One Piece’s latest spoilers confirm Imu’s control over the Gorosei’s lives is not what fans expected

The Egghead arc of One Piece provided fans with a wealth of information on the Gorosei, including their names, titles, and Yokai forms. Unsurprisingly, it was their Yokai forms that captivated fans the most, solidifying the group’s reputation as formidable and skilled combatants.

One reason why One Piece fans were captivated by these abilities is due to their distinctiveness compared to the existing power systems in the series. Fans have been eagerly speculating about the origins of these unique powers and the potential involvement of Imu.

The newest spoilers for chapter 1125 of One Piece have brought some exciting information to light. They reveal a connection between Imu and the Gorosei, although not exactly what fans had speculated. This is based on the currently available spoiler information at the time of writing this article.

Latest spoilers for One Piece reveal Saint Jaygarcia Saturn’s death by Imu in chapter 1125

In the leaked spoilers for chapter 1125 of One Piece, viewers witness Imu seeking retribution against Saint Jaygarcia Saturn for his mishap on Egghead Island regarding Dr. Vegapunk’s message. Imu appears to remotely incinerate Saturn’s body, causing it to be engulfed in “Black Flames.”Additionally, as the flames consume him, Saturn’s body rapidly ages before ultimately exploding, leaving only his skeleton behind.

It was once believed that the Gorosei were manifestations of Imu’s Haki, utilizing his power whenever necessary. However, the discovery of a skeleton left behind after Saturn’s demise disproves this theory. Additionally, the appointment of Saint Garling Figarland as the new Warrior God of Science and Defense implies that all members of the Gorosei are, in fact, human.

Considering this information, the latest One Piece spoilers suggest that the Gorosei and Imu are connected in a way that differs from fans’ previous assumptions. The recent addition of Garling to their ranks may shed light on this connection and potentially reveal any established protocols. Yet, based on the death of Saturn, it is possible to make a reasonable inference.

It is probable that Imu possesses the same abilities as the other Gorosei members, specifically through the use of the Op-Op Fruit which grants him presumed immortality. This could have been achieved through the Perpetual Youth Surgery, possibly performed by an Awakened user. As the Op-Op Fruit is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, its awakening would allow it to manipulate both its user (in this case, the recipient of the surgery) and the surrounding environment.

Viewing the surgery as a transfer of ownership for the Devil Fruit allows for a logical understanding of the situation. As the new “owner”of the Op-Op Fruit’s Awakened abilities, Imu may have the ability to share the fruit’s power of immortality with the Gorosei. Clues from spoilers further support this theory, as they mention Saturn’s aging process being halted by Imu, ultimately leading to his death. This suggests that Imu somehow froze Saturn’s age in time.

Despite being speculative at the time of writing this article, there is some minimal evidence referenced above that supports the presumption. With that being said, it appears that fans have long been waiting for this answer about Imu and the Gorosei.
