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

Summary

  • The Abyss is a summoning circle tied to certain powers wielded by Holy Knights.
  • The Abyss Mark is essential for summoning individuals instantaneously.
  • Imu is likely the source of the Abyss power, sharing abilities with others, including immortality.

Chapter 1141 of One Piece unveiled numerous intriguing characters and plots, keeping fans on their toes. The Holy Knights have been increasingly integrated into the story, creating anticipation for their future roles. This integration also sheds light on their extraordinary abilities.

In One Piece Chapter 1141, there was significant emphasis on a powerful artifact called the Abyss Summoning Circle, which was initially showcased in the Egghead Island Arc. The Five Elders previously demonstrated its power, and recently, it has been observed being utilized by the Holy Knights in Elbaf. While the specific workings of this ability remain unclear, the last chapter offered a wealth of additional details about it, with further insights expected as the Elbaf story arc unfolds with increasing intensity.

What Is The Abyss Summoning Circle?

  • Can Be Utilized By A Select Few

The Abyss Circle made its debut in the story during the Egghead Island Arc of One Piece. At that time, Saint Saturn was revealed as the first wielder of this power, and he utilized it differently than the Holy Knights do. Instead of an Abyss existing on Egghead Island before Saturn’s appearance, he summoned himself there. This event caused considerable chaos, and eventually, Saturn used the Abyss to bring four other Elders to Elbaf, causing significant problems for the people of Egghead.

In essence, the Abyss Circle serves as a summoning portal. It features a pentagram design and can be used to quickly transport specific individuals to virtually any location. For example, when Saturn employed the Abyss, the other Elders appeared in Elbaf almost instantaneously, despite Marijoa being far from the island. In summary, the Abyss is essentially a gateway for summoning certain people.

From my perspective as an observer, it seems that even the formidable Abyss isn’t indestructible. While it exhibits immense power, instances have shown it can be breached. This was demonstrated during the Egghead Island arc in One Piece, where Joyboy’s Haki effectively nullified Saint Saturn’s Abyss, sending all Elders back to Marijoa.

Applying this logic to the Abyss in Elbaf, it could be speculated that the Abyss might indeed be a Devil Fruit ability. This is because, as we’ve seen in One Piece, Haki has the capacity to counteract other Devil Fruit abilities when used in great quantities. For instance, Law was unable to move Kaido and Big Mom on a rooftop, and he canceled Doc Q’s ability during the Egghead arc.

To use the Abyss, a distinctive symbol or sign must be present on an individual’s physical form. This implies that there exists someone who imposes this mark upon those who allow the Abyss to be placed on their bodies. People bearing the Abyss Mark can be swiftly transported to any location, often without them fully comprehending the circumstances surrounding their transportation.

The Abyss Mark And Its Connection To Imu

Imu Could Be The Wielder Of The Abyss

It’s clear that the Abyss has an origin, given it’s a power that can be harnessed only by those bearing a specific symbol, as demonstrated in One Piece chapter 1140. The sole individual capable of bestowing such powers upon others is Imu. This revelation might not shock anyone. After all, Imu possesses the ability to transfer their power to others. For instance, Imu himself enjoys immortality, and it’s plausible that this longevity has been shared with the other Elders, explaining their eternal lives. This theory is further supported by the incident at the end of the Egghead Island Arc, where Imu took away Saturn’s powers, resulting in his death.

It appears that Imu possesses a similar ability to the Aro Aro no Mi, as demonstrated by their use of this power to kill Cobra and wound Sabo during the Reverie. This power also seems to be associated with Gunko now. Shamrock’s sword holds the power of Cerberus, much like the Yokai of the Elders, suggesting that this power may originate from Imu as well. It seems that Imu has the ability to bestow powers upon others, and it is quite possible that the Abyss belongs to Imu, implying that the Holy Knights wield power that can be traced back to Imu directly.

In the world of One Piece, it adds another layer of intrigue as it suggests that the Holy Knights are cognizant of Imu’s presence. Initially, this revelation might take fans aback, but upon further reflection, it aligns with logic. It appears that the Holy Knights served as Imu’s personal contingent rather than the general Celestial Dragons. The Celestial Dragons have Cipher Pol at their disposal, so the Holy Knights likely represent a more clandestine and perilous faction controlled by both the Elders and Imu.

The Users Of The Abyss

The Holy Knights And The Five Elders Can Use The Abyss

Previously mentioned are the Five Elders who wield the power of the Abyss in “One Piece”. More recently, it was observed that the Holy Knights also utilized this power. However, there seems to be a minor distinction between these two groups. The Abyss summoned by the Five Elders bears numbers associated with each elder using the power; for example, Saturn’s Abyss had the number 5, aligning with his status as the fifth planet. On the other hand, when the Holy Knights use their Abyss magic circle, it doesn’t display any numbers and only shows a pentagram inside. Despite this difference in appearance, they seem to function similarly in terms of usability.

Apart from this, it seems that the Abyss may only be utilized by Saint Imu Nerona, a person who might have originated the method and is likely responsible for bestowing this power upon others by marking them with the symbol.

In the coming chapters of “One Piece,” fans can expect a deeper exploration of the Abyss and its powers, as the Holy Knights are currently playing a significant role in Elbaf’s storyline. To fully understand these plot developments, fans should be prepared to wait and see how Oda unfolds the story, particularly in this arc and further into the Final Saga.
