Gunko felt pain after Brook hit
IN One piece Chapter 1147, ODA showed fans a very interesting exchange. As it was clear, Gunku managed to capture all the straw hats that were in the muscle chapter, and when they lost, Gunko began to require. Specifically, her demand was for anyone other than the soul of King Brook.

Gunko wanted Brook to be her personal music slave to which Brook answered with a clear refusal. A moment ago, however, Brook was shocked when he realized it wasn't the first time he saw Gunko. Brook has already seen Gunko and he knows her.
At the same time, Gunko, who approached a kick of the stream, also felt pain in her heart, which is probably because of the fact that he is a fan of Brook and really does not want to hurt him.

Brook was in the battle convoy of the kingdom
Many fans seem to think that Brook knows Gunko at one of the concerts he held during Timeckip, but that's not the case. Brook's real past holds the key to the connection between him and the gunek. As Brook himself revealed, he was born 90 years ago and at some point he gained a formal education and then continued his combat convoy of a kingdom. Fans do not know what this kingdom is, but it is clear that Brook has held a very important position here.

How Brook saw the gunko
Since the stream was in the official army, it is not a section to say that he could accompany the king of his country to the holy country Marijoa to marry, long ago. There the stream probably learned about the existence of the holy knights and at the same time managed to see the Gunko.
Now fans know that Brook joined Rumbar Pirates 52 years ago, which means that his visit to Marijoa was most likely 54 years ago when dreaming was held. 54 years ago, Brook had to meet Gunek and still looks the same to this day. This is basically a way of ODA to show the fans that Gunko is immortal and has not aged ever since. At the same time, Brook and Gunko could even interact 54 years ago, and Gunko might have created a connection with Brook. ODA will definitely emphasize the connection between Brook and Gunko even further in the upcoming chapters of one piece.
