All of the Gorosei possess Mythical Zoan abilities.

With Garling joining them, a question arises, will he also acquire a Mythical Zoan?

Garling could be the Fenrir, a monstrous wolf in Norse mythology

• Garling = Moon = Werewolf
• Fenrir has two sons: Hati and Sköll
• Fenrir, a monstrous wolf from Norse mythology, plays a pivotal role in Ragnarök, the "impending end times"

• Saturn has a moon (satellite) named "Fenrir"
• Garling's replacement of Saturn could symbolize him becoming "Fenrir"
• In the same chapter where Garling replaces Saturn, a new satellite replaces Vegapunk

Imu, possibly the Sea Devil, might have made a "Devil pact" with Garling so he joins the Gorosei

In exchange, Garling could gain:

• Immortality
• Knowledge of the Void Century
• The Mythical Zoan of Fenrir

Fenrir’s sons, Sköll and Hati, represent dual forces:

• Sköll chases the sun, paralleling Shanks, who pursues the Sun God Nika
• Hati chases the moon, potentially representing Shanks’ brother

Shanks, who chases the "Sun," could be analogous to Sköll

• Shanks pursued the "Sun" God Nika and revived the legacy of the Sun God (JoyBoy) by giving Luffy the fruit and the Straw Hat
• Shanks embodies the Sun's resurgence

Hati, the moon-chaser, might be Shanks' twin brother.

• He could be among the Holy Knights

• He could be the one who talked to the Gorosei

The Moon could be Garling

• Garling was the former Champion of God Valley
• Garling is now a Gorosei

His son (Hati) might strive to be like his father and seek his approval, hence "chasing" the Moon

Sköll and Hati embody the eternal struggle between the Celestial Dragons and the D.

Their pursuit of the sun and moon symbolizes the cosmic balance and the ongoing clash between these forces.

Garling might have left Shanks (Sköll) at God Valley, keeping only his other son (Hati)

Shanks' baby clothes feature sun and moon motifs, reinforcing the symbolism of Hati and Sköll

• Shanks was raised by the Roger Pirates and so chased the "Sun"
• His brother, raised by his father and the Celestial Dragons, chases the "Moon"

Their roles are shaped by their heritage

Garling also has an appearance as both a star from the front and a moon from the side, which could allude to his connection with Fenrir.

This duality could mirror the opposing roles of his two possible sons—Sköll, who chases the sun, and Hati, who chases the moon.

Ahh yeah that's what i think happened as well. Although it's equally possible that all of them had fruits, but since there's no proper worm yokai, the sandworm had to do.

We’ll see if Figarland receives Saturn’s or goes with a new one

[u/PM_ME_SOME_CAKES → u/kamilo87]

That is what I'm genuinely curious about. My bet is he will receive a new power, though.

[u/kamilo87 → u/PM_ME_SOME_CAKES]

Oda is very creative and is always pulling new ideas. I wouldn’t put my hands on fire for it. No one would ever predict Saturn’s demise (no one that I’m aware yet). But this Figarland situation strengthened his position as top level CD and his relationship with Akagami.

[u/PM_ME_SOME_CAKES → u/kamilo87]

My more pressing question is really "what does he stand for?" He seems like a strange wild card, all things considered.

[u/kamilo87 → u/PM_ME_SOME_CAKES]

For me he is a “junior” conservative ascended to a senior one. He is more of the same genocidal pos. Just another IMU’s puppet.

[u/PM_ME_SOME_CAKES → u/kamilo87]

That may be true, but there's plenty of those. Why him specifically? Was it because of rank? Was it because of lineage? In the case of 5 men who are centuries old, why appoint what is essentially a child? Furthermore, why the vested disregard for the remaining 4 elders? He wastes no effort in discarding the concept of Seniority. In just the scene of his ascension, there's a lot of personality that seems strikingly different to the attitudes of the Elders.

[u/kamilo87 → u/PM_ME_SOME_CAKES]

Nice catch! Could be that the 4 elders are in a soft position bc it was Saturn’s mission and they were assisting but Imu only punished Saturn and the other ones are walking on a thin thread.

[u/PM_ME_SOME_CAKES → u/kamilo87]

Huh, very true
