Gunko

Gunko is a member of the God's Knights and a World Noble, playing a significant role as an antagonist in the Elbaph Arc. She is a young woman of average height, distinguished by her light hair and heterochromia, featuring a dark right eye and a light left eye. Her appearance includes bandages wrapped around the lower half of her face and knees, a dark newsboy cap with goggles, a double-breasted jacket with long sleeves, a dark cape, and dark boots with cylindrical structures.

As a God's Knight, Gunko embodies extreme arrogance and ruthlessness, driven to complete her missions swiftly. This arrogance is particularly evident in her interactions with Loki, where she expresses frustration and confusion at his refusal to join the God's Knights, a position many aspire to. Despite her haughty demeanor, she acknowledges the chain of command and shows respect toward her superior, Shamrock. Gunko has also admitted to fearing the legendary Sun God Nika for reasons that remain unclear. Her intense focus on her mission is often coupled with violent outbursts; for instance, she attacked a giant for dismissing her and threatened Loki for perceived insolence. Like other World Nobles, she holds a low opinion of regular people, showing indifference to the suffering of others, including children.

 

Gunko is a formidable combatant, capable of facing multiple members of the Straw Hat Pirates and emerging victorious. Upon her arrival in Elbaph, she demonstrated her prowess by fearlessly engaging two giants, brutally attacking several of Loki's animals, and defeating the incapacitated prince in raw combat.

She possesses the Aro Aro no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to create and control bandage-like strips shaped like arrows. These arrows can be detached, levitated, and controlled from a distance, serving various offensive purposes. They can be used for stabbing, binding an opponent's limbs, or even choking them. Gunko can also form constructs like giant gauntlets and boots to enhance her striking power. Notably, she can walk on these arrows, creating pathways through the air, and can even shape them into flying creatures resembling birds.

Gunko's arrows allow her to augment her attacks by creating designated paths that increase their velocity and momentum, significantly enhancing the force of each strike. However, this also reveals her intended moves to her opponents. She can apply this property defensively, redirecting attacks back at her opponents or their allies.

In combat, Gunko skillfully combines her Devil Fruit powers with hand-to-hand techniques, allowing her to navigate through attacks and deliver powerful strikes at close range. She bears a mark that enables her to use magic circles known as Abysses for transportation, having been transported to Elbaph alongside Shamrock. She can summon other marked individuals at will by calling them through the Abyss, regardless of their current activities. Remarkably, Gunko is effectively immortal, capable of healing instantaneously from injuries, such as recovering from having her upper body blown off without any apparent reaction. Additionally, she possesses powerful Haki, which was sensed as a massive burst resembling black lightning upon her arrival in Elbaph.
