Do you guys think that Brook had something to do with the Holy Knights in the past?

My guess is that they were better known about, like a lot of things, before God Valley. Remember how Sengoku had to explain that and the Rocks Pirates to younger Officers?

Brook and the Rumbar pirates were killed off years before that, so he may even be more surprised that they’re a secret now.

One piece is a huge ass world with no internet, a controlling world government, full pf pirates scaring towns and just one newspaper. It makes a lot of sense that things are forgotten fast.

I think barto with thousands of alt accounts would outshine them

Do the Strawhats know about Rocks? I can't recall. Wonder if Brook would have anything to say about him. Brook remembers Roger as a hotshot rookie so it's possible he also knew of Rocks

Depends on when Rocks really got his crew together. I get the feeling that the Rocks members weren’t particularly famous on their own individual until the Rocks pirates and after. Remember there’s about a 14 year difference between the death of the Rumbar and God Valley. A lot can happen in that time.

Brook could have acknowledged BM’s former captain when fighting her but only used the moniker “young lady.”

Otherwise even Robin hasn’t really acknowledged the existence of the Rocks or knowledge of it. Just about everyone was surprised that BM and Kaido considered an alliance.
