The Gorosei, also known as the Five Elders, are some of the most important characters in One Piece, especially in the final saga. These Elders are now some of the main antagonists, as One Piece edges closer to its end with each passing arc. Of course, the Five Elders were always intended to be some of the most monstrously powerful individuals that Luffy and his allies would come up against, and their strength has already been shown to be immense during the Egghead Island arc. Fans finally got their first taste of their strength in this arc, especially when Saturn summoned all of them using summoning circles once Vegapunk's message was about to begin.
