One Piecehas an expansive world that is built on the lives of an immense number of characters through the generations. Each of them has their own motives and aspirations, the story itself is about each one trying to achieve what they want.
Gold D. Roger is treated as a mythical figure and an idol even though he was publicly executed for this very reason since he managed to achieve his dream of finding the One Piece.
One such character who might have failed to achieve his wishes is Figarland Garling, who wished to be part of the Gorosei. The story could be connected to the Donquixote brothers and Corazon, leading up to Garling’s revenge against Trafalgar D. Water Law.
Garling lost his shot at immortality
According to the progression of the story, the Holy Knights serve as a recruitment or a proving ground for future Gorosei members; then it is likely they would offer the opportunity to join as its Supreme Commander.
Since all of the Gorosei are immortal, the Op-Op Fruit’s legendary immortality surgery might be the key to their status and power. This can be seen from the way they offered a total of5 billion berries for the Op-Op Fruit, the highest for any Devil Fruit in history. An avidOne Piecefan couldn’t help but speculate on Figarland’s animosity toward Law.
Since the fruit escaped the hands of Garling, given the fruit’s history and Law’s connection to Corazon, it is likely that Garling would want to see him dead.
Thirteen years ago, the World Government was willing to pay that massive amount for the fruit. While the given reason was to grant someone immortality surgery, it is possible that the intended recipient was none other than Figarland Garling.

As the leader of the Holy Knights, he is no doubt positioned asone of the strongest and most ruthless of the Celestial Dragons. If the Gorosei are truly immortal, then the process of becoming one might have been revealed already, the Op-Op Fruit.
Law’s role in the final war
Garling might have been elevated to the rank of an Elder Star back then, but because of Corazon’s actions, that opportunity was lost, and Garling remained a mortal Celestial Dragon.
Had the Donquixote brothers not intervened and had Corazon not stolen the fruit to make sure that Trafalgar Law ate it, the entire story ofOne Piecemight have been completely different.
IfGarling was meant to be the next generation of the Goroseiand Law is the one who took away his chance, not to mention his chance to live forever, that’s more than enough reason for him to hate Law and wish him dead.

Trafalgar D. Law is too important toOne Piece’soverarching story to be sidelined, even after his battle against Blackbeard. In the final war, we may see Garling seek out Law, not just for revenge, but to force him into performing the surgery. Possibly using some kind of leverage or a hostage.
One Pieceis available to watch on Netflix and Crunchyroll.
