Who are the Gorosei (Five Elders) in One Piece? The series is full of mysterious and powerful figures. Among those figures, the Five Elders are some who stand at the very top. Here is a guide on the Gorosei from One Piece.
This article contains minor spoilers about the Egghead arc.
Who are the Gorosei in One Piece?
The Gorosei or Five Elders are the highest-ranking authority in the World Government. They’re also the highest-ranking Celestial Dragons. This means they hold the highest authority over the world. They command the World Government and the organizations under it such as the Marines, Cipher Pol, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
The public knows they’re the highest-ranking officials, but secretly, they’re under Imu, the government’s shadow leader.
We first learn about the Five Elders during the Jaya arc, but we won’t know their names until the Egghead arc. The Gorosei names and titles are:
- Saint Jaygarcia Saturn (Warrior God of Science and Defense)
- Saint Marcus Mars (Warrior God of Environment)
- Saint Topman Warcury (Warrior God of Justice)
- Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro (Warrior God of Finance)
- Saint Shepherd Ju Peter (Warrior God of Agriculture)
We don’t know how long they have been in power and how old they are. There are speculations about the Gorosei being immortal, but there’s no confirmation of this so far. For example, Saturn currently looks the same as he did almost 40 years ago, during the God Valley Incident. It seems Bonney’s age-changing ability doesn’t affect him either.
What are the Devil Fruits of the Gorosei in One Piece?
The Devil Fruits of the Gorosei have not yet been revealed.
Saturn seems to have an awakened Zoan-type Devil Fruit since he can transform into a spider-like creature with horns. He also has a hybrid and beast form. As seen in the Egghead arc, Saturn is strong and capable of fighting. He has no problem regenerating. Saturn also has a force-like power where he can injure or knock people down just by looking at them. Vegapunk thinks this is because of a Devil Fruit.
The other Gorosei can also transform into animal-like creatures. However, we don’t know if this is because of a Devil Fruit ability. It’s possible that the rest of them also have awakened Zoan-type Devil Fruits. We will have to wait for the future chapters to see if they possess the same abilities as Saturn.
