While in Elbaf oda is finally showing off some of the god knights with their being a decent chance even more might get sent
With all the focus Imu’s subordinates have been getting that might very well mean that it’s about to be over for them soon
Aka Blackbeard might very well succeed in taking Imu’s position as king of the world while Imu is stretching his forces out too much. It might even be done through the help of dragon, Shanks, or Buggy even if not purposefully
Lowkey if Loki does end up joining a Kuzan with a gorosei boost could be the perfect match up. Despite only having 10 main subordinates I’m sure Blackbeard can find 3 more that would love to join him
Back to the god knights I think it might be possible they’re actually defeated in Elbaf including Garling. While he technically just got upgraded to 5 elder he was literally just a god knight before the end of egghead. He also might still be their supreme commander. Either way point is he might also come to elbaf along with Shamrock and the other missing knights. If Imu really does end up getting taken out making Garling and Shamrock get defeated as an arcs main antagonist would be really cool
Minus Garling who got promoted there are just 3 more knights we have yet to meet. Them showing up alongside them is a possibility imo. Especially after how disappointing Sanji seems to be in them. At this point he definitely needs a challenge to push him to unlock conquerors
Hopefully the current trio of knights also return to the action even after Imu leaves. Mainly because I’d love to see Usopp vs Killingham and Brook vs not Imu Gunko
Luffy vs Garling the leader of the knights
As for Shamrock I think Zoro would be the most fitting
Sanji is probably going to get some new character that has some sort of rivalry with Shamrock
