Questions & Mysteries Who are the Holy Knights?

This was my take on the Gorosei not long ago:
Because I've always expected the Celestial Dragons to not be just a collective bunch of spoiled cunts, but rather a human population with some talents (i.e Doflamingo) like every other population.
Now, I still think that Gorosei should be considered a threat, but seen their ages I expect them to be wiser and more invested in the political side, while Holy Knights are operatives.
Overall the Elders and the Knights should come from a similar background, if not the same. Elders might have been Knights in their youth...

The Holy knights could be Gargoyles a fantasy / horror Monster, which are Statues physically coming to life. I came to this Idea because people kept referring to this panel with said Statues.
Gargoyles are also often guardians of places such as cathedrals or castles
From the Silhouettes in Chapter 1083 we know, that at least one of them wields a Sword.
People on Twitter also kept bringing up the Cover of Chapter 699 they call it a foreshadowing by Oda to said Knights.
Interestingly enough, Luffy has a Sword while Sanji has a Spear/Lance like weapon, maybe it tells us that the 9 Knights are different type of Weapon specialists? Usopp holding a Bow could be a little stretch though, because i can't see anything that resembles a bow in the hands of the Statues above, but who knows. Having a strong Bow User in One Piece that Usopp could face, would be cool.
Not like these weaklings below
Probably won't come true, but i thought i throw it in here.

But I think @Apollo stated that these 10 statues are the statues of the first 10 founders of the WG. The Reverie hall is separated by two sections so we could have see the latter 10 statues on the upper stairs.
What a rookie mistake on my Part. Was all excited writing this that i forgot to even count the Statues,
9 Knights - 10 statues, yeah doesn't add up at all
that 10 founders of the WG sounds way more interesting. But i'am still liking that Gargoyle statues coming to life thing, because there used to be an animated Series about them. I loved watching that as a kid such cool concept and designs

Probably an elite group of at least 8 individuals that protect the gorosei or Imu specifically. Their power lvl should be around yc or slightly higher. They can be even retired marines like kong. Basicaly are glorified security men who reside almost exclusively in mariejoa or act as escorts of the gorosei/Imu wherever they go.
My theory is that they are former government employees/Marines who had the immortality surgery performed on them for their "heroic deeds". So, characters from centuries ago. It's possible that they are Celestial Dragons, or from families that have served the celestial dragons for years(it's theorized that Shanks is part of one of those).
I believe they know about Imu, and are the primary bodyguards of him and the Gorosei.
I think they have potential to be the endgame opponents for some of Luffy's allies in the final war. Maybe a few of the Straw Hats will fight them.
Mary Geoise is definitely their home base, but they probably spend lots of time in other countries that can't pay the heavenly tribute.
I hope they all have unique designs and personalities

i dont really see horns or a cowboy hat. but i can see how people see that. i think the horns guy is just spiky hair and the cowboy hat is something similar. goofy hair or eyebrows
specifically shanks is saying hes going to snatch away/steal the one piece (with the connotation of dispossessing other people of the treasure more than taking it for himself), kaido/big mom say they're going to take it in a very general sense, and buggys talking about catching it like you would a beetle

Doubt it, after all this time of holding back, Oda can let go with the characters we’ve been waiting to see in action and more importantly story resolution. Too many key players involved for it to be boring and even these current chapters are proving that.
Of course there’s no way to satisfy the tons of fanbases that are out there for characters, it’s impossible. Just sit back and enjoy
