Eiichiro Oda can prove his creative ability if the assumption of the five elders turns out to be true.
If THIS is the secret behind Gorosei & Imu, that's huge
One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda's creative approach has kept the series at the top of the podium for nearly 30 years, and most of the credit for this goes to his ability to take inspiration from real-life elements and use it to create the fantastical world of his own. And while some of these inspirations have been confirmed by the mangaka himself, others are just assumptions made by fans.
One such assumption that fans have made is about the Gorosei or the Five Elders, who have recently unleashed hell on Egghead Island to capture the Straw Hat Pirates. Many One Piece fans believe that just like other major characters, the enigmatic Five Elders were also inspired by real-life individuals.
The assumptions also point out that their true inspirations, like the five elders, are also world leaders who have helped bring about change in the world. If these assumptions about the Five Elders turn out to be true, they will not only prove Oda's genius, but also change the way fans view the Five Elders.
