This article contains spoilers for the One Piece manga.

Summary

Luffy’s Devil Fruit, the Nika powers, is based on imagination & joy.
Imu’s powers are opposite to Luffy’s & involve enslavement & magic.
Imu’s powers are set to counter Luffy’s, leading to a potential intense battle.

In simpler terms, the Elbaf saga might be the best storyline since the timeskip (or even the best in the entire series). It’s packed with significant backstory, and it’s unveiled a mind-blowing power, which surprisingly belongs to the main villain of the series, Imu. Without a doubt, Imu’s power surpasses any expectations fans had. The creator, Oda, has grand designs for this arc, and he’s introduced a power that opposes Luffy’s Nika powers directly.

Luffy’s Nika Devil Fruit Is The Most Ridiculous In One Piece

Previously Known as the Gomu Gomu No Mi
The Hito Hito No Mi, Model: Nika

The popular series, “One Piece,” has chronicled the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy for nearly three decades. For most of this time, Luffy’s special power came from a Devil Fruit called the Gum-Gum Fruit (Gomu Gomu no Mi). However, when mechanical elements were introduced, fans started questioning this fruit’s nature. Their suspicions deepened, and during the Wano arc, it was confirmed that Luffy’s true abilities as Sun God Nika were unleashed, revealing the real name of the fruit – the Hito Hito No Mi, Model: Nika.

Nika’s abilities stem from a rich imagination; whatever Luffy dreams up becomes tangible reality. His presence spreads humor and happiness wherever he roams, earning him the title of the Liberator Warrior. This extraordinary ability is still largely untapped by Luffy. Though his Devil Fruit was believed to be the most potent in the series, Oda has unveiled a power that may neutralize it, and potentially outshine it as well.

Imu’s Powers Are The Opposite Of Luffy’s

Reading chapter 1150 of One Piece was nothing short of an exhilarating journey! In this instalment, the enigmatic ruler of the world, Imu, executed a strategic maneuver by seizing control over Holy Knight Gunko’s body. Even though it seems that Imu is restricted in their abilities while inhabiting Gunko’s body, their power remains remarkably potent.

In awe of my extraordinary abilities, I, the bearer, perform astonishing deeds that leave many in awe. Among these feats is the capacity to bind individuals into sinister pacts with me. This power isn’t selective; even the mightiest, such as Dorry and Brogy, aren’t immune. With this ability, I construct my own legion of slaves. The specifics of my powers remain somewhat elusive, but it appears that there are striking similarities between mine and Luffy’s abilities. It’s plausible that, like Luffy, I too can shape anything I envision into existence. However, while Luffy uses this power to set free the oppressed, I employ it to enslave. My powers extend to summoning mystical books to cast spells and raising slave armies. In my own words, I relish quelling any signs of defiance. Contrastingly, Luffy embodies the spirit of rebellion.

“MU WILL SHOW THEE THE DOMINION OF GODS.” — Imu In Gunko’s Body.

In this current storyline, it’s inevitable that Luffy and Imu will meet. Although Imu is limited due to using a vessel, their confrontation promises to be thrilling. For Luffy to outmatch Imu in the Grand Finale, he must discover ways to exceed his current power levels.
