One of the most important revelations in One Piece Chapter 1170 comes from Scopper Gaban. He explains that the so-called immortals, like Harald and the God Knights, can be damaged by repeatedly attacking them with Conqueror’s Haki. While they regenerate, the pain accumulates, slowing their recovery until they are unable to fight.

Gaban reveals in One Piece Chapter 1170 that Roger’s crew learned this firsthand after repeatedly clashing with the God Knights, who attempted multiple times to abduct Shanks as a child. Turns out all the attempts by them ended with them getting humiliated as they were all failures. The God Knights had been getting defeated again and again.
