In the Latest chapter of one piece, 1125, we see the now Defense Science Warrior God, Saint Figarland Garling casually stroll into the Room of Authority and establish himself as one of the world leaders. This happens right as Saint Saturn meets his doom after failing miserably[ according to IMU] after the Egghead incident.
The way Garling, established himself as one of the Elder Planets, after receiving direct orders from whom we assume is Imu, shows a level of confidence not from a man who was just trusted into a role he didn’t choose, but from someone who was waiting for an opportunity for a long time. This was a plan that was years in the making, and after Garling had climbed up the ranks of the God’s Knights, all that was left was for him to somehow become an Elder for his Grand plan to come to fruition.
As the title suggests, Garling will 100% betray Imu for his grand scheme which is to take over the World, as he intends to become the one and only ruler of the world, a position currently occupied by Imu. The assumption is that Garling knew about the shadow ruler of the world that sits on the empty throne for a while now and has been scheming to take that title for himself. How this will tie to the eventual downfall of the world government, and potentially the rise of the Figarland Family, only time will tell. What we know is that the Nerona Family and the Figarland Family have some kind of history tying the from all the way back in the void century, and that will come full circle to why Garling is intending to take the throne. I don’t think Garling will be a helping force for the straw hats going forward, since that double spread established that he will be an obstacle for the straw hats to overcome on their journey to claim the ONE PIECE. That is it for this short article, I will go full dive in how the Nerona and Figarland family are connected and how that will affect the endgame of the final saga of one piece. Thanks for reading.
