One Piece has recently unveiled some significant revelations, particularly in the latest chapter, One Piece chapter 1086. After nearly 20 years, the true identities of the Five Elders, who were introduced in the story long ago, have finally been disclosed to the fans. It seems that their hidden identities were intentionally kept secret, as they were initially not intended to be major characters in the story.
In previous statements, Oda had hinted that the Gorosei had yet to showcase their true capabilities, but the Final Saga will finally reveal their true worth to the fans. As such, One Piece chapter 1086 not only unveiled the names of all the Gorosei members for the first time, but also shed light on their respective titles and roles within the World Government. Among the intriguing members of the Gorosei is Saint Marcus Mars.
St Marcus Mars, a member of the Gorosei, is distinguished by his large mustache and long, pointed beard. While he appears to be the oldest among the Gorosei, this is mere speculation. Saint Marcus Mars belongs to the Marcus Family, one of the original 20 families responsible for establishing the World Government. It is believed that either Saint Marcus Mars himself or his ancestors engaged in a victorious battle against the Ancient Kingdom. It is highly probable that they pledged their commitment to equality before the Empty Throne, as evidenced by the presence of 19 swords planted before it.
However, Saint Marcus Mars, along with the other members of the Five Elders, eventually pledged their allegiance to Imu of the Nerona Family. Imu was appointed as the ruler of the world and the Gorosei became their personal protectors. To the rest of the world, the Five Elders are considered the ultimate authority within the World Government, as they hold the highest positions among the Celestial Dragons. However, in reality, this authority truly lies with Imu.
Nevertheless, Saint Marcus Mars holds the second most powerful position in the world, just after Imu, and he shares this status with the other four Elders introduced by Oda, namely Saint Topman Warcury, Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, and Saint Jaygarcia Saturn. Saint Marcus Mars has the authority to pass judgment on anyone below him, which is evident given his influential position within the World Government. As the highest-ranking Celestial Dragon, he also possesses the freedom to do as he pleases in relation to the inhabitants of the Blue Sea.
Marcus Mars As The Warrior God Of Environment
Each member of the Five Elders, including Saint Marcus Mars, holds a prestigious title that signifies their significant role within the Government. One Piece chapter 1086 introduces fans to these titles, providing insight into the specific responsibilities each Elder fulfills. Saint Topman Warcury is known as the Warrior God of Justice, Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro is recognized as the Warrior God of Finance, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter assumes the role of the Warrior God of Agriculture, and Saint Jaygarcia Saturn is revered as the Warrior God of Defense and Science.
Saint Marcus Mars, the Warrior God of the Environment, holds a title that may leave fans questioning its significance. As a Celestial Dragon, he ranks among the highest members of the divine beings in the world. Not only is he a formidable combatant, but he also likely participated in the war during the Void Century. Despite not having witnessed his combat skills, it has been confirmed that all other Five Elders possess impressive fighting abilities. Being the Warrior God of Environment suggests that Saint Marcus Mars may possess unique capabilities related to manipulating or utilizing the environment, potentially stemming from his Devil Fruit power. It is possible that his ability to transform into various creatures aids him in harnessing and controlling the surrounding environment.
How Strong Is Saint Marcus Mars?
Saint Marcus Mars is known for his incredible strength, which is attributed to his possession of a Devil Fruit. This information was revealed in chapter 1085 of One Piece, during Sabo's attack on the Five Elders and Imu. Despite the intense flames, the Five Elders emerged unharmed, clearly displaying their Devil Fruit abilities. It was observed that each member of the Gorosei possesses a Zoan type Devil Fruit, with the Mythical Zoan class being the rarest and most exceptional among them. While the identities of some members remain unknown, Saint Marcus Mars is easily recognizable.
Fans witnessed Saint Marcus Mars transforming into a bird-like creature, indicating that he possesses a mythical bird-type Devil Fruit or a similar avian creature. The possibilities include legendary birds like the Thunderbird or other similar beings. One popular theory suggests that Saint Marcus Mars may be the user of the Garuda Devil Fruit. The existence of the Garuda myth in the world of One Piece is already known, as it is associated with Vinsmoke Judge. Therefore, it is plausible that Saint Marcus Mars possesses this Mythical Devil Fruit.
Saint Marcus Mars is highly likely to be a skilled user of Haki. As the top authority in the World Government and someone who can withstand attacks from Sabo unscathed, it is almost certain that he possesses Haki. Fans can expect him to have exceptional Observation Haki and Armament Haki. It is also not far-fetched to imagine that Saint Marcus Mars possesses the Color of the Supreme King, also known as Conqueror's Haki. Being the highest-ranking member of the Celestial Dragons and a Warrior God, it is not unreasonable to assume that he has this powerful ability.
Furthermore, Saint Mars belongs to the Marcus Family, one of the families of the 20 Kings. If he is indeed immortal, it is possible that he was one of the founding members of the World Government, making it unsurprising for him to possess the Haki of the Supreme King. As the story progresses, fans can look forward to discovering more about his formidable capabilities. For now, they can eagerly await the unveiling of Saint Marcus Mars' powers.
