One Piece 1084 Highlights - The God's Knight

In the previous chapter, we witness the Revolutionaries carrying out their three primary objectives, as Sabo clearly outlines at the beginning of the chapter. In addition to rescuing Kuma and other slaves whenever possible, their primary goal was to publicly declare war against the Celestial Dragons, which ultimately led to the Eight Nation Revolution, although only four of the nations were successful in achieving this. These nations ceased supplying their resources to Mary Geoise, and we discover that in addition to the celestial tribute, countries must also share their supplies and natural resources in bulk with the Celestial Dragons. As a result, the Revolutionaries destroy the pantries of Mary Geoise, causing the Celestial Dragons to experience what it's like to live without resources for the first time. This is sure to cause chaos in Celestial Dragon society, given their typical greediness. Essentially, this creates a resource siege, placing the Government in a challenging chokehold.

Dragon is convinced that the declaration of war against the Celestial Dragons will trigger a full-scale conflict, which will involve the Gods' Knights, or "Kami no Kishidan" in Japanese. This group is a relatively new addition to the One Piece world, and their exact nature is still unclear. They were mentioned briefly in Chapter 1054, where the Marines indicated that they would handle the assassination attempt on St. Charlos. Some fans initially speculated that they might be a more specialized unit within the knights who guard Mary Geoise, but Dragon's comments suggest that they may be a separate and even more dedicated military force, possibly surpassing even CP Aigis 0, the Celestial Dragons' infamous Shields. This emphasizes the immense challenge of attacking the Celestial Dragons, who can summon not only the Admirals but also rely on the protection of both CP0 and the Gods' Knights. While the silhouette of the Gods' Knights vaguely resembles that of Shanks, there is little information to go on at this point, and it is uncertain whether they will be a group of named characters or something more akin to the Orochi Oniwabanshu.
