Does Sakazuki Know About the Ancient Weapons? | A Possible Confrontation with the Five Elders?
A Possible Confrontation with the Five Elders?
Sakazuki once complained to the Five Elders about dragging the Navy into the mess involving Doflamingo’s resignation from the Warlords and the abdication of the throne in Dressrosa. If he suspects that the World Government possesses an Ancient Weapon, he might confront the Five Elders with his suspicions.
The destruction of Ohara was supposedly to prevent the revival of the Ancient Weapons, so if the Five Elders have not only kept one but have also used it, wouldn’t that be the ultimate betrayal of their supposed justice? Sakazuki might demand to know if they intend to use this power recklessly across the world, as Vegapunk hinted.
Sakazuki is a man driven by extreme justice, and Vegapunk’s revelations might shake the foundations of that justice for the first time. While his position might prevent him from outright opposing the Five Elders, if the Celestial Dragons plan to use the advantage of living on the Red Line, safe from the sea’s wrath, to unleash Ancient Weapons against those they find inconvenient, what stance should the Navy take? Even Sakazuki might find himself struggling to answer that.
Given the possibility that Sakazuki harbors doubts about the World Government—or rather, the Celestial Dragons—it will be fascinating to see what conversations might unfold between him and the returning Five Elders after the Egghead Incident. Kizaru has already shown a very human side, and perhaps Sakazuki isn’t so different. After all, Sakazuki isn’t a Celestial Dragon, and he likely has people on the surface he wants to protect, whether it be his homeland or family.
If the Celestial Dragons are willing to let the world sink, that might be something even Sakazuki can’t forgive. We already know the Five Elders considered sacrificing the Navy during the Buster Call by destroying the fusion reactor and letting the resulting explosion wipe them out…
I’m very excited to see what actions Sakazuki will take as Fleet Admiral and as a man. That concludes this article. Thank you very much for reading!
