The One Piece manga has just concluded the Egghead Incident as Luffy and his crew set off for their next destination, Elbaf Island.
However, this event in One Piece ends with Imu killing an Elder, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn. In order to maintain the balance of power among the world's highest authorities, Saint Figarland Garling was chosen to replace the deceased elder.
St. Figarland Garling becomes the new Five Elders.
Garling has some connections to the Yonko Shanks, one of the most dangerous pirates in the world. However, while the series has yet to clarify the relationship between the two characters, a popular theory among fans is that Garling will betray the World Government.
One Piece often reveals a traitor to add to the story, such as Viola, Kanjuro, and York. Garling is a Celestial Dragon and the Commander of the Holy Knights, and he is also the first of this force to be introduced.
The leader of the Holy Knights cannot be a weak person, but must be someone with real power and strength.
As the leader of the Holy Knights, Figarland Garling holds absolute power over the remaining members of this force. Garling can even make judgments on other Celestial Dragons. This shows that although he is also a Celestial Dragon, Garling's rank, position, and authority are much higher than the rest.
So this man's betrayal of the people he spent his life serving will surely be one of the most shocking twists in the story.
According to Sandman's translator: “Figarland Garling may be based on Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space. It is said that Gagarin said 'I don't see God here'. This could mean that Figarland Garling will betray Imu or another Elf in the future.”
A fan chimed in: “Galing = Galileo Galilei. Galileo was the first person to make detailed and scientific observations of the Moon using a telescope. Galileo also observed the stars of the Milky Way.”
