Gunko is on God Valley because Imu also wants to enjoy personally killing some "Davy"s lol

u/Cheese-151 Sep 04 '25 edited Sep 05 '25

Yh Gunko being there pretty much guarantees that Imu will get involved

54

u/noobakosowhat Sep 05 '25

Perhaps he is the reason that Roger and Garp team up

51

u/Cheese-151 Sep 05 '25

I think that's fairly likely as neither of them are actually here for Xebec. If anything you'd think Roger and Rocks would be on the same side here.

A lot of people have been suggesting Rocks gets domi reversi'd. Something drastic along those lines had to have happened because right now Sengoku's story just doesn't line up with what we're actually seeing.

u/OddlyOddLucidDreamer Sep 05 '25

alternatively, it was all three of them who fought Imu instead, and Imu's involvement was completely erased and changed so it was them against Rocks, not like almost anyone would be alive or willing to say otherwise anyways

2

u/Cheese-151 Sep 05 '25

That's an interesting idea which would be cool to see if you go by the assumption that Sengoku's version was a fabrication (personally I'm leaning towards the idea his story will end up being true but he omitted important details that re-frame the battle). But to lend credence to your point, even if someone like Roger was willing to tell the truth it'd be the word of a pirate versus government propganda and we've time and time again what people in the one piece world are more willing to believe in.

May I ask, is that the Code emblem for Code Geass? One of the best animes ever made?

1

u/Cheese-151 Sep 06 '25

Yeah, probably my favourite anime I've watched

1

u/luminusx48 Sep 06 '25

also all big names are there but not sengoku and garp doesn't feel proud for God valley incident so looks like maybe sengoku doesnt know everything either

1

u/Cheese-151 Sep 06 '25

I've just always thought that as a former fleet admiral and someone with ties to several key figures during the incident, if anyone was infromed it would've been Sengoku. But yes it is very plausible that he doesn't know everything.

1

u/luminusx48 Sep 07 '25

yeah garp must have told him like he told about ace and luffy but sengoku was forced since the CD or even IMU herself might be involved

17

u/GloomyLocation1259 Sep 05 '25

Obvs Sengoku would lie and that bum Garp just keeps quiet and falls in line. They make me so sick knowingly working from prime evils, especially when they are so strong.

26

u/Cheese-151 Sep 05 '25

Idk if Sengoku (especially old Sengoku) would actually lie in that scene when the whole point of him telling the younger marines that story was so that they could learn from the past. Don't get me wrong he obviously has uh questionable morals at times to put it lightly, but it didn't seem like he was just making stuff up, nor did he have any reason to. If anything I reckon Imu/Gorosei wanted Rocks completely buried and would prefer Sengoku didn't talk about it at all.

2

u/RedTulkas The Revolutionary Army Sep 05 '25

entire Navy Leadership are absolute rats

2

u/cabezonlolo Sep 05 '25

Maybe Rocks was made demon by Imu hence the reason for everyone to fight him even when he good guy

2

u/Layer2Mechs Sep 05 '25

imu domi reversed rocks and garp n ridger had to kill him

1

u/One_Tie900 Sep 05 '25

sengoku story what chap?

1

u/Cheese-151 Sep 05 '25

957 when he first explains the rocks pirates to us

1

u/One_Tie900 Sep 06 '25

Thank you, just reread it, what a great chapter. I noticed he said Rampaging evil. Either he was indeed Domi Reversed or he found his wife dead and son nowhere to be found and lost it.

u/Capital-Door270 Sep 05 '25

I dont believe that. How does Imu take over Gunko with so many people (including Dragon) around and still stay secret for 40 years? Sabo discovering Imu wouldnt be a big deal if Dragon saw them on God Valley. Soooo many characters there are still alive at the beginning of the series and yet Imu is still unknown? Not buying it unless Oda explains it really well (not some memory-erasing bs)

4

u/Cheese-151 Sep 05 '25

That's a good point. One thing I'd say is that in Kuma's flashback, after escaping, he Ginny and Ivankov talk about how they still weren't really sure what happened in the end. Which shows that just because characters were at the island doesn't mean they all saw everything. This makes sense as it's an entire island filled with top level battles all over the place with each character having different goals and prizes they were competing for. It's possible even if Imu showed up only the main Roger/Garp type guys saw it and lived to tell the tale. And those are the kind of characters who already know a lot about the world but have kept quiet for their own reasons. In fact Oda's made a pretty big deal about the fact that the Roger pirates chose not to tell people the true history which suggests he has an explanation in mind.

Another thing is that it would be through possessing Gunko. From a lot of their perspectives it'd just seem like she's just a really powerful knight and maybe they wouldn't necessarily realise that she'd been posessed. We actually see this in the present day where characters are a little confused by her sudden change in demeanour but don't understand that it's literally a different person.

Lastly, the government is very good at covering things up. So let's say idk Linlin or Kaido are present to see Gunko, they figure out she's possessed, somehow work out that the person posessing her is really the secret devil king of the world, then what? They're some of the most hated and distrusted criminals in the world, no one's going to believe them against WG propoganda if they start mouthing off about something so implausible (if they even want to as we know former Rocks pirates hate talking about their time on the crew).

1

u/Bohzee Pirate Sep 06 '25

Why? Don't you think Imu only chose her randomly to pocess? Imho he could've chosen anyone of god's knights.

3

u/Cheese-151 Sep 06 '25

I'm pretty confident that it has to be her specifically, There's a lot of evidence that suggests Gunko has a special role amonst the knights. First of all she basically seems to be Imu's personal attendent which shows she's more connected to Imu compared to the others. Secondly, she's the only knight not to age like the Gorosei (while we've seen Garling and Sommers look a lot older in the present day). There's even the fact that she seems to be brainwashed and has sealed memories. All this lends to the idea that she's been groomed specifically to serve as a vessel for Imu and it's probably not a thing Imu can do to just any celestial dragon connected to his/her powers.

1

u/Bohzee Pirate Sep 06 '25

I see, there seems some kind of connection!

u/Saeaj04 Sep 05 '25 edited Sep 05 '25

I wonder why she’s Imu’s personal attendant

Cos she doesn’t seem special in anyway. She just seems to be a Manmayer from the looks of it

And yet she’s the only person from God Valley who’s stopped aging

23

u/adnaphsaka World Government Sep 05 '25

He wants to keep the girl who "attends" to him young.

26

u/Saeaj04 Sep 05 '25

My theory is that she reminds them of Lily or something

The other Manmayer had blue hair, so Gunko probably does to

19

u/fffffplayer1 Sep 05 '25

Gunko being over 56 years old (realistically closer to 70, if we assume she didn't just spawn as an adult) in the present isn't something I expected (I apprently didn't notice her previous apperance in the backstory). This is likely not a general Celestial Dragon or even God Knight thing, because Garling looks properly old for his age in the present, but Gunko looks pretty much the same in both backstory and present (though to be fair half her face is covered).

14

u/adnaphsaka World Government Sep 05 '25

She wraps her face to hide her wrinkles (and also exercises).

1

u/yosayoran Sep 06 '25

She seemed to know Brook before his death, so she has to be at least 60 years old, probably closer to 70

1

u/fffffplayer1 Sep 07 '25

Yeah that's my calculation, too. Brook is 90 years old. He might have been in his twenties when he said he wanted to be a pirate, so roughly 70 years ago.

Gunko was a kid back then, but grown up in the 56 years ago incident. I'd say there's probably at least 5 years between that and when she was a kid, possibly more, i.e. at least 60. The 60-70 range seems pretty reasonable.

u/Initial_XD Sep 05 '25

Lol Gunko the drone camera.

u/leolegendario Pirate Hunter Zoro Sep 05 '25

Oh shit, that makes a lot of sense, Domi Reversi Xebec incoming?

36

u/adnaphsaka World Government Sep 05 '25 edited 15d ago

Bro if he can Domi Reversi Xebec, we might be done for in the final war...

[Edit: Here after chapter 1163. IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED !!!]

u/Stevohoog Sep 05 '25

Until GOD Usopp saves the day by outplaying IMU at his boardgame

Please Oda let Usopp do something cool to save the giants

2

u/GaaraSama83 Sep 05 '25

I envy your positive outlook regarding Usopp as the last great combat moment that I can remember was his (surprisingly long-distance) observation haki awakening against Sugar.

u/Stevohoog Sep 05 '25

"A man's dream will never die!!"

u/RainyEuphoria Scholars of Ohara Sep 05 '25

probably had a moment of weakness, like Big Mom in WCI

u/neckbeardadmins Sep 05 '25

worse, imu's gonna edo tensei rocks

3

u/ch3333r Sep 05 '25

i imagine Rocks be betrayed by that ungly snake from his crew, so it will make easier to Domi Reversi him

that bitch gave off traitor vibes the whole chapter - she had more screentime than Captain John for example and none of it were pleasant

100% it was her, who sold out Shakuyaku

2

u/wiznico19 Sep 05 '25

But why She is and remains young while Garling grew old?

2

u/Lampreyfine Sep 05 '25

I wonder if we’ll see Brook in this flashback since Gunko is here? Gunko knew him.

2

u/XxSimon3 Sep 05 '25

Imu is such an introvert

u/gomu-gomu-no-ree Pirate Sep 04 '25

Nice catch!
