Saturn's initial foray into the battlefield left spectators awestruck with its sheer brilliance. With such a remarkable display, numerous enthusiasts of the One Piece series are postulating that Saturn, along with the other Elders, possess formidable combat abilities that could potentially rival, or perhaps even surpass, the might of the Emperors and Admirals.Saint Saturn's dominant aura hints at the Five Elders having a place among One Piece's top strongest characters
Saturn's arrival on the battlefield shocked everyone
Toei Animation's portrayal of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn in the iconic series, One Piece, showcases the character's determination and strength.
Amidst the intense battle between Kizaru and Luffy, and Roronoa Zoro's unwavering defense against Rob Lucci, Saint Saturn recognizes the urgency of the situation. With Vegapunk's control over the Pacifista cyborgs compromised, Saint Saturn takes it upon themselves to intervene and face the challenge head-on.
Suddenly, a colossal pentacle materialized in the heart of Egghead, emanating fire, black lightning, and a malevolent demonic aura. It was soon announced to the entire island that Saint Jaygarcia Saturn had arrived, cautioning all marines below the rank of Rear Admiral against direct eye contact with him.
The motive behind this warning swiftly unfolded as a marine soldier's head violently burst open upon accidentally locking eyes with Saturn, succumbing to his foreboding gaze. Subsequently, Saturn's monstrous transformation was unveiled in its entirety, his once-human physique replaced by a terrifying entity.
Saturn had a distinctive appearance with horns protruding from his head and spider legs instead of his lower limbs, giving him an intriguing blend of yokai, ox, and spider-like features, reminiscent of the legendary Japanese creature known as ushi-oni. Additionally, his body was encompassed by dark steam clouds, similar to the Awakened Zoan forms of Kaku, Lucci, and Luffy.
Kizaru, Luffy, Zoro, and Lucci, engaged in an intense battle, momentarily halted their fierce fight due to the unexpected emergence of Saturn's aura. The fact that the four most formidable warriors ever encountered on Egghead were apprehensive in the face of Saturn's presence, clearly highlights the undeniable power possessed by the latter.

Rarely do an Admiral, an Emperor, their trusted second-in-command, and the formidable CP0 agent find themselves genuinely impressed by another individual's prowess. It is worth mentioning that among these formidable fighters are two skilled practitioners of Advanced Conqueror's Haki, a powerful Logia user, and an individual in possession of an Awakened Zoan fruit.
By causing these four remarkable individuals to momentarily pause their intense clashes, One Piece author Eiichiro Oda effectively conveyed Saturn's unparalleled might. I must admit, Saturn's arrival onto the battlefield was undeniably awe-inspiring.
In all respects, Saturn and the other Elders are true monsters

Lucci, Zoro, Luffy, and Kizaru's reactions to Saturn are absolutely chilling. Very few characters in One Piece can claim to be portrayed as impressively by Oda. It may be too early to make definitive conclusions, but Saturn's overwhelming aura gives the impression of a character whose power is equal to, if not greater than, that of Emperors and Admirals.
In fact, judging solely from his portrayal in the story, Saint Saturn could potentially be even stronger than an Emperor like Luffy or an Admiral like Kizaru, as they both appeared genuinely amazed by him. While Saturn's actual combat skills have yet to be fully revealed, the dominant image of his character makes it abundantly clear that the Five Elders are truly formidable.
The Five Elders, known as the highest-ranked Celestial Dragons, have been unveiled as formidable powerhouses in the recent One Piece chapters. These chapters shed light on the events of the latest Levely, showcasing that the Five Elders are not merely politicians but beings of true strength.
In the incident, all five Celestial Dragons were able to withstand a direct hit from Sabo's Fire Fist attack without any harm. It is an impressive accomplishment to emerge unscathed from the powerful attack of Monkey D. Dragon's right-hand man.
Furthermore, it was revealed that the Five Elders are known as "Warrior Gods," indicating that they are not ordinary elderly individuals. Their muscular and scarred bodies suggest that they possess some level of combat experience. This is particularly noticeable with one of the Elders, Saint V. Nusjuro, who is always depicted holding a katana.
V. Nusjuro's sword bears a striking resemblance to the renowned Shodai Kitetsu, a Supreme Grade blade. Clearly, a weapon of this caliber could only be wielded by a formidable warrior of exceptional prowess.
There is a prevalent theory in the One Piece community suggesting that the Five Elders are immortal or, at the very least, do not age. Furthermore, it is believed that they possess an exceptionally prolonged lifespan that can be traced back to the Void Century. This theory gains traction due to the striking similarity between their appearance in the Ohara flashback, which occurred approximately twenty years prior to the present narrative of One Piece, and their current portrayal.
The recent chapters of One Piece have shown that, regardless of the extent of their capabilities and powers (which will likely be revealed soon), it has become evident that the World Government holds absolute control over the entire world. This tyrannical organization has the audacity to conceal their most powerful assets, namely Imu-sama and the Five Elders. #OnePiece #WorldGovernment
It is highly probable that the World Government aims to conceal its true nature, as revealing it would expose the institution as an oppressive dictatorship. Both Imu and the Five Elders refrain from displaying their actual power and instead depend on the assistance of the Marines and Cipher Pols.
Nevertheless, with significant global events causing disturbance in the seas, the opportune moment for a transformative action, known as the "great cleansing," appears to have arrived. This elucidates why Saint Saturn chose to reveal himself on Egghead.
The engagement on Egghead has potentially marked Saturn as the probable first member of the Five Elders to face defeat, thereby suggesting his relative lack of power compared to the others. It is important to note, however, that Saturn's strength alone is capable of instilling fear in fighters of top-tier caliber, leading fans of One Piece to anticipate even more remarkable achievements from V. Nusjuro, Mars, Warcury, and Ju Peter.
The common belief about the Five Elders was that they were powerful figures with significant political authority, second only to Imu. However, the series strongly suggests that this perception is incorrect. They are not just influential figures, but rather ruthless killers who possess the ability to transform into terrifying monsters, ominously termed as "devilish" by Sabo.
Given their rumored immortality and evident skill in combat, it is highly likely that Saturn and the others are highly experienced fighters. Considering their monstrous transformations and their status as major antagonists in a popular shonen series, it is reasonable to assume that they rank among the franchise's most formidable individuals.
In One Piece chapter 1094, Saturn's portrayal is truly astounding, leading fans to consider him and the other Elders on par with entry-level Admirals or Emperors in terms of their fighting abilities. Stay updated on One Piece's manga, anime, and live-action series throughout 2023.
