Controversial Will Gunko be an innocent victim?

[FlyFlower]

We know that Brook and Gunko know each other and will soon have their flashbacks.

She participated in the genocide tournament in God Valley and was even Garling's rival in the massacre.
She kidnaps giant children and blackmails Elbaf

We learn from the second level of the Covenant that one cannot refuse Imu's orders and will be forced to do them by Imu.

Does someone like Gunko deserve redemption? Just because she and Brook have a connection?

 

[Yoho]

A Victim? Yeah sure

Innocent? Nah

 

[zCoconut]

It's Oda, so yes

 

[Rumble]

A victim isn't necessarily innocent.

 

[AER15]

This is One Piece, a lot of Luffy's allies are evil as fuck. Just look at Bon Clay

 

[Flower]

If she was completely brainwashed during all this, then yes she does. We‘re not blaming DR Xebec for anything he did either, or the DR giants. And it seems like Imu took complete control of her.

A victim isn't necessarily innocent.

If you’re forced to commit those atrocities because somebody else has control of you, you are in fact innocent as you neither wanted it nor did you yourself do any of that. It‘s like Doffy and King Riku. Just worse because her mind was also taken over.

 

[milluki]

she will be like miss goldenweek and monet

 

[Higuma]

I hope that when we see Gunko’s flashback, she won’t turn out to be a perfectly nice girl who just got manipulated,
that would be way too predictable.
It’d be much better if she were half good, half bad, and if she knowingly chose to join the Holy Knights, fully aware of what the government was doing.
Then later on, she gets manipulated by Imu and forced to obey orders, but with a point in time where she genuinely agreed with what she was doing.
Otherwise, I honestly hope she either dies or ages massively once she comes back to her senses.
It wouldn’t make any sense for her to survive if Imu takes her powers away, especially since she’s supposed to be extremely old.

 

[Buusatan94]

She most likely will, Oda's Modus Operandi is very well-known and predictable by this point.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

She’s innocent and when she loses her contract she’ll become the older woman that Jarul is into

 

[Welkin]

Not sure if she'll be innocent but it won't really matter honestly

Throughout all of One Piece a character at one point being evil becomes completely irrelevant if they chill out in the present or align with Luffy

Just look at Crocodile, Bon Clay, or even Hachi

OP characters are very quick to forgive and forget

 

[Halyup]

She’s innocent and when she loses her contract she’ll become the older woman that Jarul is into

The older woman is Imu
thats jaruls ideal

 

[Johnny B. Decent]

So, Gunko was like a handmaiden or something to Imu 56 years ago when Xebec confronted them. Then, 38 years ago, at God Valley, she had recently became a Devoted Blade. But at the Reverie and God Valley, she looks exactly the same now. Presuming she was given her Covenant as young as 16 or so, she would have to be at least 72.

But why would Imu give an Abyss Covenant, or at least a special, unique Depths, to some girl from a random island in the West Blue?

 

[D. Plant]

Yes she is a victim.

Whether if she is innocent or not, she herself will think she is not, but in other people perspective, she is innocent.

 

[Dragon777]

Probably.
