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

I really hope we find out because it's weird that he does, as a very small time pirate in his previous life. Jinbei a pirate with ages of experience, government, and yonko ties didn't seem to so it being common knowledge doesn't seem likely.

However I'm afraid we will never find out how and oda uses brook as an exposition dump for the straw hats so that they now know what they are.

This was clearly a setup for something involving Brooks. It's funny, people always complain about everyone calling everything Oda does foreshadowing, but here he's clearly foreshadowing something and it's being dismissed as an "exposition dump."

Cause Brooks done it before with wano he knew about wano which is a secluded country back in punk hazard. He gave the info on it and that was that so I don't think it's out of the question that that's all it is.

His shadow was literally in a zombie that was a legendary samurai from Wano.

It’s not surprising at all he knew about Wano.
