Eiichiro Oda’sOne Pieceis known for having one of the best character development elements in the series. Not only that, the character development is not limited to the protagonist or the main characters of the story. The antagonists are also seen growing and becoming more villainous as the series moves forward.
Also, as the Straw Hats keeps on moving closer to theOne Piecetreasure, the antagonists keep getting more and more menacing. Luffy’s path is getting more and more difficult as he reaches his goal of becoming the King of the Pirates. And this time, as the final saga has started, the antagonist of the Egghead arc, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, may be the most devious villain Luffy has ever encountered.
The series has shown many negative characters over 25 years, but none of them compares to the manipulation and horrors that Saturn has devised involving Kuma, Bonney, and Ginny. This ultimately makes him the most immoral villain of all time in theOne Pieceuniverse.

The Antagonists inOne Piece
Throughout its nearly 25-year run as one of the best anime series of all time,One Piecehas exposed viewers to a wide range of antagonists that Luffy and his team have had to battle. He has faced and defeated enemies that were stronger than the last, and the enemies he has not yet faced are undoubtedly more formidable than the ones he has already defeated.
Villains fromOne Piecelike Donquixote Doflamingo leave a lasting impression, whether they are destroying entire kingdoms or bringing one of Luffy’s friends to tears. A few of these antagonists possess motivations that validate their deeds, while others are fundamentally corrupt.
Whatever the reason behind their nature, these villains’ actions make it easy for fans to detest them. But the latest antagonist introduced in the Egghead arc: Saint Jaygarcia Saturn may have trumped over all these antagonists and has proved why these villains are not even in the same league as him.

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn May Be the Most Heinous Villain inOne PieceHistory
Saturn can easily be called the most menacing villain inOne Piece’shistory because of the level of manipulation and deceit he committed in the lives of Bartholomew Kuma and Jewelry Bonney. He is the reason why Kuma has become a mindless cyborg in the first place, and he is also the one who got Bonney’s mother killed.
But Saturn has been manipulating Kuma’s life way before all this even started. Every step of Kuma’s journey was marked with anguish and torment by Saturn’s manipulation and meddling. Saturn personally confronted Kuma when he was a child in God Valley, abusing and scolding him for desiring to live a free life rather than one as a slave.

He also attempted to usurp Kuma’s position as ruler of the Sorbet Kingdom. In addition to causing more suffering, Saturn was the one who persuaded Kuma to assist the World Government in return for Bonney, his daughter, receiving medical care. All these events prove that Saturn may be the most menacing and heinous villain inOne Piece’shistory.
