ONE PIECE - Saint Gunko - Figure Maximatic 16cm

This Banpresto figurine depicts Saint Manmayer Gunko, a member of the Divine Knights who appeared during the Elbaf arc of One Piece. Part of the MAXIMATIC collection, it officially measures approximately 23 cm and depicts the character in one of her most spectacular forms, with a demonic silhouette dominated by large, outstretched wings. 

Gunko is depicted standing with her long turquoise-blue hair and her form-fitting black outfit with gold buttons. Her dark outfit is complemented by high boots, whilst her face retains the character’s distinctive features around her eyes and forehead. The contrast between her light hair and her almost entirely black uniform makes her silhouette stand out immediately.

The most striking feature of this version is the immense dark wings with deep red membranes spread out behind her. Gunko also holds a long black weapon ending in three points, reminiscent of the magical spear she uses during the events in Elbaf. A pointed tail completes this transformation and further emphasises her supernatural appearance.

Origin and character lore

Saint Manmayer Gunko is a World Noble from the Manmayer family and a member of the Divine Knights, an organisation directly linked to the highest echelons of the World Government. Her official One Piece profile also confirms that she possesses the Aro Aro no Mi, or Arrow-Arrow Fruit, which makes her an ‘arrow woman’ capable of freely creating and manipulating arrows.

She arrives in Elbaf alongside Saint Figarland Shamrock, commander of the Divine Knights. Their initial aim is to persuade Loki, Prince of Elbaf, to join their organisation. Following his refusal, Gunko takes part in the operation designed to bring the giants under the control of the World Government. Her powers from the Aro Aro no Mi enable her, in particular, to generate and manipulate arrow-shaped trajectories, whilst her status as a Divine Knight also grants her a regenerative ability that is particularly difficult to counter.

During the ensuing events, Gunko takes children from Elbaf hostage and, in particular, confronts Scopper Gaban. As memories of her childhood and of Brook suddenly flood back, her body begins to transform. Imu then takes direct possession of her and unleashes considerable power through her body.

Under this influence, Gunko grows large black wings and wields a magical spear, whilst Imu unleashes the power known as Domi Reversi to transform the giant warriors into demonic creatures. It is this spectacular appearance, directly linked to one of the key moments of the Elbaf arc, that is captured in Banpresto’s MAXIMATIC figurine.
