One Piece may have already hinted at the identity of Garling’s successor as the Supreme Commander of the Holy Knights.
Despite the rarity of deaths in One Piece, the Egghead Arc delivers some significant ones. From Cobra’s untimely demise to Vegapunk’s tragic passing, unexpected events unfold in this arc. However, perhaps the most shocking moment comes in Chapter 1125, when one of the Gorosei meets their end.
As Saturn passes away, Saint Figarland Garling assumes his role in the Gorosei as the newly appointed Warrior God of Science and Defense. While his addition is highly anticipated, his advancement leaves the position of Supreme Commander of the Holy Knights open for filling.
This indicates that another individual will assume the role moving forward. As the leader of the Celestial Dragons’ judicial system, they are sure to hold significant power and influence and may play a more prominent part in the story going forward.
Despite not knowing the identity of the upcoming Supreme Commander, One Piece fans speculate that they have already been introduced to this character in some form. In Chapter 1121, the major players of the Final Saga are revealed, and it is believed that they will have important roles in the future.
Among the ranks of Luffy, Shanks, and Blackbeard, there is also Garling and the shadowy figure of an unfamiliar character. Speculation among fans suggests that this enigmatic individual may assume the role of the next leader of the Holy Knights.
One user on X speculated, “Since Garling has now become a Gorosei, there must be an available position for the leader of the Holy Knights. Could this mysterious figure in the silhouette be the new head of the Holy Knights? I am curious to see how they will bring about change in their leadership.”
“Another user, posted, speculating that Garling is now a Gorosei and predicting that the silhouette seen in Chapter 1121 will become the new commander of the Holy Knights.”
“According to one person, Garling has become a Gorosei and the mysterious figure who is believed to be a Figarland is expected to lead the Holy Knights. The third person also mentioned that Shanks’ abilities are rapidly increasing.”
Based on the shape of the silhouette, it is evident that they are a swordsman. Furthermore, the design of the sword’s hilt bears a striking resemblance to Shanks’ Gryphon, leading to speculation about a possible connection between the two.
Interestingly, it has been theorized that Garling has a close connection with Shanks as well. This is due to the fact that both Garling and Shanks’ adoptive daughter Uta belong to the Figarland family. Additionally, they both share the skill of swordsmanship.
Despite not providing concrete evidence, this does suggest a connection between the theories. If Garling, Shanks, and the unknown individual are indeed connected, it would be logical for the latter to assume Garling’s position as the new Supreme Commander of the Holy Knights. However, until confirmation from One Piece, this remains speculation.
