Summary
- The Gods’ Knights plan to kidnap Elbaf’s children for a takeover by using powerful Devil Fruit abilities.
- The trio’s Devil Fruit powers work very well together to execute their plan.
- The final showdowns in Elbaf will be cerebral, requiring strategy over brute strength.
It’s evident that the Gods’ Knights haven’t yet been involved in any confrontations within the Elbaf arc of One Piece, but it seems they are poised to become the final antagonists. Their master plan has surfaced, which involves abducting the young ones of Elbaf as hostages. This tactic would weaken their country significantly, allowing them to execute a powerful takeover on the island that has remained out of reach for the World Government for more than 800 years.
Despite St. Figarland Shamrock, who is presumably the most potent among them, having departed from the island, the rest of their group persists in executing their prearranged scheme. At present, they are demonstrating tenacity with their astonishingly powerful Devil Fruit abilities, which appear to be so formidable that they could potentially pose the gravest danger to Elbaf and the heroes. So, let’s observe how this unfolds in the context of One Piece.

Previously mentioned, the main strategy of the Divine Soldiers on Elbaf involves abducting children with an aim to weaken the nation, paving the way for a potential invasion by the World Government. From Chapter 1142, it appears that their scheme is unfolding as the special abilities of each of the three Gods’ Knights appear to be working together towards this objective.
Initially, it’s crucial to ponder over St. Shepherd Sommers’ enigmatic and potent Devil Fruit, a Paramecia Type, which might have the capacity to materialize the most terrifying fears of its victims. In Chapter 1142, the pupils from Walrus School vocalized their deepest fears, and astonishingly, those exact fears took physical form in colossal shapes that made even the Giants of Elbaf appear minuscule. What makes this more chilling is that these fears are actual entities, not mere figments of someone’s imagination.

In addition, it appears that St. Killingham possesses a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, giving him an impressive level of strength. Moreover, the halo of smoke encircling him suggests that he has awakened this power, making him potentially more lethal than initially thought. Although the specific abilities and characteristics of this fruit are yet to be fully understood, Chapter 1142 hints at a capability to put his targets into a trance-like state from which they seem unable to awaken, effectively rendering them incapable of further combat.
Ultimately, the name of Gunko’s Aro Aro no Mi is the sole Devil Fruit among the Gods’ Knights whose identity has been disclosed. However, the exact nature of its abilities continues to be a topic of debate. She possesses the ability to materialize arrows from her person, which serve as a predetermined guide for any following them. This could potentially amplify her subsequent attack if it strikes its target. Moreover, these arrows can also function independently as piercing projectiles aimed at her foes.
Combining these Devil Fruits creates a formidable alliance of powers that can be quite perilous to confront, as demonstrated in Chapter 1142. By summoning the immense fears of children, St. Sommers created a powerful diversion that drew the attention of nearly every Giant on Elbaf. Meanwhile, St. Killingham lulled all the children into slumber with his abilities. Lastly, Gunko skillfully guided the children away from the school using her arrows, amplifying the effectiveness of these three Devil Fruits when utilized together.
Delving into this exciting adventure, I can’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation about the impending confrontations between the Straw Hats and the Gods’ Knights. Unlike any battles we’ve witnessed before, these encounters promise to be a mental exercise rather than just a physical one. The choice to pit our heroes against Sommers and Killingham is a masterstroke, as they’ll need to engage their minds more than ever. These foes wield powers that can only be conquered by strategic thinking and intellect, not merely brute force. It’s an intellectual showdown in the making!
What Are The Match-Ups In Elbaf?
Which Hero Will Fight Which Villain?
Similar to previous arcs of “One Piece”, the upcoming final fights will pit our heroes against their primary adversaries, with each combatant facing a specific opponent. Yet, it’s challenging to imagine suitable opponents for Gear 5 Luffy, given his immense power, as he has already demonstrated the ability to confront the Five Elders simultaneously on Egghead Island. With Shamrock having departed, it appears that Luffy is currently without an adversary to face off against.
It’s possible that Loki, after being released, might carry on his destructive spree across the island, given his Sun God Devil Fruit’s immense power. This could lead to a confrontation with Luffy, as they would be evenly matched in a fight. Meanwhile, it seems that the non-combatant Straw Hats and Giants might unite to subdue Sommer’s manifestations. Zoro is likely to engage with the real Sommer, while Sanji could find himself going head-to-head with Killingham.
