One Piece chapter 1160 has shaken fans with the introduction of a new and terrifying figure: Gunko, known as the “God’s Blade” and seemingly Imu’s right hand. This revelation suggests that Imu now possesses a living weapon who may be even stronger than Shanks himself.

Gunko first appeared at the beginning of the Elbaf arc, arriving alongside Shamrock and immediately drawing attention. According to Shamrock, Gunko was powerful enough to defeat Loki, the Elbaf prince with a bounty of 2.6 billion berries, even without restraints.

Later, during the Elbaf chaos, Gunko was revealed as Imu’s vessel. She was seen in the Flower Chamber with Imu and then reappeared in the God Valley flashback, cementing her role as Imu’s closest confidante and ultimate weapon.

Gunko’s strength places her among the most dangerous characters in One Piece. As Elbaf’s central antagonist, she is said to surpass even Loki—whom Red-Haired Shanks once struggled against. Shamrock’s claim that Gunko could easily defeat Loki has fueled speculation that she may even outclass Shanks and the other Yonko.

Her abilities include immortality, which can only be pierced by advanced Conqueror’s Haki, and mastery of the Aro Aro no Mi, a Devil Fruit that grants her the power to create and control vector arrows. Combined with Imu’s control, this makes Gunko arguably the most unstoppable force revealed so far.

Imu’s choice to wield Gunko as his “sword” underscores her unique importance. Unlike other subordinates, she alone appears capable of serving as Imu’s vessel, suggesting her unmatched potential within the World Government’s ranks.

As the God Valley flashback unfolds and the Elbaf arc progresses, fans can expect more shocking revelations about Gunko’s true power and her place in the battle between Imu, the Yonko, and the new generation of pirates.
