One Piece: Oda Finally Reveals The Strongest Alliance Of All Time

This article contains spoilers for the One Piece series.

After a month-long delay due to unforeseen issues, fans were thrilled to see new chapters of One Piece released. The manga is currently exploring the Elbaf arc with a flashback focusing on Loki, and this part of the story has been consistently amazing since it began.

Fans are especially captivated by the ongoing God Valley Incident, a story years in the making. This flashback has revealed fascinating backstory and incredible battles. Now, it’s reached its climax with the appearance of Imu. Imu is so powerful that it took the combined forces of the strongest pirates and marines – including Rocks D. Xebec, Kaido, Big Mom, Whitebeard, Roger, and Garp – to confront him. Despite this unprecedented alliance, their attack had no effect on the world’s hidden ruler.

Rocks D. Xebec, Kaido, Big Mom, Whitebeard, Roger, and Garp Form The Strongest Alliance Ever Seen

  • An Alliance Was Formed to Land an Attack on Imu
  • The Combined Attack Was Unsuccessful

For years, fans have eagerly awaited the story of the God Valley Incident in the manga, and Oda has finally delivered. While many initially predicted Rocks D. Xebec or the Holy Knights would be the primary antagonists, the truth is much more complex. It turns out Imu, the hidden ruler of the world, is the true villain of God Valley. Imu wields immense power, channeling it through Saturn, and is clearly the strongest being on the island. In fact, Imu is so powerful that the strongest alliance ever assembled has formed with the sole purpose of defeating them.

In One Piece chapter 1163, Rocks D. Xebec launched an assault on Imu, bringing along powerful allies like Big Mom, Whitebeard, and Kaido. Oda then surprisingly added Roger and Garp to the attacking force. This group consisted of incredibly strong characters – all at the level of the Yonko, with some even more powerful. However, despite their combined strength, the attack failed to harm Imu. This strongly suggests that Imu is the ultimate villain of One Piece and is far beyond the capabilities of any single opponent.

Fans Won’t See A Stronger Alliance Until The Final War

Luffy and His Allies Will Form A Far Superior Alliance

Imu is incredibly powerful – even a team-up of six of One Piece’s strongest fighters couldn’t harm him. This makes Luffy’s final battle very daunting, as Imu must be defeated before the story ends. While the current strongest potential alliance includes Rocks D. Xebec, Kaido, Big Mom, Whitebeard, Roger, and Garp, Luffy will likely assemble an even more powerful group for the final war. Hints in the Elbaf mural suggest Luffy will gain extremely strong allies, such as Shirahoshi, Loki, Hancock, and possibly even Blackbeard. Whatever team Oda creates will be stronger than anything we’ve seen so far, including the alliance shown in chapter 1163.

I’m looking forward to One Piece Chapter 1162, which is scheduled to be released next week, as usual on a Sunday. While it technically drops in Japan at midnight JST on Monday, most of us internationally will be able to read it on November 2nd. The good news is it will be available for free on Manga Plus, so fans won’t have to worry about paying to read it.
