Saint Saturn has emerged as a formidable force, bringing not only danger to the Straw Hat Pirates but also a flurry of speculations among fans.
The Five Old Stars, and right at the forefront is Saint Saturn, making a grand entrance on Egghead Island.
Now, I don’t know about you, but I initially underestimated the Five Old Stars’ combat prowess.
That is until Saint Saturn showcased his might, taking down even the formidable Kizaru. Navy soldiers had to think twice before crossing him; he’s not one to play games, especially when it comes to dealing with those he considers beneath him.
So, what do we know about Saint Saturn’s abilities?
Well, those distinctive “horns” on his head and the intriguing transformation of his lower body into a “spider” suggest a tantalizing possibility – the “Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Ox,” a mythical phantom beast fruit.
For those not in the know, “Ushi Oni” originates from Japanese mythology and holds a revered status among monsters, almost god-like.
If Saint Saturn indeed consumed this fruit, it would explain his formidable moves, like using the “Evil Eyes” to strike at heads, a classic Ushi Oni tactic. And let’s not forget the poison mastery, another trait of the mythical creature.
Here’s where it gets even more interesting. In the intricate tapestry of Japanese mythology, Ushi Ushi stands superior to other monsters, akin to a god among them.
Now, think about Saint Saturn’s position as one of the Five Old Stars, serving under the mysterious Imu, a character almost god-like in status.
If Saint Saturn holds the power of the “Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Ox,” he might just be the strongest among his peers, bridging the gap between the Five elder Stars.
But why did Oda choose Saint Saturn to step into the limelight first?
The Valley of Gods, where Saint Saturn descended, was previously featured, hinting at a deeper connection.
Perhaps, Saint Saturn holds secrets that even his fellow Five Old Stars are unaware of, things that Im might not have shared.
After all, even a god-like character can’t know everything.
Placing Saint Saturn against the Straw Hat Pirates alone raises suspicions, and it’s clear that Luffy, for all his strength, might find it challenging to take on Saint Saturn at this point.
And what about Vegapunk?
Could there be a special relationship between our beloved genius and the god of science and defense?
With Saint Saturn’s pivotal role, there’s a high chance that he holds the key to unraveling some of the mysteries surrounding Vegapunk.
