The Five Elders are the real slaves, it doesn’t matter what anyone says about the Admirals. First of all, did Garling even have a say in becoming one of the Gorosei? It seems like he was simply ordered to assume the rank and had no choice in the matter.
Second, the other Gorosei didn’t even know Saturn was to be killed, nor did they have any input in Garling becoming a Gorosei. He just showed up without their knowledge because he had been ordered to do so. Did Garling or the other Gorosei have any choice in this appointment? Did the surviving Gorosei have any say in their own appointments?
Lastly, what happens when the Gorosei “fail” Imu? He kills them without negotiation. The crazy part is that Saturn accomplished every objective he sought to accomplish in Egghead, but because he didn’t kill Joyboy, Imu killed him without warning.
The Gorosei are seemingly political slaves with no independent will of their own, thrust into their position without their own consent or opinion, and will be literally killed and replaced at a moment’s notice if they don’t fulfill the arbitrary whims of Imu.
These characters are like, the polar opposite of the Admirals in every way lmfao. No wonder Warcury is Akainu’s EOS opponent. Akainu will body Imu’s highest ranked slave to prove all the haters wrong lmfao.
