The Holy Knights are one of One Piece's strongest villain groups that Oda has introduced in Final Saga. First mentioned in the Egghead arc, Oda first revealed them in the Elbaf arc, where they stand as the main villains. Unlike other groups i One Piecethe power level of the holy knights is all over the place. Some Holy Knights aren't that strong, being a shot of the likes of old Gaban, while others are Yonko level, or even beyond it. There are more Holy Knights yet to appear, but currently these are the strongest of them.

Satchels Maffey
Satchels Maffey is one of the latest Holy Knights to 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 full arsenal of abilities is not 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.

Shepherd Sommers
Shepherd Sommers has been part of the Holy Knights for a while. He was seen in God Valley, and he is involved in the current One Piece storyline 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 at God Valley, and then by an old Gaban at Elbaf. Sommers possesses immortality, as well as a good Paramecia Devil fruit that allows him to manipulate the thorns, called Iba Iba no Mi.

Rimoshifu Killingham
It is 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 expire, but it is clear that he already has immortality. In addition to that, he has an overpowered Legendary Devil Fruit, called Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin, which gives him the power of this legendary creature and allows him to turn dreams and nightmares into reality.
5
Manmayer Gunko
Of the Holy Knights currently present on Elbaf, Manmayer Gunko is the most impressive. Gunko first came with Shamrock on Elbaf, and as such it can be assumed that she may 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 through it all, she's proven to have immortality and a very versatile Devil Fruit, Aro Aro no Mi.

Shanks (formerly)
To the surprise of many fans, the current Yonko, Redhead shaftswas actually a member of the Holy Knights when he was younger.
While Shanks joined them about 15 years ago, he was never loyal to them. Instead, Shanks used his position to gather information and help others. When he was working as a Holy Knight, Shanks was much weaker than right now. He still had access to all Haki types.
3
Figarland Garling
Figarland Garling will be a major figure in One Piece's Final Saga. Garling is one of the oldest and most experienced members of the Holy Knights, and is deeply involved even back in the God Valley. In the current timeline, Garling has been referred to as the Supreme Commander of the Holy Knights. This definitely shows that he is a step ahead of most other knights.
Garling has since been promoted to Five Elder, so it is unclear whether or not he is still part of the Holy Knights. He has yet to show off his arsenal of abilities, but he is clearly very skilled.
2
Harald
Harald's character has been quite polarizing in One Piece's Elbaf flashback. Harald was Rock's friend, but did not go to save him in God Valley. Instead, he chose to continue to side with the World Government in the hope of one day uniting Elbaf with the rest of the world.
14 years ago, Harald was made a holy knight and sent on various missions. Before gaining immortality, he was already at Rock's level. At the time of his death, he was even stronger than when he received a Deep Sea Covenant from Imu. Harald also possessed an extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki.
1
Figarland Shamrock
After a long tease, Figarland Shamrock was finally introduced at Elbaf. He arrived with Gunko, and immediately fans could tell he was a force to be reckoned with. Shamrock is said to be just as skilled as Shanks, and just as talented. He also wields a Cerberus sword. While he won't be going all out anytime soon, fans expect him to be the strongest current, still active, Holy Knight.
