6 things you need to know about the Knights of God

one piece Rather than including pirate crews like the Beasts Pirates and the Doflamingo family, Luffy's crew guided several teams of villains to fight against. CP9, now CP0, and the Five Elders are all dangerous units that Luffy must fight against, and now there is another unit, the Holy Knights. Also known as the God Knights, this powerful team embodies the arrogant authority and self-indulgence found in the sacred lands of the Red Line.

It didn't take long one pieceThrough the Elbaf Arc, we reveal who the New Knights belong to, what their representative missions are, and what their combat power is. already, one piece Fans have a clear idea of ​​how this team operates and what everyone can expect from them. It mixes familiar elements like Devil Fruits and High Authority with new tactics that rival even the mightiest Haki on the battlefield.

All new knights have contracts of the abyss and the abyss.

This allows you to teleport or summon reinforcements.

Gunko one piece stronger than Zoro and Sanji

For a while, one piece We have been developing a parallel combat or “magic” system that can exist alongside Devil Fruits. Even devil fruits can't do everything, and many years after publication, one piece It was meant to expand the supernatural aspects of the world with new abilities. The New Knights were the perfect group to showcase new abilities such as the Four Covenants. The Shallows type binds its bearer solely to the will of Imu, while the Depths and Abyssal Covenants provide incredible abilities.

One Piece Usopp's Fallen Oda Elbaf

After Elbaf, it's time to admit that Oda ruined Usopp forever.

Usopp is ruined forever. Elbaf has proven to be overpowering against the Straw Hat Pirates in One Piece.

All full-fledged members of the God Knights have a Depths Covenant along with an Abyssal Covenant in most cases. This sign allows God Knights like Shamrock, Gunko, and Sommers to teleport anywhere in the world, bypassing the need for fast-moving ships. This suggests great urgency on the part of the God Knights, as both can and must appear immediately wherever Imu is needed for the mission. Moreover, this covenant grants the God Knight immortality, allowing him to outlast almost any enemy on the battlefield. Only a few combatants, such as Scopper Gaban or Roronoa Zoro, are able to bypass its immortality with attacks.

New knights usually have powerful devil fruits.

Arrows, spikes, and MMA have defined the God Knights' fighting style so far.

This is one of the most predictable yet most interesting parts of the God Knights group. For decades, there has always been an assumption that when a powerful new group emerges, at least a few members will have impressive Devil Fruits, and perhaps Haki might back this up. Shin Knight is like this, wielding a devil fruit that has never been seen before. Notably, the fruit's powers aren't as flashy as Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit or Kaido's Mythical Joan Fruit, but this Devil Fruit still gets the job done.

For example, Gunko terrorized the Straw Hat Pirates with the Arrowhead Fruit. This allows you to force people to move in the direction the arrow points, which is an effective way to turn your team's combat power against you. Gunko can also form a bird with his arrows and easily fly around Elbaph. Next comes the St. Petersburg tree, useful in hostage situations where the bramble berries can deter the enemies of the God Knights due to their sharp, invisible thorns. Sommers is there. St. Killingham is a man who can turn people's nightmares into reality with the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, shaping an MMA that can stop even the biggest fighters.

The New Knights’ exemplary teamwork

Even when groups like the Baroque Works or Big Mom Pirates outnumber the heroes, their crews often don't take advantage of that special advantage. Instead, to keep things simple: one piece Divide team battles into a series of duels. For example, fans will remember Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy fighting the top three agents of Baroque Works in the Alabasta Saga. And even in the chaos of the Onigashima raid, combat was often a matter of duels. The Beast Pirates' teamwork was somewhat limited.

The same is true for the New Knights, who make teamwork the core of their fighting style. Although their Devil Fruit abilities and personalities vary greatly, these warriors are quite adept at fighting together. For example, Gunko and Sommers blend fruit powers to create a tough hostage situation in the Elbaph Arc, and Killingham's MMA keeps everyone away. The God Knights will also rotate members to suit mission requirements, such as Sommers and Killingham replacing Shamrock on Elbaph.

The New Knights allow Imu to possess them at any time.

Imu appears to those who have the right covenant.

All members of the New Knights have unwavering loyalty to Imu, and that loyalty extends to Soyou as well. Most New Knights are content to obey Imu's commands and exercise the authority of that being, but circumstances call for more. like one piece As readers have already seen, we know that Imu, like Gunko, can directly commandeer the God Knight's body to fight his enemies directly. In a flashback sequence in God Valley, Imu did something similar to Jaygarcia Saturn.

Description of Loki's family tree in One Piece

Loki's family tree is one of the most interesting things in One Piece. Let's take a closer look.

This suggests that God Knights and Five Elders are fair game for Imu to own, as they both have advanced covenants. And such a fighter certainly has power and authority to Imu's tastes, and it is highly unlikely that Imu would bother to possess an admiral or vice-admiral. Possessed Elders and New Knights will put their power to one side in favor of people like Domi Reversi.

The New Knights use world nobles as police officers.

Only a person like a divine knight can judge a heavenly dragon.

Because this aspect of God Knights is not often seen on screen. one piece's current storyline favors action and flashbacks to Marie Joie's isolated political environment. Nonetheless, learning how the God Knights operate in their homeland is very informative and speaks volumes about their high authority. until now, one piece Fans have been led to believe that the world's nobility are an untouchable elite who can do whatever they want, but this is not true. The Admiral cannot issue orders or make judgments around the Celestial Dragon, but the Divine Knight can.

The God Knights watch over the world's elite from the Holy Land, a mission no other group can perform. The New Templars may punish or even execute world nobles for serious dissatisfaction, such as when nobles act to protect the common people. In particular, the person who can judge the Heavenly Dragon is the commander-in-chief of the New Knights, like Pigaland Garling himself.

The command structure of the New Knights is simple.

There are many more ranks in the Navy

The Navy boasts the largest and most complex command structure in the world. one pieceFrom junior Marines to enlisted officers, lieutenant generals and admirals. Even the Five Elders are part of the naval command structure. And then there are the God Knights, a much smaller group that doesn't need as many ranks or multiple admirals.

This is the simplest and most practical aspect of the New Knights, and reflects how small and cohesive this group is. The New Knights seem to have only 8 members, so even if the Navy's rank system were adopted, it would not be possible to fill all ranks. Instead, the God Knights have a Supreme Commander, filled by Figarland Garling, and a Commander rank held by Shamrock just below him. The other members are full-fledged knights who simply obey the will of their commander and Imu. There are a small number of partial members known as the Devoted Blades of God, who serve as basic warriors who may be welcomed into the main group if they prove themselves worthy.
