Fans of One Piece were taken by surprise with the unexpected musical link between Gunko and Brook in the ongoing Elbaf arc. Ichiro Oda introduced a new character, a member of God’s Knight, who happens to be a huge admirer of the Soul King’s magical music. Initially, many in the fandom thought this was merely for comic relief, given Oda’s penchant for playful humor. However, with the release of One Piece manga chapter 1149, it’s clear that the connection between Brook and Gunko stretches far beyond music.
Recently, the highly anticipated encounter between Gunko and Brook finally occurred, but it wasn’t quite what fans wanted to see. Gunko physically overpowered her musical hero when he declined her offer to sail the seas with her as a subordinate. Just when we thought their story had reached a dead end, Oda proved once again that he loves delivering surprises.
After Gaban submits to Gunko, she uses her devil fruit powers to incapacitate him. In this tense moment, we hear Colon desperately calling out for his father, which unexpectedly triggers a significant memory within Gunko that involves Brook.
The flashback toward the end of One Piece chapter 1149 features a girl resembling Gunko, desperately calling for her father. This prompts a memory where a young child joyfully dances to a tune with Brook in his human form. During this nostalgic moment, Brook shares that his dream is to be a pirate, indicating this memory likely predates his time with the Rumbar Pirates.
These clues suggest a profound relationship: could Gunko be Brook’s daughter? If not, she might be his adopted daughter, similar to Nami’s relationship with Belle-mere or Sanji’s with Zef.
Some fans speculate that she could be Yorki’s daughter, Brook’s previous captain. The details of their connection remain shrouded in mystery, especially since Gunko is currently under Imu’s influence. However, we can expect to uncover more about their relationship in upcoming chapters.
The deepening bond between Brook and Gunko is one of the story’s thrilling twists. Oda has kept Brook’s backstory a secrecy until now, but he’s finally beginning to unravel it, reminiscent of how he unveiled Kuma’s past during the Egghead arc.
Though many anticipated the Elbaf arc would focus on Usopp’s character development, Oda has shifted the spotlight to Brook unexpectedly. Do you think Gunko is Brook’s daughter? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
What other connections could be lurking in the shadows of One Piece? It’s always refreshing to see how layers of character interactions unfold. Whether you’re looking for deeper meanings or just enjoying the adventure, there’s much to explore and analyze!
