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.

Really like this idea! Though I'd expand more on the relationship between a fresh vegapunk and Elder this chapter. Definitely believing the figardlands will gain importance moving forward and would rather believe Shanks has a twin than see his mentor role with luffy be tainted by some nefarious relationship to the WG. Whitebeard likely fought against figarland people that gave him the scar he mentions in chapter 434 too! Excited to learn more about this celestial family.

When it comes to the significance of vegapunk gaining a new form and imu replacing an elder, it makes me wonder if Imu is the beneficiary of some type of command authority over devil fruit abilities/immortality from the distant past. It would be somewhat similar to how VP gave Bonney authority over all the Seraphim and Pacifista, just with devil fruits themselves.

This chapter seems to hint at Imu's ability to grant power and take it away. if devil fruits were ancient kingdom era technology, I could totally see someone granting Imu power to command other devil fruit abilities just like Bonney. Imu seems to chose strong celestial dragons to serve as satellites, provided Garling receives similar devil abilities after it was stripped from Saturn.

Edit: if Imu has some command chain authority over devil fruits, that could explain why BB is considered a threat comparable to the Nika fruit. A devil fruit capable of canceling others could wreak havoc on imu and the elders.
