Chapter 1010 has just showed us Advanced Conquerors Haki thru Zoro and Luffy.
Spanning from Chapter 900-910, clues of Rocks were thrown in noted by Garp and Marco.
Chapter 951 laid out that Big Mom and Kaido were also part of that Rocks Crew.
Chapter 956 set up the prologue to the Epic event discarded into the mist of history.
Chapter 966/967 showed us CoC clashes betw Roger, Whitebeard, and Oden.
And we have come to know that the clash betw WB and Roger was Advanced CoC.
Chapter 1001 showed us Kaido and those he regards as the only ones capable of fighting him.
I believe the last pieces of the set up for this legend have just been placed on the board.
This came in the form of Luffy's explanation of Conquerors Haki and subsequent usage.
There is no doubt in my mind that the God Valley Event and Kaido's flashback is incoming. With SO many Conquerors in one place [Rocks, WB, Roger, Garp, Shiki?, BM, Kaido and their crews (Rayleigh?)] etc, its only right that Oda would have been waiting for this time. This can be juxtaposed to Wano where there are several Conquerors within this Onigashima Raid: [Kaido, Big Mom, Luffy, Kid, Zoro, King?, etc..]
Basically, my predictions are

- Kozuki Oden, Red-Haired Shanks, Edward Newgate, Gol D. Roger, and Rocks D. Xebec (All Conquerors)

Unconfirmed Speculation:
- A couple weeks/month back someone had said the span of Chapter 1012+ was supposedly a bunch of Act ending or world shaking chapters.
Basically, my predictions are
- Kaido Flashback 1012-1022 (within this range)
- Kaido and Beast Pirate Formation within the next Volume.
- Volume 99: Chapter 995-1003/4? [Indicating Luffy has arrived on Shanks board]
- Volume 100: Chapter 1004/5-1013/4? [Indicating Luffy is able to Clash with Emperors]
- Volume 101: Chapter 1014/5-1024/5? [Kaido FB?]
- Act 3 Ending? And/Or Post Reverie Continuity
