Sommers Asks Gunko What Her Biggest Fear Is
Gunko’s Biggest Fear is Nika
The Holy Knights are the biggest group of antagonists currently in action in One Piece. The Holy Knights are the best of the best when it comes to the power of the Celestial Dragons following the Five Elders, and for now, fans know of a few members, notably Shamrock, Gunko, Sommers, and Killingham. All of these characters are intriguing in their own way, but recently, one of them was revealed to have a Devil Fruit that allows them to make fears into reality. That someone is Saint Sommers.
Saint Sommers turns the fears of the children of Elbaf into reality. The potential of such a Devil Fruit is definitely very overpowered. In the most recent chapter of One Piece, Saint Sommers actually asks one of his companions, Gunko, what her biggest fear is. She reveals her biggest fear is Nika.
As fans know by now, Luffy is basically Nika, as he awakened the Nika Devil Fruit. Nika is the Sun God that brings freedom, and perhaps the biggest threat to the evil of the One Piece world.
What’s your deepest fear, Gunko? — Sommers
Gunko is a very powerful character. While it’s not exactly confirmed how strong the Holy Knights are, one can assume they are, at the very least, over Yonko First Commander level. Gunko, especially, should be very strong, as she seems to act as Shamrock’s right hand and accompanies him.
For her to be terrified of Nika, in other words, Luffy, just goes to show just how strong Luffy has become. Just a few arcs ago, he was outclassed by most Yonko Commanders, and now, he is a Yonko, only growing stronger with time. The name Nika itself should definitely strike fear in the Celestial Dragons, especially as Luffy is bound to take down the World Government, stripping them of all power.
The Holy Knights And Their Power
For such strong people to be scared of Luffy is definitely something. Gunko, the one who states her fear of Nika, has the arrow devil fruit. Fans haven’t seen her go all out yet, but from what was shown, she’s definitely a powerhouse. The current strongest Holy Knight is definitely Shamrock, the twin brother of Shanks, whose sword has consumed the Cerberus Devil Fruit. Besides Sommers, who has some unknown devil fruit, there is Saint Killingham, who has what seems to be a Kirin devil fruit.
