Maybe Oda want us to sleep on their strength because of their designs, just for them turn out to be strong
it will be a first honestly but am open to it
if there are truly 9 ish god knights
probably some variance in strength
I do wonder if they have a dynamic similar to a yonko --- division commanders where the leader is pretty darn strong , some noteworthy ones, and others mediocre as is always the case with large groups anyway.
shamrock getting summoned is him getting reserved for later at the very least . That at least tells me these lot are a step down.
