The immortality of the holy knights and the five elders
A bit Is currently in the Elbaf arch and the fans already know that Oda will dive deep into history's biggest secrets here. Given that this is the last story in history, it is no surprise to know that ODA is slowly revealing a great secret after the second by the world government here, and most recently touched on the Oda power of the abyss and the immorality that first arose in the Egghead arch A bit.

A Paragraph: ODA has already suggested Brook's secret connection to Gunko
Gunko shares a very interesting connection to Brook, and that is not what most fans of one piece have in mind.
Fans know for a fact that the holy knights are all immortal and at the same time that the elders have the same powers. Still, there is canonically a holy knight who is not immortal, and it is Saint Garling Figarland.

The elders showed immortality on Egghead
It was difficult to imagine that ODA introduced a force that even regular Haki can counteract in one piece, but he has done just that with the last story. In Egghead, the fans got their first taste of immortality in one piece, which Saint Saturn revealed how strong he really was. Dealing with damage to Saint Saturn was not a matter at all. What disturbed those who fight against him was the fact that he had the power of immortality and simply could not die, regeneration from everything thrown at him. Later, the other elderly also showed this force.
But there is no sense to fight, these guys are immortal! – Luffy to Giants
In the Elbaf arch, the fans were shocked to know that the elders were not the only ones in one piece with the power of immortality. As confirmed directly by Saul, all the holy knights also have immortality, which means it is not easy to win against them.
Being immortal simply means that you are no longer aging, and at the same time can regenerate infinitely from anything thrown at them. But this is where things become interesting, as there is a character among their rank that is not immortal yet.
Garling Figarland does not have immortality
Garling has proven to age normally
So far all holy knights and older have shown immortality in A bit. Fans also know through the elders that when someone reaches immortality, they stop getting old and their appearance remains the same. It is no surprise to know that Saturn lived over 200 years ago in A bit. It is also not a surprise that Brook could recognize Gunko in Elbaf, since he was once part of a nation's army, long before he was even a pirate. It is obvious that Brook saw Gunko a long time ago and recognizes her, probably because she has not even aged a bit.

A paragraph: ODA has already revealed the national tax in Marijoa
The national tax in Marijoa seems to be a mystery, but the answer is already clear.
Look closely, kids! – Garling to Shanks and Shamrock On God Valley
Still, fans have seen Garling Figarland, the man who served the holy knights as his highest commander and is now part of the five elders, and he does not have immortality. Garling Figarland was young during good Valley, and he is quite old right now.
Garling's true role in one piece
There are two reasons why Garling Figarland does not have immortality. The first is simply that he is so strong that he does not need it. Garling may also think that it makes them meet just leads to the senses being boring. Oda herself has teased him to have special power, which means he will be very important as the story advancing.
More importantly, it is possible that Garling can actually secretly strive to remove Imu himself. This is based on the idea that Garling can be based on Yuri Gagarin, who, when he went to space, pronounced words: “I see no God up here.”
It is quite possible that ODA sets Garling Figarland to try to go against IMU, which is why he refused the brand because it would make Garling IMU's personal slave.
