Uncovering the Enigma of Mariejois' Phantom Room and its Connection to King's Elusive Lineage

One Piece fans will recall King, Kaido's loyal right-hand man, who presented a formidable challenge to Zoro in Wano. He is the last surviving member of the nearly extinct Lunarian race from the Red Line, known for their fire-creating abilities. Identified by their large wings covered in black feathers, brown skin, silver-white hair, and a perpetual flame on their upper back.

There are numerous fan theories implying that Imu, the hidden ruler of the One Piece world, could potentially be a Lunarian who eradicated their race, with King as the sole survivor. While unconfirmed, a new theory suggests that Imu might be concealed in the Phantom Room, a place rightfully belonging to the Lunarians.

One Piece fan theorist, Typical Joe @3SkullJoe, has recently added to the extensive and intriguing body of fan theories. Their focus has been on the legendary Phantom Room, which pertains to a mysterious chamber in the Pangaea Castle at the Holy Land of Mariejois, the capital of the World Government.

Pangaea Castle serves as the World Government's main headquarters, where high-ranking officials such as the Five Elders carry out their duties. The Phantom Room is a closely guarded secret, known only to a select few. In One Piece chapter 1084, Sabo and Bonney overheard guards discussing the room and its connection to the unexplained disappearances of many guards.

There is speculation that Imu may have used Vegapunk's illusionary wall technology to create a perception filter, making the room effectively invisible. This technology was previously demonstrated on Egghead Island, highlighting its effectiveness.

The Phantom Room is believed to be the hidden chamber containing the giant straw hat, possibly once belonging to Joy Boy. There is speculation that Doflamingo was aware of this secret. While it is acknowledged that the Phantom Room may be linked to the underground chamber, a fan theory proposes that it could actually be the Chamber of Flowers. This chamber is described as a vibrant, plant-filled space adorned with grass, trees, and various flowers, including lilies and butterflies, and is believed to be a favorite retreat of Imu.

According to fan theories, Mariejois was once the home of the Lunarians, who revered the soil and plants as sacred. This cultural practice is also shared by other winged races, such as the Skypiea people.

This common admiration for nature implies that the Phantom Room, also known as the Chamber of Flowers, could have been originally built by the Lunarians and is now being used by Imu. The need to conceal this room may be connected to the Lunarians' history.

Additionally, the One Piece enthusiast suggests that the illusionary walls or perception filter that conceals the Phantom Room may briefly dissipate when Imu exits the room or when the moon reaches a specific phase in its cycle. Consequently, the room's existence is exposed, and any guards who witness it must be removed to preserve Imu's secrecy.

The secrets hidden in the Phantom Room by Imu have undoubtedly fascinated all One Piece fans. It may hold the answers to unraveling the mysteries of the Void Century, and Doflamingo could potentially be involved in unveiling them to the world.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I am intrigued by the theory that Imu, the enigmatic ruler of the One Piece world, could be a Lunarian and the last surviving member of the nearly extinct race. The idea that Imu may be hiding in the Phantom Room, a secret chamber in Mariejois, adds to the mystery surrounding this character.

The theory that the Phantom Room is actually the Chamber of Flowers, a vibrant, plant-filled space, is also fascinating. The connection between the Lunarians' reverence for nature and the Chamber of Flowers suggests that this room may have been originally built by the Lunarians and is now being used by Imu. The possibility that the illusionary walls concealing the Phantom Room may briefly dissipate when Imu exits the room or when the moon reaches a specific phase in its cycle adds to the intrigue.

Overall, this theory provides an exciting new perspective on the mysteries of the One Piece world and I am eager to see how it develops in future chapters.
