One Piece: Imu's Next Shocking Move In Elbaf, Explained

As a long-time One Piece fan and aficionado of all things related to the Grand Line, I can’t help but feel a chill run down my spine when I ponder upon the current predicament facing Elbaf. The island of giants, a beacon of hope and unity in this chaotic world, now stands on the precipice of destruction at the hands of none other than Imu, the man who orchestrated the Void Century and the puppet master pulling the strings behind the World Government.


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

Key Takeaways

  • Imu destroyed Lulusia using Uranus, impacting the entire world of One Piece.
  • Imu plans to create Motherflame for Uranus after events at Egghead Island.
  • Elbaf is at risk as Imu may target it next to eliminate Joy Boy and prevent a confrontation.

The narrative of the Elbaf Arc within the popular series “One Piece” is progressing steadily, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what the Straw Hat Pirates will do next on their journey for the One Piece. With each new chapter, this tale continues to grow more intriguing, and fans can hardly contain their excitement over how Luffy’s escapades in the Land of Giants might influence the overall plotline. However, it’s essential to recall that Luffy isn’t the sole character shaping events at the moment; there are other significant figures playing crucial roles as well.

In One Piece, the world is experiencing unprecedented turmoil, with numerous characters vying for prestige at present. Simultaneously, the World Government, known to followers for planning major wars and potentially a great purge, is readying itself. Behind the scenes, Imu, the ruler of the world, represents the World Government’s interests, even though they may not directly participate in this story arc. However, fans anticipate that the World Government will indirectly influence events here, as they have in previous arcs of the narrative.

How Imu Destroyed Lulusia And Attacked Egghead

Inu Utilized The Power Of Uranus To Destroy Lulusia

Since the ending of the Wano Country Saga, Imu has become increasingly involved in the narrative. He is undeniably the most captivating antagonist at present. As each new arc unfolds, readers learn more about him, and following Wano, his immense power was alluded to for the first time. Using an ancient artifact, Imu annihilated Lulusia island, leaving nothing but rubble behind in mere seconds. This catastrophic event resulted in countless casualties and had far-reaching consequences for the world of One Piece. The sea levels worldwide started rising dramatically, submerging large parts of the One Piece world within a few days. It was confirmed that the water level had risen by 1 meter, which inundated many low-lying areas completely, while others were severely affected as well.

Lulusia never existed! – Imu

This marked the initial phase of Imu’s endeavor to dominate the globe. Subsequently, Imu dispatched both the Marines and an Elder to Egghead Island, with the objective being Vegapunk’s elimination. Vegapunk, who had begun studying the Poneglyphs, was seen as a potential threat to Imu’s secrecy regarding the Void Century. Consequently, his demise was orchestrated by Imu. Intriguingly, Luffy and the Strawhat Pirates were involved in the ensuing conflict, effectively thwarting Imu’s schemes, albeit partially. Despite Vegapunk’s death, Lilith, a satellite, miraculously endured, as did Edison, who managed to seize Punk Records. The World Government’s mission was not fully achieved, and matters worsened further. However, the events on Egghead Island provided the Government with a glimmer of hope, which will now significantly influence Imu’s future plans and their potential impact on the world as a whole.

To understand Imu’s future strategies following the Egghead Island Arc, fans should focus on two key aspects. Firstly, the Revolutionary Army’s attack on Marijoa. The immediate action any governing body would take is to lift the siege imposed by the Revolutionary Army. Since this task primarily involves military engagement, Imu doesn’t necessarily need to get involved. Instead, he can instruct his Supreme Commander of the God’s Knights to lead the fight against the Revolutionary Army, which does not require Imu’s direct intervention.

Saturn, why did you let Joy Boy escape? – Imu

In his anger towards Saturn for permitting Joy Boy to flee, Imu annihilated him severely, taking away his immortality. With Saturn’s demise, a fresh Elder was chosen. Naturally, Joy Boy remained a significant menace in Imu’s mind, which is why he wants Luffy eliminated.

In light of recent developments, viewers might be curious about how these events tie into Egghead Island’s past happenings. Here’s the simple explanation: After the occurrences on Egghead Island, York chose to align with the World Government. This alliance grants the government control over Vegapunk’s intellect and genius. Moreover, capturing York also ensured that they could continue producing the Motherflame, a process that may take weeks or months to complete. It’s worth noting that they already had a Motherflame stored in a power plant before. This Motherflame can be used to boost the ancient weapon Uranus, which is currently owned by Imu. Therefore, Imu now has the potential to cause even more devastation to the world, with no apparent obstacles this time around.

Previously, Imu halted at Lulusia due to the depletion of the Motherflame, leaving them with just a fragment for the old weapon. Now, they possess the complete Motherflame, implying that the ancient weapon Uranus may be activated repeatedly. All Imu needs to determine is the location of their target.

Is Elbaf In Danger?

The Island Of Elbaf Could Be Sunk By Imu

Considering the ongoing storyline in “One Piece”, it’s apparent that Elbah is under a significant threat. The globe is aware that Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates are bound for that location. The Marines have made their intentions clear, with Luffy’s destination being Elbah. Even Saturn appears to be privy to this information. Given Saturn’s knowledge, it’s reasonable to assume that Imu also knows about it. If Imu has Luffy’s whereabouts, there’s nothing preventing them from dispatching Uranus to Elbah. The potential outcome is devastating: Uranus could attempt to obliterate Elbah entirely, erasing it from existence.

The objective here is to eliminate Joy Boy, as we fear another run-in with him might escalate into another conflict, much like the Void Century. This seems precarious and requires more than just brute strength from Luffy to navigate through it.

From my perspective as a die-hard fan, I can’t predict exactly how Luffy and the Straw Hats will tackle this situation at the moment. However, it seems likely that Vivi might play a significant role in this unfolding storyline. Many fans might find this perplexing, but Vivi has a mysterious tie to an ancient weapon, as hinted by Oda himself. It’s intriguing to note that Imu appears to be pursuing Vivi for some reason. If I were to speculate, her powers could share striking similarities with Momonosuke’s and Shirahoshi’s, three characters Oda has emphasized in the series. These three characters may hold keys to ancient weapons, and perhaps only through Vivi’s latent abilities, yet unawakened, can Elbaf be saved.

You can access One Piece, the popular series, through Viz Media. Fans are able to read it officially and at no cost on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The next chapter of One Piece, One Piece 1127, is scheduled for release on September 22, 2024.
