Powers & Abilities Gorosei; The Demons Within

#1
The Gorosei as an entity that governs the world is known to everyone world wide. It is also safe to say anyone with a little brain or skill on them knows these old men aren't your average joe. What are these scars doing on these old men, they aren't really trying to hide them, what about Venus with his sword and samurai attire. Observation haki can certainly allow anyone to gauge their presence and strength level.

What the Gorosei are truly hiding is the nature of their devil fruit powers. First off, would anyone really bat an eye if the guys governing the world had a bunch of zoan fruits? Not really, no reason to rub anyone off. The reason they are hiding their powers is because they are actual devils as Sabo says here


Gorosei themselves are replacable, but their devil fruits are not. Likely, there has been constant recirculation for their powers through Imu's garden.
We see here Mercury and Venus lecturing the young Jupiter about the Nika fruit ''only a legend even to us''


What to expect of their devil fruits:
Gorosei's fruits will definitely not be some run of the mill zoan fruits. The demons inside them have ''possessed'' generations upon generations of diabetic old men who rule the world, with each demon having centuries of history and combat experience. The Gorosei are simply vassals to an eternal demonic power.
If this true nature of theirs is exposed then it would rub everyone the wrong way

Meaning, if Cobra entered this room 800 years ago he would've seen the very same demons he saw now, but using different vassals only
I think this is essential to establish a difference between average mindless creatures like a dragon or a phoenix, and actual demons who have controlled the world for centuries upon centuries. The original hosts who willed these powers to existance didn't do it for a laugh

They look kinda goofy as silhouettes but I think Oda will deliver


I've looked into possible demons that fit Saturn's looks and personality, and this is what I came up with
''The horrible demon named Molech is depicted as a half-man, half-bull, Minotaur-like figure with a belly made of fire, who symbolized some of the darkest traits of humankind. He is a symbol of brawn over brains, a hot-headed demon with no regard for the sanctity of human life.''


Moloch is a demon who sought child sacrifices. Conveniently enough we have this.


''He is a symbol of brawn over brains, a hot-headed demon''



Not the most articulated thread but thought I'd share my thoughts

Nice theory. Although, if all Devil Fruits are literally demons trapped in fruit form, then would this mean they have "unrefined demons" - more powerful, perhaps, but liable to take over?
You mean the thing Jabra said? Wouldn't think much into it tbh
What I'm trying to deduce is a way to hype these character from the norm of zoans, the most medicore and overused power in the verse
We had Cp9, Cp0 and beast pirates. If they have some average run of the mill zoans then they'd be the most ass villain group we had

I really like this idea.

I feel like the Gorosei themselves being special immortal entities would contradict Homing and Mjosgard's stories. They should just be regular humans, but them having special devil fruits would make them "special" and "hellish" like Sabo's descriptions.
