Elbaf arc off A bit is officially underway and finally the exploration part of the arc seems wrapped up. Elbaf enjoyed a pretty exciting start, but it was also pretty weird because it didn't have a direct villain from the start. Of course, Oda took things slowly, as usual, and now it seems the setup has finally started to pay off.

A bit has now officially introduced fans to the main villains of the Elbaf arc of history, revealing to fans a powerful Yonko-level character whose strength surpasses the vast majority of villains Oda has portrayed in the series thus far. As many fans would have already guessed, this character is none other than Shamrock Figarland, known to be a mighty fighter and a knight of the highest order throughout the world.

The final tale and the strong character reveal

  • The Figarland family has been central to the last saga

  • Shamrock Figarland is a powerful fighter and Elbaf's main villain

The final saga of a piece is absolutely massive and Oda himself has hyped this part of the story to be the most intense, and at the same time the most exciting part of the story. Oda has previously desperately wanted to draw the final saga, but the time it would have taken for the story to officially get there was a major concern for him.

When I was little, I thought to myself: Man, I would love to draw a manga with the most hyped final stage! I wonder if I'm up to it! Now we only have a small piece of Wano arc left, the preparations are almost done. Took me 25 years lol. That said, it's good if you start reading from this point, because from this point … it will be … (The) One Piece !! The mysteries of this world, I will draw them all! It will be super interesting! Fasten your seat belt! And stay with me a little longer! – Eiichiro Oda

Now, however, a piece has begun the final saga, with Elbaf as the second official arc in Safat. The last saga introduced fans to a lot of exciting powers, such as the demonic abilities of the Five Elder Stones. But the most exciting character has come through one family in particular – the Figarland family in Marijoa. The Figarland family is quite a mystery and their origins are unknown at this point in the story. What fans do know, however, is that this family is one of the strongest in the series, and right now, quite easily the strongest family in the entire world. The first confirmed member of the Figarland family was Garling, and soon after fans learned that Shanks was also a member of this family and Garling's own son.

Curiously, ODA also teased the presence of another Figarland in the story, though much about his identity was withheld. This chapter was confirmed to be Shank's twin brother, Shamrock Figarland, and was officially revealed to fans in A bit Chapter 1137.

As the story entered the Elbaf arc and continued to develop, it became increasingly clear that the Holy Knights would be the main antagonistic group here and that Shank's twin brother, Shamrock would be the character to oppose Luffy.

As for the manga, we've finally made it to Elbaf! It's a relaxed kingdom, but the peace is about to be shattered by the arrival of a certain man! Meanwhile, there will be commotion in other seas too! And finally, that one guy will start shaking up the world! Take a deep breath now, because soon you may not be able to come up for air! Look forward to a Suuuuuuper year in one piece in 2025! – Eiichiro Oda

Shamrock Figarland is the latest character to be Emperor level

Shamrock Figarland leads the Holy Knights

As confirmed in A bit Chapter 1137, The World Government is hell bent on taking Elbaf under their control. To this end, they sent two strong members of the Holy Knights to Elbaf, hoping to secure Loki's position within the knightly order. Had they succeeded in doing so, Elbaf would have automatically fallen into the hands of the government. This is simply because Loki is the prince of all giants, and his power is too great for anyone in Elbaf to contend with. This is the same plan that Big Mom wanted to use to take the Giants under her wing. A marriage pact between Lola and Loki would have given her access to the giant race and this would have made her the Pirate King. Unfortunately for her, this did not occur.

Shamrock Figarland, Shank's twin, has powerful abilities and power.

While the idea behind the operation is interesting in itself, what is also clear is that Shamrock is a phenomenally powerful individual. The fact that the government sent him to deal with Loki and Elbaf is a testament to the fact that he is a mighty powerful fighter. Additionally, he is the leader of the Holy Knights. Had Loki joined the Holy Knights, he would still be below Shamrock even with a 2.6 billion Berry Bounty, clearly elevating Shamrock to a 3 billion+ berry status individual. Most notably, Shamrock is the brother of Shanks, one of the Yonko, and the son of Garling Figarland, the man who established a name for himself in the God Valley, where monsters like Roger, Rocks, Garp and Whitebeard fought. Based on everything Oda has revealed about Shamrock so far, and the fact that he is the main antagonist for Elbaf, where he will inevitably continue to fight Luffy, it is clear that he is strong as an Emperor.

Shamrock will be a Haki user of all three types

One of the simplest predictions that will surely come true about Shamrock is that he will have access to all Haki types. Shamrock will be a capable user of Supreme King Haki, given that he is royalty and a member of the Figarland family. Shanks, his brother, is a Haki master, and Shamrock himself will be no less powerful. It also makes sense that Shamrock is a powerful Haki user for Luffy to learn from and grow during battles.

As already established by Oda, Luffy usually learns concepts during fights. Right now, what Luffy needs most of all is a boost to his Supreme King Haki. Obviously, Shamrock's Haki being incredibly powerful would help Luffy achieve that. While Oda hasn't shown what his skill set is, what is clear is that Shamrock is nothing short of an emperor in one piece and will prove to be a massively overmatched fighter.
