Why the God’s Knights Are Coming to Elbaf Revealed!

Summary

God’s Knights target Loki for recruitment due to his strength and heritage, but he refuses.
Knights create chaos in Elbaf to display their power and weaken giant warriors.
Their goal is to recruit giants as super soldiers for an impending war, erasing their history if needed.

Upon reaching Elbaf, the island of giants, Luffy and his crew’s biggest concern becomes freeing Loki from his restraints. However, a situation even more dire arises: two God’s Knights hail from Mary Geoise, the sacred land. These ruthless and amoral individuals operate under the authority of the World Government. Shortly after their appearance, they stirred up numerous issues for the citizens of Elbaf.

As an observer, I’ve noticed that the divine warriors known as the God’s Knights can seem harsh and without compassion, but they never act without a well-defined purpose. Their presence in Elbaf has left many questioning their true intentions. From what I’ve gathered from recent events, it appears their objectives revolve around:

1. Retrieving the Poneglyphs: These ancient artifacts hold knowledge crucial to the discovery of Raftel and the legendary Roger’s hidden treasure. The God’s Knights are likely seeking these Poneglyphs for reasons yet unknown.
2. Protecting the World Government: The knights may be acting on behalf of the World Government, ensuring its continued power and stability in Elbaf.
3. Fulfilling a Divine Prophecy: Some theories suggest that the God’s Knights are following a divine prophecy that foretells a significant event involving Raftel or the future of the world itself.
4. Pursuing Personal Goals: It is also possible that individual knights have personal motivations for their actions in Elbaf, such as seeking power or redemption.

These objectives are speculative based on the latest chapters, but they offer insight into the possible reasons behind the God’s Knights’ presence in Elbaf. The truth will likely be unveiled as the story unfolds.

7. To Recruit Loki

To Recruit the Enemy of the Giants

Name: Loki
Affiliation: Elbaf
First Appearance: Chapter 1130

Upon their arrival in Elbaf for the first time, Figarland Shamrock and Gunko swiftly set out to locate Loki, the once-revered prince of this land. Their purpose was to extend an invitation to him, a chance to join the esteemed ranks of the God’s Knights.

The question posed is essentially asking why Loki, of all the giants on the island, was chosen.

The reason behind singling out Loki among the giants resides in a few key factors. Firstly, his lineage from the Ancient Giants through his father bestows upon him an inherent strength and size that surpasses his contemporaries. Secondly, he is the sole giant capable of handling Ragnir, the revered weapon of the giant race. However, Loki, being proud, refuses this position, much to the dismay of others.

6. A Show of Force

Showing the Might of the Holy Land

Name: Figarland Shamrock
Affiliation: God’s Knights
First Appearance: Episode 887

Following Gunko’s summoning of the divine knights, Sommers and Killingham, who were then dispatched back to the Holy Land, subsequently unleash chaos on the island of Elbaf. This destructive behavior will be further discussed in a later point. One reason for their actions is to exhibit their formidable powers, or more specifically, to demonstrate the immense might of the God’s Knights to the giants.

In the world, giants are considered the most powerful race due to their colossal stature and immense might. Yet, the World Government, particularly the World Nobles, believe they represent the pinnacle of evolution. The God’s Knights’ infiltration into Elbaf and the ensuing chaos serves as a deliberate show of strength aimed at intimidating the giants. In essence, their actions convey: We are superior to you in strength.

5. Kidnap the Giant’s Children

Hostages and Bargaining Chips

Name: Shepherd Sommers
Affiliation: God’s Knights
First Appearance: Chapter 1140

The God’s Champions might have a high opinion of themselves, but they understand that it’s impossible for just three of them to confront every giant on the island all at once. Instead, they can devise a strategy to prevent the giants from attacking them directly. One method could be by capturing the giants’ offspring, thus keeping the giants preoccupied and less likely to engage in combat with them.

Just as anticipated, the colossal warriors will not harm the divine knights, provided they hold onto the hostage children. However, there’s a darker intention behind their actions. The God’s Knights plan to transform these innocent kids into slaves for the World Government. Their aim is to mold and train the children into elite soldiers who would serve exclusively under the World Government, essentially creating a private army of super soldiers.

4. Creating Chaos in Elbaf

An Assault on All Fronts

Name: Rimoshifu Killingham
Affiliation: God’s Knights
First Appearance: Chapter 1140

Previously stated, the God’s Knights plan to instigate turmoil on the island of Elbaf as a demonstration of strength towards the giants. They achieve this by leveraging Killingham’s Devil Fruit ability, which has the power to put children to sleep and make the monsters from their nightmares materialize in reality.

Eagerly, I find myself constantly amazed by Killingham’s swift monster creation. In mere moments, these beasts are unleashed across Elbaf, causing mayhem and disarray as they target every corner of this resilient island. With each part under simultaneous attack, the giants are left scrambling to safeguard their own villages. This chaotic onslaught, orchestrated by these enigmatic monsters, is exactly what the God’s Knights seem to have planned, sowing confusion and discord among the brave defenders of Elbaf.

3. Crippling the Giants’ Forces

An Effort to Weaken the Warriors

Name: Gunko
Affiliation: God’s Knights
First Appearance: Chapter 1134

The Divine Soldiers aim to harness the strength of the titans, if not, they should at least weaken their forces significantly so that the Titans cannot challenge the World Government in the future. While the giant warriors are indeed formidable, a horde of gigantic beasts ravaging their island would pose a considerable threat.

The confusion created by this situation provides an advantage to the God’s Knights for kidnapping children. Once the giants discover that their offspring are being taken, they grow even more agitated and disordered. This disorder highlights the main vulnerability of the current giant warriors – a lack of decisive leadership. Even the strongest warriors may eventually break down if they fight without a clear plan.

2. Burn the Libraries

Erasing the Giants’ History

Name: Jaguar D. Saul
Affiliation: Elbaf
First Appearance: Episode 275

Upon successfully abducting the kids and wreaking havoc across the entire island, the Divine Knights at last reveal a crucial motive for their visit. As a barter for the children’s safety, they command the titans to torch their vast, sacred library.

I stand amidst one of the world’s oldest and most esteemed libraries, the grand library of Elbaf. Once home to the precious tomes that Saul successfully salvaged from the ashes of Ohara, this library stands as a testament to the resilience of knowledge. It is no overstatement to say that its significance is global.

Beyond its role in preserving literature, this library serves as a time capsule for the rich history of the colossal race. The prospect of destroying such a repository is akin to obliterating their chronicles and heritage – an objective that the God’s Knights appear determined to accomplish.

1. Forcing the Giant Warriors to Fight

To Become Slaves and Mercenaries of the World Government

Name: Dorry and Brogy
Affiliation: Giant Warrior Pirates
First Appearance: Episode 71

In essence, the kidnapping of the children and previous actions serve as minor goals. Primarily, the God’s Knights are dispatched to Elbaf with the main intention of compelling the giant warriors to battle on behalf of the World Government.

The global governing body anticipates a massive conflict erupting soon, one capable of plunging the world into turmoil and devastation. While it’s certain that Marine forces will contribute significantly to their military might, they believe this may not be sufficient. Consequently, they are actively seeking out formidable alien races and influential individuals to bolster their expanding armed forces.

Standing as formidable forces among the world’s warriors, these colossal beings hold sway over the tides of power. Their allegiance in the impending conflict could tip the scales decisively. Consequently, the God’s Knights are resolute in their pursuit to enlist them, ready to go to great lengths to achieve this goal.
