Questions & Mysteries Did Monkey D. Dragon downplay the Admirals and the Yonkos?

#1
If Dragon downplayed the admirals and yonkos by saying God Knights are the real threat and if Whitebeard was referring to Garling when he talked about his scar with Shanks then it's safe to say they're strong, right?

This means it won't be the Straw Hats against the Gorosei and God Knights except Luffy and Zoro. It will most likely going to be the Revolutionary and Cross Guild/OG warlords along with Blackbeard, Koby, admirals and the others of top calibre.



Also, this panel could mean that Dragon was present at God Valley incident and was Garb's pupil. That's the only explanation how he saw their true strength against Rocks and Roger Pirates. There was no mention of God Knights being on the surface after that.

Thoughts?

Holy Knights will actually attack Revos directly, unlike Admirals who were stuck in a brief confrontation against Revos in middle of city full of Celestial Dragons that have to be protected.

Garling will probably be a top tier and the rest will range from Vet to YC1 level. Garp and Navy were pretty confident Holy Knights+fodder marines can contain Rocks pirates, though who knows how strong are they after 38 years

Garling may very well be the leader of the holy knights ala the strongest one. Considering he is Shanks father and that he is an old dude hyped up I guess he could fall in the old legends ranks (old Wb, old Garp, old Ray and so on), it also depends on how he is portrayed in the God valley incident but most likely that will be his place. The problem are the other holy knights, we have seen a woman and some other silouhettes as holy knights. Starting from the woman, who get a clear picture unlike the other ones, it can also be supposed she is the 2nd strongest or at least among the strongest and we know Oda has very few strong female characters (BM, Hancock..) all this to say that starting from the 2nd holy knight and below they could very well be YC1 and below aka plausible future fights for all the SH crew. Even if I don't see a Garling vs Luffy or a reason to have in general a "holy knights vs SHs" fight yet, there are the revos who have more beef with them and likewise the SHs have way more beef with the admirals (they don't even know these knights exist probably).

The God knights have the same amount of feats as Dragon: 0. I aint putting them above people that make the Gorosei shit their pants or the most powerful Marine assets based on pure hear say

If it were Garling who gave Whitebeard his scar, I find it unlikely that it would have been done in a fair 1v1. Oda has historically gone out of his way to respect Whitebeard's power and say that Roger was his only equal (from the old era at least) so if it was Garling, I would think that he caught Whitebeard like Squard/Shiryu until proven otherwise. Not that I expect Garling to be significantly weaker, I just don't expect him to be honourable about it.

But Roger not being the one to give Whitebeard his scar would be disappointing for me.

Like others have said though, dragon has nothing to do with fighting the Yonko. He didn't even attempt to fight Blackbeard or make any moves against him, so I don't expect them to enter his radar.

Dragons fight is with the Celestial Dragons. The Gods Knights are also CDs, so that’s self-explanatory.
There’s simply no benefit in going after the Admirals or Yonko. They’re either doing paperwork or playing pirate games.

God night = Tobi roppo/ Vice admirals at the Best. They are strong celestial dragons that protect other celestial dragons. Dragon mean reason to take down celestial dragons so it will be the mean fight for Bello Carasso koala. If sabo already have fight with IMU and the five elder you will think Ivan dragon and him will struggle with God night 😂
