Introduction

The world ofONE PIECEcontinues to captivate fans as it enters its final chapter, with the Gorosei taking center stage in the Egghead arc. Their transformation into monstrous forms has sparked numerous theories, particularly one that links them to the myth of Pandora’s Box. This article delves into the implications of this connection and what it might mean for the story’s progression.

The Gorosei’s Transformation

In the latest chapters, the Gorosei, the highest authority of the World Government, reveal their true forms, which are far from human. Each member transforms into a creature reminiscent of various mythological beings, such as:

• Saint Jaygarcia Saturn – Gyuuki (牛鬼)
• Saint Marcus Mars – Itsuma Ten (以津真天)
• Saint Topman Warcury – Hōki (封き)
• Saint Ethan Baron V. Nasujirou – Bakotsu (馬骨)
• Saint Shepherd J. Peter – Sandworm

This transformation raises questions about their abilities and whether they are indeed users of Devil Fruits, as no names are displayed during their transformations, which is typically the case for Devil Fruit users.

The Pandora’s Box Theory

One intriguing theory among fans is that the Gorosei may embody the concept of Pandora’s Box. In Greek mythology, Pandora’s Box contained all the evils of the world, and opening it unleashed chaos. This theory suggests that the Gorosei could be the embodiments of calamities, serving as agents of punishment for humanity.

Symbolism and Mythology

Their monstrous forms draw parallels to Japanese yokai and Western monsters, reinforcing the idea that they symbolize disasters. For instance, Saint Saturn’s description of human life as “bugs” indicates a disdain for humanity, possibly hinting at their non-human nature.

Sealing and the Pangaea Castle

Another aspect of the theory posits that the Gorosei are not merely residing in Pangaea Castle but are actually sealed within it. Their appearance in Egghead could signify the breaking of this seal, akin to the opening of Pandora’s Box, suggesting that their true purpose is about to unfold.

Conclusion

The connection between the Gorosei and Pandora’s Box opens up a plethora of possibilities for the narrative ofONE PIECE. As fans eagerly await further revelations, the implications of this theory could reshape our understanding of the Gorosei’s role in the story. Stay tuned for more updates as the saga continues!
