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.

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 hints at Sanji's future power-up with major reveal in chapter 1149
credit- Fandom Conqueror's Haki and Future Sight are coming for the Straw Hats' cook—and it's officially being teased by Oda One Piece Chapter 1149 just released, and it's got longtime fans rolling on the floor in excitement—particularly those who've been waiting for Sanji's next major power-up. While the Elbaf arc is currently heating up with absolutely insane and awesome battles, the biggest surprise actually came with one huge reveal related to maybe the most mysterious and coolest legend from Gol D. Roger's crew: Scopper Gaban. This might suggest that Sanji is on the verge of manifesting two of the most powerful abilities possible in One Piece lore, just in time for the big battle against the World Government's going to get heated. Sanji's future power boost: Conqueror's haki and future sight explained What makes these powers so important in the One Piece world? In One Piece, Haki (a form of energy all strong fighters are able to manipulate and utilize in combat) comes in three different flavors. Two of them – for an order of RICO, and for an electronic filing – are incredibly rare: Conqueror's Haki: This kind of Haki is only possessed by those who are strongest and most powerful of will. Imagine Point Luffy, Point Shanks, and now… Point Sanji? Observation Haki – Future Vision—ClimateForward Allows you to look a few seconds into the future in combat. Only the elite fighters like Katakuri and Luffy have truly mastered it. So far, Sanji has pushed through solely with his insane speed, stealth, and Observation Haki. If the popular manga's latest chapter is any indication, One Piece character Chopper's abilities are set to increase in a big way. Scopper Gaban reveals conqueror's haki—and it's a clue for Sanji's path The Pirate King's left-hand man mirrors Sanji's growth In Chapter 1149, Scopper Gaban – one of Gol D. Roger's closest crewmates – displays enough Conqueror's Haki to radiate across an entire island, proving without a doubt that he's one of the most powerful warriors in the series. He uses it to convincingly defeat Sommers and destroy the Holy Knights' forces, while indicating he has Future Sight level Observation Haki (Future Sight). Why does this matter? There's an active contingent of One Piece fandom that insists Gaban is the left-hand man of Roger, the 'Sanji' if you will, as Zoro parallels Rayleigh on the right. If that theory is accurate, then Sanji is well on his way to acquiring both Conqueror's Haki and Future Sight, just like Gaban. This is the clearest evidence so far that Sanji's power-up is more than fans' wishes coming to life. It's in the development of the canon itself. Sanji's power-up: Why conqueror's haki makes sense for his character The cook of the Straw Hats is more than comic relief—he's royalty with the will of a king Sanji's backstory has strongly implied that he is not what he seems. He's a prince of the evil Germa 66 family, but turned his back on their brutality and decided to live according to his own ideals. That same spirit of rebellion and independence? It's the very same quality needed to even awaken Conqueror's Haki. During the recent Wano arc, we saw Sanji pull the trigger on his genetic enhancements. Now, at a point where the world is plunging into chaos and the Straw Hats are fighting against the Celestial Dragons and Imu, it would fit the narrative as beautifully as an Oda panel that Sanji will awaken both Conqueror's Haki and advanced Observation Haki. When does One Piece chapter 1150 release? Fans anxiously awaiting to find out what happens next won't have to wait too long to enjoy One Piece Chapter 1150, which officially releases at the following times: June 1, 2025 (Global) May 31, 2025 (US/UK timezones on Manga Plus early) Read online for free on Manga Plus Sanji's time is almost here With Elbaf being raided and the Holy Knights making the headlines, One Piece is undoubtedly preparing for its final war. If this arc plays out like the Pirate King's adventure, then Sanji's awakening isn't just on the way. It's fated. It's the kind of thing that fans should be on the lookout for, as even bigger moments await in these next six chapters. For Sanji fans, this is the most thrilling development in years.
