Even the creator, Oda, has pointed him out as one of the main characters in a recent chapter, hinting at his increasing importance within the narrative. With the latest plot twists in One Piece, fans are speculating that Garling’s influence will only increase. Lately, we have witnessed Saint Garling Figarland assuming an even more prominent role within the World Government ranks, leading some to ponder whether he will receive additional powers.

For fans of One Piece who are caught up with the storyline, it’s common knowledge that Garling has ascended to the rank of Elder. Notably, all previous Elders in the narrative have demonstrated the power of immortality. Intriguingly, this article will delve into the possibility that Garling may soon gain immortality as well, a topic we shall explore further.

Garling Figarland’s Rise to Five Elders Happened After Saturn’s Fall

Saturn Was Killed By Imu
Garling Was Given The Godhead Position

In One Piece chapter 1125, it was revealed that St Garling Figarland had joined the Five Elders. This surprising development fits well with the story’s overall narrative. The reason for a new Elder position becoming available was due to the failure of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn on Egghead. Fans will remember that Saturn’s mission was to assassinate Vegapunk, destroy his satellites, and capture the factory, all while making York appear as one of his subordinates so she could ascend to Celestial Dragon status. Saint Saturn accomplished half of his task. He effortlessly overpowered any resistance on Egghead, but he underestimated the power of the Straw Hat Pirates, which resulted in his mission remaining unfinished.

Well then, let’s work together to make the world peaceful, my fellow Elders! – Garling

He did manage to kill Stella, but not all the other Vegapunks were dead. Similarly, Kuma and Bonney both managed to survive, and at the same time, Joy Boy managed to escape as well. To compound his failures even more, Vegapunk’s message was transmitted to all over the world, and now, the deepest secrets of the World Government are already out. All this was made possible because of Luffy, and as a result, there had to be punishment for this. While Saturn certainly couldn’t have done much, Imu did not care. As a result, Saturn was essentially killed by Imu in the most vicious of ways, and with that, the Five Elders had an opening in their ranks.

Saturn’s demise signified the introduction of a fresh Five Elders member to the audience, and fans were taken aback when they discovered it was none other than Saint Garling Figarland. He made his way into the Room of Authority, where the Elders reside, and now sits among them. He’s currently strategizing for the upcoming war that will unfold in the future of One Piece.

Will Garling Figarland Gain Immortality?

Garling Figarland Is Sure To Power Up Even More From Here Onwards

Indeed, since Garling Figarland has advanced to Elder status, fans are curious if he’ll acquire Immortality or not. However, this question isn’t straightforwardly answered and it’s difficult for fans to accurately guess the outcome. Nevertheless, there are various intriguing ways that Oda might address this conundrum. One thing that fans can confirm is that Elders were once merely human, as they were part of the Founding 20, without any special abilities. They later obtained these powers, which was evident in One Piece chapter 1125. Essentially, Imu removed Saturn’s Immortality powers, causing him to age rapidly and eventually transform into a skeleton.

At the conclusion of events, it appears that Saturn was returned to his original age, implying that Imu granted immortality to him. If Imu could bestow immortality upon Saturn and later take it away, there’s no question that he can do so for another individual like Saint Garling Figarland. This would significantly boost his power, making him a formidable adversary in the final Saga of One Piece.

Let’s run. It’s useless, these guys cannot die! – Luffy

Oda might explore another angle here. It’s possible that the reason Imu was able to bestow immortality upon the Elders only happened during the Void Century. If this is the path Oda chooses, it means Saint Garling won’t become immortal, but he’ll stand out as the most exceptional Elder. Instead of enduring immense damage, he’ll be more agile and nimble. His abilities will excel in other areas of combat, making him a character fans might appreciate. However, it’s also likely that Garling could still acquire immortality, which seems to be the more probable scenario.

How Strong Is Garling Figarland?

Garling Figarland Is Likely Stronger Than The Yonko

St Garling Figarland is already one of the strongest characters in One Piece. This shouldn’t be doubted by any fan. 38 years ago, he became the Champion of God Valley, and even to this day, he carries fame from long ago. This is essentially confirmation of the fact that Garling Figarland is in a completely different league when compared to the other Celestial Dragons, aside from the Five Elders. Furthermore, fans know that he is Shanks’s dad, which is further proof of the fact that he is very strong. He was seen taking up arms against the Roger Pirates and the Rocks pirates on God Valley, and the fact that he managed to survive is proof of his strength. Furthermore, Saint Garling most likely has a very powerful Devil Fruit as well, given that he won the Native Hunting Games, and the reward for winning the games was powerful Devil Fruits.

His Haki is likely tremendously powerful, as implied by the connection with Shanks, and at the same time, he has potentially a very overpowered Devil Fruit. It is safe to say that Saint Garling Figarland is already on the level of the Yonko. This also fits portrayal-wise, given that he’s the leader of the God’s Knights and is drawn in parallel to Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army. Fans know that these two units are going to fight soon, and Dragon’s very own opponent is going to be none other than Garling Figarland. Of course, this confrontation is likely not going to happen anymore due to his promotion to Five Elders, but the portrayal certainly does exist.

Over and above Garling’s existing abilities, bestowing upon him the power of immortality would make him a character more formidable than the Yonko in One Piece. Considering all aspects, Saint Garling seems to be shaping up as one of the main adversaries in One Piece, and fans are eagerly anticipating what he will show us of his capabilities.
