Mary Geoise Mary Geoise, the capital of the World Government, houses its leaders and the Celestial Dragons, as well as the God's Knights. It hosts the Levely, a council of royalties held every four years. Situated atop the Red Line, it connects the Grand Line, allowing passage only to law-abiding individuals—criminals must navigate through Fish-Man Island instead. Although proclaimed as the world's center and unwelcoming to criminals, some notorious figures have either ignored these restrictions or received temporary exemptions from the law. Geography Mary Geoise features an 18th and 19th century European architectural style, housing the World Nobles. Perched high above sea level, it is enveloped in clouds and fog, surrounded by artificially cultivated forests and mysterious water sources. The city relies on conveyor belt walkways, operated by slave labor, for movement. Access from the Red Port is via Bondolas, boat-like elevators that transport visitors to long staircases adorned with statues leading into the city. At its core lies a main intersection connecting the Red Ports, Pangaea Castle, and the Domain of the Gods, home to the World Nobles. Each of the four cardinal directions has a massive gate akin to castle walls. However, its elevation offers no protection against food shortages, making it vulnerable to attacks from the Revolutionary Army. Pangaea Castle Pangaea Castle is a vast fortress in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, serving as the World Government's headquarters for leaders, including the Five Elders, Garling, and Commander-in-Chief Kong, where Levely convenes every four years. Layout Pangaea Castle boasts a high level of security, encircled by a wall with three heavily guarded gates. Among them is the Celestial Dragon Gate, positioned adjacent to the Domain of the Gods inhabited by the Celestial Dragons. The remaining gates provide access to paths leading down the Red Line. Two moats separate the gates from the castle, with bridges allowing passage over them. The castle features Victorian architecture, with its outer section bordering the moat and a large outdoor space atop the roof. The front displays a vast plaza, while the inner castle, located at the back, is also fully roofed and resembles its outer counterpart. Both sections feature towers, with the inner towers slightly taller, creating the illusion of a unified structure. Locations Empty Throne Room The Empty Throne in Mary Geoise symbolizes peace and the commitment of royal families to avoid personal dominion. This ornate red and gold throne is situated on a three-level platform adorned with 20 weapons representing the founders of the World Government. Officially vacant, it is occupied by the enigmatic Imu, whose power surpasses that of the kneeling Five Elders. The throne features lion-head armrests and is designed for a large individual, signifying the gravity of its occupant's authority. The platform’s weapons reflect the founding kingdoms, with the Arabasta Kingdom's absence noted, as Queen Nefertari Lili refused to become a World Noble. While the public remains largely unaware, the throne underscores the fragile balance of power among nations. During Levely, royals pledge not to claim the throne, promoting collective governance. Symbolically, it has existed for 800 years, protecting the 20 founding kingdoms, but there are only 19 weapons due to Lili's stance. The prevailing belief maintains that no one, not even the Five Elders, can sit on this throne, embodying equality. In truth, Imu secretly rules, and the Five Elders, alongside Imu, eliminate anyone aware of this secret to maintain the facade of equality. Room of Authority The Room of Authority, also known as the Chamber of Power, is where the Five Elders convene and hold audiences. It features a large, opulent design with tall windows and a uniquely patterned floor. Furnished with two couches, a chair, and two tables laden with papers, access to this room is highly restricted, prohibiting even Celestial Dragons and God's Knights from entering freely. Commander-in-Chief's Office Inside the castle is the office of the Commander-in-Chief of the World Government. It is a large hall surrounded by an aquarium with Sea Royals. There, Kong has a spherical chair at his desk, while Sengoku and Garp come to resign from their positions. Room of Flowers The Flower Room is a bright space filled with plant life, including grass, trees and flowers, with butterflies flying around. The plants are wild and unkempt, with ivy on the walls. Imu often spends her time here, near a portrait of Nefertari D. Lili. Socializing Plaza The Socializing Plaza is an outdoor area atop the castle, where royals mingle before the Levely. It includes numerous tables for dining and a fountain, enhancing the social atmosphere. Guest Room The Guest Room features arched pillars and brick walls, furnished like a living room. Vivi was taken there after being captured by CP0 and Wapol. Meeting Rooms Inside the castle is a council room where Marines convene with the Seven Warlords of the Sea, featuring a large circular table adjacent to a balcony. Additionally, a Levely meeting room holds a massive circular table, with a symbol of the World Government, though changes over the years remain unclear. Sanctuary In the castle, a courtyard features a large pond with fountains, surrounded by cypresses; Spandam met the Five Elders here. Chambers The castle houses a secret room known as the Lost Chamber, where people are said to disappear upon discovering it. Deep within, there is an icy chamber that holds a huge straw hat in one of its alcoves. Imu was seen checking out the hat, but it has not been confirmed if this is related to the Lost Chamber. Domain of the Gods The Domain of the Gods is home to the World Nobles and their slaves, characterized by large mansions, trees, and a fountain. It occupies most of Mary Geoise and features notable public art, such as the statue of the World Nobles' symbol, the "Hoof of the Flying Dragon," alongside a storage facility for high-quality food. Both the statue and the facility were destroyed in an attack by the Revolutionary Army. Celestial Dragon Gate The Celestial Dragon Gate, a large, heavily guarded passageway outside Pangaea Castle, leads to the Domain of the Gods. Marked by the "Hoof of the Flying Dragon," its exclusively accessible to World Nobles, guarded by World Government personnel. The Five Elders are the highest-ranking Celestial Dragons who serve as the"Highest Authorities of the World Gov’t".They oversee and hold great authority over the world,with the real power held by Imu,the government's shadow ruler. The Elders have political sway over the World Gov’t,its agencies,and military branches,including Cipher Pol,the Marines,and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.Its unknown how they acquired their positions or how long they’ve been in power.They’re often found in the Room of Authority in Pangaea Castle.The Five Elders, particularly Jaygarcia Saturn,are key antagonists in the Egghead Arc and are considered among the main antagonists in the Final Saga and the One Piece series as a whole.The Five Elders are five World Nobles who hold significant authority.The original members,including Jaygarcia Saturn and Marcus Mars,were introduced during the Jaya Arc.Jaygarcia Saturn has served for centuries and witnessed events like Emet's attack on Mary Geoise. Imu can appoint new Elders,with Figarland Garling succeeding Saturn after the Egghead Incident.The duties and title of the old Elder are passed to the new one. Overview The Five Elders, despite being Celestial Dragons, don’t wear the traditional full-body white suit or bubble/glass case over their heads. Initially, Garling wore the robes but switched to business attire to align with the others.They’re all tall and wear high-quality clothes from Nyornyo Nyarmani. Their main concerns are protecting against piracy and upholding the World Government's public image.They have ordered brutal actions to maintain power and authority, such as killing to hide the Void Century's discovery.Each Elder oversees a specific political area and holds the title Warrior God.They primarily engage in executive governance,leaving legislative actions to the Council of Kings.Unlike typical World Nobles,they show respect and concern for global issues and display remorse for their harsh decisions.While they can be extreme,they show a level of tolerance by engaging in debates rather than resorting to violence.Unlike other Celestial Dragons,they don’t use "-eh" at the end of their sentences.In summary,the Five Elders,as powerful political figures,prioritize the government's interests,uphold a secretive and oppressive reputation,and demonstrate a level of responsibility and remorse not commonly seen among their counterparts.The Elders of the World Government have different criteria for decision-making,often questioning each other's choices.They once sent a CP0 agent as a scapegoat to ensure Luffy's defeat,despite conflicting opinions on the matter.Food provided to them undergoes strict inspection to prevent poisoning due to their extreme paranoia and high political status.The Elders are mostly secluded in Pangaea Castle,making their existence almost mythical to the outside world,with people only knowing them through portraits or rumors of their presence in Mary Geoise.This secrecy causes panic and surprise when an Elder ventures outside of Mary Geoise.Their underlings are ordered to keep their presence confidential,only revealing it to a select few.Only high-ranking Marines are allowed to witness them,with death as punishment for any infringement.Even other Celestial Dragons must show utmost respect to the Elders,and access to the Room of Authority,their usual residence,is heavily restricted.The Elders' secretive nature and strict protocols create an aura of fear and reverence among those who know of their existence. Relationships Imu The Five Elders, esteemed authorities in the World Government,ultimately answer to Imu,the ruler and occupant of the Empty Throne.They’re fiercely loyal to Imu and seek guidance from them on matters of erasing history and carrying out oppressive tyranny. Their obedience to Imu is unwavering, as they will execute any command without question,including wiping out kingdoms or eliminating individuals.They guard Imu's secrecy fiercely, resorting to eradication and assassination to maintain their status as the highest authority.Even though they revere Imu as"the Creator"and carry out their orders diligently,the Elders aren’t immune to Imu's punishment,as evidenced by the replacement of Saturn by Saint Figarland Garling.This unexpected change in leadership shocked the other Elders,highlighting the fragile nature of their loyalty to Imu. Marines Sakazuki The World Government falsely announced Doflamingo's resignation from Warlords, angering Sakazuki. He criticized Five Elders for protecting him and tarnishing Marine's reputation. CP0's actions pushed Sakazuki to insult and mock the Elders, showing his disagreement with their decisions. Sakazuki's limits were tested, revealing his defiance towards their authority. Nefertari Family The Five Elders, despite being descendants of the founders of the World Government, view the Nefertari Family as traitors for choosing to remain in Arabasta rather than relocate to Mary Geoise with other monarchs. They hide their hostility towards the family but reveal it during an audience with Cobra, leading to his death. They now target Vivi, who they believe bears the Will of D. Enemies Monkey D. Luffy The Five Elders harbor a deep grudge against Monkey D. Luffy due to his lineage as Dragon's son and the chaos caused by him and his crew. This includes saving Nico Robin, confronting Saint Charlos, freeing prisoners from Impel Down, disrupting the Marineford War, and defeating powerful enemies like Crocodile, Moria, and Doflamingo. Recognizing Luffy's strength and potential as Garp's grandson, they feared his future clash with Emperor Kaidou. To prevent this, they tasked CP0 with eliminating him, believing his Devil Fruit's awakening posed a grave threat. However, their plan failed as Luffy not only awakened his power but also defeated Kaidou. When Luffy interfered with their plans by capturing York, the Elders tried to extract vital information from him with no success. Saturn, a member of the group, confronted Luffy in battle but was overpowered, requiring assistance from his fellow Elders. Despite their combined efforts, Luffy managed to escape with the help of Emet, utilizing Conqueror's Haki. The Elders, particularly Saturn, viewed Luffy as a dangerous adversary and made multiple attempts to eliminate him, only to be thwarted by Luffy's resilience and allies. Nico Robin The Five Elders are interested in Nico Robin because of her ties to the Ohara Incident and her knowledge of the Poneglyphs. They view her as a threat and want to eliminate her to prevent the uncovering of the True History and access to the One Piece. They order CP0-agents to capture her but later change their orders to eliminate her. When they confront Robin on Egghead, she hangs up on them. Saturn also targets Robin for elimination, leading to a clash with the Straw Hat Pirates who protect her. Despite their efforts, Robin manages to escape from the Elders. Clover and Ohara Archaeologists The council praised the Ohara archaeologist for seeking truth but criticized his "distorted" vision. The Five Elders opposed the archaeologists' research on the Void Century, leading to their deaths. Although they regretted the decision, they ordered the killings. Mars appeared troubled by the situation. Sabo Sabo caught the Five Elders' attention and anger by saving Nefertari Cobra from an assassination attempt at Mary Geoise's Throne Room. They were frustrated when Sabo escaped after seeing Imu on the Empty Throne, becoming their top enemy. They noticed his connections to multiple D. members, realizing his fate was intertwined with theirs. Dr. Vegapunk Dr. Vegapunk, winner of the Ibel Peace Prize, was recruited by the military as a scientist. He worked on various projects such as the Pacifista Program and the Mother Flame replication. The Elders closely supervised him, pushing him to abandon his morals. When his research on the Void Century was discovered, they sought to eliminate him, but allowed his assistant York to live in exchange for her cooperation. Despite their control over him, Vegapunk secretly granted authority to Jewelry Bonney over the Pacifista, angering Saturn who ultimately killed him. Vegapunk's revelation about the world's truths caused panic among the Elders, leading them to leave Mary Geoise. They were unable to prevent the broadcast of Vegapunk's message, leading to their frustration and self-reflection on their failures. Nusjuro criticized Vegapunk's rebellion against the Elders, while Mars pointed out the irony in Vegapunk's belief in fate and cursed him for outsmarting their attempts to stop the message. The Elders considered Vegapunk's actions a significant failure on their part. Other Shanks Despite Shanks being a pirate, the Five Elders respected him and granted him an audience in Mary Geoise, incorporating him into their political plans. Abilities and Powers The Five Elders are powerful figures who are feared for their strength in both ruling and fighting, embodying the World Nobles' god-like reputation. They are rarely seen in public, only allowing those of high rank like Rear Admirals to be in their presence. When a Marine of lower rank looked at Saturn, their head exploded. The Elders have met with Four Emperors without concern and have even battled with Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates. They have control over the Pacifista and Seraphim, surpassing even their creator, Dr. Vegapunk, though Jewelry Bonney holds some authority over Kuma-formed Pacifista due to Vegapunk's interference. Political Authority The Five Elders are the highest authorities in the World Government, members of the Celestial Dragons with near-total impunity. They can order a Buster Call, summon Marine Admirals, and control Cipher Pol units. All are under their authority, including the fleet admiral of the Marines. The Elders disregarded Sakazuki's grievances and reminded him of his place. Vice Admiral Doberman was injured for speaking an inconvenient truth. They influence information flow, covering up news and erasing inconvenient legacies. They failed to cover up the Void Century and renamed fruits like the Hito Hito no Mi. Their influence depends on news publishers and loyal Marines. They are ultimately subordinate to Imu, the occupier of the Empty Throne, who commands them. Emporio Ivankov learned of Imu's existence, wondering who could wield such power over the Elders. It is believed only an original member of the First Twenty could hold that position. The Elders may not realize the need to cover something up until it is already public knowledge. Lower-ranking Marines sometimes spread information before it can be controlled by the Elders. The Elders' power reaches deep into history, shaping the narrative of the world government and controlling the flow of information. Telepathy Five Elders have psychic connection with each other and Imu, enabling telepathic communication even across different parts of the world. Immortality The Elders are shown to possess immortality, living for centuries without aging and being resistant to age-changing abilities. They can regenerate from any injury, such as Peter recovering from decapitation and torso separation, and Saturn healing from being punched full of holes. Pirate captain Brogy was amazed by this ability. It is unclear why some Elders still have visible scars. Their immortality may come from Imu, as seen when Saturn was stripped of his immortality and killed, resulting in a dark energy explosion that turned him into a skeleton. The exact source of their immortality remains unknown. Magic Circle The Five Elders use magic circles as portals to travel, with pentagrams and fiery energy. Saturn can transport himself and create multiple circles to summon others. A burst of Supreme King Haki can cancel out the effects of the magic circles, returning those summoned to their starting point. Devil Fruits The original Five Elders possess Devil Fruit powers of the Mythical Zoan variety and have successfully awakened these powers, enhancing their physical abilities while retaining their minds. They were able to withstand attacks from Sabo and forced him to retreat. Their Beast Forms are massive, some even larger than giants, and each Elder has unique abilities. Three of the current Elders can transform into demon-beasts from East Asian mythology: Saturn into a Gyuki, Mars into an Itsumade, and Warcury into a Fengxi. Nusjuro transforms into a Bakotsu, while Peter can become a Sandworm. The full names of their Zoan fruit models have not been disclosed. The original Five Elders seem to have Devil Fruit powers of the Mythical Zoan variety. Additionally, all five of the previous Elders achieved successful Devil Fruit awakening, granting them increases in their physical capabilities while maintaining their minds.While transformed, they were able to take a direct hit from Sabo's giant fire fist and remain unscathed, subsequently forcing the Revolutionary Army's "No. 2" to flee for his life.[7] Their Beast Forms are massive in size, with some of them even dwarfing giants. Additionally, being Mythical Zoans, they each have their own unique abilities.Of the five current Elders, three of their Zoan abilities are based on demon-beasts from East Asian myth (though, the full names of their Zoan fruit models have not been given, only the specific creatures they turn into): Saturn was able to turn into a Gyuki: a massive ox-spider yōkai. Mars can turn into an Itsumade: a monstrous bird yōkai that is part-snake. Warcury can turn into a Fengxi: a monstrous, four-tusked boar yāoguài. Nusjuro can turn into a Bakotsu: a skeletal, seemingly undead horse yōkai. Peter can turn into a Sandworm: a giant worm monster that can burrow through the earth. Haki All Five Elders have strong Haki abilities, noted by powerful individuals like Zoro, Lucci, and Jinbe on Egghead island. All the Elders have showcased different types of Haki: Observation, Armament, and Supreme King Haki. Saturn displayed both the Supreme King and Observation Haki while alive. Members Saint Marcus Mars Appearance Mars is a very tall and thin, elderly man with long white hair, including a mustache and goatee which reach down to his upper chest. He wears a black (navy blue in the anime and colored manga) suit over a black tie and a white buttoned shirt, as well as navy blue pants. Personality Mars, one of the Elders, values the balance maintained by the Three Great Powers and the secrecy of the Void Century. He orders the destruction of anyone studying it and obey's Imu's orders without question. Despite his callousness, he showed grief when ordering the killing of scholars. Mars views the Nefertari Family as traitors for rejecting life on Mary Geoise. He has a calm demeanor and is discerning, keeping profiles on people like Shanks and Blackbeard. Mars has little tolerance for challenges to his authority, as seen in meetings with Sakazuki. He lacks regard for human lives, as shown when he couldn't guarantee the survival of Cipher Pol members during a Buster Call. When under pressure, Mars can act recklessly, as seen when he considered destroying a lab to stop a message transmission. Despite his flaws, he commended Lucci's work. Overall, Mars plays a significant role in maintaining the balance of power and secrecy within the World Government, even if his actions are sometimes ruthless and reckless. Abilities and Powers Mars, a member of the Five Elders, holds the highest authority in the World Government above even the World Nobles. He controls every aspect of the Government, including the police, Marines, and Cipher Pol. Even the Fleet Admiral is unable to challenge his power. Mars and the Elders can declare a Buster Call and manipulate the media, withholding information from the public, such as erasing parts of history like the Void Century. They also have authority over Pacifista and Seraphim, surpassing even their creator, Dr. Vegapunk. The only one known to outrank the World Nobles is Imu. Unique Powers Mars, one of the Five Elders, possesses esoteric abilities, with the source being possibly linked to his Devil Fruit power. He displays some level of telepathy, particularly among the Elders. They communicate with each other across long distances, such as reaching Saturn on Egghead from Mary Geoise. Mars can be summoned through a magical circle resembling a portal, with a pentagram and a sequence of numbers. It is unknown if he can create these portals independently like Saturn or requires Saturn's presence. Devil Fruit Mars gained the ability to transform into a Mythical Zoan-type Itsumade Devil Fruit, turning into a giant monster bird with human-like features and the power to withstand attacks. He can switch between his human and Itsumade forms at will, maintaining his personality. In his full Beast Form, Mars can fly, move quickly, and shoot powerful energy beams from his mouth. He is immune to laser beams and can easily destroy metal structures with his flames.Mars acquired the power of a Mythical Zoan-type Itsumade Devil Fruit, which lets him transform into an Itsumade—a giant monster bird with a serpentine body and human-like face with sharp teeth—plus a human-Itsumade hybrid at will. Mars appears to have "awakened" this ability while maintaining his personality, as indicated by the ribbon of dark, flaming smoke around his shoulders and torso when he is transformed.In this form, he could withstand a point-blank blast of fire from Sabo without difficulty.In his full Beast Form, Mars can fly freely and was able to reach the Labophase layer of Egghead quickly, piercing through the Frontier Dome while being unaffected by being shot by laser beams.For offense, Mars is able to fire a powerful energy beam directly from his mouth,which can easily destroy metal structures and ignite flames capable of burning giants. Haki Mars, like other Elders, has strong Haki. His arrival on Egghead released black lightning. Jinbe felt startled by Mars' Haki. Conqueror's haki Mars is one of the very few people in the world who has the ability to use Supreme King Haki. He used it to knock several Den Den Mushi unconscious. Observation Haki Mars is a very skilled user of Observation Haki. As he used it to detect the Den Den Mushi concealed inside Punk Records. Weapons Mars carries a flintlock, which he intended to use to execute Nefertari Cobra for seeing Imu. Saint Topman Warcury Appearance Warcury is a bald elderly obese man who has a very large white mustache as well as birthmark spots on his forehead and right cheek. He wears a black suit over a black tie and a white buttoned shirt, as well as black pants. In the anime, he initially had a short white beard, but lost it after the timeskip. Personality Warcury, like the other Elders, is concerned with maintaining balance in the world through the Three Great Powers. He is patient, observing potentially threatening actions without immediate intervention. He condemned Crocodile and Monkey D. Luffy for upsetting the balance, particularly when Luffy removed Crocodile from the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Warcury also prioritizes preserving the World Government's image by keeping the Void Century events secret and destroying anyone who studies it. He takes authority seriously, disapproving of Aokiji's independence and reminding Sakazuki of his failures. Warcury believes in harsh punishment for rebellion, exemplified by the annihilation of the Lulusia Kingdom. Despite showing some concern for lives, he ultimately follows Imu's orders without hesitation. He values racial harmony, being disappointed in Jinbe's resignation impacting human-fish-men relations. Warcury's actions reflect a commitment to order and authority within the world's power structure. Abilities and Powers As a Five Elder, Warcury holds the "highest authority of the World Government", surpassing even the World Nobles. He commands control over all aspects of the government, including the police, Marines, and Cipher Pol. The Fleet Admiral of the Marines cannot challenge his power, allowing Warcury to declare a Buster Call and manipulate information to the public. Along with the other Elders, he has authority over Pacifista and Seraphim, created by Dr. Vegapunk. Warcury also possesses strong willpower, remaining unaffected by Joy Boy's Supreme King Haki. The only known individual with superior authority to the World Nobles is Imu. Unique Powers Warcury, one of the Five Elders, possesses esoteric abilities of unclear origin, possibly linked to his Devil Fruit. He exhibits telepathy with other Elders, communicating with Saturn from a distance. Warcury can be summoned through a "Magic Circle" portal, with potential abilities to create portals like Saturn. In his Zoan form, he displays rapid healing capabilities, recovering instantly from injuries and regrowing broken tusks. Luffy describes Warcury and the other Elders as immortal. Overall, Warcury's powers include telepathy, portal summoning, and accelerated healing, showing his formidable strength and mysterious abilities as one of the Five Elders. Devil Fruit Warcury has obtained the Mythical Zoan-type Fengxi Devil Fruit, allowing him to transform into a fengxi or a human-fengxi hybrid at will. In his full Beast form, he resembles a giant four-tusked boar demon and has immense size and strength. Warcury can unleash powerful Haki-infused roars and use his tusks as massive blades for offense. Despite his massive size, he is surprisingly agile and can tackle opponents with great force. His transformation grants him a tough hide, enabling him to withstand attacks that would harm others, such as a point-blank fire attack from Sabo. Even Luffy, in his strongest form, struggled to harm Warcury. The only one who has been able to cause significant damage to Warcury so far is the colossal Iron Giant. Warcury's resilience and strength make him a formidable opponent in battle. Haki Conqueror's haki Warcury is one of the very few people in the world who wield Supreme King Haki. He is able to unleash it in large-scale bursts with a powerful roar in his Beast Form. This specific employment of Haki was strong enough to disorient the giants Dorry and Brogy, affect Luffy's awakened body in a rather bizarre manner, and knock unconscious several Marine soldiers that were many kilometers away. Observation Haki Warcury is a very skilled user of Observation Haki, as he was able to sense Luffy's and Bonney's transformations into Nika. Weapons Warcury carries a flintlock, which he intended to use to execute Nefertari Cobra for seeing Imu. Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro Appearance Nusjuro, like the other Elders, is an old man with a pale-grayish complexion and no head or facial hair. He stands tall with a wrinkled face, thin eyebrows, and metal-frame glasses. Unlike the other Elders, he wears a loose white keikogi with a golden obi and beige geta sandals, revealing his chest and abdomen. He always carries his personal katana in his hand, not in his obi. Personality Nusjuro, like the other Elders, is dedicated to maintaining the balance in the world controlled by the Three Great Powers. He values the importance of each Warlord and was deeply troubled by the loss of three during the Summit War of Marineford. He is committed to keeping the events of the Void Century a secret and will go to great lengths, including destruction, to ensure this. Recognizing that the current balance may not be sustainable, he suggests a "cleansing" is necessary. He sees the Will of D. as dangerous and is uncomfortable with its widespread knowledge. Nusjuro is intolerant of challenges to his authority, as seen in his meeting with Fleet Admiral Sakazuki. Despite his callousness, he shows some care for the World Government's assets and is knowledgeable and respectful of swords. He is familiar with Zunesha, Zou, and Wano Country and understands the significance of their actions. Nusjuro's actions and decisions are driven by his dedication to maintaining the delicate balance orchestrated by the Three Great Powers. Abilities and Powers Nusjuro, one of the Five Elders, holds the highest authority in the World Government above the World Nobles. He controls all aspects of the government, including the police, Marines, and Cipher Pol. Even the Fleet Admiral cannot challenge his power. He has the authority to declare a Buster Call and manipulate the global media, erasing parts of history such as the Void Century. Nusjuro and the Elders have authority over Pacifista and Seraphim, with knowledge on how to incapacitate them. Only Imu secretly outranks them. Nusjuro also has strong willpower, staying conscious after being affected by Joy Boy's Supreme King Haki. His full knowledge and capabilities remain unknown. Unique Powers Nusjuro, one of the Five Elders, has exhibited mysterious abilities possibly linked to his Devil Fruit. He displays telepathy, allowing communication with other Elders and even a distant party. Nusjuro can summon himself through a magical portal on Egghead, though it is unclear if he can do so independently or requires assistance. Additionally, he possesses rapid healing capabilities, instantly recovering from severe injuries. These unique talents showcase Nusjuro's formidable nature and enigmatic powers as one of the Elders. Devil Fruit Nusjuro has gained the ability to transform into a Mythical Zoan-type Bakotsu Devil Fruit, allowing him to become a skeletal horse, a human-bakotsu hybrid, and a full beast at will. He has displayed great strength and speed in his transformed states, withstanding powerful attacks and cutting down foes with ease. Additionally, he can create ice with his power and imbue his sword with it to freeze his targets. Nusjuro can also deliver strong kicks and bite down on enemies as a full Bakotsu. His unique transformation sequence involves his human portion being set ablaze while the Bakotsu's head emerges to replace it. Swordsmanship Nusjuro, an expert swordsman, can deliver precise slashes in quick succession in his Human-Beast Form. By infusing his blade with ice through his fruit ability, he disabled Pacifista with internal damage. His swordsmanship is so remarkable that giants claim he can cut through anything and even split apart Egghead's Labophase layer with a powerful air slash. Haki Nusjuro, like the other Elders, possesses powerful Armament and Observation Haki, with a presence described as "overwhelming". He can imbue his sword with Armament Haki, blocking and clashing evenly with high-grade Meito wielded by Zoro. He is also skilled in sensing life signs using Observation Haki. Upon his arrival on Egghead, his Haki manifested as black lightning, noticed by Zoro and Rob Lucci. Weapon Nusjuro uses a long katana from the Kitetsu sword line with a wooden saya and a tsuba in a cross pattée style. He polishes the blade with a silk ball and the sword grows with him when he transforms into his Human-Beast form. Saint Shepherd Ju Peter Appearance Peter is a tan-skinned man with white hair and a chin curtain beard. He is the second tallest of the Five Elders and wears a plain black suit with a white dress shirt. He is the youngest-looking of the Elders, with no visible facial wrinkles. Peter's suit exposes a scar on his chest that runs from his lower cervical area to his right armpit. He is taller than Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, standing well over 3 meters tall. Personality Peter, like the other Elders, is dedicated to maintaining the world's balance through the Three Great Powers. He is determined to prevent chaos by upholding this balance and is cautious about the impact of vacancies among the Seven Warlords and Four Emperors. Peter is also determined to keep the events of the Void Century a secret to protect the World Government's image, even ordering the destruction of anyone studying it. He is knowledgeable about the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, and takes its threat seriously. Despite obeying Imu's orders, Peter has questioned the reasoning behind certain actions, such as the elimination of an entire country. He was surprised by Imu's decision to replace Saturn with Figarland Garling as one of the Five Elders without consulting the others. Peter is dedicated to protecting and preserving the world's order at all costs. Abilities and Powers Peter is one of the Five Elders, the top-ranking Celestial Dragons who are the "Highest Authority of the World Government". They answer to Imu, who holds the most power from the Empty Throne. Peter controls all aspects of the government, including the Cipher Pol agencies and Marine HQ, with no one able to challenge him, not even the Fleet Admiral. Along with the other Elders, Peter can declare a Buster Call to destroy threatening islands and deploy the Mother Flame to wipe out islands completely. They can manipulate the media to control information, including hiding historical facts like the Void Century. Peter also has immense willpower, able to resist powerful attacks and retain consciousness when others would be knocked out. Unique power Peter, one of the Five Elders, possesses mysterious powers possibly linked to his Devil Fruit. He demonstrates telepathic abilities with his fellow Elders, communicating with distant individuals like Saturn. He can also be summoned through a magical portal and has shown the ability to heal quickly in his Zoan form. His immortality was evidenced when he survived decapitation by Dorry and Brogy, regenerating his body parts. It remains uncertain if he can create portals on his own or if Saturn's presence is necessary for their use. Peter's unique powers hint at a complex and enigmatic character within the world of One Piece. Devil Fruit Peter ate a Zoan-type Sandworm Devil Fruit, granting him the ability to transform into a giant sandworm or a human-sandworm hybrid at will. He has shown great strength and durability in his transformed state, being able to withstand attacks and swallow his opponents whole. The fruit also gives him a vacuum breath ability strong enough to encompass an entire island and its surroundings. Peter can spit out what he has sucked in, potentially causing lethal injuries. Additionally, he can easily dig through the earth and emerge unexpectedly, catching his enemies off guard. His massive mouth allows him to bite through even the toughest substances, making him a formidable opponent. Haki Peter, an Elder with potent Haki, arrived at Egghead with a surge resembling black lightning. His and other Elders' Haki was detected by Zoro and Lucci. His proficiency in Observation Haki allowed him to perceive Luffy and Bonney's transformations into Nika. Weapons Peter carries a flintlock with him, which he intended to use to execute Nefertari Cobra for seeing Imu. Saint Jaygarcia Saturn Appearance Saturn was an elderly man with a thickset build sporting a full white mustache, beard, and dreadlocks. He wore a flat black hat over his dreadlocks and had a scar on his left side. His outfit included a black suit, dark purple tie, white collared shirt, and black pants, carrying a walking cane. Notably, he didn't wear a resin bubble like other World Nobles while outside Mary Geoise, maintaining his appearance for over 200 years. Personality Saturn, an Elder like the others, valued the balance of the Three Great Powers and the secrecy of the Void Century, willing to destroy anyone studying it. He was aware of the threat posed by the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, going to great lengths to prevent its awakening. When faced with global chaos after the fall of Kaidou and Big Mom, he struggled to respond without concealing the truth. Despite his disdain for insubordination, he showed empathy towards figures of merit, regretting the need to eliminate Vegapunk. He thanked Vegapunk for his contributions before threatening him for betrayal, reflecting his scientific curiosity and lust for power. He saw destroying Sea Beast Weapons as wasteful but maintained the Pacifista as a pragmatic choice. His undoing came when he disobeyed orders to study the inactive Emet, leading to "Joy Boy" escaping and his punishment by Imu for losing his immortality. Saturn viewed humans as insignificant insects, emphasizing his cold and calculating nature to achieve his goals.Saturn, like his fellow World Nobles, had a disdain for human life and saw those beneath him as insignificant. His cruel nature was evident in his treatment of Cipher Pol agents, Marines, and even Vice Admirals, whom he referred to as insects. He displayed racism towards the Buccaneer race and had no qualms about experimenting on others, causing them severe illnesses. He manipulated Bartholomew Kuma into becoming a weapon for the government by threatening his daughter and forcing him to become a cyborg. Saturn demanded a self-destruct switch be implanted in Kuma as a precaution. Despite his ruthlessness, he feared death and begged for mercy from Imu. Sanji noted that Saturn, in his beast form, had completely lost his humanity. Overall, Saturn was depicted as a diabolical individual who showed no remorse for his actions and only respected his fellow Elders and Imu. His actions showcased his unrelenting cruelty and disregard for the well-being of others, making him a truly despicable character in the One Piece universe. Relationships Imu Saturn and the Elders of the World Government are considered powerful figures, but they ultimately answer to Imu, the mysterious shadow monarch who sits on the Empty Throne. They hold Imu in high esteem and follow their orders without question, even when it involves erasing entire kingdoms from history. Saturn showed unwavering loyalty to Imu, going as far as holding someone at gunpoint to protect their ruler's identity. Despite his dedication, Saturn's immunity was stripped by Imu as punishment for letting Luffy escape. This led to his death and replacement among the Five Elders. The story highlights the oppressive tyranny of the Government and the complex dynamics of power within it. Marines Sakazuki Saturn and the Five Elders spread false news of Doflamingo's resignation, angering Sakazuki. The Elders protected Doflamingo, disregarding the Marine's reputation. Saturn dismissed Sakazuki's concerns about reputation, belittling him. Saturn blamed Sakazuki for Robin's survival, calling him soft. Sakazuki's defiance was met with disdain from the Elders, who silenced him. Saturn's disdain for Sakazuki was evident in his actions and words. Borsalino Saturn trusts Kizaru to execute orders from the Elders and personally guards him when confronting Vegapunk. Despite initially telling Kizaru to ignore Sentomaru, Saturn allows Kizaru to handle him. However, Saturn is disappointed in Kizaru's failure to carry out Vegapunk's execution, attributing it to Luffy's interference. Little does Saturn know, Kizaru had assisted Luffy by providing food, showing disloyalty. Kuzan Saturn and Warcury were displeased with Aokiji sightseeing while on duty. They both believed his switch to the Blackbeard Pirates tarnished the Marines' reputation. Enemies Monkey D. Luffy Saturn and the Five Elders harbor a deep hatred towards Monkey D. Luffy due to his heritage and the trouble he and his crew have caused, including major incidents like saving Nico Robin and Ace, as well as defeating powerful enemies. They recognize Luffy's strength and view him as a threat to their plans, particularly fearing his potential if he defeats the Emperor Kaidou. They order CP0 to eliminate him, but their plan fails as Luffy awakens his Devil Fruit power and defeats Kaidou.When Luffy disrupts their plans by capturing York, they are formally introduced to him and try to extract information without success. Saturn, witnessing Luffy's power, tries to kill him but fails. Saturn then attempts to detain Luffy, who escapes and returns to face him in battle. Despite Saturn's attempts to defeat Luffy, he is ultimately overpowered.As Luffy faces multiple attacks, a message from Vegapunk activates, leading to Saturn summoning the rest of the Five Elders to deal with Luffy and his allies. When the Giant Warrior Pirates come to Luffy's aid, Saturn vows to erase them from history. However, their efforts fail, and Imu punishes Saturn for his failure by sentencing him to death. In the end, Luffy and his allies manage to escape, leaving Saturn accountable for the defeat. Vegapunk Saturn and the elders recruited Dr. Vegapunk as a military scientist after he received the Ibel Peace Prize, assigning him to various projects like the Pacifista program and the Seraphim. Saturn closely monitored Vegapunk's work and pressured him to abandon his morals. When Vegapunk sought a deal with the pirate Kuma to save his daughter, Saturn intervened and chastised him. Despite Vegapunk's valuable contributions, the elders decided to eliminate him upon discovering his research into the Void Century. Saturn reluctantly agreed, prioritizing Vegapunk's knowledge in Punk Records. Vegapunk, resentful of Saturn's cruelty, detested him. Saturn was outraged to learn that Vegapunk's experiments caused harm to Kuma's loved ones. When an attempt to control Kuma failed, Saturn deemed both men useless. Upon discovering that Vegapunk had made Bonney the top authority in the Pacifista hierarchy, surpassing the Five Elders, Saturn flew into a rage and attacked the scientist. Bartholomew Kuma Saturn has a long history with Bartholomew Kuma, starting 38 years ago when he oversaw Kuma as a slave on God Valley. Kuma questioned why he was born a slave, leading to Saturn's harsh treatment. Despite Kuma becoming king of Sorbet and planning to work with Vegapunk, Saturn manipulated him into becoming a Pacifista for the government. After Kuma's rescue by revolutionaries, Saturn tried to kill him but failed due to Kuma's resistance to commands. During the Egghead Incident, Saturn's hatred for Kuma intensified, resulting in a confrontation where Kuma ultimately thwarted his plans. Saturn's relentless pursuit of Kuma showcases his role as the "devil" in Kuma's life, using manipulation and force to control him. Despite his efforts, Saturn's plans ultimately fail as Kuma proves to be resilient and independent. The conflict between Saturn and Kuma highlights the themes of power, manipulation, and resilience in their tumultuous relationship over the years. Jewelry Bonney Saturn caused Jewelry Bonney to contract the Sapphire Scales disease by experimenting on her mother when she was a baby, leading to her being used as a hostage by him four years ago to turn Kuma into a weapon. Despite Bonney becoming famous as a Super Rookie, Saturn saw her as expendable until she discovered his connection to Vegapunk and Kuma, prompting her to stab him. Saturn retaliated by revealing he gave her Devil Fruit powers and caused her mother's illness. He tried to kill her, but Kuma saved her and Luffy intervened, allowing Bonney to escape. Saturn's attempts to eliminate her were thwarted, and she successfully fled from him and the other Elders. Sabo Sabo, previously unknown to Saturn, caught the attention of the Five Elders and Imu by saving Nefertari Cobra from an assassination attempt in the Throne Room at Mary Geoise. They were frustrated when he escaped after witnessing Imu on the Empty Throne, making him their top enemy. They observed Sabo's connection to other D. descendants, seeing his fate intertwined with them. Other Shanks Despite Shanks being a pirate, Five Elders including Saturn showed respect, allowing him an audience in Mary Geoise, indicating a willingness to consider him politically. Abilities and Powers Saturn, one of the Five Elders, holds immense power within the World Government, outranked only by Imu. He controls all aspects of the government, including the Marines and Cipher Pol agencies, and can order the destruction of entire islands. He manipulates the media to control information and has authority over creations like the Pacifista and Seraphim. As an Elder, he is so powerful that even lower-ranking Marines are forbidden to look at him. In terms of combat, Saturn and the other Elders are formidable fighters, confident in facing powerful opponents like Shanks. Saturn's apparent immortality allows him to withstand attacks effortlessly, even from formidable foes like Luffy. He also possesses incredible willpower, remaining conscious even in the face of powerful Haki attacks. Despite his immense power and authority, Saturn is not without his vulnerabilities, as seen when Vegapunk's meddling limits his control over certain creations like the Kuma-formed Pacifista. Physical Abilities Saturn displayed exceptional endurance due to his immortality and regeneration, surviving attacks from Jewelry Bonney and Bartholomew Kuma without flinching. Even being shot by Franky's Radical Beam did not faze him. Additionally, he had the strength to destroy machinery with his cane. Scientific Expertise Saturn, the Warrior God of Science and Defense, had authority over scientific endeavors of the World Government and conducted unethical human experimentation using Devil Fruits. Confident in his intelligence, he believed Vegapunk couldn't deceive him regarding cyborg modifications on Kuma. However, Saturn was mistaken, as Vegapunk tricked him with a self-destruct switch that only shut Kuma down. He also failed to predict Vegapunk giving Jewelry Bonney command over the Pacifista weapons. Saturn successfully extracted the Toshi Toshi no Mi essence to grant powers to a young Bonney. Despite his accomplishments, he struggled with the Sapphire Scales issue in Ginny, showing his limitations compared to Vegapunk. Saturn's scientific prowess was formidable, but not without its flaws and oversights. Unique Powers Saturn possesses esoteric abilities and traits that are connected to his Devil Fruit, although the exact extent of this link is currently uncertain. He appears to age slowly or not at all, as evidenced by his unchanged appearance over centuries and immunity to age-changing powers. Imu has the ability to manipulate his longevity, aging him rapidly as a form of punishment. In his Zoan forms, Saturn displays exceptional healing capabilities, regenerating from severe injuries almost instantly. He can summon magic circles to teleport himself and others, with limitations on range and susceptibility to bursts of Haki. His arrival on Egghead through a magic circle is marked by an otherworldly display of power, attracting attention from formidable fighters. Luffy believes Saturn and the other Elders possess a form of immortality due to their resilience against various attacks.Saturn, in both his Beast and human forms, displayed telepathic abilities with his fellow Elders and Imu. He can project an invisible force resembling telekinesis, capable of injuring, knocking back, and immobilizing others without physical movement. This power is activated by his glowing eyes and has been speculated by Vegapunk to be linked to a Devil Fruit ability. These abilities have proven effective against powerful individuals like Jewelry Bonney, Sanji, and Atlas, but Luffy was able to resist them in his Gear 5 form. Saturn's telepathy allows communication over long distances, seen when he contacted his Elders from Egghead to Mary Geoise. Despite being in human form, Saturn maintains this form of communication with Imu. His telekinetic abilities demonstrate a dangerous and formidable power that poses a threat even to strong opponents. Devil Fruit Saturn possessed the power of a Mythical Zoan-type Gyuki Devil Fruit, allowing him to transform into a monstrous bull-spider or a human-gyuki hybrid at will. He maintained his personality while transformed, with a ribbon of dark, flaming smoke surrounding him. In his hybrid form, Saturn was massive and strong enough to hold Jewelry Bonney and tower over Bartholomew Kuma. He was durable enough to withstand attacks from Sabo and could injure Bonney. His main offensive tactic was using his sharp legs to impale enemies, even piercing Kuma's body. In his full "Beast" form, Saturn was a horned spider-like creature excreting corrosive poison from his legs. He could spin his body for flight and spit venomous orbs for explosions. Overall, Saturn's abilities included strength, durability, venomous attacks, and flight, making him a formidable opponent. Haki Saturn, like other Elders, was known for his powerful Haki. His arrival on Egghead was marked by a burst of black lightning Haki sensed by Zoro and Lucci from a far distance. He was skilled in both Supreme King Haki, knocking out Den Den Mushi, and Observation Haki, detecting them inside Labophase. His Haki abilities were described as massive and impressive. Weapons Saturn carries a flintlock pistol and can use his cane to destroy small objects. It is uncertain if this has practical combat use. His cane can grow in size with him, as seen in his human-beast form. Saint Figarland Garling Appearance Garling is an elderly man with a tall, well-built stature, a wrinkled face, and an aquiline nose. He has long, pale-blond hair styled into distinct spikes on his head and a unique facial hair arrangement resembling a crescent moon from the side and a four-pointed star from the front. As a God's Knight, he wore a red suit with a black coat, boots, and red sunglasses. Upon becoming one of the Five Elders, he switched to a dark suit with a cape, shirt, tie, and saber, removing his sunglasses. In his youth, Garling attracted female admirers with his handsome appearance and eschewed the typical bubble headwear of the World Nobles. He wore a dark cape with fur trim, a dark shirt with government symbols, a light-colored lower half with a belt, gloves, and plate armor components. His lower wear included dark pants, light greaves, and dark boots. Overall, Garling's distinctive appearance and fashion sense have evolved throughout his life, showcasing his status and changing roles within the World Government. Personality Garling, a confident man with a ruthless demeanor, holds a disdainful view towards those of lower status, particularly the Celestial Dragons who protect them. He deems anyone beneath his own station as "trash" and is willing to execute even fellow nobles who defend individuals of lower rank. Garling's arrogance and cruelty are evident in his actions, such as participating in the Native Hunting Competition and slaying a protesting king without hesitation. Despite incurring penalties for his actions, he remains confident in his abilities and is unfazed by powerful adversaries like the Rocks and Roger Pirates. Upon joining the Five Elders, Garling establishes himself as an equal, showing no deference to his more experienced counterparts. He is determined to work towards re-establishing order in a world on the brink of chaos and rebellion. Abilities and Powers Garling is the Supreme Commander of the God's Knights and one of the most prominent Celestial Dragons. He has ascended to become one of the Five Elders, making him one of the "Highest Authorities in the World" with significant influence over politics and government, second only to Imu. As an Elder, he has command over Pacifistas and the Seraphim, with Vegapunk York as his subordinate. Little is known about his combat abilities, but his leadership of the God's Knights suggests he is dangerous. He was a "champion" on God Valley and participated in the Native Hunting Competition. During the competition, he rode a large bird. His involvement in the God Valley Incident, where the Rocks and Roger Pirates clashed, remains unclear. Nonetheless, his status as an Elder and his past actions on God Valley hint at his power and influence in the world. Weapons Garling wields a distinct saber with a golden knuckle-bow guard, purple leather-wrapped hilt, and buttoned pommel. This weapon has been in his possession for 38 years, showcasing his expertise with it.
