In the fiery battles of Egghead Island, no entrance was more anticipated than that of Saturn, one of the revered Five Elders. The One Piece universe was sent into a frenzy when chapter 1094 depicted Saturn’s dynamic appearance amid the heat of the war. As Kizaru led the Navy’s charge, and even with Luffy challenging him, Saturn emerged as the most fascinating wildcard. His sudden move to take center stage left fans wondering about the origin of his phenomenal abilities.
Unraveling the Enigma of Saturn’s Form and Powers
When Saturn decided to engage in the Egghead Island conflict, it was more than just the Marines’ mission of targeting Vegapunk. With Vegapunk quickly swaying the Pacifistas and Luffy’s group seemingly gaining the upper hand, Saturn felt compelled to intervene.
His initial display, a demonic summoning circle that allowed teleportation, stunned fans. Arriving with a monstrous stature that towered even over the Straw Hat Pirates, he was a sight to behold. His lower half resembled a spider, while massive bull horns crowned his head. This visage, reminiscent of Devil Fruit users, had many wondering about the nature of Saturn’s strength.
Furthermore, his powers, as revealed in subsequent chapters, ranged from decapitating gazes to the chilling ability to paralyze formidable foes like Sanji. Additionally, a rapid healing capability that neutralized even a direct chest stab showcased his immense resilience.
Debates and Theories: Does Saturn Possess a Devil Fruit?
Speculations have been rife about Saturn’s power source. The parallels between him and the Ushi Oni, a malevolent creature from Japanese folklore, are uncanny. This yokai, feared for devouring human flesh and exuding lethal poison, possesses some eerily similar traits to Saturn. The act of instantly killing those who lock eyes with it and the ability to freeze them are powers Saturn has exhibited.
However, while Saturn seems to harness the Ushi Oni’s strength, it doesn’t automatically insinuate he possesses a Devil Fruit. Many characters introduced by Oda have their Devil Fruits named, but Saturn’s remained conspicuously absent.
A Hypothesis: The Influence of Imu and the Gorosei
Could Saturn’s enigmatic abilities stem from a source other than the Devil Fruit? A clue might lie in the summoning circle with the number five – possibly an association with the Gorosei.
The world’s pinnacle, Imu, could be the Sea Devil, a figure capable of bestowing immense powers. It’s plausible that the Five Elders, including Saturn, received their abilities directly from Imu, becoming manifestations of devils rather than mere Devil Fruit beneficiaries. The implications of such a theory are profound, suggesting a deeper, more intricate web of power dynamics in the One Piece universe.
