Can the Holy Knights Function as the Celestial Dragons’ Ultimate Fighting Force? | The Navy Is Not Relied Upon
The Navy Is Not Relied Upon
Assuming the Holy Knights exist to counter some specific threats, their disdain for the Navy, as seen in conversations during the God Valley incident, is telling.
Even though the Navy was present to protect the Celestial Dragons at God Valley, Saint Garling dismissed them as ineffective.
In fact, the Navy’s forces at God Valley failed to prevent the landings of both the Rocks Pirates and Roger Pirates.
Garling’s remark, “Have the Navy stand down,” implies they were seen as an obstacle rather than an aid. This suggests that the Holy Knights view themselves as superior combatants.
If the Revolutionary Army is considered the primary threat to the Celestial Dragons, then the Holy Knights may be positioned as their direct counterforce.
While the Navy functions as a policing entity bound by rules and constraints, the Holy Knights likely operate without such restrictions.
For example, the Navy cannot engage a Yonko without the World Government’s explicit approval. However, the Holy Knights likely have free rein to eliminate perceived threats.
Vegapunk’s message to the world seems to suggest that the Holy Knights have existed since the Void Century. They may have been established by the original Twenty Kings to counter the resurgence of those with the “D.”
