Who Are the God's Knights in ONE PIECE? Every Member, Devil Fruit and Status (Through Chapter 1195)

The God's Knights are Imu's personal order inside Mary Geoise. Six members carry the story through chapter 1195 — three are on Elbaf now, one is back in the Holy Land, one is a Five Elder and one is dead — and two more appear only in flashbacks. Each member's Devil Fruit, weapon and current status — with what the manga has not named.

Quick answer

The God's Knights (神の騎士団) are Imu's personal order of World Nobles, based in Mary Geoise. Six members carry the story through chapter 1195; two more appear only in flashbacks (below the table).

Other names for them. The official English releases call the order the Holy Knights of God (VIZ) or the Knights of God (Crunchyroll). "God's Knights" is the name most fans search for.

Member Role Devil Fruit Where they stand (through 1195)
Figarland Shamrock Commander Not named for him; his sword Cerberus carries a Zoan power Back in Mary Geoise (1179)
Manmayer Gunko Knight Aro Aro no Mi On Elbaf; awake, facing Brook (1195)
Rimoshifu Killingham Knight Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin On Elbaf; fighting Sanji, undefeated (1195)
Shepherd Sommers Knight Iba Iba no Mi On Elbaf; hit by Zoro's strike, result not shown (1195)
Figarland Garling Former Supreme Commander None shown Now one of the Five Elders
Harald Former Knight, king of Elbaf None shown Dead (killed 14 years ago)

Evidence layers.

  • Chapter 1195 is PRIMARY — MANGA VERIFIED, read directly on Shonen Jump+.
  • Earlier chapters are CHAPTER-REFERENCED: a point is used only where at least two independent post-release reviews agree. Sources are at the foot of the page.
  • Leak-based reports are not used.

How the order works

(CHAPTER-REFERENCED.)

The ranks:

  • Supreme Commander — held by Garling until he became a Five Elder.
  • Commander — Shamrock.
  • Knights — the full members.
  • Devoted Blades of God (神の従刃) — the apprentice rank. Shanks was one, briefly, before he left. He was never a Knight.

The covenants with Imu. Imu binds members with contracts named after the depths of the sea:

  • 浅海契約 — the shallow tier, for Devoted Blades;
  • 深海契約 — the deep tier;
  • 深々海契約 — the deepest tier.

In chapter 1167 the Five Elders say only thirteen people can hold the two deeper contracts at once. Some of those places are the Elders' own, so the order can never be large.

What the covenant gives.

  • Regeneration from wounds that would kill anyone else.
  • Imu's control. Imu can override a member, or possess one outright. He did both with Harald, and he possessed Gunko from chapter 1149.

What breaks it. The arc has established that wounds from attacks carrying Conqueror's Haki don't regenerate properly. For Sommers specifically, Loki adds a finishing condition in chapter 1193: the steel heart, pierced by a blade coated with Conqueror's Haki. The full record is in how God's Knight immortality breaks.

Omen (魔気).

  • Chapter 1180: Imu heals and powers up Sommers and Killingham with ring-shaped black flames.
  • Chapter 1189: Imu restores the rusted weapons of the nineteen founding kings' families with Omen and hands them out.
  • Not shown receiving it: Gunko.

The full record is in what is Omen?

The members

Figarland Shamrock — Commander

  • Weapon: the sword Cerberus (ケルベロス). It becomes a three-headed dog with blades in its mouths. Fan sources widely take its power to be a Dog-Dog fruit, Model: Cerberus. The manga has not named the fruit, and whether Shamrock ate a fruit himself is not shown.
  • On Elbaf. He arrived through the Abyss with Gunko. He tried to recruit Loki, then set Cerberus on him while Loki was chained.
  • Recalled (1140). Killingham tells him the order has come from above: he is to return to Mary Geoise, where the situation is serious.
  • Status (1179): back in the Holy Land. Garling says that with Shamrock back, the situation should settle. He has not been shown back on Elbaf since.

Manmayer Gunko — Knight

  • Devil Fruit: Aro Aro no Mi (アロアロの実). Arrow-tipped ribbons from her sleeves and bandages, used as weapons, restraints and platforms.
  • Name. Volume 112 credits her as 「マンマイヤー家 軍子宮」 — Gunko of the Manmayer family.
  • Possessed and frozen.
    • 1149: Imu possesses her.
    • 1178: Loki freezes Imu-in-Gunko in ice.
    • 1187: Loki's hammer Ragnir starts melting the ice.
    • 1193: she begins to wake.
  • Status (1195, PRIMARY): awake, on Elbaf, facing Brook. He calls her Princess Shuri; she answers as Gunko of the World Noble Manmayer family. She is not fighting the Straw Hats when the chapter leaves her.
  • More: the full Shuri thread is in who is Gunko?

Rimoshifu Killingham — Knight

  • Devil Fruit: Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin (リュウリュウの実 モデル"麒麟") — a Mythical Zoan, named in chapter 1143.
    • Sleep and nightmares. He puts people to sleep and pulls their dreams into the waking world as monsters he calls MMA (ムーマ).
    • Awakening. We have not found two reviews that agree he has awakened it, so we don't claim it.
  • Weapon: the spear Longinus (聖命槍). It is the Rimoshifu family's weapon, one of those Imu restored with Omen.
  • Status (1195, PRIMARY): fighting Sanji, and winning.
    • Regeneration. He regenerates from every kick.
    • The taunt. He tells Sanji he doesn't have Conqueror's Haki.
    • The blow. He drives Longinus through him.
  • More: does Sanji have Conqueror's Haki?

Shepherd Sommers — Knight

  • Devil Fruit: Iba Iba no Mi (イバイバの実), named in chapter 1143. Thorn vines that can cover a battlefield.
  • Weapon: the sword Gram (グラム). It is the Shepherd family's weapon, restored by Imu, and it turns anger into power.
  • Damage taken.
    • Gaban: cut off his arm, and it did not grow back.
    • The steel heart: Loki says it has to be pierced with a Conqueror-coated blade.
  • Status (1195, PRIMARY):
    • Zoro says 「掴んだ…!!!」 — I've got it.
    • Sommers screams that his life is over.
    • A massive black-lightning strike lands, and the chapter cuts away.
    • His fate is not shown. Reports that he is "killed" come from pre-release leaks.
  • More: our 1195 report

Figarland Garling — former Supreme Commander, now a Five Elder

  • As a Knight:
    • He led the order at God Valley, 38 years ago.
    • Rocks overpowered him there. He killed Rocks afterwards, once Roger and Garp had brought Rocks down.
  • Now. He took a seat among the Five Elders after Saturn's death (chapter 1125). In chapter 1179 he argues with the other Elders about Imu leaving the Holy Land.
  • Devil Fruit: none shown.
  • Still a Knight? The manga hasn't said whether he still holds any Knight role.

Harald — former Knight, the late king of Elbaf

  • Joining the order. He served as a Devoted Blade and was later given a deep covenant by Imu, after Shanks vanished from the order.
  • Conqueror's Haki. He is the only Knight ever confirmed to have it.
  • Death, 14 years ago.
    • Imu took him over through the covenant.
    • Shanks and Gaban together could not finish him.
    • Loki ended it, at Harald's own request (chapters 1169–1170).
  • Devil Fruit: none shown.

Members seen only in flashbacks

These two are Knights in past scenes. Neither has been shown in the present, and the manga hasn't said what became of them.

  • Manmayer Grow (マンマイヤー・グロウ).
    • When he appears. He is a Knight in Brook's Esperia flashback, about 70 years ago. He is first shown, smoking, in chapter 1185 and named in 1186.
    • What he does there. He comes to take Shuri away.
    • Gunko. He has the same rare eyes as Gunko, and is strongly implied to be her birth father.
    • Devil Fruit: not shown.
    • Status now: unknown.
  • Satchels Maffey.
    • When she appears. She is a Knight at God Valley, 38 years ago. She is first shown in chapter 1160 and named in 1161.
    • What she does there. Garling sends her to bring back his twin sons. Whitebeard cuts her in half by accident, and her immortality puts her back together.
    • Devil Fruit: not shown.
    • Status now: unknown.

Names you may see that aren't members

  • Imu. The order's owner, not a member.
  • Shanks. A Devoted Blade who left. He was never knighted.

What the manga hasn't named

  • Shamrock's own fruit, and Cerberus' fruit. The name used for Cerberus is a fan presumption.
  • Garling's and Harald's fruits. Neither has been shown.
  • Whether Killingham's fruit is awakened.
  • Who holds the deepest contract. "The Five Elders, and maybe Gunko" is fan inference.
  • Whether Sommers survives chapter 1195.
