by

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

Summary

  • Gunko is one of Elbaf’s strongest with dangerous abilities.
  • Gaban, former Roger crew member, remains powerful in his old age.
  • Loki, a world destroyer, holds immense power comparable to a Yonko.

Approximately 15 chapters into it now, fans can hardly contain their enthusiasm for the progression of the “One Piece” Elbaf saga. This storyline has been absolutely captivating thus far, and there’s no doubt in my mind that it will continue to impress as time goes on.

It’s no wonder fans can hardly contain their excitement as they eagerly anticipate the start of the main conflict in this nation, given all the intriguing aspects at play. As Oda skillfully sets up this grand event, he’s also subtly unveiling the most powerful characters within the country. With One Piece chapter 1140, it has become apparent that Oda has established his primary antagonists for this arc – they are known as the Holy Knights. All the principal figures have now assembled in Elbaf, indicating that the strongest forces of the arc have already amassed and are poised to ignite spectacular action very soon.

Gunko Is Among The Five Strongest On The Island

  • Gunko’s Abilities Are Dangerous
  • Shamrock Considered Her To Be Strong Enough To Handle Loki

On the island of Elbaf, it’s clear that the Holy Knights stand out as some of the most formidable characters. For the storyline to maintain its intensity and suspense, they must be strong. If the Holy Knights were weak, the arc would lack tension and they could easily be defeated. Given this, each Holy Knight currently on Elbaf is expected to display immense power, leaving fans eagerly anticipating their full potential. While Saint Qilingam of House Limosiv and Saint Summers of House Shepherd are known to be powerful figures as well, we haven’t seen enough of them yet. In contrast, Gunko has already demonstrated her immense strength, having handled the challenges of the Underworld effortlessly. Fans are aware that Gunko possesses tremendous power.

You wouldn’t be able to do anything even if you were free. — Shamrock on Loki Vs Gunko

It’s important to note that every creature in the Underworld matches the strength of Luffy when he’s in Gear 4 form. Given this, it’s clear that even without much effort, Gunko exceeds such power levels. Armed with the Aro Aro no Mi, she can spontaneously generate arrows from her own body for combat purposes, and she also has the ability to create arrows from her surroundings. This might indicate that Gunko has awakened the full potential of her devil fruit. Moreover, fans are aware that Gunko’s attacks are nearly inescapable.

The strength of every creature in the Underworld is as powerful as Luffy when he’s using his strongest form (Gear 4). Gunko, without much effort, surpasses this power level. She has a special devil fruit that lets her create arrows from her body and surroundings, which could mean she’s awakened. Plus, her attacks are almost impossible to dodge.

fundamentally, certain attacks by Gunko describe a path as they approach their target. This path serves as a guide for her subsequent actions, making them obvious yet impossible to dodge, which is undeniably intimidating. Interestingly, only Gunko can halt these attacks, and even Loki, in his weakened state due to the Sea Prism Stone chains, was momentarily thrown off balance. However, it’s worth noting that Loki’s weakness played a significant role in this instance. The most telling sign of Gunko’s power is Shamrock’s comment that even if Loki were free, Gunko could still wound him in combat, placing her among the strongest characters.

Gaban Is Old But Still A Monster

The Former Left Hand Of Roger

Currently residing in Elbaf is Scopper Gaban, who serves as the right-hand man to the Pirate King. Despite his advanced age and having passed his prime, one would expect him to be significantly weaker. However, even half of his strength is formidable enough to make a Yonko break into a cold sweat. In chapter 1140 of One Piece, Gaban demonstrated a hint of his power in battle against Luffy. He was observed effortlessly maneuvering around the Yonko, without any weapons, and more than that, leaving Luffy looking utterly foolish.

You sure chatter a lot, boy! — Scopper Gaban to Luffy

After Luffy showed greater determination, Gaban activated his infusion of Conqueror’s Haki, elevating him to one of the most powerful individuals globally, standing alongside figures such as Roger, Whitebeard, Rayleigh, and Garp among others. Notably, Gaban’s attack, known simply by its name and lacking any Haki enhancement, was potent enough to cleave through Aurust Castle and continue slicing through clouds. This suggests that the attack could effortlessly obliterate islands.

Gaban’s true strength might surpass fan expectations significantly, yet presently, he finds himself among the top four most powerful characters within Elbaf.

Loki Is A World Destroyer

The Self Proclaimed Sun God

The formidable Prince Loki from Elbaf, as fans well know, possesses immense power. Initially portrayed as a troublemaker capable of overpowering most opponents, he was seemingly invincible – until he encountered Shanks, the only one known to have defeated him thus far. Loki is rumored to wield power on par with a Yonko or even more, and it’s said that his strength could potentially destroy Elbaf and the entire world. He boasts a staggering bounty of 2.6 billion berries, and his abilities are believed to be colossal. Scopper Gaban suggests that Loki can cause unintended harm, and his power is considered dangerous. For now, though, the extent of his capabilities remains somewhat mysterious.

Luffy Is The Sun God Nika

The Captain Of The Straw Hats

In the world of One Piece, the main character, Luffy, is often considered one of the strongest among Elbaf’s characters. Fans recognize him as a formidable force, particularly since he defeated Kaido in the past. His power is vast, and he possesses all three forms of Haki. Beyond this, Luffy wields the Nika Fruit, and his combined abilities make him a formidable combatant. Luffy has bested opponents such as Kaido and Kizaru. He has overpowered numerous Elders, and his power level is immense indeed. With ease, Luffy can demolish islands, a fact that speaks for itself. Since the last time fans saw him, Luffy has grown stronger, placing him on an entirely new level of strength today.

Shamrock Figarland Should Be Relative To Shanks

The Captain Of The Holy Knights

As an ardent fan of One Piece, I can’t help but feel exhilarated about the prospect of Shamrock Figarland potentially emerging as the dominant force in the Elbaf arc. His strength seems unparalleled, surpassing even Loki, which speaks volumes about his might. Being the son of Garling and brother to Shanks, his power is expected to be nothing short of formidable.

It’s speculated that he wields all types of Haki, including their advanced forms, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. He also holds the power of the Cerberus fruit, making his sword lethally potent as it is said to be wielded by the blade itself.

Considering Shamrock’s strength is believed to be sufficient to subdue Elbaf, it comes as no surprise that he might currently hold the title of the strongest in the country. The anticipation is palpable!
