Chapter Discussion Holy knights are collectively a yonko crew-level battalion

[Ven437]

Shamrock — the “Yonko” in charge, strongest of the group / parallel to Shanks

Killingham — the “army,” the most underrated, he generates giant monsters on par with tens of thousands of fleets

Sommers — the “dagger,” long-range invisible AoE (thorn traps)

Gunko — supporter in general, attacks from the skies, long-range AoE

There are probably 4-5 more HKs as well not including Garling. The three in Elbaf we’ve seen so far could conquer the country alone, add in the rest and Marejois have pretty much their own version of a Yonko or Warlord crew

[Ven437]

If they have 2-3 more top tiers in their ranks. Then they are the strongest force that Marejois has to offer and it justifies them coming in the story after Gorosei

 

[Djordje]

I think that's safe assumption

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

True that.

 

[Bad English]

Only Imu and his swordsman right hand man matters.

 

[Ven437]

I think that's safe assumption

Wouldn’t be surprised if they are much stronger than a Yonko crew either tbh

We need to stop thinking in the scope of two or three arcs ago. Oda is done playing games. If HKs are meant to be endgame threats then they are packing heat when they go all out with Imu buffs. More than anything Admirals or Gorosei have shown so far

Only Imu and his swordsman right hand man matters.

Imus left hand man is a gunman. Thats why Imunko used a sword and gun it’s bc these are the deadliest weapons in the entire verse. Top 1 is the Black Trident ofc

Katakuri knew what was fucking up

 

[Welkin]

They’d be far above any Yonko crew

Gunko soloed half of the Strawhats including Jinbei in a few minutes tops

If Shamrock is on par with the Yonko and there are 4-5 other Holy Knights that are relative to Sommers/Gunko/Kilingham they would wash any crew we’ve seen

Besides Rocks and Roger’s anyway

If Garling and Shamrock are present together with all other Holy Knights then I think it's clear they are above any yonko crew . Their devil fruits are indeed powerful and regeneration is still huge factor . Roger crew is special case with his 2 commanders being legit top tiers with acoc powers. Other yonko crews like Kaido , Big Mom don't have that luxury with top tier commanders so it's clear they would lose against Holy knights. Probably the only yonko crew capable of defeating them would be EOS straw hats .

 

[kekaro]

Given that Goonko soloed 4/10 of the strawhats i dont think you dont need even all holy knights for that tbh.

 

[FlyFlower]

The Holy Bums are strong because of their regeneration and immortality.

Look how Robin broke Sommers' back.

If Sommers didn't have regeneration, he would be dead or mortally wounded.

I think Shanks is stronger than Scamock and Garling the Slave Killer.

You bros have severe reading issues ngl

Yes

Regen merchant is disembodied victim classic trope

If Sommers didn’t have regen he would never have his back broken by Robin. He was toying with her

If Gunko didn’t have regen she would block Usopp’s attack easily

Sommers blocked ACoC attacks from someone with very high lethality. That feat alone eclipses most YC1s we seen

Shamrock should have the same level of CoC as Shanks twin, maybe slightly lower

 

[BlackLegFring]

Yes, and maybe even more so. They’re the counterparts to the Revolutionary Army after all.

 

[Robin swan]

All really depends on how strong shamrocks is. If he is really near shanks then yea the hk could be yonko level crew. If he's around as strong as other he's then they aren't and all just rely on regen but are yc level.

 

[Ven437]

I don’t think the Rev army as a whole are yonko-tier crew. I could be wrong on that based on the number of forces they could gather. And Dragon’s strength. I’m not convinced he’s stronger than Luffy even

Oda is a shounen man through and through. The father of the MC is always going to be monstrous.
If anything, I suspect that Oda will give even Sabo a bigger bounty than Luffy currently as the big brother.

So the Revolutionary Army will be above your average Yonko crew with 2 legitimate top tiers and a larger force than the typical 5,000 - 20,000.
It’s going to be the expected power creep.

True. Even One Piece isn't immune to powercreeps.

I doubt Sabo will have a bigger bounty since Luffy is literally Joyboy reincarnated but he'll definitely have a high bounty. Around 3B.
