One Piece’s Elbaf arc has given fans a ton of exciting moments to look forward to, as huge battles are currently being built up in the country of the Giants.

One Piece: Oda Confirms Who Is Stronger Between The Holy Knights And Marine Admirals
The Holy Knights are insanely powerful. But are they stronger than the admirals in One Piece?
As such, Oda has been carefully setting up some exciting battles in this arc, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what awaits them as the story progresses. More than that, the fights that lie ahead are going to be absolutely sensational, especially since Oda might just have revealed some Yonko-level monsters in this arc already, which makes things all the more exciting.
Oda Shows The True Strength Of The Holy Knights
- The Holy Knights Have Overpowered Devil Fruits
- The Holy Knights Have The Power Of Regeneration
Ever since the introduction of the Holy Knights, fans wondered how strong they truly were. Oda was quite careful to not reveal too much about their strength in the early parts of Elbaf, but now that the big battles are finally being set up, fans are getting their fair share of action from this legendary group. It is safe to say at this point that the Holy Knights are extremely strong.
When it comes to the captain of the Holy Knights, Shamrock Figarland, fans know that there is absolutely no way that Oda is going to make them weaker than the legendary figures of the One Piece world. He's Shanks's older brother and a monster in his own right, so there is no denying the fact that he is Yonko Level. He even talked down to Loki and was fairly certain that he's stronger, which puts him on the level of the Yonko for sure.
Elbaf also gave fans a look at Gunko, Sommers, and Killingham. All there of these characters appear to be quite strong, although not as strong as their captain, Shamrock Figarland. Regardless, Shamrock himself stated that Gunko can defeat Loki, and her recent display was incredible as well. In One Piece chapter 1146, Gunko was up against half of a Yonko crew, led by Jinbe and including Usopp, Nami, and Brook. Despite being greatly outnumbered and being up against a 1.1 billion berry man, Gunko absolutely demolished them all in battle. To put it in perspective, Gunko was up against pirates with a cumulative bounty of 2.349 billion berries, and
he absolutely toyed with them without even needing to go all out. The claim that Gunko can beat Loki seems far more believable now.
Gunko’s Regeneration Powers Are Revealed
Above all, One Piece chapter 1146 showed the fans that Gunko also possesses regeneration. Given that all the Holy Knights are marked with the power of the Abyss, it is highly likely that the Holy Knights have been bestowed with the power of regeneration by Imu, which makes them even more dangerous. They cannot be defeated in battle by the vast majority of those they fight.

The Holy Knights Likely Have Varying Power Levels, With Yonko Level Fighters
It is unclear as to how strong each member of the Holy Knights will be, but the three members that fans have seen so far all seem to be monstrously powerful. Shamrock is most definitely Yonko level, while Gunko has a good shout to be Yonko level as well, especially based on her regeneration and recent display in One Piece. Sommers and Killingham need to show more of their powers, but so far, they look quite comfortable in dealing with the enemies.
It is possible that they will be above the Admirals as well. Fans simply need to sit back and wait, as Oda will most definitely show the readers what they're truly capable of. One thing is for sure and that is the fact that the Holy Knights are not weak by any means. It will take the best of the Straw Hat Pirates to defeat them and the likes of Luffy, Loki, Zoro, and Sanji will definitely need to be called into action.
One Piece chapter 1146 will be out very soon, later this week. As usual, One Piece is going to drop on the upcoming Sunday. In Japan, One Piece drops at 12AM JST on Monday. However, the vast majority of international readers will see the chapter available on April 20. The official release date of One Piece Chapter 1146 is April 20, 2025. Fans can read the chapter for free on Manga Plus.
