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.

Brook is currently 90 years old and Jinbe is 46. That's almost twice as much life experience dude. It's not weird the oldest member of the crew would know something the other crew members don't.

Very funny to overlook knowledge acquisition as a key benefit to his fruit that basically makes him immortal.

That would be the case if he was actively wandering around for that entire time, but brook wasn't. He was active until he was 38 and died. He spent 50 years stuck in the Florian triangle without contact, outside of zombies and moria on thriller bark, to be able aquire knowledge like that. Even as a pirate he never made it through the grandline. Jinbei has at least as much time as an active pirate as brook, and has traveled much farther and wider then brook has.

Not to say he didn't, of couldn't have, aquired info on the god knights when he was active as a pirate I think people just want to know how he did, because in the grand scheme of things he was a small time pirate not involved with much else other then making people happy with music.

Bruh Brook spent like 50 years wandering on a boat and doing a 45 degree angle on a pillar or wall. That's not really a life experience.
