Summary

The Elbaf storyline within One Piece has been a massive success with fans thus far, and it’s already evident that this arc is contending for the best in the entire series so far. As each new chapter unfolds, Elbaf becomes more captivating, and with many thrilling events involving Loki and others still to come, this arc will likely continue to improve. With a conclusive storyline now developing in Elbaf, it’s only a matter of time before some intriguing villains make an appearance.

Earlier in the series, Oda presented fans with two Holy Knights who intended to enlist Loki for their ranks. However, circumstances evolved significantly over time, and now, new members of the Holy Knights have entered the storyline penned by Oda. The narrative promises to become even more thrilling as these fresh characters assume significant antagonist roles in the upcoming arc within the One Piece universe.

The Plan Of The Holy Knights In Elbaf

  • The Holy Knights Want To Bring Elbaf To Heel
  • The Plan Is To Take Children To Marijoa

Intriguingly enough, the Holy Knights stand out among the most fascinating characters within the realm of One Piece. Despite their sudden appearance during the Final Saga, it’s clear that they were intended for a pivotal role in the closing chapters of the story and not to be unveiled prematurely. Now that the Final Saga is unfolding, it’s no wonder the Holy Knights are set to make their mark. It appears we will witness these characters being defeated one by one, with Elbaf being the arc where One Piece may see its first taste of defeat for the Holy Knights. Their presence in Elbaf was hinted at around chapter 1140 of One Piece.

Here, Oda signaled to fans that the Holy Knights would play a significant role in the storyline, one way or another. It wasn’t long before fans discovered that their objective was to enlist Loki as a Holy Knight, with the ultimate goal of having him on board to claim Elbaf in its entirety. However, this ambition also had a hidden agenda – they needed the new King of Elbaf to side with them, as controlling Elbaf would then place the country under the influence of the World Government, either directly or indirectly. Yet, Loki refused their proposition, leading them to explore other options.

The World Government shall bring Elbaf to heel, no matter what! — Shamrock Figarland

In the 1138th chapter of One Piece, it became evident that a plan was underway to forcibly take children from Elbaf and possibly transfer them to the World Government’s side. By capturing these children and using them as bargaining chips, they aimed to gain an advantage in any negotiations. In pursuit of this objective, Shamrock sought to enlist another Holy Knight to aid them. To achieve this, Gunko summoned two additional members of the Holy Knights via the Abyss’s power and a summoning circle connected to Imu.

The Introduction Of Two New Holy Knights In Elbaf

Two More Holy Knights Appear Instead Of Just One

In chapter 1140 of One Piece, it was evident that Shamrock intended for a single member of the Holy Knights to show up. However, to everyone’s surprise, two members made an appearance instead. The explanation for this unexpected occurrence was given by Oda. It turns out that Shamrock has been absent from Marijoa for quite a while, which is why he wasn’t fully aware of the predicament Marijoa was currently facing. Due to his absence, orders from superior authorities asked Shamrock to return to the Holy Land. In his stead, two other members of the Holy Knights appeared in Elbaf; these individuals hailed from influential Celestial Dragon families and possessed immense power.

Saint Qilingam Of House Limosiv

In One Piece chapter 1140, it’s Saint Qilingam who makes his debut as the first member among the Holy Knights. He hails from House Limosiv, a fresh royal lineage within the Founding 20, and showcases an impressive strength that suggests ties to the Kirin powers.

For the uninitiated, Kirin is a legendary being often depicted as a fusion between a giraffe and a dragon, commonly referred to as a Chimera. This extraordinary creature is renowned for its immense power, so anyone possessing this ability would undoubtedly stand head and shoulders above typical Zoan users.

In anime like Naruto, the Kirin is often linked with lightning, but its true nature may vary. The Kirin can also be connected with fire-breathing, controlling air and wind, shaping surroundings by growing plants upon arrival, and more. This creature’s power seems versatile, so it will be exciting to see how Oda uses this Holy Knight. Additionally, the character wields a trident alongside an awakened Devil Fruit, making him an intriguing adversary for others.

Saint Summer Of House Shepherd

From my vantage point, I’ve noticed another figure hailing from House Shepherd, the same lineage as Ju Peter, causing quite a stir among fans – Saint Summer. At present, the extent of his abilities remains undisclosed, unlike Qilingam who’s already demonstrated his prowess. However, what we do know is that Summer wields a sword with a prickly hilt, and it’s widely expected that he will be formidably powerful, perhaps even on par with Qilingam. It’s an exciting prospect for fans, as both characters seem capable of challenging the Admirals in strength.

The Hunting Game At Elbaf Begin

The Main Event Is About To Start

In chapter 1140 of One Piece, the appearance of Qilingam and Summer has ignited an even larger event. Shamrock has proposed a new game, which we’re not sure about its specifics yet, but it’s guaranteed to be thrilling. However, what fans can predict with confidence is that Elbaf will face a multitude of problems due to these games.

Our goal is to selectively recruit some children from here and escort them to the Holy Land using our ships since we can’t use Abyss.

In a fashion reminiscent of ancient hunting games played by natives on God Valley, we might find striking similarities. It’s plausible that more members of the Holy Knights will make an appearance as well. Currently, four have assembled, and it seems Oda is set to portray intense battles in the forthcoming narrative.

You can find the popular series “One Piece” through Viz Media. Fans are able to read it officially and free of charge on both the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. Mark your calendars as the next chapter, One Piece 1140, is scheduled for release on February 23, 2025.
