The Elbaph arc is heating up with the arrival of devastatingly powerful characters. Among them, Figarland Shamrock has fans buzzing due to his impressive profile.
In chapter 1137 of the One Piece manga, Figarland Shamrock officially appears as the leader of the Holy Knights. He is confirmed to be the eldest son of Figarland Garling and the twin brother of the Yonko Shanks, the “Red-Haired”.
With a status just below the Five Elders and Imu, what terrifying powers does Shamrock wield to confidently stride through the land of the giant warriors, Elbaph?
1. Cerberus Sword infused with Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit
Although it’s not confirmed whether Shamrock himself has a Devil Fruit power, he wields a unique weapon: a treasured sword that has consumed a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, Model: Cerberus, the three-headed hellhound.
This ability allows Shamrock’s sword to transform into a ferocious three-headed beast. Early in the Elbaph arc, Shamrock used this sword to overpower Loki. A single strike from the Cerberus entity inflicted a critical wound on the giant prince.
2. The “Covenants” Pact, Dark Power from King Imu
As the supreme leader of the Holy Knights, Shamrock enjoys the privilege of sharing power from the supreme being Imu through an energy pact known as Covenants.
This pact has levels ranging from shallow sea, depths, to abyssal. Given his rank, Shamrock has at least reached the depths sea level. This grants him superhuman physical strength, unlimited regeneration from wounds, and even immortality.
3. Supreme Haki Inherited from the Figarland Bloodline
As the twin brother of Shanks, known as the strongest Haki master currently, Shamrock is undoubtedly a Haki prodigy. Possessing all three types of Haki, especially advanced Conqueror’s Haki, is almost mandatory for a royal bloodline figure and Imu’s right hand like Shamrock.
Is Shamrock’s power on par with the Yonko?
Upon arriving in Elbaph to subdue Loki, who carries a massive 2.6 billion Belly bounty, Shamrock displayed terrifying confidence. After being seriously wounded, Loki swore that if he hadn’t been chained, the outcome would have been different. Shamrock coldly replied that the result would be the same even if Loki were free, asserting that the giant prince stood no chance against the Holy Knights.
Shamrock’s confidence is well-founded. Wielding the Cerberus sword, bearing the Figarland bloodline, mastering supreme Haki, and especially receiving the “immortality and unlimited regeneration” blessing from Imu, he is an unbreakable fortress. Although Oda has only revealed a glimpse so far, based on what we’ve seen, placing Figarland Shamrock among the top-tier fighters with power rivaling a Yonko is no exaggeration.
