In chapter #1125 of One pieceSaint Figarland Garling replaces Saint Saturn as the godhead of science and defense. At the same time, on Egghead, Saint Saturn begins to choke and cough as black smoke emanates from his withered body. Imu punishes Saturn for letting Joyboy escape and, though Saturn begs for mercy, his life is quickly drained from his body until only his bones remain.
Saint Saturn’s death seemingly confirms that the five elders’ immortality, regeneration, and perhaps even their demonic transformation all stem from Imu and can be removed at any moment if Imu chooses to do so. This not only lends credibility to the theory about the five elders being Imu’s satellites, but also raises the question of whether one of the five elders was replaced earlier, which is implied by St. Ju Peter’s and St. Saturn’s strange reactions in the last chapter .
