One Piece shockingly introduces “God’s Knights”, a new group of villains stronger than anyone before them, including the powerful Marine Admirals.
Warning: SPOILERS for chapter #1083 of One Piece
A huge spoiler for the upcoming chapter #1083 of One Piece reveals that a new group of villains will soon make their debut, and these “God’s Knights” are the ultimate protectors of the Celestial Dragons, making them even more powerful than the fearsome Marine Admirals.
As happens every week, spoilers for the next One Piece chapter began circulating very early on Reddit. While Screen Rant prefers covering manga chapters and anime episodes only after their official release, sometimes the scoop is so big that our readers deserve to know about it as soon as possible. In chapter #1083 of One Piece, Luffy’s father Dragon, who is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, reveals that the real battle against the Celestial Dragons will begin only after they mobilize “God’s Knights”, a mysterious group that was never mentioned before in the series, and they are strong enough to worry Dragon even more than the Marine Admirals.
One Piece Shockingly Introduces Its New Strongest Villains, God’s Knights
In One Piece, the Celestial Dragons are the nobles who literally sit at the top of the world, living lives of absolute privilege in the Holy Land of Mary Geois. The most powerful Celestial Dragons are the Five Elders, who essentially rule the World Government. The military arm of the organization is the Navy, whose members enforce the World Government’s rule of law around the world. The Marines also have another duty: protecting the Celestial Dragons, who if threatened can call at any time on the strongest members of the Navy, the Admirals.
Fans always assumed that the Admirals represented the apex of strength within the World Government, but this belief has just been shattered. From the chapter’s spoilers, it appears that the Revolutionaries are gaining momentum in their relentless war against the World Government, but Dragon’s words hint that the Celestial Dragons still have to develop their best resource, God’s Knights. There is no clue at the moment about this group, but if Dragon mentions them, instead of the Admirals, it means that they have to be more dangerous than the strongest among the Marines.
God’s Knights Should Be Stronger Than The Admirals
It makes sense that the Celestial Dragons, who are immensely arrogant and paranoid, would not rely completely on an external organization such as the Navy for their own protection. After all, many Marines, including Admirals such as Aokiji or Luffy’s grandfather Garp, have shown a great degree of independence and a willingness to defy the World Government’s orders. Still, considering how powerful the Admirals have been portrayed as during the entire series, it’s shocking to learn that One Piece was still hiding its true most powerful villains.
