General & Others WG Hierarchy

[Blazing Lion]

Just to clarify or to confirm my understanding of the WG hierarchy it goes like this, right?
Imu
Gorosei
Holy Knights
CDs

Imu and Gorosei are given because Gorosei are the highest ones publicly known and only a leader of the HK was able to be promoted to this status. Holy Knights are the ones (or leader of them) who can judge and pass orders and punish CDs so they are above them. The question though is that would non CDs promoted HKs like offer to Loki would also be above the normal CDs?

 

[Moegara]

The implication last chapter was that along with making him a HK, this would make him "a god" as well, so they're likely granted CD status, like York.

I don't think it's common for an insect to be offered the honor, though.

Holyknights are weird case.

Holy Knights leader seems like Hereditary Rank. Only Figarlands have the authority to exercise such power of killing other CD's. I don't think so even Gorosei have that. (At least not yet confirmed).

Figarland seems like a special Clan , like other Gorosei.

So ,

Imu
Gorosei + Figarland
Celestial dragon's
Holyknights / CP0 / Supreme Commander
Fleet Admiral
Admirals.​

 

[GalaxyLevelShanks]

Reminder that admirals are even below the dirt the Celestial Dragons step on in the WG hierarchy. Gunko can make Deskainu lick her boots clean if she wanted to.

Assmirals are the shoe cleaners of the same people Shamrock can kill on a whim.

Shamrock >>> all admirals

I think you are mixing the two hierarchies
I dont think the FA or Admirals are below HKs or CP0. I just dont see Akainu taking orders from them. You may be right with the judgement thing and Figarlands being special, they are seeming pretty special atm. Imu is also from the Nerona clan so even clans among CDs have some hierarchy it seems.

 

[Shiroyru]

Imu
Gorosei
HK Supreme Commander
HKs
Commander-in-Chief
Fleet Admiral
Admirals
Vice Admirals / CP0
Rear Admirals

Because they are weak?
I know Stampede isn't canon but Lucci was or less Shouting at Akainu.
Also Marine is a subsidiary to WG.
CP0 falls directly under WG.
They might not have as much as authority as others, But HKs would totally order Admirals around if needs come.

Akainu would still turn him into his kitty

Loki would become a Holy Knight AND Celestial Dragon.

I think if Loki was promoted to a Holy Knight he'd be considered a Celestial Dragon, but his authority and power would be limited, and he'd probably be mostly used for military manners. I see the Holy Knights mostly being involved in military manners instead of politics.

I think Gorosei, and non CD WG employees handle a lot of the political related manners

 

[Salah WG]

Celestial Dragons represent 19 Royal Families (Not counting Nefertari)
Each Family is like a Kingdom of it's own

For example, if Riku & Nefertari & Neptune Family made an Alliance, Heads of Families would be Equal in Authority compared to each other, but They can give Orders to their own Family, Neptune can't give Orders to Riku or Rebecca, but He can give Orders to his Children for ex,

So each Family from Celestial Dragons should have a Leader, who's like a King, and his Children would be his Second in Command, or They could Succeed him, similar to Chinjao who was Succeeded by Sai who in turn also have Boo as his 2nd In Command

Since these Families are Equal in Power Overall, their only way to compete with each other is when organizing Games or a Hunt for something or an Objective, and so They need some Members to represent the whole Family, that's who Holy Knights are, They are like Champions of each Family (Head of Family can also be a Holy Knight if They want)

And since it's a Competition, then Best of them gets to be their Leader/Captain, making him not only represent his own Family, but entire Mary Geoise Kingdom, that's why it's Garling who handled Mjosgard's Execution for example,

For some reason, these Families decided to secretly bend the knee to Imu, and if not for him, Gorosei don't really need to exist, Heads of Families would simply be Supreme Leaders of the World, but it's implied that Imu's Power involves making Five Avatars, so He chooses Five of those Godheads to be above Rest (As seen when Garling was chosen)

So from what i understood so far, this is Hierarchy of Celestial Dragons:

1. Imu --- Supreme Authority
2. Five Elders --- Only Answer to Imu
3. Rest of Family Kings --- Only Answer to Gorosei + Imu
4. Rest of Family Princes --- Only Answer to their Own Parents & Gorosei + Imu
5. Leader of Holy Knights --- Only Answer to Family Kings & Gorosei + Imu
6. Rest of Holy Knights
7. Rest of Celestial Dragons

Then comes Non-CD Members such as Cipher-Pol, Marines & Jailers, each have their own Hierarchy,

So ,

Imu
Gorosei + Figarland
Celestial dragon's
Holyknights / CP0 / Supreme Commander
Fleet Admiral
Admirals.​

Gorosei > Figarlands. Garling before becoming gorosei have lower authority than them.

 

[comrade]

1. Imu --- Supreme Authority
2. Five Elders --- Only Answer to Imu
3. Rest of Family Kings --- Only Answer to Gorosei + Imu
4. Rest of Family Princes --- Only Answer to their Own Parents & Gorosei + Imu
5. Leader of Holy Knights --- Only Answer to Family Kings & Gorosei + Imu
6. Rest of Holy Knights
7. Rest of Celestial Dragons

The holy knights may as well be from the royal families. Especially the Figarland lineage seems to have a high standing, given Garling already before his promotion was the supreme commander of the holy knights and could execute celestial dragons and is now promoted to be one of the elders, which basically is the highest rank beneath Imu. So naturally, his son and leader of the holy knights should have a special rank. So the leader of the holy knights should be at least above the princes in that equation.

I agree, but that's why i specifically said that Leader of Holy Knights only answers to Family Kings, Princes don't have Higher Authority than him, nor does He command them either, so Technically They seem Equals

However, i put Princes above because i believe They only need to answer to their own Parents, it's like Fukaboshi only needing to deal with Neptune's Problems, but Leader of Holy Knights imo as Representative of All Holy Knights, He must obey all Godheads, that's the only advantage Princes have imo

It's like Fleet Admiral who needs to serve all WG Kingdoms, but Princes only serve their own Kingdoms, so technically They can say "No" more than Akainu
