After Xebec's execution there's a strange time-skip, showing Rayleigh & Gaban carrying Roger & Garp on their shoulders.
The same Roger & Garp that were right near Xebec's body when Garling arrived and executed him.
This proximity is highlighted even more because Rayleigh confirms that Xebec was killed.
This means that Rayleigh & Gaban arrived in the same spot and actually saw Xebec's dead body.
But isn't it strange? Garling & the Knights of God should've been there too.
This opens multiple possible scenarios of how things went down:
As of now, I think scenario 3 is the most likely, because I'm confident this part will be revealed before the end of Elbaf (either in a little flashback of Gaban or a little flashback of Sommers) and will show us how the Knights regenaration can be countered. It would also give us Gaban vs Sommers.

This opens multiple possible scenarios of how things went down:
- The Knights of God spared Roger & Garp and left, then Rayleigh & Gaban arrived, picked up their bodies and in that moment they saw Xebec's dead body.
- The Knights of God had just finished executing Xebec when Rayleigh & Gaban arrived, quickly picked up Roger & Garp and then fled, without giving the Knights of God the time to react.
- The Knights of God were about to kill Roger & Garp too, but Rayleigh & Gaban arrived just in time to stop them. After a quick skirmish, they managed to get an opening and ran away.
- The Knights of God were about to kill Roger & Garp too, but Rayleigh & Gaban arrived just in time to stop them. They had a prolonged fight and in the end they managed to get Roger & Garp and finally left.
