The Gorosei hold significant influence in One Piece, particularly in the Final Saga where their true worth has been long-awaited by fans. As the story progresses, Oda has given the Five Elders more attention in recent chapters, building up to their eventual spotlight. Chapter 1085 showcased the impressive abilities of the Gorosei, revealing them to be Devil Fruit users with formidable powers, which surprised many readers.
The Gorosei's Mythical Zoans
During his audience with the Five Elders in One Piece 1085, King Cobra inquired about Queen Lily, the former monarch of Arabasta who chose not to become a Celestial Dragon and instead returned to rule her people. However, Cobra revealed that she never made it back home and there were no records of her thereafter, suggesting her death. He also asked about the meaning of the letter D, only to be shocked when Imu suddenly appeared and revealed that the D are enemies of the Gods, and that Queen Lily made a grave mistake in the past by spreading the Poneglyphs. As Cobra prepared for his imminent demise, Sabo intervened and saved him.
The Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army unleashed a devastating Fire Fist towards the Five Elders, and even targeted Imu. To the amazement of everyone, including Imu themselves, all the Gorosei had transformed into their respective Devil Fruit forms. It seems that the Gorosei possess Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits, which are expected to grant them unparalleled abilities.
Gorosei With The Human Human Fruit
Even though One Piece 1085 left fans with just a silhouette of the Gorosei's Devil Fruit forms, Oda's skillful illustrations allowed fans to pick up some details. The bald Elder with glasses and a katana, for instance, had an easily identifiable transformation while still maintaining his human-like appearance. A steam cloud around his neck was also visible, a feature that has been seen in other characters like Luffy, Lucci, Kaku, Yamato, and even Kaido in his dragon form.
While the specific Devil Fruit possessed by the bald Gorosei remains a mystery to fans, the fact that he has maintained his human-like appearance suggests that he may have consumed a model of the Hito Hito no Mi. Additionally, considering his age of several hundred years, it is likely that his Devil Fruit has been awakened. However, the exact model of the human human fruit he possesses remains unknown. Despite this uncertainty, it is possible that as the rulers of the world, the Gorosei may have access to an exceptionally powerful Devil Fruit, much like Luffy's Nika fruit.
Gorosei With the Bird Devil Fruit
It was impossible not to notice the Gorosei member with a distinguished mustache and lengthy beard during the transformation. The fact that he turned into a colossal bird strongly suggests that he too has a Zoan Devil Fruit in his possession. Considering that Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits are the rarest and most potent types, it is highly probable that his fruit falls under this category. However, the specific mythical bird that he embodies is still unknown. With an abundance of mythical birds to choose from, it is possible that he could be a deity-like bird, which would align perfectly with the Five Elders' godly status alongside Imu.
One intriguing possibility for this Devil Fruit ability is the embodiment of a Garuda's power. Garuda is a mythical creature in the One Piece world, as evidenced by Vinsmoke Judge, the current leader of the Germa Kingdom, who is referred to as the Garuda. However, it is also possible that this Gorosei possesses the power of another mythical bird, such as the Thunderbird. Only time will tell which power they possess until fans witness it in action.
Mythical Oni Devil Fruit
Fans of One Piece were quick to spot another Devil Fruit ability just by looking at the silhouette of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn. Introduced a few chapters prior as a member of the same ship as Admiral Kizaru, Saturn's transformation hints at the mythical powers of an Oni or a Minotaur. With this ability, Saturn is sure to be a formidable opponent for our heroes to face.
His transformation caused massive horns to sprout from his head and his upper body to take on the appearance of a minotaur, strikingly similar to the former Yonko, Kaido. As fans of One Piece are aware, the world is home to Oni, mythical and ancient creatures like Kaido himself. It's possible that these beings possess their own Devil Fruits, and it's likely that Saturn's powers are of this nature.
The Remaining Gorosei
Deciphering the Devil Fruit abilities of the remaining 5 Elders proved to be a challenge due to their indistinct silhouettes. Nevertheless, one of them appeared to possess traits similar to those of an elephant-like creature. It's worth noting that the One Piece universe features numerous mythological creatures that bear resemblance to elephants, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact species in question.
The possibility of a Gorosei member possessing a mythical elephant or elephant-like entity ability cannot be dismissed, especially in light of Jack the Drought's ancient Mammoth Devil Fruit. The enigmatic power of the final Gorosei member's Devil Fruit, depicted as a massive head with a gaping mouth, remains shrouded in mystery. Despite the lack of concrete information, fans can speculate that, like the other four members, this power could also be of the Mythical Zoan class. Until Oda reveals the true nature of this Devil Fruit, the answer will remain elusive.
