When it comes to the mysterious world of One Piece, the Holy Knights or Kesatria Suci, are one of the most enigmatic topics that fans have been eagerly discussing. Although little information has been given about them, Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, recently revealed that the holy knights possess Devil Fruits and that their powers are associated with the God Valley incident.
The Holy Knights first appeared in One Piece chapter 1054, and a glimpse of their silhouette was shown in chapter 1083 after Monkey D Dragon divulged some information about them. While they remain shrouded in secrecy, fans have been speculating on their level of power. According to Kurouma in chapter 1054, their power level is assumed to be higher than that of admirals and the Gorosei.
In chapter 1083, it was revealed that the Holy Knights were directly deployed by the World Government to destroy eight kingdoms that refused to pay taxes. It was also discovered that the climax of the Revolution Army’s fight took place once the holy knights had started to move, indicating the battle’s ferocity and the level of their power.
Moreover, there is a possibility that the strength of the Kesatria Suci comes from the Devil Fruits they possess, which they may have acquired from the God Valley incident. Reports suggest that some of the powerful Devil Fruits in the story, including the Uo Uo no Mi belonging to Kaido, originated from the God Valley. The Rocks Pirates or Sky Dragons might have stolen some of the Devil Fruits before the island’s destruction, and the latter likely distributed them to the Holy Knights.
Another mystery surrounding the Holy Knights is their members’ identities. Fans have been speculating that Shanks or possibly Shanks’ brother or relative might be a former member of the Holy Knights. Some also think that Dragon was once one of the Holy Knights. This theory is based on Dragon’s knowledge of the group, which is classified as highly secret. Dragon could only know about their immense power and that they possess Devil Fruits if he worked with them before.
Interestingly, a piece of shooting information revealed that the World Government purposely sought out various Devil Fruits for the Holy Knights, and the fruit they possess might have come from God Valley. Dragon was initially part of the group but left after realizing how corrupt the government was, and was a significant reason why he formed the Revolutionary Army.
In conclusion, the Holy Knights remain one of the biggest mysteries in the One Piece series. Although Eiichiro Oda has given some hints about the group’s power and potential members, fans are still left speculating about their true identities and the extent of their capabilities. All we can do is wait for Oda to reveal more about the enigmatic Holy Knights in future One Piece chapters.
