One Piece chapter 1149 , we witness a moving scene that sparked a flurry of fan theories. When Colon desperately cries out "Father!", it triggers something surprising: the recovery of Gunko . So, what does this mean for the character's future?
The true origin of Gunko
First of all, I don't believe Gunko is Brook's daughter. Although many fans consider this possibility, everything indicates that she is the daughter of a friend of his. The scene where we hear Brook say " my dream is to be a pirate " suggests that this flashback occurred before he even joined the crew. Therefore, Gunko must be someone important from his past, but not necessarily a fellow adventurer.
Parallels with Victoria Cindry
Undeniably, the theme of erased memories and loss of identity immediately recalls Victoria Cindry Imu 's mysterious powers .
Thus, it's possible that Gunko has been dead for a long time, her body preserved without a mind or memories. However, as we saw in the chapter, in moments of great emotion, she can recover fragments of her former identity, just as happened with Cindry.
Gunko's possible fate
Eventually, I believe Gunko will find peace, but in a tragic way: through her own death. This is a recurring narrative pattern in One Piece. I wouldn't be surprised if Brook is the one responsible for freeing her for good, ending her pain, and giving her the rest she deserves.
Finally, what a powerful and emotional arc we're following! For more theories like this, follow AnimeNew on WhatsApp and Instagram .
