The Holy Knights are an immortal force introduced correctly in the final saga of One piece. In Elbaf of Arc, Oda established that this ruling force could only be defeated with advanced Conqueror's Haki. Now, One piece hinted at a unique way to defeat the Holy Knights without directly using the power of the Conqueror's Haki, relying on the use of Vegapunk's Omni-Drain Converters. This new power will allow most of the Straw Pirates to stand a chance against these monsters, and will certainly be used as the Elbaf Arc continues the series' final saga. The days of the Holy Knights are numbered and the Straw Pirates' offensive is just beginning.

One Piece has a lot of powerful female characters, but only a handful of them are Yonko level.
How Omni-Drain Converters Can Help Defeat The Knights of God
Elbaf Arch One piece explained to the fans the biggest weakness of the Holy Knights. When Scopper Gaban fought against King Harald, he made it clear that the full power of the Conqueror's Haki was needed to defeat the Holy Knights. Those who imbue their weapons with Conqueror's Haki will always be able to slow down their regeneration, and if hit enough can completely incapacitate them and prevent them from fully healing. This is the only way to defeat Holy Knights in One Piece so far.
Now that Vegapunk's Omni Drain Converters are introduced to the story, the possibilities are endless. Vegapunk's Omni Drain Converters can absorb any form of energy and then transform it into a consumable that greatly empowers the user. In other words, if Vegapunk continues to use the power of the Omni Drain Converters, the Conqueror's Haki itself can be turned into a consumable that can be consumed by others in the One Piece world, giving them a means to fight the likes of the Holy Knights.
How Vegapunk's importance will skyrocket in Final Saga
Vegapunk is extremely important in the final saga One pieceand that's one of the biggest reasons why he's currently tagging along with the Straw Hat Pirates. In One Piece Chapter 1176, Vegapunk showed the power of the Omni-Drain Converters, converting the natural energy of fire into cola for Franky. Once he consumed the coke, his overall power went to a whole new level. Likewise, there is no reason to believe that Vegapunk cannot use the power of the Omni-Drain Converters to convert the power of Haki, which is spiritual energy, and transfer it to other members of the Straw Hat Pirates in various ways.
If Franky were to consume cola powered by Conqueror's Haki, then perhaps his attacks could slow down the healing of the Holy Knights as well, allowing him to effectively fight against the Five Elders as well. All this will be made possible by the incredible scientific technology of Dr. Vegapunk, but fighting the immortals is about more than just harnessing the power of the Omni Converters.
How will the Straw Hats fight the Immortals without Supreme King Haki
Using the power of Omni Drain Converters, Straw Pirates may be able to gain a temporary boost, but this can also be achieved with Conqueror's Haki Knot. As shown in the Egghead arc, Joy Boy was able to tie a Conqueror's Haki knot, which Emeth then unleashed to save the Straw Hat Pirates. Logically, Luffy should be able to do the same for his pirate crew.
Use it when you are in danger. My Haki will help you. — Joy Boy to Emeth

Nami learned how to make a knot out of Wetheria and Luffy can store his Haki in them. These nodes can be worn by members of the Straw Hat Pirates, who can then use them with their various weapons to create unique attacks that can destroy members of The Holy Knights. At the end of the day, it's the only other way the Straw Hats can fight the Immortals, and they must stand up to them to free the world.

Why science is defining a new era
In the grand scheme of things, science will be incredibly important when it comes to defeating the Saint Knights of the One Piece world. All immortals are weak to Conqueror's Haki, but there are only a few Conqueror's Haki users in the One Piece world.
Node technology from Weatheria and the ability to use Omni-Drain converters, both of which fall into the category of science abilities, will be absolutely massive, giving the Straw Hats the means to defeat the Holy Knights and possibly an even more expanded character cast. Once the Final War begins, these abilities will be more important than ever, and fans are sure to see all members of the Straw Hat Pirates reach new levels with them.
One Piece Chapter 1177 will be available to read on Manga Plus on March 22, 2026.
