The world of One Piece just got a whole lot scarier.
For years, the Five Elders—those ominous, untouchable figures at the top of the World Government—have been shrouded in mystery. We knew they were powerful. We knew they were ancient. But no one could have guessed just how monstrous they truly are.
Now, in One Piece Chapter 1110, their secrets are unleashed. Their true forms, terrifying powers, and potentially non-Devil Fruit origins are laid bare—and the Egghead Island arc has exploded into one of the series’ most intense confrontations ever.
The Five Elders Descend: A Turning Point in the War
The Five Elders have officially arrived on Egghead Island, summoned through ominous ritualistic circles marked 1 to 5. Each of these eldritch portals introduces not just a name, but a beast—a transformed version of these so-called “men” that seems to transcend the very concept of Devil Fruit powers.
These aren’t your average Celestial Dragons. These are monsters—demons, even—pulled straight from folklore and turned loose on the battlefield.
Saint Saturn – The Gyūki: A Poison-Spitting Nightmare
Already partially revealed in earlier chapters, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn is now confirmed to be a gyūki, a fearsome Japanese yokai that’s a fusion of ox and spider. With his venomous spider limbs and demonic horns, Saturn’s abilities include poison attacks, regeneration, paralysis-inducing stares—and possibly even the power to summon the other Elders.
What’s more terrifying? These abilities might not even be tied to a Devil Fruit at all.
Saint Mars – The Itsumade: Terror from the Skies
Saint Marcus Mars takes the form of an itsumade, a monstrous bird yokai with a serpent-like body, human face, and a shriek said to bring plague. While his exact powers are still shrouded in mystery, Mars is seen launching aerial attacks on the Labophase—his monstrous wings and snake-body making him a deadly force from above.
Even in brief action, Mars screams “boss fight energy.”
Saint Nusjuro – The Bakotsu: Death Rides a Skeletal Horse
Perhaps the most visually shocking of the five, Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro becomes a bakotsu—a skeletal horse yokai born from death and flame. In his centaur-like hybrid form, Nusjuro slices through Pacifistas like paper using freezing sword slashes that may be linked to the soul, similar to Brook’s abilities.
Many fans speculate Nusjuro might wield a black blade, making him not just a monster, but potentially a legendary swordsman on par with Mihawk or Zoro.
Saint Warcury – The Fengxi: Brutal Strength Unleashed
Saint Topman Warcury transforms into a beast inspired by the Chinese fengxi—a vicious, wild boar monster said to terrorize the land. Although he appears to have only one head instead of the mythological two, Warcury’s tusks, girth, and primal fury make him the likely “tank” of the group.
Warcury doesn’t need flashy powers. He is the power.
Saint Ju Peter – The Sandworm: Lurking Below
Last but certainly not least, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter emerges as a gigantic sandworm, likely drawing inspiration from the Mongolian Death Worm or the iconic sandworms of Dune. Seen burrowing underground and attacking Luffy directly, Ju Peter’s durability is off the charts—even after being blown open by the Giant Warrior Pirates, he instantly regenerates.
His monstrous size and movement make him a nightmare to track—and possibly the most physically dangerous of the five.
❓ Do the Five Elders Even Have Devil Fruits?
Here’s the twist: none of their powers are introduced as Devil Fruits.
Instead, Oda presents them simply as the names of their mythical forms—gyūki, itsumade, bakotsu, etc.—which raises a huge question: are they even using Devil Fruits at all?
If they are, they’re unlike any we’ve seen. Their abilities include:
- Telepathic communication across continents
- Advanced regeneration
- Summoning each other through magical seals
- Black flames and floating auras suggesting full awakening
Some fans now believe these five aren’t Devil Fruit users, but rather divine or demonic entities, granted power by Imu, the mysterious sovereign ruler of the world. Their forms may not be models of yokai—they might become those creatures in truth.
⚔ Luffy vs. The World’s Darkest Secrets
With the Five Elders now all on the field, Egghead Island has turned into a battleground for the soul of the One Piece world. Luffy, in Gear 5, faces five ancient monsters whose power dwarfs almost anything we’ve seen before.
And with Vegapunk’s final message to the world still looming, the tension couldn’t be higher.
Will the Straw Hats survive long enough to escape to Elbaf? Or are they now locked in a war they can’t win?
🔥 Final Thoughts: The Age of Secrets Is Over
One Piece Chapter 1110 changes the game. The Five Elders have gone from myth to menace, from shadows on the wall to kaiju-tier monsters ripping through armies. Whether they’re Devil Fruit users, cursed immortals, or something else entirely remains to be seen.
But one thing is now certain: they are not just rulers of the world—they are the monsters that keep its darkest truths buried.
