Gunko
Shamrock’s Trusted Aide
- User of the Aro Aro no Mi
- A trusted ally of Figarland Shamrock
Gunko made her debut alongside Figarland Shamrock, becoming the first representatives of the God’s Knights to venture into Elbaf. Their mission: to persuade Loki to join their ranks. Facing opposition from giants guarding Loki, their combat prowess was put to the test.
Utilizing her Aro Aro no Mi Devil Fruit, Gunko adeptly subdued the giants with minimal difficulty. This powerful ability grants her the capability to create vectorial arrows, which are versatile in both offense and mobility. Notably, these arrows can enhance the impact of her strikes, incapacitating opponents or binding them for strategic advantage.

Shepherd Sommers
Summoned for a Mission
- Exhibits ruthlessness in combat
- Possesses a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit
Shepherd Sommers accompanied Killingham to Elbaf, tasked with a critical mission. Unlike conventional battle tactics, the God’s Knights opted to approach their challenges with an element of playfulness. Sommers consumed the Iba Iba no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit enabling him to summon invisible, thorny vines that can ensnare anyone who comes into contact.
The thorns not only inflict severe pain, but according to Sommers, the agony correlates to the emotional bond between attacker and victim. This intriguing mechanic raises questions about the authenticity of his claims as fans eagerly await developments in the Elbaf arc.

Rimoshifu Killingham
Made His Debut in the Elbaf Arc
- Wields one of the strongest Zoan-type Devil Fruits
- Competent in Haki usage
Rimoshifu Killingham was summoned by Shamrock for the Elbaf mission. Known for his merciless nature, Killingham easily disregards life, believing himself superior to regular humans. He possesses the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit granting him transformation into a qilin. His mastery suggests he has awakened the full potential of his fruit.
Remarkably, this ability not only allows him to influence dreams but can also be weaponized for devastating effects—potentially toppling nations.

Figarland Shamrock
The Newly Appointed Commander of the God’s Knights
- His sword has a formidable Devil Fruit ability
- Demonstrates exceptional Haki powers
The introduction of Figarland Shamrock left fans in awe. Although previously mentioned, his direct affiliation with the Five Elders and his challenging lineage became apparent only later. As the son of Garling and Shanks’ elder twin brother, Shamrock’s disdain for Shanks adds depth to his character.
Shamrock excels in Haki, holding potential to match the legendary Yonko. Notably, he wields a sword capable of transforming into a Cerberus, dramatically enhancing its lethality in combat situations.

Figarland Garling
Supreme Commander of the God’s Knights
- Potentially possesses a remarkable Devil Fruit
- Master swordsman
Figarland Garling, the Commander of the God’s Knights, has likely held this position for years before transitioning to the Five Elders post Jaygarcia Saturn’s death. His expertise now encompasses responsibilities in both scientific and military strategy.
As the most powerful member of the God’s Knights revealed so far, Garling’s tremendous combat experience dates back to his involvement in significant historical events, including the God Valley Incident. His claims of formidable Haki abilities paired with the potential acquisition of a Devil Fruit either through Imu or notable victories in Hunting Competitions further solidify his dominance.
