Powers & Abilities Dragon Had a point

#1
A lot of People will see this panel

And think dragon is sacred of regening fodder
That any top teir could low diff right?
until you realize just 3 of these gods knights are able to subjugate a whole nation that is widely agreed as the strongest on earth






KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE JUST THREE GODS KNIGHTS

Not even including shamrock who could be shanks level or more with his imu amps and his
Devil fruit sword

The full scale of 13 gods knights and then only having one acoc user and maybe sabo would be too much for anyone to handle it’s insane that dragon even is ready to fight them or preparing to fight them considering he has such a massive disadvantage.

We also know only Loki is confirmed to be able to bypass a holy knights regen something not even prime Roger,Garp or Rayleigh could do keep in mind there are 13 of these gods knights so yeah Dragon deserves his respect the God knights in retrospect really are no joke.

Yeah, people forget because of power creep and some pretty poor writing choices from Oda(The Knights of god being introduced as late as they were, a flashback where they lose quite often in the same arc) but the Knights are actually pretty powerful. They should be above the vast majority of RA commanders, and even the majority of the SH. Luffy himself would likely lose to most of them at the start of the timeskip, only really surpassing them with his powerups in the Yonko saga. They likely scale to commanders, with Imo, the ones we saw on this arc being on the stronger side. Most commanders are also losing pretty badly to Rocks or Roger.

And ofc you do have a few top tiers in the group. Shamrock is implied to be stronger then Shanks, and Harald was secretly working for them, for many years, which turned him into a sort of myth or legend among pirates, given the fact that he crushed so many crews.

They are a great force for any normal country for sure. Even by just being immortal, anyway.
And they do have some very good powers.

However, on Erbaf something pecualiar happened:

- first, Imu himself got there, DRing their main force;
- Erbaf's strongest warriors had been taken out prior to that (Harald died and Loki was chained);
- Gaban was actually about to fodderise them, but Colo went and gave them the golden opportunity to take him out.

Anyway, overall I agree.
Take them to basically any normal or even medium Country and said country falls.

Its pretty clear main problem with holy knights is their fighting skills they get outperformed easily and had to rely on their regeneration to stay relevant .

You could say this is intentional because they would be too OP otherwise and Oda wants to focus on their regeneration which would not be possible to show if they are able to clash equally with top tier opponents.

Also their Haki seems to be lacking.

Sommers is Able to low diff vice admiral level characters and we know his thorns are painful to even gear 5 Luffy. Add in immortality and that’s still a pretty Deep threat.
And btw Sommers is prob the weakest holy knight shown.

Killingham sleeptids seem weak until you realize they aren’t even full potential and are relying on the imagination of children.Killignham on his own is most likely a high teir-low top teir so around Zoro level.He prob still has other busted ability’s too

And Gunko arrows and attacks were strong enough to hurt even Loki. Her arrows and gauntlets are also stronger than steel.

These are just three btw not even the full force I think Dragon seemingly being able to take them on really is an insane feat.

It's definitely not their skill as fighters, but the fact that they are a mobile unit who can teleport at will provided a mark is present, have regen, and lack human decency that make them a dangerous group. Using even children in such manner is something no other group is willing to do

Their devil fruits seem pretty quirky and creative allowing them to work well in squads
Though it doesnt help when Oda portrays them as total clowns by having Sommers destroy everything they worked on since the beginning of the arc for a stupid gag
