At the end of Chapter 1140, Figarland Shamrock left us with
a chilling statement:
“Let’s go play in Elbaf.”
At first glance, this might seem like a casual remark, but knowing the Holy
Knights, it’s far from innocent. In reality, this could mean that the Holy
Knights are preparing for battle in Elbaf—an indirect declaration of war.
The Meaning Behind Shamrock’s Words
The Holy Knights aren’t just ordinary enforcers; they are a special
unit of the World Government, acting with absolute authority when it comes
to crushing rebellion. Unlike the Marines, who require fleets to
suppress even a single island, the Holy Knights work in small numbers
but possess the power to dominate entire regions.
With Shamrock’s words at the end of Chapter 1140, it seems clear that Elbaf
is their next target.
Why Would the Holy Knights Attack
Elbaf?
There are a few key reasons why the World Government would want to
subjugate or destroy Elbaf:
- Elbaf is Not
Affiliated with the World Government
- Unlike other
powerful nations, Elbaf has never submitted to the World Government. This
makes them a potential threat, especially since they house the strongest
warriors in the world.
- The Arrival of
Luffy and the Straw Hats
- With Luffy
now in Elbaf, the island has essentially become a gathering ground
for enemies of the World Government. If left unchecked, Elbaf could
become a major stronghold in the final war.
- The Failure to
Recruit Prince Loki
- The Holy
Knights initially came to Elbaf to recruit Prince Loki, likely to
turn Elbaf into an ally of the World Government. However, Loki rejected
their offer.
- If Loki and
the entire nation refuse to submit, then the World Government may see
destruction as their only option—similar to what happened to Ohara
and Lulusia.
Are the Holy Knights Stronger Than the
Admirals?
If the Holy Knights are personally leading this mission, it means
the World Government is treating Elbaf as a serious threat.
We’ve already seen how much effort the Marines need to take down a single
pirate crew. The fact that only nine Holy Knights are sent to handle
Elbaf suggests that they possess incredible strength, possibly
surpassing even the Admirals.
This would make sense if the Holy Knights are directly below Imu-sama
in terms of authority, placing them above the Marines and Admirals in power.
The Implications of This War
If the Holy Knights are now moving against Elbaf, this could be a
turning point in the final saga of One Piece. We could see:
- A full-scale
war between Elbaf and the World Government
- Luffy and
Shanks joining forces to defend the island
- Reveals about
the true power of the Holy Knights
- A possible
confrontation between the Straw Hats and Figarland Shamrock
This could be one of the biggest battles in One Piece history,
rivaling even Marineford.
Final Thoughts: The War for Elbaf
Begins
Shamrock’s statement at the end of Chapter 1140 may seem casual, but it
likely foreshadows a major war between the Holy Knights and Elbaf. With
Luffy already there and Shanks possibly making his move, this could be the World
Government’s biggest mistake yet.
Will Elbaf fall, or will it become the battleground where the tides of
the final war begin to shift?
Let’s discuss!
