The recently appointed Gorosei, Saint Figarland Garling, inOne Piece, has been confirmed to be one of the most significant villains within the narrative. His alleged connection to Shanks and his status as an Elder makes him an authoritative figure in the upcoming final war ofOne Piece, and he will probably have a big role to play against the Straw Hat Pirates.
He was first officially introduced at the beginning of the Egghead Island arc as the Supreme Commander of God Knights, and by the end of it, he replaced Saturn and became the newest member of the Five Elders. While his introduction is certainly intriguing, it has confused fans with one very important question.
This question is about who will battle Garling in the final war. Considering his status, Garling is a powerful character, and it would be ideal for him to face a strongOne Piececharacter. However, there is speculation that Garling would face Jinbe, the helmsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, but it looks like fans are strictly against thisOne Piecematchup.
Figarland Garling Might Face Jinbe in the Final War
Saint Figarland Garling has gained quite a reputation since his introduction inOne Piece.He has made his impact in the series not only through his title as the Supreme Commander of God Knights but also by executing one of the members of the World Nobles, Donquixote Msjord. This has indirectlymade a connection between Garling and Jinbe.

Msjord was the one who saved Shirahoshi during the Levely arc when another Noble, Charlos, tried to capture her. Msjord also hated Fish-Men in the past, but his feelings changed when he met Queen Otohime of Fish-Man Island. This created a connection between the two, and according to@3SkullJoeon X, this connection will lead to Jinbe fighting Garling.
By executing Msjord, Garling has destroyed any progress that the Fish-Men made for the peace treaty, which is also one of Jinbe’s main goals. Thus, in a way, the twoOne Piececharacters are linked, and there is a big possibility thatEiichiro Odamight exploit this link in the form of the finalOne Piecebattle by pitting the two against each other.
One PieceFans Won’t Be Happy About Garling vs. Jinbe
While Jinbe vs. Garling sounds like an intriguing duel, it doesn’t fit well with the power scaling ofOne Piece.As of now, Garling is one of the strongest characters inOne Piece, andwhile Jinbe is strong, he is not at the level of Garling, and he might not be able to reach that level because the series is already in its final phase.
Therefore, fans are not so happy about the scenario where one of the most hyped villains faces one of the latest Straw Hat members.

This is why, when the theory was shared on the social media platform, fans shared their disappointing opinions about the two characters facing each other.
Oda would be so washed up if he made this match up not even joking
UPS man against Garling 💀Jimbei doesn’t have the plot armour to survive this fighthttps://t.co/MFXYLfoMOB
They won’t like this one.
Lol garling wasn’t afraid from Roger and rox Pirates in God valley and you are talking about jinbe to be his opponent?
Their gap in power and importance is way to high for this to be one and him having a distaste for fisherman as the reason would not be good imo
Jinbe vs. Garling does not look like a great matchup and fans of the series know that Oda might not pit them against each other.Garling’s alleged connection with Shanksand his importance in the World Government storyline makes him far more important and the character that fits his power scaling is probably Monkey D. Dragon, the most wanted man inOne Piece.
