In the latest chapter of One Piece 1087, Eiichiro Oda once again surprises fans with a revelation about Shanks’ father, Saint Figarlang Garling. It turns out that he isn’t as powerful as initially believed. After the introduction of the Holy Knight Captain, Saint Figarlang Garling, many fans had speculated that he would be a formidable character. As the leader of the special forces of the Holy Knight, he was believed to possess great strength. However, it seems that Shanks’ father falls short of the expectations.
In the flashback of God Valley’s events in One Piece 1087, it is revealed that Figarlang Garling is not stronger than other individuals of his age, such as Sengoku and Garp. This revelation sheds light on the history of the God Valley incident, which took place 38 years ago. This event is significant in the world of One Piece and catapulted Garp’s reputation as a Marine hero.
The God Valley incident involved the ambition of Pirate Rocks D Xebec to conquer the world. The reason for choosing God Valley as the target was because the ruler of that kingdom was a Tenryuubito, who happened to be the father of Shanks, Saint Figarlang Garling. Confronted by powerful pirates, Figarlang Garling was unable to do much. In an effort to protect his only son, Shanks, he hid him inside a treasure chest that was later discovered by Roger.
Upon learning about the events in God Valley, the World Government dispatched a force led by Garp to capture Xebec. At the same time, the Roger Pirates arrived at God Valley as well. Roger pursued Xebec to God Valley after discovering that the captain of the Rocks Pirates possessed a Poneglyph, a stone inscribed with ancient text. Recognizing the threat posed by the Rocks Pirates, Garp decided to accept Roger’s offer of cooperation. Garp successfully subdued the formidable rookies Kaido, Big Mom, and Whitebeard with his powerful fists and rushed to the scene of the battle between Roger and Xebec.
