The character Imu holds a significant role in the Final Saga of One Piece, which author Oda has eagerly anticipated drawing for years. With meticulous planning, Oda aims to do justice to the characters saved for this concluding saga, including Imu, who was recently introduced. Fans eagerly await further exploration of Imu's powers, and One Piece chapter 1085 provided some confirmation that Imu is a Devil Fruit user, though the extent of their abilities remains unclear.
Imu's Power
Cobra's attendance with the Five Elders in One Piece chapter 1084 prompted him to inquire about the former monarchs of the Nefertari Family and the people of the D. Specifically, Cobra asked about Nefertari Lily, who had ruled the land of Arabasta 800 years ago but did not join the founding families of the World Government and tragically never returned to Arabasta. Imu's sudden appearance upon hearing Lily's name stunned both Cobra and the Five Elders. Imu revealed that Lily was a member of the D. Family and attacked Cobra, leading Sabo to intervene. The surprising transformation of Imu into a unique beast confirmed his possession of Devil Fruit powers.
Imu's Potential Devil Fruits
Imy's power source in One Piece is a Devil Fruit ability, which is the most common source of power in the series. Fans did not get to see Imy's appearance, but based on their ability to swallow Sabo's fire in chapter 1085, it can be speculated that Imy is a user of a Zoan Devil Fruit. When Imy transformed into a giant creature, they had rugged teeth and a massive head. Imy easily swallowed Sabo's fire and later killed Cobra with a loud roar, who was trying to deliver a message to Vivi and Luffy.
Fans were quick to speculate about Imu's powers after witnessing a display of their abilities. It is evident that Imu is a user of a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, as they transformed into a gigantic creature that covered the Empty Throne and its pathway. It wouldn't be surprising if Imu's ability was directly parallel to Luffy's, who is also a user of a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. However, the intriguing part is identifying which fruit Imu possesses, and there are many possibilities that fans can argue for. Imu's ability is likely to contrast Luffy's, who is known as the Warrior of Liberation, spreading joy, laughter, and freedom wherever he goes. It is possible that Imu could possess the ability of the Devil itself, as they have enslaved the world. Within the world of One Piece, the concept of the Sea Devil is intriguing, with many believing that Devil Fruits are incarnations of the Sea Devil. Once consumed, the sea ends up hating the user, which is why they sink.
Imu's potential as a Devil Fruit user extends beyond just the Sea Devil powers. It's possible that they possess a Devil Fruit that grants them ultimate control over all Devil Fruit abilities, which would explain why Sabo's fire didn't work against them. Additionally, Imu's use of the pronoun "Mu" suggests a connection to the concept of infinity and nothingness, which could tie into their involvement in the mysterious Void Century.
Imu's reign of power is marked by the erasure of whole kingdoms and the creation of voids, big and small, as if nothing ever existed in those places. The God Valley Incident and the removal of the Lulusia Kingdom are two such examples that showcase Imu's godly powers. Imu could very well be the God of the Void, and their Devil Fruit could be their source of godly strength. But unlike Luffy's Nika fruit, which brings freedom and joy, Imu's powers would only bring chaos and destruction to the world.
However, while Imu's powers are shrouded in mystery, one thing that is certain is their possession of a weapon of mass destruction - the same weapon that was used to erase the Lulusia Kingdom. This weapon is believed to be the Ancient Weapon Uranus, which has the power to control the sky. As Oda continues to develop Imu's character, fans can only speculate about the extent of their power and the impact they'll have on the world of One Piece. Regardless, Imu is undoubtedly a formidable force that cannot be ignored.
