Prepare to embark on a journey filled with intrigue, suspense, and unexpected twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Exploring the Unique Knights of God in One Piece

After years, I recently indulged in Yoshinoya’s beef bowl and was pleasantly surprised by its deliciousness. As a food enthusiast, I used to enjoy dining alone at places like Yoshinoya and conveyor belt sushi, showcasing my culinary prowess, even if it drew some curious glances. Regardless of the price or the setting, good food is simply good food!

Now, let’s shift our focus to this week’s One Piece chapter. The previous discussion highlighted the intense yet light-hearted exchange between Scopper Gaban, Luffy, and Zoro. However, the latter half of the chapter delves into the dark plans of the “Knights of God,” revealing the complexities of the Celestial Dragons.

Warning: The following content contains spoilers from the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, so readers who prefer the manga or anime should proceed with caution.

The Mystery of the Pentagram

In the Egghead arc, we were first introduced to the shocking warp abilities and summoning device associated with the pentagram used by Saturn. It appears that not only the Gorosei but also the military members of the “Knights of God” can utilize this ability, and they seem to use it quite frequently.

• It can warp from anywhere, allowing for unexpected arrivals.
• Objects, including weapons, can also be warped.
• Only those with a specific mark can pass through the pentagram.

This warp ability seems incredibly overpowered, suggesting that it may only be granted to a select few among the Celestial Dragons. The term “Abyss” raises further questions. Does it refer to a destination or something deeper?

Shepherd Somers: A Unique Knight

Shepherd Somers makes an appearance that contrasts sharply with the fearsome reputation of the “Knights of God.” His demeanor lacks tension, which raises questions about his true strength and cruelty. He is noted to be related to one of the Gorosei, Shepherd Ten Peter, although they bear little resemblance.

Kiringham: A Mysterious Figure

Another character that left me puzzled is Kiringham. The name suggests a connection to the Kirin, and it raises the question of whether non-human beings exist among the Celestial Dragons. Previously, I theorized that all Celestial Dragons are descendants of the twenty royal families that formed the World Government. However, recent developments suggest that commoners might ascend to the ranks of Celestial Dragons based on merit.

Harald’s Connection to the Knights

Somers casually mentions visiting Harald’s grave, hinting at a deeper connection between the Knights and the former king of Elbaf. This raises the possibility that the Knights’ ambitions to control the giant warriors of Elbaf may have roots dating back to Harald’s reign.

Implications of the Knights’ Games

Somers and Kiringham’s abilities remain unclear, but the mention of a “game” evokes memories of the brutal human hunts at God Valley. With the leader Shamrock returning to Mariejois, it seems unlikely that Luffy will confront him, but the future developments are bound to be ominous.
