One Piece just hinted at Brook's mysterious royal past and his secret bond with Gunko
One Piece just hinted at Brook's mysterious royal past and his secret bond with Gunko New twist in Chapter 1149 connects the Straw Hats' musician to a tragic princess from the past As any One Piece fan will tell you, no one is impervious to surprise character bait, shocking reveal, and tragic origin story. Chapter 1149 of the manga series just knocked us all out cold with a killer twist that links one of the Straw Hat Pirates, Brook, to a royal figure called Gunko. Brook, the crew's living skeleton and musician, might get a more in-depth origin story involving a forgotten kingdom, a princess, and a battle against the World Government. Let's break down what Oda just hinted at and why it has the potential to completely change everything we thought we knew about Brook. Brook's royal connection confirmed in Elbaf arc Gunko turns out to be a lost princess—and Brook may have once protected her One Piece Chapter 1149 was the first time fans ever saw Gunko's hidden memories and found out that she used to be a princess who was kidnapped by the Celestial Dragons. While her memories had been imprisoned by neuroconditioning, once Colon screamed for assistance, these sad recollections began returning to her consciousness. In a wonderful meta moment, Gunko then dramatically reveals that he just figured out who Brook is and shouts his name: "Brook? You're Brook, right?" This single line confirmed what many fans had suspected—Brook and Gunko knew each other long before the story began, likely during a time when Brook served a mysterious kingdom as a battle convoy leader. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Brook's hidden life before the rumbar pirates He was more than just a pirate—Brook was a trained soldier with a noble mission Before joining the Rumbar Pirates and eventually sailing to Laboon, Brook had been a soldier for an unknown kingdom. Though he was later remembered as a simple soldier, as a leader of a treasure convoy to support the royal family, he would have definitely been well-connected to the royal family. Brook has already hinted at this in previous arcs, as he said on one occasion, 'Long ago, I served as the leader of the battle convoy of a certain kingdom.' Gunko was the former princess of said kingdom, and Brook likely her bodyguard or court musician. This would explain both her nostalgia for him crooning and her original calling to be a pirate. Gunko was taken by the celestial dragons Her kingdom may have been destroyed—and Brook might have failed to save her Gunko's flashbacks show her crying out for her father as she's dragged away—likely by the Celestial Dragons themselves or their agents. One whole kingdom decimated and maybe even entirely eradicated, this lends credence to the theory that her whole kingdom was massacred and driven to Brook, or at least, to few enough remaining to pass fable as folklore. It's this heartbreaking experience that likely compelled Brook to leave his home country and eventually come on board with the Rumbar Pirates. Then he died, was resurrected with the power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi, and that all changed. He's lost nearly everything that once made him, him. Though resuscitation may have knocked his memory awake, if the needless death of his earthly form resuscitated it, the magnificent bond between him and Gunko is intact. What happens next? Brook may face Gunko under Imu's control Gunko is still brainwashed—and Luffy's crew must save her before it's too late Gunko is indeed ultimately under the control of Imu, the shadowy figure that's been implied to be the ultimate wielder of power in the World Government. Brook's reunion with her is as heart wrenchingly tragic, because she can't fully escape the mind control just … Read more Because Brook's music can heal the hearts and souls of lost children, perhaps only this healing gift can restore Gunko's lost, full memories and liberate her from Imu's malevolent control. Luffy and the gang have to fight their way back to the surface and regroup. When does One Piece chapter 1150 release? The Elbaf arc seems set to begin in earnest in the One Piece chapter 1096 spoilers, and hopefully we'll continue to learn more about Brook and Gunko's connection. Here's when you can expect to see it, INDYCAR fans — can't wait to see you there! Forthcoming in 2025 Official release date: June 1, 2025 Released in English on Manga Plus on May 31 (US/UK) early!

Outside of that, this potential arc has all the makings of being one of the most emotional, and thus most powerful, components of the final One Piece saga, and anime fans can't help but be excited to see how Oda builds off this moment in the chapters to come.

One Piece chapter 1149 finally reveals the strongest warrior in elbaf
One Piece chapter 1149 finally reveals the strongest warrior in elbafcredit- Fandom Such as this legendary pirate who returns as Oda continues to flip the power rankings on his head in the world's most popular anime The resulting chapter has caused an uproar among One Piece fans across the globe. Of course, Chapter 1149 not only brought us glorious combat sequences, but it set the stage with some key characters who'll shape the Elbaf arc for years to come! For long-time observers and first-time readers, this chapter could be one of the most consequential in the whole saga. Perhaps most striking is the fact that the strongest warrior in Elbaf has finally been introduced — and it's someone tied to the lineage of the Pirate King himself. Here's a quick rundown of what went down and why it's significant. Who is the strongest man in elbaf? Scopper Gaban steps out of the shadows After decades of veneration, Scopper Gaban has finally returned — and he's arguably stronger than anyone in Elbaf. Often referred to as the left-hand man of Gol D. Roger, Gaban was one of the most notorious pirates of the Golden Age of the Pirate King. Now, in Chapter 1149, it's been proven unequivocally he is the strongest warrior of Elbaf. 'He's the man equal to Roger and Rayleigh.' — Elbaf Giants Even in a country like Elbaf, where the strongest of Giants are wary of Gaban's strength. In the new chapter, there's a crucial scene where Jinbe declares that Gaban is a match for Silvers Rayleigh, with another character, Colon, even calling Gaban 'the strongest of the strong.' This surely puts Gaban above even the dreaded Giants of Elbaf. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรดทองCFDs กับโบรกเกอร์ที่เชื่อถือได้ | เรียนรู้เพิ่มเติม IC Markets สมัคร Undo For fans who've been waiting their whole lives to see Gaban kick ass, this was an emotional moment and evidence that Oda is willing to explore the Pirate King's legacy. Gaban was part of Roger's elite trio The legendary trio: Roger, Rayleigh, and Gaban Long before Luffy and the Straw Hats came on the scene, the Pirate King's Roger Pirates and his crew were the ones to gaze upon a king's road. At the center of this crew were three almost mythological figures, Gol D. Roger, Silvers Rayleigh, and Scopper Gaban. These three were described as being on level footing with one another in strength, each able to go up against entire fleets by itself. Considering this backstory, it's no surprise that Gaban would be so revered in Elbaf. Even if he is past his prime, his raw might, experience, and Haki talent make him an intimidating figure even 500 years later. Is Luffy stronger than gaban? Elbaf's power rankings explained Luffy and Loki are close contenders, but not the top While Scopper Gaban might be the strongest right now in Elbaf, others are rapidly catching up in strength and power. Two alternate names loom large: Him being the Prince of Elbaf, it's mentioned that he has forbidding power and Haki. Not much is known about his complete skill set, but some think he could soon be competing with Gaban. Of these, only Monkey D. Luffy, now one of the Four Emperors (Yonko) himself, could best Gaban at full strength. Of course, that all hasn't stopped Luffy from taking out Old Man Hallejudice, or previously fighting the likes of legendical Kaido and coming out on top. Arguably, even in the eyes of the always optimistic Luffy, Gaban's experience and wisdom might just be what makes him the most dangerous opponent. While Luffy's power definitely outmatches him by this point, Gaban is still Elbaf's number one—if only until Elbaf actually joins Luffy. Imu enters elbaf: A new threat rises in chapter 1149 The most powerful villain in One Piece is finally making moves Chapter 1149 didn't end with merely bringing Gaban into the story. It signaled the Inauguration of Imu, the world's enigmatic ruler. Relying on and even worse, being dependent on the body of the power of a Holy Knight Gunko, now Imu is physically in Elbaf. This all serves as a prologue to something much greater, though: a war between the Straw Hats and the world's real ruler. If Imu is at full power, they would quickly turn into the most dangerous creature on the globe—even more so than Gaban or Rayleigh by leaps and bounds. This development has left fans reeling, naturally – for it has confirmed that one of One Piece's greatest twists and reveals means the series has finally arrived at its endgame. When will One Piece chapter 1150 release? The next chapter of One Piece will be released in English on June 1st, 2025… US and UK fans can read it for free and simultaneously on Manga Plus or the Shonen Jump app. Here's an international timezone guide to give our fans all around the globe a quick reference point.

One Piece finally answers the big question: Is Zoro stronger than Sanji?
Credit- Fandom In case you missed it, the latest One Piece chapter has fans all abuzz. Chapter 1149 Elbaf's biggest revelations And perhaps most significantly, dispatches a debate that's divided the fandom for years: Who's stronger — Zoro or Sanji? One Piece is, literally, the most successful manga/anime property in the world —OP, as fans spell it, —that is written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It follows Monkey D. Luffy, a young, stretchy pirate whose dream is to be the King of the Pirates. Along for the ride are his equally powerful crewmates, the Straw Hat Pirates that include Zoro, the swordsman and Sanji, the cook and martial artist. These two have been good-natured friendly rivals Zoro vs Sanji: A legendary rivalry in One Piece Zoro and Sanji gain their own arcs and depth, and these two aren't just side characters—they're integral to Luffy's journey. After saving the entire crew numerous times apiece and battling some of the fiercest combatants in the One Piece universe, both have come to be strong successors to their mentor's duty. As Oda himself once called them the 'Wings of the Pirate King,' Luffy cannot achieve his dream without both of them standing with him. Fans still argue over which one of the two is more powerful. While many believe Zoro's unmatched swordsmanship skills and overall strength and brute force are what puts him on top, other fans make the case for Sanji citing his speed, strategic logic, and upgraded Vinsmoke genetic enhancements. As far as Chapter 1149 is concerned, they are all equal. Really, truly, equals. One Piece chapter 1149 confirms: Zoro and Sanji are equal in power In this new chapter, viewers are introduced to a new and incredibly mighty ancient pirate, Scopper Gaban, who was one of creator Eiichiro Oda's original Roger Gol D. 's crew (the first Pirate King). He had fought next to Roger and Silvers Rayleigh, two of the most powerful pirates the world had ever seen. This configuration is more than just lore. It's a direct, literal mirror to the current Straw Hat crew. Similar to how Rayleigh and Gaban equally supported Roger, it's Zoro and Sanji who fully support Luffy. For more evidence, Oda even used dialogue from Jinbe, one of the current day Strawhats, to emphasize that Gaban and Rayleigh were matched. To me, this is Oda's way of saying that Zoro and Sanji reflect that dynamic and are the same relative level of strength. Zoro and Sanji's growth reflects a bigger story In addition to his nearly unbeatable sword skill, Zoro has always been defined by his iron will. From enduring hellacious 1v100 battles to learning how to use Advanced Armament Haki, Zoro has always been a character at the bleeding edge of innovation. That growth is in contrast with the way Sanji has matured. His emotional maturity, as well as his genetic enhancements and speed-based fighting style makes him equally deadly in combat. Though mostly retired, his raid suit demonstrated that he was capable of attaining new heights of power without compromising his fundamental principles. Thanks to Chapter 1149, this shift means that for fans of the Straw Hats' first real antagonists — it's not about who's better — it's about how both characters propel each other to greater heights, just like Luffy needs both of them in exactly equal measure. Zoro and Sanji will stand beside Luffy as equals Now that One Piece entered its final saga, power levels among characters are more crucial than ever. Big Mom has fought a lot of equally played threats. Right now we're in the middle of the revelation of her biggest battles to date, with the Straw Hats attempting to topple the Holy Knights on Elbaf — another elite enemy force bent on enslaving the giant race. Given just how jacked this world is, it heavily increases the odds that the Straw Hats need to go hard and depend on their strongest warriors. Zoro and Sanji being equal in strength cements them both to take on a key role during the final war, much like Rayleigh and Gaban did back during Roger's era. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji are officially all on the same level of power now, and viewers have much to look forward to in seeing these three collectively strong players sweep through the final conflict of the series together. Zoro and Sanji are both legends in the making This final chapter ties up one of the most contentious fan debates in all of anime — Zoro and Sanji are of equal strength, and serve as equally important pieces to the puzzle of the adventures to come. Whether you're #TeamZoro or #TeamSanji, one thing is now clear — both are future legends, though they take their place shoulder to shoulder as the Pirate King's wings.

One Piece Chapter 1149 Spoilers Out: Gunko Shoots Down Gaban As Imu Takes Over—Everything You Need To Know
As per the One Piece Chapter 1149 spoilers, the upcoming chapter will be titled 'One Second' and spans 19 pages, including a two-page color spread featuring the Straw Hats running a maid café. Nami, Robin, Lilith, and Bonney serve as maids. Meanwhile, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, a cat, and a humanoid goat enjoy their time—though Usopp and the cat are shocked at the menu prices. This fun illustration references Izakaya Bottakuri, a manga and novel series. The One Piece Chapter 1149 spoilers then depict the main story, where Scopper Gaban uses an attack across the chest called 'Futenraku' (meaning "Heavenly Music Axe") on Saint Shepherd Sommers. This causes the latter to collapse onto his own thorns. Despite being immortal, Sommers cannot regenerate from the blow, remaining motionless for the rest of the chapter. Gaban then rushes to help Colon. Meanwhile, Saint Killingham finishes setting fire to the school and library as the giants watch on in tears. As the children despair, Gaban arrives, and Colon calls out to him. Gunko realizes Colon is Gaban's son and threatens the boy in One Piece Chapter 1149 spoilers. As Gunko holds an arrow-sword to Colon's neck, Gaban pleads with him to 'hold on one second.' Gunko begins stabbing Colon, drawing blood. Furious and radiating black lightning from his axe, Gaban prepares to strike. However, his Observation Haki reveals that he cannot reach Colon in time. Forced to surrender, Gaban drops his weapon and begs Gunko to stop. In a dramatic double-spread, Gunko stabs Gaban with three arrows, piercing his torso. As Gaban falls from the tree, he apologizes to Colon and Elbaph. As Colon desperately calls out for his father, the One Piece Chapter 1149 spoilers shift to Gunko's memories. She sees a flashback of a crying woman screaming 'Father!' and then another memory of Brook holding hands with a small girl, saying he dreams of becoming a pirate. These hints strongly suggest Gunko may be the girl from Brook's past. As Gunko runs toward Brook, seemingly regaining clarity, Imu's voice pierces the minds of all three Holy Knights. Imu demands answers from them, revealing the Holy Land is in flames and that military force is now needed. In the final panel of the One Piece Chapter 1149 spoilers, Imu takes control of Gunko's body, giving her menacing eyes and enveloping her in black lightning. Imu declares, 'Mu will show thee… what it means to be ruled by God!!!' Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more spoilers like this and updates on the One Piece manga.
