Summary

  • Chapter 1136 of One Piece introduces key lore and reveals that change the foundations of everything previously known about the ancient world.
  • Gunko’s mysterious powers and possible connection to Imu prompt fan theories and speculation.
  • Shanks’ twin may be the new Supreme Commander of the Gods’ Knights, indicating a hierarchy shift.

In the world of “One Piece”, Chapter 1136 is creating quite a stir, being hailed as one of the most significant chapters in the franchise’s history. This is due to some mind-blowing and unforeseen revelations about the ancient world’s lore that have turned everything fans believed on its head. Moreover, it offers insights into key characters as the story delves into its Final Saga.

In the latest development of “One Piece,” the enigmatic figures appearing since Chapter 1134 have been officially identified as God’s Knights, a fact that many fans had already speculated. The recently unveiled character is named Gunko, and there’s widespread speculation among fans that she might be linked to the world’s enigmatic ruler, Imu. Here, we delve into the potential implications of this revelation.

Gunko’s Possible Connection To Imu

How They Could Be Directly Connected

Gunko’s First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 1134, “The Owl Library”
Imu’s First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 906, “The Holy Land Mary Geoise”

It’s true that some believe there could be a link between Imu and Gunko, but this idea is rather speculative. The specifics of her powers are yet to be fully understood, but they do bear a strong resemblance to those displayed by Imu and even somewhat Doflamingo’s String-String Fruit ability.

In bandages that cover her entire mouth, Gunko is depicted in Chapter 1136 as possessing a unique ability: she can produce bandage-like substances from her arms. This skill has sparked interest among fans due to the arrow-shaped tip on these powers, which bears a striking resemblance to the shadowy attacks used by Imu to kill King Cobra and wound Sabo during the Reverie arc. Remarkably, both characters seem capable of fashioning an arrow and controlling it separately from their bodies, exhibiting impressive agility and speed as they spin and maneuver it with precision.

Some fans are speculating whether there could be a relationship between Gunko and Imu, given that both hold significant positions. As Imu is essentially the leader of all Celestial Dragons and only a Celestial Dragon can become a God’s Knight, some fans have even suggested that Gunko might be Imu’s daughter. This theory gains some credibility since Gunko is present on Elbaf, alongside Garling’s possible son who could potentially be the Supreme Commander of the faction.

It’s unlikely that she is the daughter of the most powerful person in the world, as she was seen taking orders from Shanks’ twin. This doesn’t add up if she is actually a high-ranking figure like a daughter of the world’s most powerful person. On the contrary, there’s a more plausible theory that Gunko might be the one in the Chamber of Flowers, delivering news and bowing to Imu. Since no one below the Gorosei and the God’s Knights appear to know about Imu, it’s possible that Gunko is the one who holds this secretive position.

Where Does Shanks’ Twin Fit Into All This?

The New Supreme Commander of the Gods’ Knights

Currently, there’s strong indication that the individual traveling with Gunko on Elbaf might be Shanks’ twin or a clone, causing speculation about his place in this scenario if Gunko and Imu are directly connected. Given that he has ascended to the rank of one of the 5 Elders, replacing Garling, his son is the prime suspect for inheriting his previous role as the Supreme Commander of the Gods’ Knights.

In Chapter 1136, Gunko displayed her true form with an intent to choke the giant Wolf and contemplate immediate action against Loki for his disrespect. Yet, Shanks’ counterpart reined in her pride, reminding her not to act hasty. The fact that she refrained from killing Loki as she desired demonstrates that his power outranks hers, implying she can only proceed with actions after obtaining his consent first.

Don’t get ahead of yourself, Gunko.

It’s very plausible that Gunko isn’t associated with Imu directly, and it seems reasonable to assume that Shanks’ twin is now the leader of the Gods’ Knights, a theory that many fans have been suggesting. The reason behind this assumption is that after Imu and the Five Elders, his influence is the most significant within the World Government, making him the highest-ranking authority following them.
