- Personality [
- Like the other Female Elders, Saturn cares about the balance in the world maintained by the Three Great Powers and wishes to maintain it. This also includes preserving the image of the World Government by keeping the events of the Void Century a secret, and she and the other Elders will immediately have anyone destroyed who is found to be studying it. She knows about the significance of the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika and was willing to go to great lengths to prevent it from being awakened, even viewing angering one of the Four Emperors as a preferable outcome to avoid such a future happening and deliberately sacrificing Guernica, one of her best agents, to the alarm of another of the Elders. When global chaos became unavoidable following the downfall of both Kaidou and Big Mom, Saturn was anxious and sweating as she was left at a loss as to how to respond without the option of covering everything up.
- Like the other Elderly Women, she has little tolerance for people of lower rank challenging their authority, as shown during the Elders' meeting with Fleet Admiral Sakazuki although due to her high position she is highly diplomatic instead of threatening or making hostile moves towards the fleet admiral.
- Unlike the other Female Elders, she appeared to hold a small amount of empathy for important figures that seemed to have merit, as she was telling Kizaru it was an unfortunate turn of events that she had to go out and eliminate Vegapunk, though this would not stop her from executing her mission, nonetheless.After locating Vegapunk, Saturn thanked him for all his contributions to the World Government, but not without later declaring that he would die a painful death and trying to consolidate the scientist's regret for having betrayed them. He also found it wasteful that they must destroy the Sea Beast Weapons but preferred to maintain the Pacifista as a pragmatic, if reluctant, choice.[
- " Put yourself in my shoes. Would you bother yourself with the feelings of insects? It is impossible. "
- — Saturn expressing her viewpoint on humans to Dr. Vegapunk.
- Much like her fellow World Nobles, Saturn has a low opinion of human lives. This extends to those that work for the World Government, such as Cipher Pol agents and the Marines, comparing them to insects that will merely reproduce regardless of the casualties in the worst-case scenario. This was shown again while in her awakened form where she referred to the various vice admirals concerned for his safety as insects that needed to pipe down. She also called them fools for attempting to seize Vegapunk instead of focusing their weapons on Jewelry Bonney's head. Saturn is not above racism either, as shown with her very first encounter with a young Bartholomew Kuma, telling the boy he deemed the entire Buccaneer race to be condemnable solely for an unrevealed crime they committed in the past.
- Above all else, Saturn is an absolutely diabolical individual with no qualms or concerns about experimenting on those beneath her; she is known to have tortured or experimented on at least eight individuals with most (if not all) of them contracting incurable or rare diseases such as Sapphire Scales as a result. Upon learning that Kuma and Vegapunk were discussing a way to cure the former's daughter, who inherited her mother's condition after being experimented on, Saturn decided to use this as a means to turn Kuma into a weapon for the government, forcing the man to agree to have his free will stripped away while also being modified to become a cyborg; even after Kuma agreed to these terms, Saturn decided to place his daughter under government surveillance with a threat that if Kuma were to ever contact his daughter or flee, she would make the girl a slave. Furthermore, after these demands were set in place and Kuma was about to undergo the procedure to lose his free will, Saturn additionally demanded Vegapunk implant a self-destruct switch into Kuma, justifying it as a means to stop him on the slim chance he rebels against the government, showcasing further unrelenting cruelty.
- According to Sanji, Saturn (while in her fully beast mode) has completely lost all of his pretense of being human.]
- Relationships [
- Imu
- While Saturn and her fellow Female Elders are reputed as the greatest authorities in the World Government, they all secretly answer to Imu, the shadow monarch of the world and occupant of the Empty Throne who she and her fellow Elders are extremely loyal to revere in high regard. As such, she turned to Imu's guidance regarding whichever "light" deserves to be erased forever from history, indicating their role in the Government's oppressive tyranny for centuries. She also obeys Imu's commands without questioning, agreeing to make the necessary preparations to wipe out Lulusia Kingdom on their order. Saturn also wasted no time holding Nefertari Cobra at gunpoint when Imu revealed themself to him showing a protectiveness to keep their ruler's identity a secret as well as wasting no time to attempt to kill Sabo when she discovered and attempted to attack her, her fellow Elders and Imu.
- Marines
- Sakazuki
- After Saturn and the Five Old ladies at large played a role in the false news of Donquixote Doflamingo's resignation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Sakazuki was outraged by how the Five Old Women would go out of their way to protect him, not even caring if it would tarnish the Marine's reputation. Saturn told Sakazuki to watch his tone repeatedly having no real concern over his reputation being tarnished and a sentiment shared by her fellow elders as she told him again to shut his mouth again for talking back to them. Saturn appears to look down on Sakazuki as upon spotting Nico Robin on Egghead she blamed Sakazuki for her survival labeling him as soft.
- Borsalino
- Saturn appears to trust Kizaru at handling the orders she and her fellow Elders give out, having him personally serve as her guard while journeying to Egghead to confront Vegapunk, she also allowed Kizaru to personally handle Sentomaru despite her initially telling him to ignore the former Marine and head straight into the Labophase dome. Despite this, she was disappointed in Kizaru's failings at carrying out Vegapunk's execution, noting that he was notably slower at handling this mission but relented that it must have been due to Monkey D. Luffy stopping him with his awakened form.
- Kuzan
- Saturn and her fellow Elder Warcurie were notably annoyed with Aokiji leaving his post to sight-see again while on duty. She seemed to agree with her fellow Elder that Kuzan leaving the Marines and joining the Blackbeard Pirates was a stain on the organization's reputation.
- Enemies
- Monkey D. Luffy
- Saturn and the Five Old ladies hold tremendous animus towards Monkey D. Luffy, not only for his heritage as the Revolutionary Dragon's son, but also for all the trouble he and his crew have caused. This includes invading Enies Lobby and defeating CP9 to save Nico Robin, causing the first mass breakout of Impel Down, intruding on the Summit War of Marineford to save Ace, and most of all for defeating multiple Warlords of the Sea such as Crocodile, Moria, and Doflamingo.
- Vegapunk
- Saturn and the elders first met with Dr. Vegapunk after he won the Ibel Peace Prize, inviting him to a personal audience at Mary Geoise. After enlisting him as a military scientist, he tasked him with the development of several new projects, including the Pacifista program, the Seraphim, and the replication of the Mother Flame. During the time of Vegapunk's employment, she consistently monitored him and even forced him to abandon his morality, with Saturn intervening in his work when he attempted to make a deal with the pirate and revolutionary Kuma to save his daughter from the Sapphire Scales disease and reprimanded him for talking out of line. Years later, when the elders became aware of Dr. Vegapunk's secret research into the forbidden Void Century, they decided to eliminate him, though Saturn seemed to view killing Vegapunk as a shame due to his many contributions and inventions for the government throughout the years.
- Despite this, she was still fully willing to kill Vegapunk, and only prioritized his accumulated knowledge in Punk Records, as it would remain after Vegapunk's death. In return, Vegapunk utterly detests him for his cruelty and total disregard for people's lives. He openly expressed outrage when he learned it was Saturn's experiments that caused the Sapphire Scales to Kuma's loved ones, ruining their lives along with Kuma who sacrificed himself to save Bonney. Saturn was further angered with Vegapunk after the self-destruct command did not work on Kuma and, after demanding that the scientist answer for how he was still capable of free will and receiving the answer "the power of love", decided both men were of no use to him. When he later found out that Vegapunk had secretly programmed the Pacifista command hierarchy to include Bonney as the absolute top, surpassing even that of the Five Elders, she became livid and stabbed the scientist in anger with her leg.
- Bartholomew Kuma
- Saturn has a long history with Bartholomew Kuma and can be considered the "devil" of Kuma's life. Their history started 38 years ago, when Saturn was overseeing a young Kuma and various other slaves as targets for the Native Hunting Competition on God Valley. When a government agent alerted Saturn that Kuma was caught after trying to flee, she began to personally intervene and eventually confronted and attacked the boy, Kuma questioned the female elder in front of her on why he was born important and why he was deemed a slave at birth, declaring that he would save other slaves like Nika and causing Saturn to retort that his treatment was deserved due to him being a part of the Buccaneers race, while also telling Kuma his only options in life were slavery or death. After this encounter, Saturn still kept tabs on Kuma learning from an agent that he had become the current king of Sorbet and the following two years had discovered he planned on working with Vegapunk to cure his daughter from Sapphire Scales (who unknown to him Saturn was the cause of) while agreeing to be the face of the Pacifista project.
- Saturn quickly sought to use Kuma and his clones as human weapons for the government and went about a plan to force Kuma into becoming part of the Seven Warlords while also forcing him to lose his free will under threats of making his daughter a slave with Kuma ultimately agreeing to these terms if it meant he could save his daughter's life. Even though Saturn activated Kuma's self-destruct switch after he was rescued from slavery by the revolutionaries, he learned firsthand that the switch and commands in general didn’t work on Kuma any longer. Miraculously, Kuma managed to arrive on Egghead and prevent Saturn from killing Bonney. Angered, Kuma struck Saturn with a Haki coated punch after years of torment and grief, launching him through several buildings. Furious at this Saturn attempted to kill Kuma but was foiled by Sanji and Franky's efforts, he then opted to have the Pacifista shoot down Kuma and Bonney, but the attempt failed due to a countermeasure implanted in them.
- Jewelry Bonney
- Saturn was responsible for Jewelry Bonney gaining the Sapphire Scales disease due to experiments on her mother when she was an infant. Four years ago, Saturn used her as a hostage for Kuma to undergo modifications into a human weapon without his memories and will. Initially years after this, despite Bonney gaining infamy as a Super Rookie and member of the Worst Generation while escaping capture from the Marines prior, Saturn still viewed her as a merely a child that outgrew her use and did not need to be dealt, but changed her opinion when Bonney discovered her history with Vegapunk and Kuma leading her to stab Saturn. Saturn healed the wound but grabbed and began crushing Bonney telling her that Kuma's persecution was due to him being a Buccaneer and that she would die a painful death for defying the government while ordering the Marines to shoot her.
- When Bonney attempted to fight back, Saturn cruelly mocked her by revealing she was the one who gave Bonney her Devil Fruit ability as part of her experiment. She went on to admit she was the one responsible for Ginny, Bonney's mother, having Sapphire Scales due to her experiments, which pass down to Bonney and resulted in Kuma sacrificing himself to save her, these revelations filled Bonney with despair. Before Saturn could strike her with a killing blow Kuma intervened, blocking the blow and attacked the female elder saving Bonney. Saturn then opted to have the Pacifista shoot down Kuma and Bonney, but the attempt failed due to a countermeasure implanted in them, after she ordered Kizaru to kill her but was prevented from doing so by Luffy.
- Other
- Shanks
- Though Shanks is considered an enemy given his status as a pirate, Saturn and her fellow Five Old Ladies showed respect towards him and even allowed him an audience with them inside Mary Geoise, making room in their political agendas for him. ]
- Abilities and Powers [
- As one of the Five Old Ladies, the highest-ranking World Nobles, Saturn is one of the World Government's five highest authorities who, as a group, wield unrivaled influence over the world; only Imu (in secret) outranks them. Saturn thus controls every facet of the government, from the Marines to the Cipher Pol agencies, and even the Fleet Admiral cannot challenge his power. Specific examples of Saturn's authority (as shared by her fellow Elders) are her ability to order entire islands destroyed via a Buster Call or by deploying (on Imu's behalf) the Mother Flame, whose preparations to carry out are prepared by Saturn given her wisdom in the field of science. The Elders also have the ability to manipulate the global mediascape to alter or withhold facts from the general public (up to and including erasing entire segments of history, most notably the Void Century). In addition, Saturn and the other Elders are endowed with total authority over the Pacifista and Seraphim (above even their creator, Dr. Vegapunk's, though due to Vegapunk's secret meddling, their authority over all Kuma-formed Pacifista is second to Jewelry Bonney).
- Due to Saturn's Elder status, Marines at or below the commodore rank are not permitted to look upon her, with transgressors being punished with death by Saturn himself.
- As a fighter, Saturn has proven himself very powerful, like her fellow Female Elders. As a potential hint to their power, the five of them were confident in being able to meet face-to-face with Shanks, an Emperor of the Sea, in Pangaea Castle without having anyone there to guard them. On Egghead, Saturn was willing to personally move into the island center and come face to face with another Emperor's pirate crew, as well stay on Egghead despite an impending bombardment more intense than a Buster Call. Even more, Saturn was quick and unhesitating in engaging Luffy in battle, and while seemingly not hurting the latter significantly, the Elder's apparent immortality allowed her to shrug off any attack that Luffy tried on her, including one that seemed to incapacitate a Marine Admiral.
- Physical Abilities
- Saturn has exhibited extremely high level of endurance enhanced by her immortality and regeneration, remaining unfazed by Jewelry Bonney stabbing her near his neck with a sword and shrugging off an incredibly strong punch to the face from Bartholomew Kuma, which sent the Female Elder crashing through two buildings. Even after being shot through the sides of her abdomen by Franky's Radical Beam, Saturn survived and remain unbothered. Saturn is also strong enough to destroy machinery using her cane.
- Scientific Expertise
- As the Warrior Goddess of Science and Defense, Saturn holds the authority to govern any scientific endeavors of the World Government along with immense resources to perform experiments using Devil Fruits and unethical human experimentation. She is also a scientist herself and was confident enough in her own intelligence to believe that Vegapunk, the world's smartest man, would be unable to deceive her when it came to Kuma's cyborg modifications.
- Among Saturn's scientific accomplishments, she was once able to successfully extract the essence of the Toshi Toshi no Mi and subsequently inject it into the body of an infant Bonney to grant her powers at an age where normal ingestion would be impossible. That being said, Saturn's scientific capabilities in this respect are also limited, at least compared to Vegapunk's, as she was incapable of dealing with the Sapphire Scales that plagued Ginny despite conducting multiple experiments on her.
- Unique Powers
- Notably, Saturn is shown to have some abilities and traits that are esoteric in nature. Which of these, if any, stem from her Devil Fruit is currently unclear:
- Saturn Magic Circle
- Saturn emerges from a Magic Circle.
- Saturn Healing Ability
- Saturn regenerates a lost arm and horn.
- Saturn Head Exploding
- Saturn harming an individual with invisible force.
- Saturn seems either unaging or to age slower than normal. During the God Valley Incident nearly four decades ago, she bore the same aged look as she does in the present. Additionally, Jewelry Bonney's age-changing powers appear to have no effect on her.
- At least in her Zoan forms, Saturn can heal from injuries. When she was pierced by a sword, the wound healed within seconds of the blade's removal, with even the blood stain vanishing. Likewise, after her left horn was broken off and her right arm severed, Saturn regenerated both, alongside the sleeve of her suit. Even after a potentially fatal hit by Franky's Radical Beam that pierced through her abdomen from side to side, she remained unfazed as the injury healed over. Due to the myriad of attacks that Saturn has managed to survive and heal from so far, Luffy is convinced that Saturn (and her fellow Female Elders) must have some form of immortality.
- While in her Zoan form, Saturn arrived on Egghead by emerging from a "Magic Circle" (魔法陣, Mahōjin?) on the ground as if through a portal; said circle had a pentagram in its middle and five number 5s in-between its jags, possibly a reference to the Five Female Elders. As Saturn appeared, the circle emitted black, Haki-esque lightning while having fiery energy erupt from it, and several powerful fighters on Egghead took notice of the "strange" presence that had arrived. Saturn appears to be able to create multiple circles as well to summon others, having created four of them to teleport her fellow Female Elders from Mary Geoise all the way to Egghead.
- In her Beast Form, Saturn appears to have some form of telepathy, at least with her other Elders. She was able to communicate with them from as far away as Egghead, while they were at Mary Geoise.
- In both her human and Zoan forms, Saturn can project some kind of invisible, aura-like "force" resembling telekinesis, without having to move. When invoking this power, visibly indicated by her eyes glowing, Saturn can injure people with a mere look, knock them back as though with an unseen blow, and physically force them to the ground to keep immobile. Vegapunk, who is aware of the contents of the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, surmised that this may be the result of a Devil Fruit. The abilities are shown to be effective even against a Worst Generation pirate like Jewelry Bonney, a modified human like Sanji, and an android like Atlas. Interestingly, Luffy was able to shrug off the attack while in his Gear 5 form.
- Devil Fruit
- Saturn Human-Beast Form
- Saturn's Awakened Human-Beast Form.
- Saturn Beast Form
- Saturn's Awakened Beast Form.
- Saturn Venom
- Saturn burns through a tree using venom.
- Saturn Venom Spit
- Saturn spits venomous orbs.
- Saturn has acquired the power of a Mythical Zoan-type Gyuki (牛鬼, Gyūki?) Devil Fruit, which lets her transform into a gyuki—a monstrous bull-spider—and a human-gyuki hybrid at will. Saturn appears to have "awakened" this ability while maintaining her personality, as indicated by the ribbon of dark, flaming smoke around her shoulders and torso when she is transformed.
- In her hybrid form, Saturn is gigantic—large enough to hold Jewelry Bonney in one hand and tower over the very large Bartholomew Kuma. She has proven durable enough to withstand a point-blank Hiken from Sabo without being scathed[50] and strong enough to injure an adult-form Bonney in his grip.[51] As a main form of offense, the elder can use his sharp-pointed legs to try to impale enemies, managing to pierce even Kuma's stronger-than-steel body.[52][53][54][55]
- In his full "Beast" form, Saturn is a massive, horned spider-like creature, with his upper back covered by a light-colored flame. He retains his beard, which appears to have grown, and his face is still recognizable from his human and hybrid forms, but his eyes are considered "bizarre" by Sanji's account. In said form, Saturn can excrete a powerful corrosive poison from his sharp legs, which appear to be able to move with great freedom as if they were tentacles, and they move with enough force to shatter the ground. His arms also appear to have transformed into an additional pair of legs, giving him eight in total.[56][57][58] By spinning his entire body horizontally, he can achieve a form of flight, similar to a helicopter propeller, as he did so to return to the battlefield when Luffy attempted to throw him afar.[59] He also has the ability to spit out venomous orbs that can produce enormous explosions.[60]
- Haki
- Main article: Haki
- Like the other Elders, Saturn possesses powerful Haki. His arrival on Egghead was accompanied by a massive burst of it, appearing as black lightning.[26] His Haki alongside the other Elders' was sensed by Roronoa Zoro and Rob Lucci from a fair distance away, and being described as massive.[61]
- Haoshoku Haki
- Saturn is one of the very few people in the world who has the ability to use Haoshoku Haki. He used it to knock several Den Den Mushi unconscious.[62]
- Kenbunshoku Haki
- Saturn is a very skilled user of Kenbunshoku Haki. As he used it to detect the Den Den Mushi inside the Labophase.[63]
- Weapons
- Saturn possesses a flintlock pistol, which he took out when the Five Elders prepared to assassinate Nefertari Cobra.[64]
- Saturn can utilize his cane in order to destroy small objects. It is unknown if this is something that has real combat application, however.
