If they are which we have no proof it means that for those who believe La Fay and Verrine to be in his peerage it can't happen unless you believe a mutated Rook or Knight will be enough for Verrine. For all we know these are God's or someone else teammates( remember unless it's going to be like his first match in in the tournament because his next match they'll have to create at least 8 new characters?) or maybe even Royguns peerage. We just don't know but I would like to think that they are going to be part of Issei's peerage.
