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.

See i liked that cuz i also thought of something like that. I was assuming since most of them are yokai, he would gain a yokai form of sorts. Okuri-inu is the only yokai wolf/dog i can think of but didnt really fit with his motif or tie in with anything other than him escorting york around.

(Okuri-inu is a yokai that helps guide and escort travelers)

[u/krokuts → u/Gods_Divine5541]

Sand worm wasn't really a yokai, there's precendence.

[u/Gods_Divine5541 → u/krokuts]

Well thats why i said most. A couple arent technically yokai. Sand worm one of them and one of them is a Chinese yokai which i forgot the offical name for.

[u/leolegendario → u/Gods_Divine5541]

The Houki.

[u/Gods_Divine5541 → u/leolegendario]

Yes thank you. Majority of them take inspiration from yokai but one is a random sand worm that idk the connection and one is a chinese houki. So i can see garling getting some inspiration from the moon, whether it be werewolf type form or wolf.
