Guessing it'll be Shanks, who is one of those God's knights, in some elaborate 5D chess move to somehow take down the world government.

How do you do, fellow Regis?
It's a bit late in the game to be introducing a new group of enemies isn't it? How come we've never heard of God's Knights until now?

Ahh I can't be mad at you, Oda. I know they're gonna be awesome and I'll love them like I love most of the Supernovas.

But you do realize that you have to introduce them/have them fight people now? I thought you wanted to retire someday.

This feels like a chapter that has been picked up from the cutting floor of the Reverie arc. Aside from Green Bull (who could have been revealed any time), there's nothing in here that is contingent on the knowledge we've gained from Wano onwards. A prime example of how Oda's love of silhouettes and "that man"-isms can blow up in his face sometimes.

They might just end up filling a similar role as the Gifters: Powerful mooks with individual abilities that don't get separate fights, but provide a prime opportunity for Oda to squeeze in some character-design ideas that wouldn't fit anywhere else.

A very interesting chapter, in any case. I like how methodical the Revolutionaries actually are, with plausible long-term plans, calculated maneuvers and quite a bit of pragmatism even from someone as overtly idealistic as Sabo.

I can't wait to entertain you.
The Knights (and the Admirals) seem like obvious high tier fodder for all the Straw Hat fleet crews and friends to fight, as they themselves take on Blackbeard and crew. Assuming it's an all out end melee for the One Piece, also assuming that they're not in actuality the double agent Red Hair pirates, lol.

Flashback time! The best time!

But before the flashback, that shot of Ivankov fantasizing about starving the ruling class was incredibly satisfying.

I appreciate all the setup this chapter, but I really hope we actually get answers next chapter!

Because before the Navy had the defense of Marijoa covered, but now it's not looking so clear that they're up for it. There's room for plenty of elite warriors in the world. If the last two antagonists are Blackbeard and Imu, we already know about Blackbeard's elite fighters, but who are Imu's elite fighters? Well, here they are being hyped up.

One Piece isn't so close to ending that we don't have time to introduce a group of 12 powerful people to fight!

Heck, we might see one or two at Egghead if they're helping Kizaru escort Saturn.

we already know there’s a whole apparatus cuz Kong is around, so no one should really be surprised

I think half the fun oda gets is building a story just so he can keep throwing in wacky characters, and with how good Wano and WCI were I’ll take it and eat it all up, bless the man

Ok yeah the more I think about it the more it fits for Shanks and maybe his crew are God's Knights. Every single hint towards Shanks' more obtuse actions and his past just slots in perfectly. Im sitting at like 80% chance its this

If it's not it's a deliberate troll cause that middle silhouette is freaking shanks.

You can google red haired shanks and the first match gives you the silhouette in that image. Its the most obvious possible angle of him. So yeah I agree it was chosen to excessively resemble him for some reason either because it's reveal time or a troll.

It also fits because blackbeard/rocks seem positioned to be the most against god while shanks is blackbeard's big time enemy.

shanks being told he's a celestial dragon or something along those lines would be a big enough reason to keep him from chasing the one piece as a child. And we just saw that scene last chapter. Oda is definitely tying this all together
