Currently, spoilers for Elbaf in One Piece are on fire, after all, the Holy Knights have been dominating the saga giants with a cruel objective: to subjugate Elbaf and force its inhabitants to follow the orders of the World Government in future wars. However, as expected, the Straw Hats and their allies did not stand idly by.
Holy Knights: Powerful Monsters in Elbaf
Previously, we already knew that the Holy Knights were absurdly strong. The author Eiichiro Oda made this clear by introducing figures like Shamrock Figarland and Gunko . Shamrock, for example, was shown to be above the level of Loki , one of the most powerful characters in Elbaf. Furthermore, Shamrock believed that Gunko could easily defeat Loki, even without restrictions.
Eventually, we saw other Holy Knights emerge, such as Saint Sommers and Saint Killingham . Both were portrayed as superior fighters to the Vice Admirals of the Navy. However, the greatest distinguishing feature of the Holy Knights is undeniably their immortality. That is, to date, there is no known method to defeat them definitively, and not even Luffy has been able to defeat them.
Gaban knocks down Saint Sommers with a surprising blow
However, in the spoilers for chapter 1148 , we saw a stunning turn of events. Surprisingly, Gaban advanced across the battlefield with impressive speed, covering kilometers in the blink of an eye. Then, he coated his axes with the powerful Supreme King Haki and severed Sommers' arm.
However, the biggest shock came when we realized that Sommers' arm wasn't regenerating. Immediately afterward, Gaban delivered a devastating cut to the Holy Knight's chest, knocking him down completely without a scratch.
Therefore, it's clear that not all Holy Knights are on the power level of a Yonko. Shamrock and Gunko, for example, possess strength equivalent to these emperors of the sea, as does Garling, who also serves the Holy Knights. However, even the "weaker" members of the order, like Sommers, are comparable to the main commanders of the Yonko, and their immortality gives them a unique advantage.
Finally, chapter 1148 of One Piece will be officially released on May 11, 2025. So, get ready to read it for free on Manga Plus!
