Elbaf arc in One Piece is revealing mystery after mystery. Beyond the intense battles, the arc promises to deepen the series' lore, exploring secrets about Nika and the true history of the world. After the confrontation at Egghead against Kizaru and the Gorosei , Luffy's crew heads towards the legendary Kingdom of the Giants, Elbaf.
At the beginning of the arc, we meet two Holy Knights: Shamrock Figarland and his subordinate, Gunko . They attempt to recruit Prince Loki into their organization, but fail. Despite Loki's hostility toward the Celestial Dragons , the proposal demonstrates the power and influence of the Holy Knights, a force feared even by the Revolutionary Army.
Shamrock Figarland did not replace Garling
Garling Figarland 's position , but this is not true. According to the @newworldartur on social media, Shamrock is called " Danchou " (Commander), while Garling was the " Saikou Shireikan " (Supreme Commander). These are different titles, indicating that Garling still holds a higher position.
Garling, after Saturn's death in chapter 1125, became the new Warrior God of Science and Defense , a prominent position among the Gorosei. Prior to this, he was the Supreme Commander of the Holy Knights and had the authority to judge World Nobles, including executing Saint Mjosgard.
Although Shamrock is Garling's son and the leader of the Holy Knights, he has not achieved the same level of power. His goal is darkly ambitious: to subjugate Elbaf and bring it under the control of the World Government.
