The Compelling Tale of the Seraphim in One Piece
An intriguing arc in the current One Piece narrative features an instrument of destruction, known as the Seraphim or Pacifista human weapons. Stemming from the Egghead Island plot, these bespoke entities are engineered substitutes for the Seven Warlords of the Sea. This unique twist presents an enigma that could alter the series’ final saga, especially regarding the World Government’s controlling stake.
The Superior prowess of the Seraphim
These lethal human weapons debuted when the Marines chose to cast aside the Warlords and capture each one, spearheaded by Boa Hancock. The Seraphim shook the One Piece cosmos due to the overwhelming power they wielded. They not only mirrored the Warlords in appearance but also inherited their exceptional capabilities.
Fueling their power was the lineage factor from the Lunarian tribe (King), along with a unique green blood that gave them access to Paramecia-type Devil Fruits powers. Their debut showdown against the Blackbeard Pirates, specifically the fight between the Seraphim clone of Mihawk, S-Hawk, and the Pirates was a demonstration of their unrivalled strength. Many predicted Blackbeard, a Yonko, would have the upper hand. But the Seraphim presented formidable opposition to both him and his crew, underlining their status as one of the most potent weapons in One Piece.
Potential Achilles’ Heel of the Seraphim
Despite their formidable strength, the human weapon has a possible weakness. The flaw lies in their lineage factor, combined with the Warlords’ features augmented onto them. These modifications have led the Seraphim not only to adopt the abilities of the Seven Warlords of the Sea but to develop similar personalities. This trait became evident in the interaction between Luffy and Hancock’s Seraphim S-Snake.
Just like Hancock, S-Snake’s beauty had no effect on Luffy, which left the Seraphim bewildered and compliant to Luffy’s commands. This suggests that their personalities could override their programmed commands, which might pose a significant threat to the World Government’s control.
The Warlords had proven to be challenging for the World Government to control, leading to their disbandment. If the Seraphim truly inherit the Warlords’ personalities, they could also rebel against the World Government’s authority.
Could the Seraphim Overtake the World Government?
Should the Seraphim decide to take command, they would likely act according to their own dictate or mimic the actions of the Warlords they resemble. This potential shift would threaten the World Government’s rule and potentially shift the balance of power in the One Piece universe.
The real question arises: did Dr. Vegapunk knowingly embed this weakness into the Seraphim to potentially destabilize the World Government’s control over them? If true, this would present a fascinating twist in the storyline that fans will be eagerly anticipating.
