by

This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.

Summary

  • Imu reveals the Holy Land is in flames, signaling immense power.
  • Imu’s strength surpasses even the Yonko and Five Elders.
  • Despite limitations in Gunko’s body, Imu is set to dominate in Elbaf.

At present, the narrative of “One Piece” is unfolding in the Elbaf saga, and it’s fair to say that this particular storyline is shaping up quite remarkably well. Among all the chapters in “One Piece”, Elbaf is turning out to be one of the most thrilling story arcs, with a strong chance of becoming the best arc throughout the series. Already, Oda has dropped some truly monumental revelations within the Elbaf saga of “One Piece”.

Not only are new formidable antagonists appearing in this storyline, but it’s also worth noting that the most powerful villain yet, Imu, has entered the scene from the world of One Piece. As we saw in the last chapter, Imu, the ruler of this world, is now present and seems determined to confront Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates as the primary adversary in this arc.

Oda Just Introduced Imu In Elbaf

  • Imu Revealed The Holy Land Is In Flames
  • Imu is Elbaf’s Main Villain

The latest chapter 1149 of One Piece has been released, and as we predicted a month ago, it appears that Imu will indeed be the main antagonist in the Elbaf arc. In the previous chapter, it was revealed that Imu had been speaking through Gunko and eventually took control of her body. Imu then declared that the Holy Land is currently ablaze, which explains their need for increased military strength. This revelation suggests that Imu’s goal in Elbaf is to expedite the process of controlling the Elbaf Giants and turning them into warrior slaves for the country. This development is significant and sets the stage for a thrilling conclusion to the arc.

Mu will show thee the dominance of a God! — Imu

According to Imu, the purpose is to reveal the supremacy of a deity, and fans are eagerly anticipating the developments unfolding in the upcoming story chapters. It’s indisputable that Imu plays the role of the main antagonist in this arc. Similar to Oda, it’s common for the primary villains to be more powerful than their predecessors. Kaido was the last major adversary that Luffy encountered, and now, it seems that Imu will be next. This suggests that Imu is currently the most powerful character in the One Piece universe.

Why Imu Is Stronger Than The Yonko And Five Elders

Imu Rules Over The Five Elders As A God

Initially, fans presumed that Imu was weak and not a combatant, but this assumption was proven wrong in One Piece chapter 1085 when his abilities were revealed. It’s now clear to everyone that Imu is incredibly powerful, a fact further confirmed in chapter 1149 where it was stated that he possesses godly strength. Currently, Imu is residing in Elbaf, and soon, fans will witness him demonstrating his divine authority over others. In essence, Imu is exceptionally strong.

What light shall we erase from the world this time, Imu Sama? — Five Elders

It’s common knowledge among fans that the Five Elders possess monstrous abilities. In fact, Oda has explicitly shown their Haki to be similar in power to Shanks’. If Imu can overpower someone with Haki comparable to Shanks’, then it’s undeniable that Imu is the strongest character in the world, a fact that speaks for itself.

How Strong Will Gunko Imu Be?

Although it’s clear that Imu holds immense power, viewers must bear in mind that at present, Imu inhabits Gunko’s body. This implies that Imu cannot utilize their own Devil Fruit ability and might be constrained in the amount of power they can exert through Gunko’s physical form. Essentially, the display of power from Imu in Elbaf may not reflect their full potential, a fact fans are already aware of. Therefore, fans should refrain from judging Imu’s might solely based on their actions during the Elbaf arc, as it is likely that their strength transcends these events.

Next week, we’ll get our hands on One Piece Chapter 1150. As per the regular schedule, it will be published on Sunday. In Japan, the chapter is released at 12AM JST on Monday. But most international readers can expect to read it on May 11. The official release date for One Piece Chapter 1150 is set for June 1, 2025. Excitingly, fans can access and read the chapter for free on Manga Plus!
