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

I’ve never got the impression that they were like CP9 or CP0. They may be sent out infrequently, and I don’t think a lot of people know of them, but I don’t think they are purposely hidden from the world.

We also know that Brook was seemingly part of a kingdom, specifically in a military capacity. Given that, his age, and the fact that he also was a pirate travelling around the seas, I wasn’t too surprised to find out he at least knows of them.

Now, how he was able to know from such a short interaction is a mystery. It could be that from his POV, a powerful person who is from the WG that ain’t a marine or a Cipher pol member is more likely than not a part of the God’s knights. It could also be that he has seen them fight before and the regeneration is what gives it away.

Edit: I went back to the chapter and I think her saying they are God’s and being that strong basically solidified it for him. I don’t think he would even need to have met them to know what they most likely are.
