One Piece Shakes the Status Quo With a Crucial Villain's Death

As a seasoned One Piece fan with over two decades of sailing through the Grand Line, I must say, Eiichiro Oda never ceases to amaze me! The latest twist with Saturn’s untimely demise and Figarland Garling’s ascension to the Five Elders has left me utterly stunned. It seems that the World Nobles are not as invincible as we once thought, huh?


One Piece consistently keeps its audience guessing, maintaining this since it first began in the ’90s. The mastermind behind it all, Eiichiro Oda, has skillfully constructed an extensive universe with the Straw Hat pirates leading the way. Throughout their journey, Luffy and his crew have encountered both allies and adversaries in equal measure. It seems like ancient history when Oda breathed life into Luffy’s most formidable foes through characters such as Imu and the Five Elders. In the aftermath of a nail-biting cliffhanger, One Piece has stirred things up by taking out one of the Five Elders from its established order.

This week saw the events unfold as chapter 1125 of “One Piece” was published, marking the conclusion of Egghead Island. The Straw Hat pirates managed an escape and, through clever planning, were able to safeguard Vegapunk’s work from the clones. However, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn is only given a brief moment to assess the chaos left by the unsuccessful Buster Call operation.

In essence, Imu seeks responses, but the enigmatic leader shows no compassion. He possesses the power to eliminate Saturn from afar, and Figarland Garling swiftly takes over as the new Five Elder in his place.

Why Was Saturn Killed?

Readers were taken aback when the character known as Saturn met his end, marking the conclusion of a chapter in the epic saga of One Piece. However, this series is renowned for its unexpected twists. The Five Elders, once seen as an almost invincible force working directly under Imu, were introduced to the manga. Yet, even powerful users of Devil Fruits can meet their demise. Unlike Luffy or any characters allied with Vegapunk during the Egghead Island arc, Saturn was slain by none other than Imu himself, which serves as a stark reminder of the formidable power this mysterious figure possesses.

The Five Leaders adhere to a rigid set of rules, and it’s apparent that Imu has zero tolerance for mistakes – Saturn paid the ultimate price for allowing Joyboy to slip away. Imu showed no leniency, and the other Four Leaders accepted Figarland Garling as Joyboy’s replacement upon his promotion. It is undeniable that this group, the Five Leaders, operates with ruthless efficiency, and each member will have an opportunity to prove themselves in battle before the conclusion of One Piece.

What Is Next for the Five Elders?

As Garling takes over Saturn’s throne, all attention now lies with the Five Elders and their mysterious leader, Imu. This formidable cabal of World Nobles are known to be puppets under Imu’s control. We know little about this enigmatic figure, apart from their fascination with Joyboy. Imu is said to have ties to a time preceding the Void Century, and they aim to conceal the world’s hidden history. This secret past is rumored to be connected to Gol D. Roger’s legendary treasure, making it crucial for Imu to keep the One Piece out of sight. Consequently, the Five Elders share this objective, eager to maintain the veil that hides the truth from the world.

In the upcoming chapters of “One Piece”, it’s clear that the Straw Hat crew is heading towards Laugh’s Tale, rumored to be where One Piece resides. The World Government and the Five Elders are also on the hunt for its location, with the latter chasing after Luffy at every turn. This pirate poses a double threat: his pursuit of Laugh’s Tale and his connection to Joyboy. As the story unfolds, it seems likely that Imu will dispatch the Five Elders to confront Luffy in an attempt to defeat him. If they should fall short, they remember all too well what happened to Saturn.
