Spoiler Warning:

This article includes spoilers about Saturn’s devil fruit powers in One Piece. We suggest you watch the anime and read the manga (up to the latest chapter) to avoid ruining the intended experience.

Who is Jaygarcia Saturn in One Piece?

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn was one of the Five Elders in One Piece, the highest authoritative figures in the pirate world next to Imu. As fans must now be aware, the Five Elders are the creator’s followers, Imu-sama.

So, Saturn’s powers and authority aligned with Imu’s goals, and the Elders work for them without second thoughts. Every Gorosei is assigned a certain area of politics, and Saturn was the Warrior God of Science and Defense, as he was a scientist for more than two hundred years.

The ongoing events (in the anime) of the Egghead arc fell right into Saturn’s jurisdiction. As a result, he was the first Gorosei member seen stepping out of the Mary Geoise and leading the assassination mission of Dr. Vegapunk.

While we initially thought this was just an introduction, Saturn surprised fans by revealing his frightening devil fruit powers. You can learn all about his sinisterous powers in the section below.

Saturn’s Yokai-Based Devil Fruit Powers in One Piece

We knew that the Five Elders would be one of the most powerful characters as they are the servants of the final antagonist, Imu. But questions like how powerful they are? Are they Devil Fruit users or non-Devil Fruit users? kept us pondering.

Saturn arrived on Egghead island using a summoning circle. He emerged from the symbol on the ground looking like the devil himself. This was the first instance where we witnessed the demonic Saturn’s powers. It hasn’t been properly established whether the Elders received their powers from a devil fruit or obtained their powers from Imu directly. However, based on Saturn’s bestial form, fans predicted that Saturn ate a mythical zoan devil fruit. Oda revealed Saturn’s form as “Gyuki,” which translates to ox-ogre in Japanese.

In this hybrid form, Saturn has a spider-like torso and legs along with an ox-like head with horns. Similar to Luffy’s Gear 5 form and many other awakened Zoan devil fruit users, he had black cloud smokes surrounding his physique. These devil fruit powers are based on the Ushi-Oni Yōkai from Japanese Folklore. That said, here are Saturn’s devil fruit powers:

• Transformation: Saturn’s devil fruit allows him to evolve into a spider-like creature with horns. He could maintain a hybrid form or go into a complete bestial form.
• One-Shot ability: Saturn had the power to hurt people telepathically without touching them, as seen when he exploded a random Marine’s head by looking at him.
• Regeneration: In addition to healing ability, Saturn could also regenerate his injured body parts.
• Telekinetic/Telepathic powers: In addition to his telepathic powers seen in the previous chapter, Saturn shows us an extended version by immobilizing some of the Straw Hat Pirates with his strong gaze.
• Venom: Saturn’s pointed legs can produce a lethal and corrosive substance. In addition, he was also seen spewing toxic spheres that explode on contact.

Dr. Vegapunk, who was well aware of the types of devil fruits through the encyclopedia, confirmed that all these are more likely to be Saturn’s devil fruit power.

• Haki: As one of the strongest figures in the story, Saturn was confirmed to have Conqueror’s Haki and Observation Haki. His haki was so strong that Zoro and Lucci, who were fighting miles away, felt it and considered it a powerful presence.

Since we have seen Luffy’s devil fruit being associated with the powers of God, everyone now highly anticipates the story’s biggest antagonists to be associated with the devils. So, a good old-fashioned showdown between the Gods and Devils might be in the books here as well. In the meantime, tell us what you think about Saturn’s powers in the comments below.
