...about the Figarland family. They each have a way of holding their sword.

We have Shanks, who tucks his sword in his sash, Japanese style. He probably got it from his dad Roger who wore his sword like this;

In the One Piece universe, it seems to be the most common way to hold your sword.

This gives him the image of a laid back and unassuming guy compared to the rest of his biological family.

Then we have the sperm donor : Figarland Garling. He has a peculiar way of carrying his sword. He literally holds it in his hand while walking and only puts it down when he sitting.

It's not practical. It paints him as someone always ready to use violence.

Finally, we get Shamrock who use a belt to hold his sword. This kind of belt is called a baldric [X]. Sommers also wears one, is it part of the Holy Knights' uniform for swordsman ? It doesn't seem so.

During the God Valley incident, none of the HK were wearing one, so it may be a recent development. It is surprisingly practical for a CD's outfit.

Did Shamrock look outside his window during his private lessons to watch other Celestial children, free to be as greedy and lazy as they want, play with all the toys Garling would never allow him to have?

Did he ever question what the purpose of being a God was if he never got to make his own choices in life or had Garling taught him to be proud of how different the life of a knight was?

- are we seeing same picture?-

Brothers!

Gambare, Garling!

I'm waiting to see what actions Garling will take. In any case he will selfish take everything into his own hands

Interestingly Saturn still justified the status of the God of War and Science cause he was engaged in scientific research. I think Garling will focus only on War
