Discussion
So, the Holy Knights are one of the oldest orders of guards in the One Piece universe. They've been around for a long time, even dating back to the era of the Esperia Kingdom (where Brook originated).
Since then, their membership has been continually reorganized as members change. Often, those recruited are figures with "blue blood" backgrounds.
The majority come from the world creators/sky kings, but it is also possible that the throne holders of various kingdoms were recruited from the islands in the New World.
The Holy Knights work directly under the auspices of St. Nerona Imu. Along with Gorosei, the king of the world gave them the power of the Covenant and Abyss to carry out their duties.
This power can only be maintained simultaneously by 13 people. Since five of the Gorosei are already in the possession of the Holy Knights, the Holy Knights will always have a maximum of eight members.
This gives them unlimited authority across the globe. However, with members largely from elite backgrounds, they are not deployed at random.
Their main task is to act as mediators when world elites have disagreements: working as a law enforcement (judicial) institution among the heavenly kings.
Yes, among those who are most influential, of course there is a need for people who are not only equally influential, but also have power above the average of the other world elites.
But that's not all. They also exclusively handle various issues that concern Imu-sama—becoming extensions of his hands that cannot be easily disregarded.
God Valley Incident
One of the most influential roles of the Holy Knights in world history was the God Valley incident – coinciding with the Native Hunting Competition.
At this triennial event, they are entrusted as scouts and security guards – as the majority of the participants are celestial dragons and world leaders.
Led by Figarland Garling, the Holy Knights command various other instruments of world security—including the Marines. And this is where they truly take center stage.
Chaos ensued when a pirate alliance arrived to rescue the idol, Shakky, who was the event's grand prize. A riot ensued, and the event was canceled.
In fact, Garling and the Holy Knights can't do much here. But when the rage Xebec Those who were hit by Domi Reversi were successfully suppressed by Roger x Garp, that's where he took the moment.
He provided the finishing touch to the already helpless Xebec. From there, the nickname "Champion of God Valley" stuck to him and catapulted the Holy Knight's reputation.
The Latest Developments of the Holy Knights in the Elbaph Arc
Thirty-eight years have passed since that incident, and Garling is now in his twilight years. But that doesn't mean his influence in the World Government has waned. In fact, he's reached the peak of his career!
When St. Jaygarcia Saturn was deposed due to a blunder in Egghead, Imu-sama entrusted the vacant Gorosei position to him. This was also a "victory" for his order.
Therefore, the ongoing unrest in Elbaph also directly involves the Holy Knights. So far, those who have participated are Shamrock, Gunko, Sommers, and Killingham.
That leaves three more people whose identities remain undisclosed. Will all the Holy Knights be present in this ongoing arc? Let's just wait and see what happens next!
