The Arrival Of The Holy Knights On Elbaf

  • The Reason Is To Take Control Of Elbaf

Once the Elbaf arc in One Piece started, hints about the World Government’s involvement in Elbaf became clearer. This was further supported when Oda subtly foreshadowed the arrival of a certain man to Elbaf, introducing a shadowy figure who looked like Shanks within the country at the same time.

Ahoy there, fellow One Piece fans! I can hardly contain my excitement as we’ve finally set sail for Elbaf! This laid-back kingdom may seem peaceful now, but brace yourself for the impending storm caused by a certain man’s arrival! And let me tell you, the tranquility in other seas will soon be nothing but a memory too!

Now, hold onto your hats as that one guy embarks on a mission to rock the very foundations of our world! Deep breath now, because 2025 is shaping up to be a whirlwind year filled with unparalleled excitement and adventure in One Piece! So, grab your favorite straw hat and join me for this thrilling voyage ahead! Let’s make 2025 the best year yet in the world of One Piece! – Eiichiro Oda

In simpler terms, Oda’s message was somewhat vague, but his warning about a specific individual entering the country and causing unrest left no room for doubt. Following this, as followers are aware, the Holy Knights promptly arrived in Elbaf, with their objective being to locate Loki. Upon entering Elbaf through Aurust Castle, the Holy Knights encountered two giants guarding the castle who were quickly defeated. It’s suspected that they unwittingly disclosed Loki’s location, enabling the Holy Knights to traverse the island and reach the Underworld where Loki was being kept. Readers then witnessed the Holy Knights in the Underworld, petitioning Loki to join their order. Being selected to join the Holy Knights would be an exceptional honor as it would also elevate one to the status of Celestial Dragons. Yet, surprisingly, Loki declined the invitation, choosing not to associate with the unscrupulous nature of the Celestial Dragons.

In chapter 1137, the storyline proceeded further, with fans witnessing Loki undergoing torture at the hands of the Holy Knights, hoping he’d join them. However, Gunko, leveraging her Devil Fruit abilities, couldn’t persuade Loki to defect, even though she inflicted heavy damage on him. This turn of events adds a layer of intrigue, as the mission of the Holy Knights is far from over in Elbaf. They remain determined and will relentlessly push forward until they achieve their objective.

Shamrock Figarland Set To Launch A War On Elbaf

When Loki declined, it was evident that the Holy Knights were adjusting their tactics. In this shift, fans were given a complete unveiling of the primary adversary in this arc, who was the person Oda mentioned during Jump Festa – none other than Shanks’ twin brother and Garling’s son, Shamrock Figarland. He now leads the Holy Knights, and spectators are eagerly anticipating the progression as Shamrock assumes command of the circumstances at hand. The original objective for the Holy Knights had been made clear.

They aimed to bring Loki along and transform him into a Celestial Dragon, hoping this alliance would win over the Prince of Elbaf, causing his kingdom to naturally submit to his rule. Additionally, having Loki on their side would make it impossible for anyone to challenge them within the kingdom, granting the government control over the mighty Elbaf Giants. This tactic is reminiscent of Big Mom’s strategy, where she proposed a marriage pact between Loki and Lola as a means to reconcile with the Giants and gain access to their power. With this power at her disposal, Big Mom believed she could outmatch all the Yonko, even Whitebeard. Shamrock supports this idea, pointing out that in the past, the Elbaf Giants conquered the entire New World through sheer strength. Now, with wars escalating and strength becoming increasingly important, the World Government is keen to harness the true power of the Elbaf Giants.

At the conclusion of chapter 1137 in “One Piece,” Shamrock was spotted reaching out to Marijoa. This implies a shift in their strategy as they plan to subdue Elbaf using alternative methods, primarily military force. Excited fans eagerly anticipate watching the events unfold, as the World Government prepares to deploy powerful adversaries towards Elbaf.

New World’s Most Dangerous War Is Set To Begin

The Giants Vs The Government Is About To Happen

With two members of the Holy Knights currently in Elbaf, it’s reasonable to expect more reinforcements. The fans can anticipate a larger number of Holy Knights being dispatched to the country, aiming for a strategic offensive. There’s a possibility that an Elder might also be sent, although it seems less likely at this point as the main focus appears to be on the Holy Knights. The total force of the Holy Knights is around 9, and if they are as powerful as the Admirals, with Shamrock being comparable to a Yonko, the fans can expect an intense war to erupt in Elbaf. It’s not unthinkable that the World Government might employ the Ancient Weapon for this conflict, given its potential to alter the balance of power worldwide.
