One Piece chapter 1160 delivers stunning revelations, especially with the God Valley event officially underway. Amid all the chaos, one character has captured fans’ attention: Saint Gunko. Known as the “God’s Blade,” Gunko is implied to be Imu’s right hand. This makes her one of the most terrifying enemies in One Piece, particularly as she currently ravages Elbaf under Imu’s control as a vessel.
Gunko, Imu’s “God’s Blade”
Gunko was first introduced at the start of the Elbaf arc. She arrived alongside Shamrock and immediately drew attention. Shamrock claimed Gunko was strong enough to defeat a monster with a 2.6 billion beri bounty like Loki, even if he wasn’t restrained.
During the Elbaf events, Gunko became a vessel for Imu. She was seen in the Flower Room with Imu and later appeared at God Valley. In this event, she was called the “God’s Blade.” All these details suggest Gunko is Imu’s closest confidant and possibly his right hand. It seems Imu cannot use just anyone as a vessel, highlighting Gunko’s unique status.
Gunko Ranks Among the Strongest in One Piece
Gunko has demonstrated extraordinary power. As the main antagonist of Elbaf, Shamrock even stated she is stronger than Loki. Controlled by Imu, she may be the strongest character in One Piece right now, surpassing even the Four Emperors. Remember, Red-Haired Shanks struggled to defeat Loki, but Shamrock claims Gunko could easily take him down. There’s no reason for fans to doubt Shamrock’s words.
Gunko possesses immortality, a trait only high-level Conqueror’s Haki users can pierce. Additionally, she wields the Aro Aro no Mi Devil Fruit, granting her the ability to create and control vector arrows with great skill. Imu would not choose just anyone as his “blade,” so Gunko must be a top-tier warrior, even among the World Government’s elite. Surely, Oda will continue to reveal her full potential in both the God Valley flashbacks and the Elbaf arc.
