Speculations Gunko loves Brook?

We learned that Gunko is 80 years old.
Brook is 90 years old.

That's an age gap of 10 years. Gunko listens to Brook's music and walks around in panties because Gunko probably knows Brook likes panties.

Sommers mentions that Gunko doesn't know what love is.

women desire serial killers, gunko will become caribou's gf, brook is a betabux

Probably more like a big brother thing. Since Gunkos dad was basically family to Brook as his benefactor

Bruh she was kid when brook was playing alongside her.

Yes, waiting for their wedding scenes

she was a kid while brook was a knight. So no. it's most likely love like goofy loves shank or nami loves genzo etc.

Also, this flashback scene implies Brook saved her after her father died. But latest chapter, Brook says she killed her father who was Brook's benefactor. How does that work?

I think you might be misunderstanding the timeline, I mean I don’t think those panels are in chronological order. The panel of her crying about her dad is probably 15-20 years after the panel of her and Brook together.
Unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re trying to get at.

i guess

but i don't think it's romantic love. it's platonic

No, Brook was the royal guard who watched over Gunko as a child, just as Pell watched over Vivi as a child
I don't think there's a romantic relationship between them, It's like Vivi was dating Pell
By the way, Gunko's father and Brook's benefactor is Louis Arnote

I completely agree on that, otherwise it’d extremely creepy & problematic considering their obvious age difference in that second panel. Brook is a bit of a creep with him constantly asking to see panties, but I don’t see him as a predator. Just a harmless pervy older man.
