One piece Episode 1120 had many noteworthy moments, most of which were related to the five elders, Imu and Sabo. At the start of the episode, Sabo could be seen covered in blood and walking away from Castle Pangea. The Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army survived only because of Nefertari Cobra's sacrifice. If the king of Alabasta had not given him the opportunity to escape, Sabo would have surely been killed by Imu and the five elders.
The episode also covered Wapol and Vivi's escape from Marijoa. The two have absolutely no respect for each other, but were forced to stay together due to circumstances. Wapol talked to Morgan, the owner of News Coo, who decided to take them with them. Another significant surprise in the episode was related to the seraphim. After seeing five seraphim in Egghead, fans didn't think there would be more. However, Oda managed to surprise them.
The three seraphim make their debut
The crocodile, Doflamingo and the Seraphim of Moria appear
The new seraphim that were introduced in the episode were based on Crocodile, Gecko Moria, and Donquixote Doflamingo. The three seraphim were not present on Egghead Island, which is why fans had to wait so long to see them. Unfortunately, fans didn't get a chance to see the three seraphim in action, leaving audiences with a lot of questions.
But you can probably guess what they are like. Judging by the behavior of the Seraphim on Egghead, the new trio also have distinct personalities.
Doflamingo's seraphim will have the same mannerisms as him. So, he will be malicious and loving cruelty. The seraphim were actually smiling the same way as Doflamingo. The big question is what kind of Devil Fruits the new seraphim have. The safest bet would be that all three seraphim have the same devil fruits as their human counterparts. So Crocodile's Seraphim should have Suna Suna no Mi, Doflamingo's Seraphim could have Ito Ito no Mi, and Gecko Moria's Seraphim would have Kage Kage no Mi.
However, there is a small chance that Vegapunk may have chosen other devil fruits for these seraphim. Finding a better match for them would have been a cake walk for the smartest mind in the world. For now, the Devil Fruits of the three new seraphim will remain a mystery, as it is unlikely that they will return to Egghead Island before the arc ends.
How powerful are the seraphim?
Seraphim are super powerful weapons created by Dr. Vegapunk. The scientist used his expertise to make them the strongest form of humanity. The Seraphim made their debut in the Egghead arc, where they battled the Straw Hat Pirates, CP0, and Vegapunk's minions. The Seraphim were made using the descent factor of King, a Lunarian. This enhanced the seraphim's physical abilities to the point where they were unaffected by powerful attacks. They easily withstood the blows of Luffy, Zoro, Kaku, Sanji and Lucci.
Additionally, seraphim have wings on their backs, meaning they can fly at ridiculous speeds and attack their targets. Seraphim are also capable of learning and self-improvement. This means that their power continues to increase over time. Finally, they are equipped with various Devil Fruit powers that complement their original fighting style.
Will the Seraphim be involved in future Arcs?
Weapons of mass destruction have great potential
Yes. The Seraphim were created to fulfill the request of the World Government. The organization spent a lot of money and other resources to build them. So it's pretty obvious that they would want to use seraphim in major battles. Considering the drastic change taking place throughout the world, it is safe to say that the seraphim will prove to be valuable weapons for the World Government.
Currently, there are many pirates and other criminals who pose a threat to the sovereignty of the World Government. Marines and Cipher Pol can't keep up with them. The World Government can't afford to let these criminals run free, so it will try to send the seraphim to stop them in their tracks.
In future arcs, fans will have the opportunity to see all the seraphim in action, which means their Devil Fruits power will be revealed. In addition, the audience will also find out if the seraphim can become completely independent and act without orders. So far, the seraphim have shown that they have distinct personalities. Being only children, they are bound to evolve and learn more. Unlike the Pacifista, the Seraphim are not ordinary weapons and will not remain obedient forever. If their personalities take over, it is entirely possible for them to refuse to listen to commands.
