This article contains spoilers for One Piece.
Overview
- Gunko poses a formidable threat to the Collun Pirates with her merciless abilities and the Aro Aro no Mi Devil Fruit.
- Nami, while not as powerful, has a knack for clever strategies and could be pivotal in Collun’s rescue.
- The Straw Hats must unite to protect Collun, with Jimbei and Robin spearheading the attack, while Nami may devise a strategy to counter Gunko’s powers.
In Chapter 1145 of One Piece, the narrative opens with Zoro and Sanji capturing a Groggysaurus and bringing it back to Loki, who had been injured by the God’s Knights after rejecting their offer to join them.
The chapter also features an intense confrontation between the Giant Warrior Pirates and the Draugrs spawned by Killingham’s Devil Fruit. Scopper Gaban highlights the growing number of Draugrs, as three individuals attempt to mask their presence, which Gaban successfully detects. The chapter culminates with Gunko crossing paths with the Collun Pirates.
The Collun Pirates Face Dire Consequences
Gunko: A Ruthless Adversary
Gunko, a member of the God’s Knights, is a relentless force to be reckoned with, placing Collun and his crew in significant danger. Armed with the Aro Aro no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, Gunko can conjure vector-based arrows and manipulate their trajectory.
This devastating ability allows her to enhance the velocity and impact of her attacks while also employing these arrows for mobility. Furthermore, her mastery of Haki further amplifies her formidable prowess, making her a dangerous opponent capable of defeating anyone in her path.
Nami’s Ultimate Challenge Awaits
On board the Collun Pirates’ vessel are several Straw Hats, including:
- Nami
- Brook
- Nico Robin
- Jimbei
- Usopp
Among the crew, Jimbei and Robin stand out as seasoned fighters. However, Nami’s contribution should not be underestimated. Although her main role involves navigating the treacherous waters of the New World, she has proven time and again her ability to defend herself and others in combat.
Nami’s protective instincts extend particularly towards children. She is known for her fierce responses, as seen when she reacted vehemently against Caesar for his cruel experiments on kids and showed concern for the younger inhabitants of Elbaf in Chapter 1145.
While Nami may appear outmatched by Gunko, she has a track record of unexpected resilience. Though lacking an overwhelmingly powerful Devil Fruit, her intelligence and quick wits have saved her from peril countless times.
Strategies for Saving Collun
Gunko’s intent on punishing Collun creates an urgent crisis, as she shows no mercy regardless of her target’s age. Given Collun’s youth, the Straw Hats must act swiftly to prevent any harm.
With Jimbei and Robin at the forefront, they bring vital experience to their offensive strategy while Usopp, Nami, and Chopper focus on safeguarding Collun. Nami’s connection with Zeus, a powerful Homie influenced by Big Mom’s essence, could amplify their offensive efforts. Moreover, Nami’s keen perceptiveness may provide crucial insights to neutralize Gunko’s Devil Fruit abilities, enhancing the combat efficacy of Robin and Jimbei.
Given the stature of Gunko as one of the God’s Knights, it is reasonable to anticipate a protracted battle rather than a swift resolution. Unless Gunko outmatches all six Straw Hats significantly, fans can expect this encounter to unfold over multiple chapters.
