One Piece has consistently introduced fans to some very powerful individuals, and recently, the Final Saga made the Five Elders into some of the main antagonists of the story. The Five Elders are directly tied to Imu, the sovereign of the world and one of the main antagonists as well, and fans know that a confrontation with them is building up in the future as well. In the Egghead Island arc, fans got a proper glimpse of what the Five Elders are capable of, and how dangerous they are in the face of battle.
