The world government is controlled by six major figures, Imu and the Gorosei, who title themselves as gods. However eventually they will be defeated and I think Wano heavily foreshadows the new gods that will defeat and replace the old.
These new gods are:
1. Sun God Nika
2 & 3. The Wisdom Kings
4. The Guardian Deity of Wano
5. The Sword God
6. The Lunarian God
One thing I want to touch on. While Zoro and Sanji weren't outright likened to gods in wano, wano opened the door for them to achieve godhood. Given how important these two characters are to the series, there is no doubt that they will attain godhood.
Zoro, the descendant of Ryuma, will obviously attain his godhood by becoming the Sword God. I think we will learn more about what it means to be the Sword God in the future, however this will be the ultimate realization of Zoro's dream, with Zoro not only surpassing Mihawk, but every swordsman in history.
Sanji, on the other hand, will likely attain his godhood via some sort of lunarian power up. This was foreshadowed in wano.
Sanji's power ups post skip have been tied to science. First you had the raid suit, which then gave way to the exoskeleton. While Sanji's strength is ultimately his own, with Ifrit Jambe being a technique of his own invention, science was ultimately the thing that made this possible. As we know, the seraphim are the pinnacle of science.
So imo the most natural course to take Sanji's powers going forward would be for him to become a lunarian. Either through unlocking something in his own genes, or by some sort of further experiment done to him. This will likely be done by vegapunk, however its possible Neo-MADS or Franky could play a role. A lunarian body would basically complete Sanji's skillset. Wings would make him a far better flier, the lunarian body is much more durable than the exoskeleton, and he would have more versatile flame abilities as we saw with King.
Anyways that's the theory. The new gods of one piece are:
"Sun God" Luffy
"Sword God" Zoro
"Lunarian" Sanji
"God of Wano" Yamato
"Wisdom Kings" Kid and Law
