One Piece: Gorosei Can Live Eternal?
The Gorosei are a group that is under the auspices of the World Government and has the highest authority in the organization. The Gorosei are made up of five old men, each of whose identities have not been revealed. However, they seem to have tremendous power. Currently, the Gorosei occupy the sacred island of Mariejoa. The Gorosei are also the most powerful figures in the Navy. Even Akainu never dared to disobey the orders given by the Gorosei.
One of the interesting things about the Gorosei is that they seem to have a very long lifespan. Before and after the time skip, almost all characters get a lot of changes due to age. But for the Gorosei, they seem to be different from other characters because they are still shown the same. So why is that? It could be that this has something to do with the Gorosei's efforts to keep them from getting older. The goal is that they can monitor and see the development of the World Government over a long period of time.
One way the Gorosei might do so that they don't age is to take advantage of the power of Jewelry Bonney. For geeks who don't know, Jewelry Bonney is a Worst Generation who is quite strong and has the power of a paramecia-type devil fruit whose name is still unknown. His devil fruit is able to manipulate the age of others. That means, Bonney can reduce and increase a person's age.
Akainu once said that Bonney was detained by the World Government, but managed to escape. Akainu intends to recapture Bonney because they (the World Government) need Bonney. When Bonney was defeated by Teach and Akainu, the Marines managed to capture Bonney again, and until now Bonney is still being held by the World Government. Because he has a devil fruit ability that the World Government can take advantage of, it's impossible for Bonney to just end up in Impel Down prison.
Maybe at this time, Bonney was used to become a slave to the Gorosei. Bonney is forced to use her devil fruit powers. It is this power that ultimately keeps the Gorosei from growing old and makes their lives immortal. So the question is, if Bonney is able to make other people younger, why can't he make the Gorosei younger?
Most likely, the Gorosei didn't know about Bonney's ability to make other people younger. The Gorosei only know that Bonney can keep others from growing old. The information the Gorosei had regarding Bonney was limited. Whereas if the Gorosei could return to their youth, they would be even stronger than they are now.
Or maybe the Gorosei just realized Bonney's abilities and still haven't used them. It could be, many people will suspect the Gorosei when they suddenly become younger. The Gorosei still have to survive with their current form, so that all Im Sama's plans can continue to run well. So they saved Bonney's true abilities for the pinch.
The Gorosei will likely use Bonney's abilities when the ultimate war occurs, involving the Straw Hats. Because it seems, the peak war will be the last war that will take place in One Piece, which will involve all World Government troops against pirates.
