The Holy Knights are one of One Piece’s strongest villain groups that Oda has introduced in the Final Saga. Mentioned first in the Egghead arc, Oda first revealed them in the Elbaf arc, where they stand as the main villains. Unlike other groups in One Piece, the power level of the Holy Knights is all over the place. Some Holy Knights aren’t that strong, being one-shot by the likes of old Gaban, while others are Yonko-level, or even beyond that. There are more Holy Knights that have yet appear, but for now, these are the strongest of them.
8 Satchels Maffey
Satchels Maffey is one of the most recent Holy Knights to make their debut in One Piece. Maffey was first revealed during God Valley, and since then, her whereabouts or status are unknown.
Satchels Maffey is a giant woman with serrated teeth. Her entire arsenal of abilities isn't known, but fans have seen her wield immortality and easily brush off an attack from Whitebeard. Maffey can also fire a laser beam from her mouth.
7 Shepherd Sommers
Shepherd Sommers has been a part of the Holy Knights for a while. He was seen in God Valley, and he is involved in the current One Piece story on Elbaf. Sommers calls himself the dagger of the Holy Land.
Saint Sommers is strong, but definitely far from the most impressive Holy Knight. He was defeated by Rayleigh on God Valley, and then by an old Gaban on Elbaf. Sommers possesses immortality, as well as a good Paramecia Devil fruit that lets him manipulate thorns, called Iba Iba no Mi.
6 Rimoshifu Killingham
It’s unknown how long Rimoshifu Killingham has been with the Holy Knights. During the God Valley flashback, he was not present. However, he stands as one of the most powerful Holy Knights on Elbaf.
Killingham has yet to go all out, but it is clear that he already has immortality. On top of that, he has an overpowered legendary Devil fruit, called Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin, that grants him the power of this legendary creature, and allows him to turn dreams and nightmares into reality.
5 Manmayer Gunko
Out of the Holy Knights currently present on Elbaf, Manmayer Gunko is the most impressive one. Gunko first arrived with Shamrock on Elbaf, and as such, it can be assumed she could be his right hand.
Gunko is very special, even among the Holy Knights. Her real name is Princess Shuri, and she is often by Imu’s side. Imu chose her as one of their vessels. Gunko has been a Holy Knight for over 56 years, and throughout everything, she has shown to possess immortality and a very versatile Devil Fruit, Aro Aro no Mi.
4 Shanks (Formerly)
To the surprise of many fans, the current Yonko, Red Haired Shanks, was actually a member of the Holy Knights when he was younger.
While Shanks joined them around 15 years ago, he was never loyal to them. Instead, Shanks used his position to gather information and help others. When he worked as a Holy Knight, Shanks was far weaker than right now. He did still have access to all Haki types.
3 Figarland Garling
Figarland Garling is going to be a major figure in One Piece’s Final Saga. Garling is one of the oldest and most experienced members of the Holy Knights, being deeply involved even back in God Valley. In the current timeline, Garling has been referred to as the Supreme Commander of the Holy Knights. This definitely shows he’s a step ahead of most other Knights.
Garling has since been promoted to Five Elder, so it’s unclear if he still belongs to the Holy Knights or not. He has yet to showcase his arsenal of abilities, but he's clearly very skilled.
2 Harald
Harald’s character has been quite a polarizing one in One Piece’s Elbaf flashback. Harald was Rocks’s friend, but didn’t go to save him in God Valley. Instead, he chose to continue siding with the World Government in the hopes of one day getting to unite Elbaf with the rest of the world.
14 years ago, Harald was made a Holy Knight and sent on various missions. Before getting immortality, he was already on Rocks’s level. By the time of his death, he was even stronger than as he received a Deep Sea Covenant from Imu. Harald also had extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki.
1 Figarland Shamrock
After a long tease, Figarland Shamrock was finally introduced on Elbaf. He arrived with Gunko, and immediately, fans could tell he was a force to be reckoned with. Shamrock is said to be as skilled as Shanks, and just as talented. He also wields a Cerberus sword. While he won’t go all out anytime soon, fans expect him to be the strongest current, still active, Holy Knight.
