One Piece: Further Evidence for Saint Mars as the Gorosei’s Traitor in Chapter 1122

In chapter 1122 of One Piece, Saint Marcus Mars, also known as the Warrior God of Environment, was one of the 5 Elders who openly led the World Government. However, his actions have sparked speculation that he may be a traitor in the series. While initially portrayed as a secondary antagonist in the Egghead Arc, he has become a central character in the Final Saga, with recent developments hinting at a more intricate role.

Upon the Buster Call on Ohara, Saint Marcus Mars displayed signs of remorse and then unexpectedly returned to the Room of Authority following his confrontation with Luffy. This suggests that Saint Marcus Mars could possibly have ulterior motives and is possibly plotting to betray the World Government in the future storyline.

One Piece: Previous Instances of Suspicion Surrounding Saint Marcus Mars and the Gorosei

In the latest One Piece chapter, 1122, compelling evidence has emerged suggesting that Saint Marcus Mars may in fact be a traitor among the Gorosei, a suspicion that has been alluded to in the past. Saint Marcus Mars has always stood out from the other Five Elders, particularly during the destruction of Ohara by the Marines, as he was the only one to display regret for the devastation of the island.

It was unexpected that one of the highest authorities would express regret over the destruction of the island, as it was done for the benefit of the World Government.

Gan Fall, the Knight of the Sky, experienced a moment of introspection in the Skypiea arc, just like the moment of hesitation that the other character faced. During this moment, Gan Fall reflected on his own actions and questioned their validity.

The stances of both Gan Fall and Saint Marcus Mars are strikingly similar, suggesting that Saint Marcus may be questioning the World Government’s violent tactics. The resemblance between the two scenes suggests that Saint Marcus may have more inner turmoil than his counterparts, potentially making him a betrayer within the Gorosei.

One additional proof is the influence behind Saint Marcus Mars. He could have been inspired by Itagaki Taisuke, a Japanese politician who established the first political party in Japan and advocated for democracy. Itagaki’s reputation centers on reform and defying the establishment. While Itagaki’s history lacks any controversy or mystery, his involvement in reform suggests that Saint Marcus Mars may ultimately betray the World Government in the One Piece series.

The likelihood of this scenario increased significantly in the latest manga installment, as Saint Marcus Mars’ behavior only added to the already existing doubts surrounding him. Following Emeth’s powerful Conqueror’s Haki attack, the Gorosei were forced to retreat to the Room of Authority in Mary Geoise.

Despite the others returning, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn remained absent. Upon their arrival in Mary Geoise, Saint Nusjuro, Ju Peter, and Warcury discovered that Saint Marcus Mars had already arrived, potentially fleeing the battle after being assaulted by Luffy. His early return to the Room of Authority, leaving his fellow Gorosei members behind, raises doubts about his allegiance and motives.

It is possible that Saint Marcus Mars’ sudden departure from his comrades during a crucial moment suggests that he may not completely support the goals of the Gorosei or the World Government. His regret for the devastation of Ohara and his quick exit hint at a possible inclination towards betraying Imu and the ruling authorities.

Concluding Remarks

As the plot unfolds, Saint Marcus Mars’ behavior may further expose his underlying intentions, potentially resulting in a significant betrayal among the Five Elders. The clues presented in earlier installments of the series, coupled with this recent evidence, suggest that Saint Marcus Mars could be the treacherous member of the Gorosei who will play a pivotal role in the future storyline of One Piece.
