The world of One Piece is full of mystery and intrigue, and one of the most enigmatic entities in the series is the Holy Knight. This organization, shrouded in secrecy, has not been directly involved in significant events, such as the capture of Gol D Roger or Rock D Xebec, leading fans to speculate on their true nature and motives.
Some believe that the Holy Knight did not exist during those times and chose not to interfere. Others think that they have their own agenda, which is not directly related to the events in question. One possibility is that they operate independently and have complex relationships with certain factions in the world of pirates.
It’s only recently that the Dragon has revealed the existence of Holy Knight to the Straw Hat Pirates. Vegapunk, a renowned scientist and creator of the Holy Knight, likely shared this secret with Dragon, who is a revolutionary seeking to overthrow the world government.
Vegapunk wanted to ensure that Holy Knight remained a secret for as long as possible and revealed it to Dragon, someone he deemed trustworthy enough to utilize its powers. Luffy, Carrot, and the others may not have been considered relevant or capable of handling such information at the time.
Interestingly, Holy Knight shares physical and even aura similarities with the legendary pirate Shanks, leading to speculation that it may have been created as a cloning experiment by Vegapunk.
The emergence of the Holy Knight and their formidable power has attracted the attention of the world government, which is considering the need for the Shichibukai system. The weak capabilities of Sherapim, one of the Shichibukai members, led to his dismissal from the group, giving reason enough for the government to be impressed by Holy Knight as a superior replacement.
The secrets surrounding Holy Knight continue to captivate One Piece fans, and only time will tell what kind of role they will play in shaping the world of pirates.
