Elbaf arc in One Piece is revealing mystery after mystery. Beyond the intense battles, the arc promises to delve deeper into the series' lore, exploring secrets about Nika and the true history of the world. After the confrontation in Egghead against Kizaru and the Gorosei , Luffy's crew heads towards the legendary Kingdom of 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 the organization, but fail. Despite Loki's hostility towards the Celestial Dragons , the proposal demonstrates the power and influence of the Holy Knights, a force feared even by the Revolutionary Army.

Garling, after Saturn's death in chapter 1125, became the new Warrior God of Science and Defense , a prominent position among the Gorosei. Before that, 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 leader of the Holy Knights, he has not attained the same level of power. His goal is darkly ambitious: to subjugate Elbaf and place it under the control of the World Government.
