The Elbaf bow from One piece is officially getting more intense as the major battles are now being set up. In One piece Chapter 1137, fans finally got their first look at the main antagonist of the arc, and it turned out to be none other than Shanks' twin brother, Shamrock Figarland.

This new character is incredibly exciting and is bound to be very powerful. Fans can't wait to see him go all out, and it's pretty clear that his important significance will absolutely be of the utmost importance. While not all of Shamrock's powers have been revealed yet, ODA has already implied his power level while also hinting at his potential powers. As the Elbaf Arc continues, fans will definitely see more of Shamrock Figarland and his abilities.

ODA officially reveals Shamrock Figarland – Garling's son and the leader of the Holy Knights

In the last few weeks, One piece Fans have heavily debated the idea of ​​Shanks Twin in Elbaf. When a mysterious hooded person appeared in Elbaf, it became clear that this person was none other than Shanks' brother. However, some fans are in denial for one reason or another. While some wanted Shanks to be the one who spoke to the Gorosei in one piece Chapter 907 to further their own headcanons, others wanted Shanks to be evil. It's safe to say that none of these ideas are true and have been officially debunked by ODA. Shank's brother's identity was finally confirmed by ODA in a piece in Chapter 1137, and his name was revealed to be Shamrock Figarland.

Contact Marijoa! I wanted a different result here, but it seems it can't be helped anymore. -Shamrock Figarland

The meaning behind the name is very interesting. Shamrock is a shamrock from a clover-like plant that also represents Ireland. The three leaves of clover probably point to the Figarland family itself, whose members are Figarland, the father, and probably one of the strongest Shamrock Figarland, the son and leader of the Holy Knights and Shanks, representing the Holy Spirit. The reason for choosing this name was incredibly interesting from ODA and fans are incredibly excited to see Shamrock's story continue from here, especially now that he has been confirmed as Elbaf's main antagonist.

In one piece Chapter 1137, ODA officially revealed Shamrock Figarland as the leader of the Holy Knights and the son of Garling Figarland. At the same time, ODA also gave him a purpose, that is, to officially bring Elbaf under the control of the World Government and use its strength to shape the world again.

It's not surprising that ODA revealed Shamrock here. After all, ODA had already teased his arrival in history long ago. During the jumpfest, Oda had this to say to fans:

As for the manga, we've finally arrived in Elbaf! It's a relaxed kingdom, but the serenity is about to be shattered by the arrival of a certain man! Meanwhile, there will be turmoil in other seas too! And finally, this one guy is going to destroy the world! Take a deep breath now because soon you may not be able to breathe! Please look forward to a year of One Piece in 2025! – Eiichiro Oda

Apparently ODA always planned for Shamrock to appear here, and now that he has, an exciting confrontation with Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates has been set up. Fans will definitely see Shamrock fight against Luffy and that's where fans will finally see all of his abilities revealed.

Shamrock's strength is probably Yonko level

Shamrock is portrayed as being on the same level as the Emperors

After Shamrock's introduction, fans undoubtedly began to wonder about his role in the Elbaf arc and, most importantly, how strong he will be. While Oda hasn't shown him going all out yet, the answer to the question is pretty clear.

Shamrock's portrayal as Elbaf's main villain itself confirms that he is on the same level as the Yonko, as his enemy is a Yonko. However, that's not all. His display of power was given to fans in other ways too.

In One piece Chapter 1137, fans saw Shamrock Figarland confirmed as the leader of the Holy Knights. His job there was to recruit Loki for the Holy Knights, whose bounty is 2.6 billion berries and whose power is enough to destroy the world. If Loki were to join the Holy Knights, he would still be under Shamrock Figarland's command, which in other words implies that Shamrock is stronger than Loki and around the same level as the Yonko.

ODA reiterated this fact in One piece Chapter 1137, in which Loki swore after Gunko's attack that the outcome of the battle would have been different if he were not chained. However, Shamrock told him clearly that even if he were free, there was nothing he could do about it against them. This is incredible confidence on Shamrock's part, despite knowing Loki's bounty and famous strength. As such, the takeaway here is that Shamrock Figarland is Yonko level.

A potential devil fruit and Haki?

Shamrock will have Legendary Conqueror's Haki

Shamrock is undoubtedly very powerful and fans know that he will be a very strong Haki user. Although ODA hasn't shown it, Shamrock should be a confirmed user of all three types of Haki, and fans should fully expect him to have advanced the Upper King Haki. Regardless of whether or not his Supreme King Haki is on the same level as Shanks', fans should expect Shamrock to be a monstrously powerful Haki user. After all, he is Shank's brother and Garling's son.

Shamrock could also have a devil fruit power. This should once again come as a surprise to a fan. Shamrock is a member of the World Government and usually they all have strong abilities. Additionally, Gunklo was recently shown to have the Arrow Fruits on the Arrow Arrow, and it's possible that Shamrock also has some powerful abilities. But if he doesn't, fans of Haki should fully expect him to only be matched by characters like Shanks and others in the same plane.

Now that it's confirmed that the Knights of the God are the main enemies of the Elbaf arc, And the Straw Hat's piracy becomes even more exciting.

A piece can be read via Viz Media. The series is officially available for fans to read for free on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date for the next chapter of One Piece, One Piece 1137, will be on January 26, 2025.
