If we presume that all of the Holy Knights have similar views to Garling, it would be a clash between those who look down on the "scum" of the world, and those who protect them.

I still think the Redhair Pirates will lose to the Blackbeards though, but I think it's interesting that a relative of Shanks leads an organization that's likely the polar opposite of the Red Hair Pirates

Garling needs to be really strong for that

Yeah, Blackbeard killing Shanks has become too predictable and Oda likes to be unpredictable. That said, Blackbeard needs some hype and Shanks is the perfect hypetool

Do you think Garling is really that strong? I find it hard to believe. Although Sandman recently tweeted that Garling should be translated as "champion/superhero" instead of "king"

I'm not sure he needs to be that strong to fight Shanks.

Oda loves Shanks, and usually portrays the good guys in a far better light compared to prejudiced villains like Garling.

Knowing Oda, I could see him having Shanks destroy Garling in a 1v1.

I have high hopes for Garling though, and hope it doesn't happen, but I think it's a possibility

Garling being the "champion of God Valley" is badass and truly hype.

But I'd like to know more about God Valley as a location. Do you have any thoughts/speculations on it?

I would like to know wth was the champion doing when Xebec invaded the island lol

The manga just says that God Valley "disappeared without a trace", perhaps WG nuked it, I will let you know if I come accross a good theory

Viz English official - Garling is ruler of GV.

It's ViZ french that said - Garling is champion

So, I don't know what's happening with translation - they are being subjective

Sandman also said Wargod is more accurate but in that thread people said we should go with official viz who is profesional translator

Garling don't need to be strong himself, some members of Holy knights can play that role. For eg there's a theory Shanks didn't meet Gorosie rather Shanks look alike did, he can be part of Holy Knights and definitely he'll be strong.

I can see RHPs fighting Holy Knights but then what purpose will Revolutionary play?

Well Garling will be strong.

"Bushin" being translated as Godhead is probably intentional because of the "finance/agriculture" context, I will go with Viz on that. In case of Garling, Sandman's translation doesnt sound weird like the wargod one, so I would pick his one here.

We don't know what happened at GV so Garling being ruler doesn't sound weird at all

If we are going with Sandman then we should do it in both cases instead of picking that translation which we think is best because that adds subjectivity

Thats not a bad strategy. You can choose ViZ with Sandman's correction. You cant go wrong in that way. At least, thats way better than trusting online nobodies.

For me, I trust both Stephen and Sandman, but the translation has to make sense. People make mistakes.

Viz French says war god
Sandman says Wargod
Viz English - Godhead


Viz French - champion
Sandman - champion
Viz Eng - Ruler

Japanese agree with sandman.

Yes mistakes can happen and I think Stephen made a mistake.

You are ignoring "of agriculture/finance". IMO Stephen got it right, he understood what Oda tried to convey here.
