Perhaps the most surprising revelation concerns the enigmatic Holy Knights. Despite their fearsome reputation, these warriors harbor a critical limitation: none of them possess Conqueror's Haki. This rare ability, wielded only by the strongest individuals with the qualities of a king, has been notably absent from their arsenal.The spoilers suggest that the Holy Knights' strength doesn't come from innate power, but rather from a contract with Imusama that grants them immortality and regeneration. They're essentially enhanced fighters rather than naturally elite warriors, relying on external powers rather than their own indomitable will.
This connection to Shanks' backstory runs deep. The Holy Knights repeatedly attempted to capture or rescue Shanks, knowing he was the son of their leader, Figarland Garling. However, the Roger Pirates consistently defeated them, demonstrating just how vast the gap was between the Pirate King's crew and these supposedly elite fighters.
Defeating the Immortal
Scoper Gabon provides crucial information about combating regenerative opponents. The key lies in using Conqueror's Haki to slow down their healing factor significantly. With repeated attacks infused with this supreme Haki, even seemingly immortal beings can be killed. This revelation explains why rapid-fire techniques like Luffy's Gatling Gun, combined with Conqueror's Haki, would prove devastatingly effective.
This also clarifies why Summers showed such visible terror upon encountering Scoper Gabon—he'd been defeated by him multiple times before and understood exactly what that power could do.
Loki: The Strongest Giant
The chapter's most dramatic moments center on Loki, whose power level exceeds all expectations. When Harold—a warrior so formidable that even Shanks and Scoper Gabon couldn't stop him—massacred giants at Forest Castle, it was Loki who stepped forward to face him alone.
Fighting in his "zone form" (shown only in shadow for now), Loki delivered devastating damage before accomplishing what seemed impossible: he broke Harold's Conqueror's Haki and killed him. The fact that Harold was Loki's own father adds tragic weight to this victory.
This feat establishes Loki as the most powerful giant in One Piece history, surpassing even the strength of emperors like Shanks. The ability to shatter another warrior's Conqueror's Haki represents a level of dominance rarely seen in the series.
Questions About Power and Lineage
The spoilers raise intriguing questions about the source of true strength in the One Piece world. If Garling himself doesn't possess exceptional combat ability possibly delegating such matters to his subordinates then where do Shamrock's and Shanks' formidable powers originate? Could their mother be the source?
Some analysts theorize a three-tier system of contracts with Imusama: basic contracts for Holy Knights granting regeneration, and higher-level agreements for the Gorosei providing both regeneration and access to Imusama's own Conqueror's Haki. The fact that the Gorosei don't age and demonstrate Conqueror's Haki supports this theory, though it remains speculative.
What's Next
One Piece Chapter 1,170 releases January 4th, with chapter 1,171 following on January 11th. Editor comments suggest that 1,171 will conclude the flashback of Loki and Elbaf's tragic past, returning us to the present-day Straw Hat storyline. The pirates will emerge from this flashback with crucial knowledge about power structures and the true nature of the world's elite forces.
These revelations fundamentally alter our understanding of strength in One Piece. Natural talent and indomitable will represented by Conqueror's Haki trump borrowed power. The Holy Knights, for all their regeneration and immortality, lack the one thing that defines true kings: the strength of their own spirit.
As we head into the new year, One Piece continues to deliver the world-building and power-scaling revelations that have made it a legendary series. The stage is set for conflicts where the source of one's power matters as much as the power itself.
