This is a DEMON FRUIT

[@jerrymontgomery3486]

The fact that the strongest combatants sensed Saturn’s presence when he arrived on the island was crazy. It wasn’t like, “someone strong has arrived”, it was genuine confusion over a mysterious entity. Also makes me wonder if Kizaru (or any of the admirals) has even seen the Gorosei in these forms.

[@jimtsap04]

Saturn said it's been a long time since he's gone out(or something similar) and for him that probably means at least multiple decades so likely he hasn't needed to go into combat and transform since before kizaru even joined the marines let alone rise the ranks and earn authority to be allowed near the gorosei

[@TheFGSDude]

Considering that they said anyone below Rear Admiral is not allowed to look, it is implied at least people of a certain rank know of this power.

The way they say entity only shows that this is not just some devil fruit, haki or any type of ability...it's something far more different, like this probably is a devil fruit user or maybe it's an actual devil that is unlike any zoan, paramecia or logia

[@griffinparker5559]

@@TheFGSDude I think it was more only people above a certain rank were ALLOWED to look at Saturn's demonic form. It is definitely something the world government wants to keep on the down-low, so only having higher ranking officials in the marines know about it would help them keep it secret. I'm pretty sure no one outside of the 5 Elder Planets (+ sabo & wapol) knew about their forms.

That buildup before the circle appeared was so well done. Everyone with observation haki senses him coming and immediately knows something is wrong. That look on Lucci’s face… guy was terrified. Jinbei’s line there was also odd to me, noting that Saturn had a “strange presence”. Not strictly powerful or intense, but strange, as if it is something he doesn’t recognize. Something he’s never sensed before. If Saturn really is a demon, then that strange presence would make sense.

[@sonofcronos7831]

Funny thing, when one of the fishmen princes (i forgot his name) was in Mary Geoise, he sensed a strange presence coming from the underground and decided to not use the travelator. This refers to the slaves working in the underground of Maey Geoise. So maybe fishmen and merman can sense the strange presence of the Tenryuubito and the bad things they do, slavery included.

[@Fairbranksthecat]

I think he has a mythical zoan x model demon if we have buddha and sun god fruits so existing demons from our reality or demons made up by oda from the one piece reality can have fruits too. Saturn as the cloud scarf like other awakened zoan. He can probably use magic and cast spell, I think we didn't see the Fruit box because it's a spell from Saturn summoning an image of him and Oda only reveal devil fruits name when the physical body of the individual is in the panel not an image of him. Oda is doing some deep stuff here no doubt.

[@caiusdrakegaming8087]

@@Fairbranksthecat Oda also sometimes doesn't show the fruit name for a while too, like with Kaido. We'd seen him transform multiple times before we ever got the name of his fruit. Could be the same thing going on with Saturn, keeping the mystery going until Oda feels it's time to reveal it. Because there's two routes Saturn's fruit could take.

Saturns entrance was so disturbing. He didn’t just leap out of the boat on island he crawled out of a black pentagram, and announced how long it’s been since he’s been to the surface. It just makes you feel like he is unworldly. This definitely added another layer to one piece for me. I knew the elders were going to be strong no matter what, but in no way shape or form did I expect this. It creates an entirely different power level for me. Makes me think of how strong emperors are to rule certain parts of the world, but how strong all 5 of them damn elders must be to rule the entire world. Another thing this makes me think of is Shanks. Everyone felt Saturns presence once he stepped foot on the island. Shanks being in a room with all 5 of them he must know their strength. Maybe he was just holding back the monsters of the world. Keeping some type of balance.

[@C1K450]

Yeah I can’t imagine how his intro would look on anime. The shadow government and I’ll throw out the Holy Knights as well are on a different level of power and we came a long way from seeing different power scales of the Warlords, Yonkos, and Admirals. I think the only characters able to compete against the 5 elders + Imu are Luffy (this is obviously plot armor), Dragon, JoyBoy, Roger, Xebec, and I’ll throw in Shanks and Blackbeard because those are the only two remaining Yonkos (sorry Buggy) that is able to witness a formidable character like Saturn to appear in the OP story and are probably not gonna battle, but will have a short clash before stuff hits the fan.

Like when she turned Vegapunk into a kid, he still had the mind of and old man and it didn't affect the actions and events of his life.

I love this chapter review because it’s noticeable how excited you are about the chapter. This chapter is one of the most impactful to me because with Saturn joining the fight it truly feels like One Piece is approaching the climax of the story, a point where every battle will change the world more than the previous arcs have.

My thoughts & opinions of the chapter: 1. I don't expect Bonney to beat Saturn before Luffy could, but I have a feeling that either Sanji or Kuma will take her place just like what Robin did when facing Black Maria. 2. Despite what form Saturn took on, I can't help but feel that Luffy's potential fight with him will become a One Piece version of Gilgamesh & Enkidu's fight! And just to be clear, I am not referring the ones from Fate Grand Order, but rather the Ancient Babylonian figures they were based on. 3. When Sanji learned that Bonney was Kuma's daughter, I do wonder what his reaction was.

I've been mostly against the idea that Luffy will actively take down the world government since it didn't seem very in character for him, but this arc might be their way of showing how big a threat those at the top really are for the entire world. Also since Luffy's power is a mythical Zoan modeled after a god, then I think the 5 elders having mythical Zoans modeled after demons would make a crazy amount of sense, especially with how desperate they were to keep Nika from returning.

[@AspieMemoires]

It makes so much sense now, all of the Gorosei are probably literal demonic entities from mythology across the world. Making it ironic they call themselves Saints. This could also potentially make it that Imu’s fruit is definitely the demonic antithesis to Nika. Yes he is Sun God Nika but his fruit carry’s the power of imagination/dreams. Making Imu’s counter fruit maybe being based on Nightmares somehow. Also, the numbers of the demonic summoning sigil as I’m calling it, remind me of the pacifistas and Seraphim. Maybe from the ancient kingdom instead. Made by Imu or taken over by Imu.

[@bennypmo]

Alright, it's time for a good old-fashioned fan prediction.... 1. Marcus Mars is an Istumade, a bird yokai that appears after natural disasters... fitting for the Warrior God of Environment. Think Quetzalcoatl. 2. Shepherd Ju Peter is a Dorotabo, a mud zombie that arises from neglected fields... good for the Warrior God of Agriculture 3. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro is the long neck one... hmm.. this is a tough one, there is a lot of long neck yokai... my guess he is a Mikoshi-nyudo only because he is bald.. but I can't think of finance theme to match. 4.

It’s crazy how a dark turn One Piece took in the story. It went from “fun, pirate adventure!” Into Luffy is the man who has to defeat the One Piece version of the Illuminati who views themselves as gods (in this case they could be gods/demons). I’m curious if the Yonkos (both current and former members) in their primes were able to combat a 5 elder or even Imu. I also can’t wait for Dragon and the Holy Knights to showcase their abilities. There are so many people in One Piece it’s hard to power scale or at least display their full potentials.

Considering the crazy lack of reasoning with some of these One Piece names, I am shocked that Clamshell on a stick actually isn’t his name 😂

[@sonofcronos7831]

Well he and the others considered the devil fruit of Nika a legend "even to them", and Ivankov and Sabo discussed how only Im is imortal and alive for 800 years, not the Gorosei. So it could be one way or the other. Maybe the gorosei are not imortal, but their fruits are passed from generation to generation, thus the demons of 800 years ago are still alive but with new bodies.
