Five Elders



The heads of the Government are the Gorōsei (五老星 Five Elder Stars). They are the five men who rule above the Marines, the Cipher Pol and made a pact with the Shichibukai.

The tall thin one with the moustache (second from right) spoke with Professor Clover, ordered Spandine to kill him (although in the anime and manga the person screaming into the Den Den Mushi is seen to be without such a sriking moustache and so it maybe that it was another member) and initiate the Buster Call.

They have shown to have at least a basic knowledge of the occurrences of the Void century, according to their shocked reactions to professor Clover's statements.
