Oda Reveals Major Power-Up for Straw Hats in Elbaf Arc!

This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf arc.

Summary

  • The Holy Knights are ferocious immortal fighters in One Piece.
  • The Straw Hat Pirates need major power-ups to battle the Holy Knights.
  • Haki is the most likely power-up for the Straw Hat Pirates against the Holy Knights.

At the moment, the storyline of “One Piece” revolves around the Straw Hat Pirates, who are grappling with the danger from the Holy Knights in Warland, Elbaf. This new story arc has kicked off dramatically, and as the narrative unfolds, tension in Elbaf is certain to increase. It’s clear that the Holy Knights pose a significant risk to the people of Elbaf, as they’ve already caused chaos within the country.

For the Straw Hat Pirates to defeat their opponents, they must perform at their peak. However, it’s crucial to note that the crew isn’t operating at full capacity. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, who are among the strongest members of the team, are absent from battle right now. Consequently, the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates have to shoulder all the responsibility. Facing off against the Holy Knights, victory won’t come easily. That’s why it’s essential for the Straw Hats to strengthen themselves significantly in the future.

The Holy Knights Are Beastly Immortal Fighters

  • The Holy Knights Possess Tremendous Devil Fruit Abilities
  • They Are Immortal

In One Piece, the Holy Knights are renowned for their fierce combat skills, and fans are well aware of this fact. Their power is indisputably immense, as demonstrated by the fact that only three of them could cause seismic activity in a nation as powerful as Elbaf. One of their commanders, Shamrock Figarland, is known to be as strong as a Yonko, while their Supreme Commander, Garling, is an Elder and possibly even stronger. In summary, the Holy Knights are true combat titans, with those on Elbaf not necessarily the strongest but still powerful enough to challenge a Yonko crew. This was evident in One Piece chapter 1145, where Gunko single-handedly defeated Brook, Nami, Usopp, and Jinbe.

The Straw Hat Pirates face a challenging situation as their adversaries, the Holy Knights, possess immortality. Any harm inflicted upon them is futile because they can heal from any damage. Despite this formidable opposition, the Straw Hats have vowed to defeat these powerful beings. The struggle ahead won’t be simple, but their loyalty to their cause won’t waver. To prevail against the Giants, the Straw Hat Pirates must grow stronger, and it seems that Oda has some power-ups planned for them.

The Straw Hats Will Get Power-Ups Vs The Holy Knights

Haki Is The Most Likely Power-Up

The Straw Hat Pirates are powerful indeed, yet they lack the strength to defeat the Holy Knights. To overcome this challenge, they need to enhance their abilities significantly. In the upcoming Elbaf arc of One Piece, it’s predicted that the Straw Hat Pirates will acquire Haki as a power-up.

For Usopp, simply mastering Armament Haki would be beneficial. For Robin, both Armament and Observation Haki are essential if she’s to stand a chance against Sommers. Nami, at the very least, needs Observation Haki. As for Jinbe, it would be advantageous for him to unlock Advanced Armament Haki.

Gaban Is A Haki Master

One significant figure who could potentially bring down the Holy Knights is Scopper Gaban. He’s renowned for his immense power, and unlike others, he doesn’t rely on a Devil Fruit. Instead, he wields terrifying Haki, making him a formidable adversary. If Gaban were to instruct the Straw Hats in the use of Haki, it would undoubtedly be an exciting development.
