One Piece’s Elbaf arc has proven to be a bag of surprises for the fans, as Oda keeps on dropping one shocking event after another.

Oda sheds some light on Brook's secret connection to Gunko in One Piece chapter 1149.
The Strong Female Characters Of One Piece
- Big Mom and Boa Hancock Are The Strongest Fighters
- Shirahoshi Holds The Strongest Ability
When it comes to strong One Piece women, there is absolutely no shortage in the story so far. Oda has already had a woman be a part of the Four Emperors in Big Mom, and another be considered as a powerful Warlord of the Sea, in Boa Hancock. Both of these women are incredibly powerful. Big Mom ruled as one of the mightiest in the world, thanks to her incredible Devil Fruit and monstrous Haki.

Meanwhile, Hancock is no pushover either, having one of the most Overpowered Devil Fruit abilities, on top of having excellent Haki of all three types.
There is also Shirahoshi to consider, who is an Ancient Weapon. While she can't fight traditionally, she holds tremendous power and can destroy the whole world. So far, these three women stand out the most to the fans in One Piece, but Oda is poised to introduce more such female characters with tremendous strength. In fact, In Elbaf, Oda has introduced the strongest female character in all of One Piece, and it is none other than Gunko, one of the Holy Knights, with a special tweak.

Imu finally makes a move in One Piece. Fans get a glimpse at Imu's insanely powerful haki.

Gunko Is Being Controlled By Imu
It goes without saying that Gunko is incredibly strong. On her own, she was strong enough to partner Shamrock Figarland. In fact, Shamrock even claimed that Gunko was strong enough to even beat Loki without his chains. As such, Gunko was already in the conversations for being one of the most overpowered characters in One Piece. However, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Mu will show thee the dominion of Gods! — Imu
In One Piece chapter 1149, Oda made a shocking decision when he had Gunko get used as a vessel for Imu. Now, Imu is officially using Gunko's body to channel their own power, which means that the current Gunko Imu mix is the strongest female character in all of One Piece, stronger than even Big Mom. This was something we predicted at TheBestWarGames over a month ago, and it seems Oda is following the same route we expected.
Gunko Imu Is A Monster
So far, fans don't know what the limit of Gunko Imu's power is. What can be said is that Gunko, in her current form, is stronger than anyone on Elbaf. Luffy shouldn't be able to beat her either. Her strength is monstrous, and fans will definitely see the Straw Hat Pirates on the receiving end of some heavy beating as the Elbaf arc continues.
