The Enigma of Saint Shepherd Ju Peter: Unraveling the Mysteries of One Piece
Meet Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, the youngest member of the Gorosei, who will unleash havoc upon Imu's enemies This formidable warrior god of agriculture poses a deadly threat
In a recent chapter, One Piece finally introduces the Five Elders, also known as the Gorosei, in a proper manner. These characters, who have long operated behind the scenes, are now stepping into the spotlight as the Final Saga unfolds. Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, has always planned to showcase the importance of the Five Elders in this stage of the story. With their roles becoming more prominent, fans can expect significant developments involving these characters. One of the members, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, has particularly captured the attention of many fans for various intriguing reasons.
Who Is Saint Shepherd Ju Peter?
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, a member of the Gorosei, has been a topic of speculation among fans. Many believed that there was a connection between him and Sanji, but recent information has confirmed that this is not the case. Saint Shepherd Ju Peter is actually one of the highest-ranking members of the Celestial Dragons, specifically from the Shepherd Family. This family was part of the group of 20 families that fought against the Ancient Kingdom and eventually settled in the Holy Land of Marijoa to become Celestial Dragons.
Although Saint Shepherd Ju Peter and the other members of the Five Elders are perceived as the highest authority, this is not entirely true. The true highest authority within the World Government hierarchy is Saint Imu, from the Nerona Family. It was recently revealed that Saint Imu was also one of the Founding 20 members. There is a theory, proposed by Ivankov, that suggests Saint Imu gained immortality through the powers of the Ope Ope no Mi, which allowed them to control the Five Elders.
One popular theory among fans speculates that Saint Shepherd Ju Peter is immortal, supported by the fact that he has shown no signs of aging throughout the story. This theory is further reinforced by his appearances in various flashbacks, including Nico Robin's Ohara flashback 22 years ago and his encounter with Vegapunk 30 to 40 years ago. The implication of his eternal youth raises the possibility that Imu is not the sole possessor of immortality in the One Piece world. It remains a mystery, however, as to how the Five Elders, including Ju Peter, could have obtained immortality, as there is only one known method to achieve such power in One Piece.
Nonetheless, it is known among fans that Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, or his family ancestors, participated in a war that aimed to eradicate the Ancient Kingdom. After the war, they took a solemn vow in front of the Empty Throne, pledging to prevent the world from being ruled by a single individual. As a symbol of this commitment, 19 weapons were placed in front of the Empty Throne, suggesting that a member of the Shepherd Family contributed their weapon as well. While it is highly likely that Saint Shepherd Ju Peter was the one who made this contribution, it cannot be definitively confirmed at this time.
Ju Peter As The Warrior God Of Agriculture
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter is a significant character in One Piece and will have an intriguing role in the future. Recently, it was revealed that he holds a position within the World Government. Each member of the Five Elders is considered a Warrior God, a title that stems from their status as Celestial Dragons. The Celestial Dragons believe themselves to be the Gods of the world, as they are direct descendants of the creators of the current world order. Additionally, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter is not only involved in politics but also a skilled combatant.
Very few members of the Celestial Dragons possess the ability to engage in combat, and even fewer can do so at the highest level. Among them is Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, who is considered a Warrior God, just like the other members of the Five Elders. Saint Shepherd Ju Peter is believed to hold the title of Warrior God of Agriculture, but the exact implications of this remain uncertain. It could mean that he oversees all agricultural matters in the world of One Piece, or it might imply that he possesses agricultural-related powers. Fans will have to wait and discover for themselves the true significance of this bestowed title.
How Strong Is Saint Shepherd Ju Peter?
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, a member of the Five Elders, possesses an extraordinary level of power. There has been a long-standing misconception among fans that the Five Elders are merely political figures within the World Government, delegating their dirty work to others and lacking combat prowess. However, this belief was recently shattered in One Piece chapter 1085, as the Gorosei bravely confronted Sabo and unveiled their terrifying Devil Fruit transformations.
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's Devil Fruit ability remains a mystery, as Oda has only provided fans with silhouettes of the Five Elders' powers. However, based on their appearances, it is likely that Saint Shepherd Ju Peter possesses a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. This would align with the trend of the Five Elders all being Zoan users, and the rarity of Mythical Zoans would make it a fitting choice for such esteemed individuals.
While the specific creature that Saint Shepherd Ju Peter can transform into is unknown, it is safe to assume that he possesses other formidable powers as well. As members of the Gotosei, it can be expected that they are proficient in Haki, an advanced combat technique.
All the members of the Five Elders are expected to possess exceptional proficiency in Haki, particularly in Observation and Armament Haki. Considering his lineage as one of the 20 Kings, it wouldn't be astonishing if Saint Shepherd Jupiter also possesses the formidable ability known as the Color of the Supreme King.
