The world of One Piece has introduced a new group of powerful characters known as the Holy Knights or Ksatria Suci. The emergence of these nine members has shown that the World Government has many agents to address various threats that can endanger their position as rulers throughout the seas.
In One Piece chapter 1083, the creator Eiichiro Oda introduces these Holy Knights in silhouette form, along with other powerful characters such as the Admirals of the Navy and the incredible Cipher Pol group. The speculation among fans is that Shanks, one of the Yonkou, is one of the members of this secret organization.
Mihawk is another character fans suspect to be a member of the Holy Knights. Both Shanks and Mihawk are known for their sword skills and ability to fight using Haki, making them strong candidates for membership. The appearance of several swords near an empty throne during Im Sama’s introduction also suggests that the Holy Knights may have formidable swordsmen among their ranks.
There is also a theory that Shanks has a twin brother, which adds to the speculation that he is part of the Holy Knights. However, as Eiichiro Oda is known for his plot twists, it is still uncertain whether Shanks is indeed part of the secret organization or not.
One possible hint is when Shanks met the Gorosei in Mariejoa without any of his pirate crew. This occurrence aligns with SWORD, another organization that turns its members into double agents. Shanks may have to be a pirate and a Holy Knight at the same time, but the reason for his allegiance to the World Government remains unclear.
In conclusion, the emergence of the Holy Knights in One Piece is an exciting development that adds more layers to the story. With the possibility of Shanks and Mihawk being part of the organization, fans can look forward to more plot twists and revelations from the creator Eiichiro Oda.
