The Holy Knights are the main villains of the Elbaf arc, and they’ve proven to be immensee powerful so far. Although Shamrock left, fans know that the other three that are still on Elbaf are more than just weak fighters. Their abilities are complex and their skill is absolutely immense.
I can sense three of them still out there. If even Elbaf isn’t safe, then it truly is the end of times. — Scopper Gaban
Fans absolutely cannot wait for Oda to show more of them in battle, but their adversary, Gaban, is a legendary fighter who can pinpoint where they are with his Observation Haki. So far, Gaban is the only user of Observation Haki who has sensed the Holy Knights, not once but twice. This means his Observation Haki is better than anyone else on Elbaf, including Luffy, Shamrock, and even Sanji.
Even when the Holy Knights tried to suppress their Haki, Gaban was easily able to detect them and even tell their numbers. This came on top of the Holy Knights trying to lay low, not once but twice. Even Shamrock, a masterful Haki user, couldn’t hide himself from Gaban’s radar, and the other three failed as well. At this point, it goes without saying that Scopper Gaban is the best Observation Haki user in the world of One Piece by far.
