Saint Garling Figarland is a newly introduced character in One Piece and continues to intrigue fans. Garling Figarland is a very strong Heavenly Dragon, recently promoted to one of the Five Elder Stars.
As a major character in One Piece's Final Saga, that means Garling has a big role to play in what's going to happen next. More interestingly, fans also know that Saint Garling is related to the character Shanks in one way or another.
Who is Saint Garling Figarland?
Saint Garling Figarland comes from one of the 20 founding families of the World Government. This means that one of Saint Garling's ancestors was directly involved in the creation of the World Government, since then, they have remained in the Holy Land of Marijoa.
Garling is the leader of the Holy Knights, very powerful individuals responsible for handling judicial matters and the main fighting force in the Holy Land of Marijoa.
We all know that most Celestial Dragons seem to be used to pleasure, playfulness, and weakness. But there are still some Heavenly Dragons who possess great power. For example, Imu and the Five Elder Stars. Or among the noble families of the World Government, the Figarland family is known to possess outstanding strength.
Oda reveals the power of Saint Garling Figarland
Oda recently answered 10 interesting questions about his manga. Some questions allude to future events, while others hype up certain characters. One of them, Oda was asked about how strong an individual Garling is.
Specifically, with question number 10, Oda was asked: “Saint Garling fought pirates during the God Valley Incident, but how strong was he really?”
One Piece author replied: “Oh, he's very strong. And there's a reason for that strength.
Not backing down, 'God's Knights' fought against legendary pirates! What is the secret behind them being part of the nobility and possessing power at the same time? Please pay close attention to the actions of Saint Garling, who has finally risen to the rank of Five Elders!”
As can be clearly seen, Oda refers to Garling Figarland as a very powerful character. Oda also raises more questions about how powerful Saint Garling, despite being nobles (who are usually weak), can be. There is a secret regarding his power that fans still don't know, and Oda has highlighted it once again.
What that secret is is unknown at this time, but Garling Figarland will be involved in an important storyline in One Piece later on, where Oda will surely reveal all the answers fans need. .
