General & Others What are you thoughts on the Holy Knights so far?

Never really had high expectations for them as it has always been obvious where they lie in Imu's hierarchy from a PL standpoint.

They are effectively Imu's Tobi Roppo so expected them to be in and around yonko commander level on average (i.e. a level above Kaido's Tobi Roppo) considering enemies get progressively stronger the deeper we get into the story so from a PL perspective they're pretty much as strong as I expected. Regular members can flex on the mid-trio and below but won't have enough to tango with the monster trio.

They only look so underwhelming because they've been set up as the big bads of Elbaf alongside Imu even though they clearly not equipped for that role.

Prior to the M3 joining the battle we had them wreaking havoc on Elbaf and the weaker SHs which was their level but not that the M3 and Loki have joined the battle they look out of depth which was kinda expected given their performances against competent combatants so far.

That said, as fun as it is to clown them the latest chapter, particularly Sanji’s disbelief on how underwhelming the knights of Marijoea are gives me the impression that there could be more than meets the eye to them. Of course I'm not talking a resurgence of the likes of Bummers and Bellingham but rather stronger members potentially and the only reason why I say that is coz of the ‘Supreme Commander title Garling has.

Don’t see the point of that title if he doesn’t have several divisions beneath him.

In which case there could potentially be several units with a captain each, Shamrock being one of them and these guys might be the real reason for the holy knights notoriety.

Harald was a Holy Knight capable of CoC coating which compensated for the weakness against CoC Users. Reckon Shamrock will be the same and would be dope if there are more characters like coz nothing short of that is gonna make the Holy Knights are more formidable force than they currently appear to be.
Not just Sanji. Killingham alluded to there being more to come this chapter. So did Dragon when he mentioned they were waiting on the Holy Knights to move.

I hope they have something up there sleeves.

Now what if Shanrock ends up getting the Garland treatment
He won’t. Oda wouldn’t have him be stronger than Shanks with CoC coating and give him a demon like Cerberus if he was going to be a Holy Number.

Shamrock was removed from Elbaf so that the SHs can get Ws against the jobbers

Oda already showed us earlier we can’t rely on the HKs words in regards to their own standings. When they become Knights their minds are poisoned into believing themselves to be truly divine beings.

So Killingham is literally just full of shit.

If you only care about powerscaling, yes, they are trash so far. But Sommers is a great character, much entertaining than other villains stronger than him. So im fine with the HKs.

What about Queen?
He was thrown around by Big Mom, Marco and Chopper, yet he's still pretty strong.
And how did all that end?
Big Mom in chains with Queen aura farming
Marco dealing no damage and Queen being shocked he’s alive
Chopper getting almost murdered

Notice how none of these involved Queen getting decapitated and called a fodder after getting one shot…

Yeah because he sneak attacked her lmao
Marco had to go up against both Queen and King, obviously he'd have lost. But he did still beat Queen's ass lol

Getting decapitated and taking a long time to regenerate? Hmmm wonder who else that's happened to..
:gosecon:

Again, I’m just pointing out that oda always made serious opponents come out on top of these exchanges. Killingham and Sommers always looked like jobbers. Oda made it clear he doesn’t want us to respect them at all.
