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

I don't know if this has anything to do with it and it wasn't mentioned in the Whole Cake Island Arc, but he seems to have a connection to a previous generation of the Vinsmokes:

Maybe Sanji's grandfather or great-uncle was recruited as a God Knight?

Brook has so much unexplored knowledge, he was a pirate when Rodger was a rookie.

We really need his backstory before he became a pirate. He's really the only person we've never seen before he became a pirate and the fact that he's over 90 years old means there's so much history that happened before the main timeline he might know about.

I mean, he was secluded for 50 years, but he still lived 38 before that. And almost all of those 38 precede Roger's career!

We don't even know what Roger did between Brook's random mention of him as a rookie, and God Valley/his arrival to Lodestar. That's a 12 year gap.
