to defeat him.
One Piece can be read legally and for free by fans on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus app, through its availability on Viz Media. The upcoming release date for the next chapter, One Piece 1094, is scheduled for October 8, 2023.
