Loki hybrid form Jesus u got high expectations?

[keen quiver]

I mean hybrid form is likely this fight

[dense rapids]

Tbh I’m not even saying Blackbeard will be final villain

[hot cairn]

cmon Caleb

[digital spear]

I hope we see it soon

[dense rapids]

I’m just saying Bb will absorb Imu

[keen quiver]

He needs something to bait a break

[sleek viper]

What i was looking for thanks chrissy

[dense rapids]

The final villain will be the first

[glacial bear]

Apparently that would be “ass”

[hot cairn]

boring

[graceful grove]

path of the story have been laid fairly clear for a long time. 2 main pirates going after OP (Luffy and BB). winner goes after their true goal which involves rest of the world so thats Imu since he is the king of it.

[pulsar timber]

It’s true though. I’m not saying as hate. It’s just true

[digital spear]

That was Alvida or the snake or Buggy

[glacial bear]

even though it’s been implied time & time again in the story that BB will be a foil to Imu

[pulsar timber]

I’m using my nooticing skills

[dense rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/jujutsushenanigans-gif-268789662027657491

[cunning jacinth]

and i'm saying that would be silly and anticlimactic. let Blackbeard be his own character instead of a replacement for Imu without all the things that make Imu interesting (800 years of lore and connections to the void century)

[trim lily]

captain morgan will be the final villain

[pulsar timber]

Imu and Blackbeard are not foils

[leaden rivet]

Absorbing Imu doesn’t suddenly make him Imu

[dense rapids]

Blackbeard is his own character

Imu is a stepping stone to get revenge for rocks and Davy

[digital spear]

Wait I wanted to say Morgan not Buggy idk why I skipped him

[pulsar timber]

Imu is not a stepping stone but an actual character

[cunning jacinth]

Imu isn't a stepping stone he's the reason why the One Piece world even exists as it does

[stone terrace]

How often is the final villain of a series even the best ask yourself that one 💀

[leaden rivet]

Imu being a stepping stone is a first lmao

[digital spear]

Can we just accept them all as characters

[keen quiver]

Imu is fated to lose to davy jones and joyboy

[hot cairn]

cant Imu be his own character too?

[keen quiver]

Idk how this is radical to say

[glacial bear]

Imu knows he’s getting cooked by both JoyBoy and Davy Jones

[stone terrace]

Its such an unnecessary thing to go crazy over

[trim lily]

nuh uh i have to root for my favourite team

[glacial bear]

Especially when there’s a promise to be fulfilled of Davy Jones

[hot cairn]

yeah like

[cunning jacinth]

sure but that could still happen after Blackbeard has had his own arc as the main villain

[leaden rivet]

Some characters are more equal than others

[ornate tartan]

the thing that’s interesting about blackbeard is how can he become an enemy to the entire world in the same way Imu is

If Oda goes this route he’ll have to make this work

[dense rapids]

Tell Imu to stop thinking about BB and Davy?

[hot cairn]

what thing

[keen quiver]

Teach isn't gonna sing koombaya and join hands with luffy

😭

[glacial bear]

AND THAT WAS THIS WEEK’S CHAPTER TOO 😭

[dense rapids]

Yall acting like we’re forcing the Imu and Teech connection 😭

[graceful grove]

that can still happen because Luffy don't need to kill BB and he can still crawl back to final war for a team up. thats also been hinted right? imus 2 biggest fear teaming up

[stone terrace]

Who the final villain is

[digital spear]

Genuinely can we just rest our arms and accept both characters and lead a healthy discussion about how the finale could actually play out

[dense rapids]

We were saying Imu and Teech were connected BEFORE GOD VALLEY

[pulsar timber]

He can’t become as bad as imu if that’s what you mean. Hes already a global threat and acknowledged as such

[hot cairn]

ah yeah I agree

[digital spear]

Rather than just leading gang wars

[dense rapids]

GOD VALLEY ONLY PROVED IT

[warm thunder]

socrates unbanned over this bb slobber anyday

[glacial bear]

Idk about allat.

[hot cairn]

please

[cunning jacinth]

im not saying they'd be friends i'm saying that if Teach wants Imu dead and Luffy wants to stop Imu from destroying the entire world via flood at any cost, they would have 0 choice but to team up. they don't have to like each other to recognize a common enemy

[keen quiver]

Nah Socrates was atrocious

[dense rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/el-sejajas-gif-21925555

[keen quiver]

Saying that is crazy work

[hot cairn]

this really doesn’t mean Imu can’t be his own character man cmon lol

[ornate tartan]

Blackbeard stated he wants to be Pirate King
Blackbeard is collecting Poneglyphs

Only one character in the series will end up claiming the one piece

the question is does that come soon or at the end of the series

[keen quiver]

Socrates legit thought loki was gonna replace luffy and become davy jones

😭

[cunning jacinth]

yes please

[dense rapids]

They are their own characters

They’re just connected with each other deeply

[glacial bear]

LMFAO

[warm thunder]

[graceful grove]

how do you see the future main events play out. i'm curious

[dense rapids]

“Loki king of the world”

[digital spear]

Yeah thats true I think we all can accept that

[dense rapids]

People don’t they think we’re forcing the connections

[ornate tartan]

“we can assume Loki wanted to be King of the World”😂

[dense rapids]

We’re not the ones ripping Bb bounty poster

[keen quiver]

The only people who are straight up in hell rn are dragon fans

Imu doesnt even have him on his radar

😭

[digital spear]

Yeah thats wild

[leaden rivet]

Imu is a stepping stone for Loki

[keen quiver]

Literally whitebeard a dead yonko

[hot cairn]

then you agree, Imu can be his own character

[cunning jacinth]

can we also agree that both Imu and Blackbeard are extremely important, and neither is a "stepping stone" for the other

[digital spear]

Loki absorbs Imu and becomes the real final villain

[keen quiver]

Was priority in his head

Over dragon

[ornate tartan]

the role of nidhogg in the past and his relevance to imu in particular i hope we find out within the next 5 chapters

[keen quiver]

Even when its known dragon saved luffy in logue town

[pulsar timber]

Dragon isn’t an incarnation of an ancient enemy so that’s his bad

[latent hamlet]

Trickster God after all

[ornate tartan]

imu was suprised to find nidhogg in elbaph

[graceful grove]

thats because the seige hasn't effected imus secret food storage. rest of maryjoes cuss Dragon every day when they wake up and have to eat anything but lobster

[leaden rivet]

Skill issue

[cunning jacinth]

ngl he still a baddie

[bold sonnet]

he got banned?

[gloomy tree]

months ago

[fallen meteor]

its been ages

[pulsar timber]

Oda don’t make his spots yellow please

[bold sonnet]

[dense haven]

imu doesn't need to eat so dragon can't hurt him

[cunning jacinth]

tbh Oda is obviously saving Dragon for a reason

[keen quiver]

Imu has a sick design

[ornate tartan]

what was nidhogg role in the past? why was he clashing with the sun god? god of war was a DF user i think so how ancient is nidhogg, and how old is Imu

[glass plume]

How funny.

[bold sonnet]

Damn. I haven't been active here in a while.

[latent hamlet]

Imu turns all the celestial dragons into demons

"They complain about food? Then they become demons and never have to worry about such a thing again"

[ornate tartan]

is Imu from the first or 2nd world lol

[glass plume]

Probably the first.

[cunning jacinth]

second i'd imagine, since he seems to have ptsd over Joyboy specifically

[hot cairn]

I think the second

[keen quiver]

Its just 2nd

[digital spear]

Hes one of the 20 so that makes me think 2nd

[keen quiver]

Which is void century

[hot cairn]

yea

[stone terrace]

Sounds like imu was from the first

[brittle basin]

If BB is the final villain, I'm OK with that.
If Imu is the final villain, I'm OK with that.
If neither is the final villain, I'm OK with that.
However, I think it's leaning towards BB at the moment.

[latent hamlet]

Once imu realizes he no longer needs to hide
He'll just demonize everything and thats the final war

[digital spear]

He has powers from the 1st world but was born in 2nd probably

so what is imu relationship with nidhogg then? was nidhogg involved in the 2nd world, I thought ragnir waited until Loki

The Creator is a tough name

[digital spear]

1. World: Nika, the devil
2. World: Joyboy, Imu

[cunning jacinth]

i love your attitude and same. i strongly believe it's Imu but i'd be fine with it being BB or even another character as long as it's written well and makes sense in the story

[glacial bear]

I’m fine with whichever as well. Just crazy how Imu bandwagoners just attack the idea of Teach reclaiming the throne.

final villain discussions get heavy

[glass plume]

Imu knowing about Nidhoggr implies that they were alive back when the god of war was still around, which we assume is the age of the first world with Nika.

[digital spear]

Be ready to die

[hot cairn]

feels like gangs over here LOL

[brittle basin]

I never noticed the Hot Topic bracelet.

Wakainu final villain

Katakuri and him shop at the same places

[hot cairn]

said no one ever

[glass plume]

He took them from Kaido.

[glacial bear]

@upper rose let him know

[trim lily]

have we considered greenbull could be the final villain

is this anything

[urban lodge]

My phone died so I lost all my Buggy saying he will be king of the world panel collection

[pulsar timber]

I gave up years ago

[glacial bear]

TRUE

[urban lodge]

I'm gonna have to collect them again

[digital spear]

Well Coby did say Luffys dream has to end...

[graceful grove]

https://tenor.com/view/discordian-joke-funny-discord-foe-nem-grave-gif-10707277431765227034

[brittle basin]

possibly a bandwagon effect, the internet can do that. I know for the longest time, this server has felt BB centric in terms of final villainy. But Imu's reveal is interesting and could change minds.

[ornate tartan]

I wonder if we still get princess shuri short flashback

[hot cairn]

valid

[urban lodge]

Short? If Oda is a shit writer

[cunning jacinth]

i just feel like a lot of BB fans just want Imu removed from the story so that the story focuses on what they want instead. i never really see people who expect Imu to be the final villain trying to remove Blackbeard from the story

[pulsar timber]

Imu bandwagoners lol

[digital spear]

Blackbeard to Luffy: zehahaha keep on dreaming lad
Coby to Luffy: I have to stop your dream, Luffy!
Whos the REAL final villain here

[hot cairn]

this server is 50/50 on who the final villain is ngl

at least the regulars from here

[brittle basin]

And it can change. I was once Imu, now I'm BB.

[trim lily]

the series will end with koby and tashigi defeating luffy and zoro’s dreams

[hot cairn]

cook

[digital spear]

cook

[pulsar timber]

I’m not sure where a gunko flashback fits but I’m sure we will get it. Actually I have an idea

[brittle basin]

But it always felt like a BB focus moreso than an Imu one on this server until this chapter.

[ornate tartan]

initially i thought it would be more in depth but it seems like gunko is kinda safe for now, just frozen, and brook is alright i guess other then the broken bones

and i had no idea imu was gonna come to elbaph personally

[glass plume]

I've never been interested in Blackbeard, I'll be honest about that.

His character just doesn't interest me.

[ornate tartan]

i thought brook would save gunko with his music

[hot cairn]

true

[stone terrace]

Ppl just say anything man

[pulsar timber]

Imu will powerup gunko sommers and Killingham. Brook fights gunko and we get a flashback

[cunning jacinth]

i feel like the discussions weren't nearly as volatile before this chapter 😭

[hot cairn]

he’s goated

[leaden rivet]

Do you like evil manchild incels better

[brittle basin]

I think a number of us did. I know I did. Kind of would've still preferred it.

[glass plume]

I'm glad you feel that way, I don't.

[hot cairn]

he’s so interesting to follow

[digital spear]

Pregbeard is peak

[stone terrace]

Someone was arguing that the holy knights look shit so bb should be the final villain as if bb isnt rocking a roster with jesus burgess and sanjuan wolf

[latent hamlet]

BB barely shows up anyways lol

[pulsar timber]

He’s evil not an incel. Get it right

[stone terrace]

😭

[digital spear]

So less evil

[pulsar timber]

Yes

[hot cairn]

they always were

[brittle basin]

Of course not. Guess that's just the nature of a reveal this big. G5 arguments were huge during the time of its reveal.

[graceful grove]

this is what koby stans ask santa for every christmas

[leaden rivet]

He’s trying to kidnap an descendant of the girl he could never have he’s sooooo lame

[glass plume]

I mean if you're refering to Imu here, then 100% everyday of the week.

[pulsar timber]

People shift whenever one of the two characters do something

[hot cairn]

LOL that’s true

[brittle basin]

I do think this is an issue. I guess that's what happens naturally in a series this big with so many other villains.

[glacial bear]

Definitely a bandwagon effect. And if Imu is the final villain. I wouldn’t mind at all. I ain’t gon reach the same like those who got all offended of Teach possibly being a final villain. Both got good cases. Just wish this server was less tribalistic about who it is, like gah damn lmao

[leaden rivet]

Mihawk vs Shanks discussions after shanks one shot Kid was crazy

[pulsar timber]

Vivi is just the rain god and imu wants her powers to become the avatar and truly win the war

[digital spear]

This is the Imu showoff arc
Next we have BB showoff
And in the end both

[latent hamlet]

Ye its like
"He's final villain against luffy"

Meanwhile he and luffy havent met in post time skip yet

[cunning jacinth]

i've always been super interested in Blackbeard, i just never saw him as the final villain. the World Government was established as the overarching antagonist of the One Piece world very early on imo. Teach is a great rival/parallel antagonist to Luffy but he isn't responsible for the main conflicts in the story

[brittle basin]

Hell final villain could be Garling at this point if people's theories about him trying to power grab are correct. even that could be fun.

[latent hamlet]

U know whats crazy
BB and Luffy have met post time skip

IN PIRATE WARRIORS

[glass plume]

Imu has 800 years worth or lore, possibly more.
The whole story's narrative and intrigue is centered around the oppression which is caused by Imu.
Imu is the reason for so much, compared to Blackbeard who is really just carrying the Davy clan and Xebec's revenge story.

[teal galleon]

[ornate tartan]

clears shiryu

[brittle basin]

Yeah, I feel like we're gonna come full circle with Skypeia

[stone terrace]

I do think the final villain should be one of bb imu or buggy

[leaden rivet]

Imu is the reason for a lot of trouble that’s in the world, Blackbeard is the reason for a lot of trouble that’s happened to Luffy

[pulsar timber]

I’ve only ever been mildly interested in Blackbeard. I like him but I’m not infatuated with him. I’ll enjoy his presence when he’s on screen but when he’s not here I don’t think of him much

[graceful grove]

oda need to restore balance to this. only way is having Mihawk 1 shot law

[stone terrace]

But bb fans need to be humbled

[digital spear]

Lol imagine the reaction of the people who think Imu was introduced too late

[latent hamlet]

BB's biggest plot contribution was the capture of Ace

As of now, he hasnt done anything remotely close

[ornate tartan]

cook, Enel and Imu- God like figures

[glass plume]

If it wasn't for Imu, would Blackbeard even be the one who he is?

[urban lodge]

It's gonna be Buggy unironically

[pulsar timber]

It’s so funny how buggy has a higher chance of being the final villain than akainu

[glacial bear]

Luffy & Blackbeard are both carrying 800 years of history & inherited will.

[warm sierra]

Imu literally made the world government that executed ace lol

[brittle basin]

I agree Imu is narratively important and the ancient kingdom backstory will reveal a lot, possibly changing many minds. But I'm also of the mindset, BB undoes all of it

[glass plume]

Yeah and Imu has lived through it, which I think is far more interesting.

[hot cairn]

that’s actually a good way to put it

[leaden rivet]

Imu didn’t have the world government execute Ace so it makes no matter

[brittle basin]

it would be quite funny

[cunning jacinth]

ehhh Blackbeard's only really responsible for orchestrating the Marineford war and arguably the death of Ace, which could be ultimately attributed to Imu as well since it's his World Government that persecuted Ace to begin with

[latent hamlet]

Imu: blah blah blah king blah blah blah wg blah blah blah joyboy

Bb: shut up. Dark Blast!

[glacial bear]

It’s interesting either way? Imu not being a final villain isn’t gonna take all that away lmao

[icy magnet]

then they kiss

[brittle basin]

true, but I don't think people feel as attached to that emotionally as they do with BB's involvement with Ace.

[glass plume]

This isn't about who is the final villain, this is about who i think is personally the most interesting one out of the two.

[leaden rivet]

Blackbeard sold Ace out, kidnapped him and practically got him killed. He’s also responsible for the kidnapping of Koby. The kidnapping of Garp. He attacked Luffy’s friends at Amazon Lily. And it’s likely he will attack fishman island for Poseidon.

Also just also maybe he’ll kill Shanks if we’re lucky

[warm sierra]

Imu is literally pissed at roger starting the great pirate age this chapter and wants to wipe out bloodlines/races but Im supposed to believe he didnt care about ace

[brittle basin]

BB kills Shanks in order to redeem Fisher's legacy

[glacial bear]

Really all void century characters are interesting. I wanna see the flashback to Davy Jones & Joyboy as well

[ornate tartan]

he should have

[glass plume]

I mena yeah of course.

[leaden rivet]

Shanks isn’t either! So we’re all good

[graceful grove]

story isn't about ace though. everyone is about to go underwater. thats the big picture problem

[brittle basin]

Maybe he did? Oda didn't show it though. Hard to care when I can't see it.

[pulsar timber]

Shanks is killing Blackbeard trust me

[icy magnet]

how would you know

[stone terrace]

Ace was fodder

And i do mean that

[ornate tartan]

#shankspiece

[stone terrace]

Imu wouldnt have known of his existence until sengoku said it

And by that point he was a man waiting to die

[leaden rivet]

Because he’s not Luffy

[latent hamlet]

Hey
He destroyed 5 baroque works ships
Thats decent

[brittle basin]

Imu will be more emotionally relevant when we explore their character. For now, they've just been a blob with a nuke button and an unhealthy obsession with Luffy, BB, and Lili, etc.

[pulsar timber]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-shanks-akagami-figarland-smile-gif-605023355171888820

[leaden rivet]

Imu is the head of the WG. Luffy ain’t to worried about em. Blackbeard is his main rival to the op, that’s who Luffy really worried about

[pulsar timber]

Oh look it’s another one of shanks sons

[glass plume]

Imu doesn't seem to care too much about Roger in general, at least that's what I've gotten.
Sure they care that they started the pirate age but other than that it doesn't feel like Imu had anything personal against Roger, like they do against Joyboy or Davy Jones for example.

At first I thought that Roger would've been Imu's main source of hate, given he became the pirate king and all that.

[ornate tartan]

yasopp upscale

greatest sniper

[leaden rivet]

Can’t call Imu a silhouette anymore

[tough igloo]

lmao unhealthy obsession

[graceful grove]

yea it will become personal after he wipes luffy and the crew.

[stone terrace]

We'll revisit this in 5

[hot cairn]

[cunning jacinth]

also there are just a lot of logistical issues with Blackbeard suddenly usurping Imu as the new king of the world. the entire world government has been organized and structured under Imu for centuries. i don't think they'd just turn into generic Blackbeard minions just because Blackbeard sits on the throne. and even beyond that, there's the question of what Blackbeard would do after he became king of the world. we know that Imu wants to flood the entire planet, which gives real stakes to him as a main villain. what kind of stakes would Blackbeard bring to the story as king of the world?

[brittle basin]

Lili has to be unhealthy right? 800 years?

[pulsar timber]

Luffy isn’t worried about Blackbeard either. Barely thinks about him

He won’t matter until he sees the ugly bastard in person

Or hears some news

[tough igloo]

for sure lol staring at the picture 800 years later is wild

[leaden rivet]

Yeah when he hears who got his grandpappy in chains

[brittle basin]

i think if he does we will feel it more. but the ancient kingdom flashback will cement it

[pulsar timber]

It’s reasonable. She ruined his total world domination plans by releasing the ponegliffs

[glass plume]

Luffy should be worried since the World Government being run by Imu and the gorosei right now is what has caused people to be oppressed and feel like they're not free and can't do what they want, which is something which matters most to Luffy. And ultimately if he doesn't take care of Imu and the World Government they'll limit his freedom too, Blackbeard on the other hand is a rival for the One Piece, Blackbeard's ideology doesn't clash with Luffy in the same manner. Blackbeard wants freedom just as much as Luffy does, they're just going at it different ways.

[digital spear]

It would probably just be in the last couple chapters when all the other villains are beat

[pulsar timber]

Lili needs to die a 2nd death!!

[brittle basin]

He might want to just torture Vivi for all I know

take out his Lili anger on her descendant twin

[leaden rivet]

Luffy isn’t thinking that deep

[cunning jacinth]

so Blackbeard would be a post-climax antagonist? tbh that could work. idk if i'm leaning in that direction yet

[tough igloo]

or when he hears Teach fucked with his friends Law Boa Koby since Wano lol

[grand flower]

Turn everyone into demons

[pulsar timber]

I don’t not see a post climax fight happening to be honest

[leaden rivet]

Damn Blackbeard has been hitting everyone related to Luffy lmao

[pulsar timber]

I think Oda would put everything into the climax like he has ever arc

[brittle basin]

some have thought of him being the laughtale antagonist or the final war antagonist. haven't heard of the post-climax antagonist though.

[glacial bear]

Blackbeard Pirates also destroyed the original Revs HQ too

[pulsar timber]

It’s honestly hard to care about a post climax fight

[cunning jacinth]

i'd imagine that's easier said than done. otherwise Imu would've done it 800 years ago

[leaden rivet]

Only one he’s missing is shanks current story. Maybe he’ll slide on Laboon later.

[cunning jacinth]

debatable, but even if it wasn't One Piece is still a story with a plot, and the WG has been positioned as the overarching antagonist of that story for a long long time

[brittle basin]

I think I agree with this. Probably the only one I can see really working is Zoro and MIhawk

[pulsar timber]

I think Zoro vsmihawk happens before Luffy becomes pirate king

[brittle basin]

possibly.

[leaden rivet]

Pirates have always been THE antagonist of OP, not the WG

[stone terrace]

Lets see koby get it back in blood

[pulsar timber]

If that fight happened after the serie climax it’d be like a chapter max

[grand flower]

Sure, teach is a big dreamer. Imu also may just not want to

[graceful grove]

all the secrets that gets revealed in LT would have Imu in its center. no chance op ends at LT itself and thats where BB final villain theory falls short. only solution for it is BB absorbing Imu/DF and having a rematch. that feels too lame imo

[cunning jacinth]

i'm thinking Laugh Tale and mayyyyybe post-climax as well. i do think that Blackbeard will have a really important role in the final war, just not as the main villain

[pulsar timber]

Which isn’t happening for a Zoro fight

[brittle basin]

zoro and mihawk i have a very hard time pinning down. my best guess is the road to laughtale since cross guild is heading that way

[glass plume]

It has to, since Zoro promised that only the world's strongest swordsman is worthy to sail with the pirate king.

[dense rapids]

So do we think Imu has the can’t swim weakness

Or will he be the first to surprise us

[pulsar timber]

Probably not

He’s the sea devil

[cunning jacinth]

i'm thinking hes the one who imposes it on all other devil fruit users

[leaden rivet]

Blackbeard is eventually sitting on the throne, I’m sure of it

[dense rapids]

Or did the Mother Nature curse DFs specifically because of Imu

[pulsar timber]

Agree

[leaden rivet]

Idk how long he’ll be there

[pulsar timber]

Too fat

[glacial bear]

There’s something about him going to the lower world that the Elders feared. So I’m not sure

[glass plume]

I mean the gorosei weren't afraid of going in the water while following Luffy in Egghead.

[brittle basin]

I'm thinking so too, but it's a very short reign.

[glacial bear]

That ain’t confirmed

[dense rapids]

I don’t think anyone is there now except maybe Lafitte

[tough igloo]

gonna be lovely 🍿

[leaden rivet]

So this is the reason you really hate Blackbeard

[cunning jacinth]

what would Blackbeard's tax policy be?

[dense rapids]

Everything

[glacial bear]

Blackbeard is already using slaves at Hachinosu

[leaden rivet]

He can just let someone who knows how to do that handle it for him

[glacial bear]

And Blackbeard wants to establish a kingdom

Hmmm

[leaden rivet]

It’s not like Imu is actively ruling much, the Gorosei handle most the affairs from what we see

[glass plume]

So y'all just want Blackbeard to take over, and become what Imu was?

Just rehash the ruler we've had for 800 years but now it's a new guy.

[leaden rivet]

Nah Blackbeard obviously has his own plans

[glacial bear]

It’s not what we want. It’s just following the story

[glass plume]

Lol.

[dense rapids]

Me personally I hope somehow Imu and Blackbeard make a deal and it goes from there

But i dont see them getting fooled twice

He has to force their hand if BB Kingdom is to be a thing

[pulsar timber]

Seems implied with the naming convention of his contracts and him being able to grant powers.

[pulsar timber]

Yes

[cunning jacinth]

that's what i mean about Blackbeard fans just wanting Blackbeard to become a less interesting version of Imu 😭 as a Blackbeard fan i would never want his character to be boiled down to "Imu but a new guy"

[pulsar timber]

Because of his SIZE

[glacial bear]

I just simply interpret it as him being the devil

[hot cairn]

why do people want this boring thing to happen

[graceful grove]

i can see him falling just short of both. reaching LT and the throne. his dad didn't come even close to either but he will be within touching distance

[glass plume]

Yeah, I don't know honestly what Blackbeard would do differently.

[pulsar timber]

I mean his contract names are literally different depths of water. Shallow, deep sea, deep deep sea

[glacial bear]

Again, not what we want. It’s just obvious at this point

[brittle basin]

Probably just comes down to execution by Oda.

[glass plume]

The reason why people want Blackbeard to defeat Imu is just because the Davy clan sob story.

But I mean, Luffy could avenge the Davy clan and Joyboy.

[pulsar timber]

“Obvious” we can see the future

[dense rapids]

What

We’ve been saying that years before Davy anything 😂

[brittle basin]

What if Imu has a sob story?

[glacial bear]

They would’ve stated Sea Devil then if that was the case.

[digital spear]

I mean Blackbeard taking the powers would just be for strength reasons

[leaden rivet]

Yep

[soft tangle]

It’s goda writing

[glass plume]

It'll probably be leagues better than the Davy clan one.

[glacial bear]

You can see the future genius?

[urban lodge]

Idk if Imu is the sea devil or made a contract with the sea devil but either way the sea devil is a real entity that exists

[leaden rivet]

Idk why people suppose it means he’ll turn exactly into Imu lol

[brittle basin]

I don't think we know enough about the Davy clan yet

[cunning jacinth]

no i think Blackbeard will 100% be instrumental in Imu's defeat. just not by replacing him or doing it offscreen without Luffy's involvement or anything like that

[brittle basin]

we need ancient kindom flashback for that

[leaden rivet]

Well maybe absorbing the power of evil will make you eviler?

[pulsar timber]

Do you know what an implication is

[brittle basin]

https://tenor.com/view/because-implication-just-saying-listen-gif-24693508

[digital spear]

But if theres some Imu still left in Blackbeard that would satisfy them too

[pulsar timber]

Sea devil or something adajcent whatever it is

[urban lodge]

Fighting the same powers twice back to back would suck major ass

[pulsar timber]

Dudes gonna have so many different names and titles

[glass plume]

It just feels like Blackbeard fans are desperate, to make it so Blackbeard is more important than he already is.
It's like Rivermore says, it's obvious that Blackbeard will already be integral to Imu's defeat along with Luffy.

[urban lodge]

Why do people want that

[gloomy light]

Blackbeard takes Imu’s powers but then Imu possesses Blackbeard

[pulsar timber]

Oda isn’t gonna do that. He’s far too creative for that

[tough igloo]

facts all we know is Imu got PTSD with them cause of Davy Jones and js terrified of the Davy promise being fulfilled

[hot cairn]

this is mainly why I’m against BB stealing Imu’s powers lol

[digital spear]

I mean what if its the other way, Imu wants to possess Blackbeards crazy body

[leaden rivet]

Implication means a possible meaning, result, or consequence that is suggested but not directly stated.

Simple breakdown:
• It’s what something implies rather than says outright.
• It can also mean a logical relationship (especially in math/logic).

[hot cairn]

literally my only reason

[pulsar timber]

Blackbeard absorbs Luffy and kills imu

[digital spear]

This probably wouldnt have to happen

[latent hamlet]

The davy lore ruined BB

[leaden rivet]

Would Nika awaken for Blackbeard

[glacial bear]

BB has like two other DFs as well. Imu ain’t got no ability to take away devil fruit abilities otherwise he could’ve easily done it to Loki & Luffy

[pulsar timber]

How so

[urban lodge]

True

[glass plume]

Definitely not.

[tough igloo]

what is he liberating lol

[pulsar timber]

Yes. He’s jolly and whimsical

[hot cairn]

wdym

[leaden rivet]

The Davy lore makes me care about him a lot less

[latent hamlet]

"Luffy isnt nika" type vibe

Meanwhile BB
"HE'S GONNA BE THE NEXT DAVY JONES"

Reality: both dont give a shit

[leaden rivet]

The world from Imu

[latent hamlet]

[glass plume]

Luffy will be the one doing that though.

[digital spear]

It probably wouldnt just be Luffy vs Imu, Blackbeard takes Imu, Luffy vs Blackbeard

[glacial bear]

This conversation feels like the whole “Kidd & Law are dead” argument. Which they obviously are not

[pulsar timber]

How does this ruin Blackbeard though

[tough igloo]

Imu calls them both Joyboy & Davy Jones though lol regardless if Luffy denies it

[hot cairn]

that sucks tho, I want to see Luffy vs Imu

[glacial bear]

A flaw of Imu is that he’s stuck in the past

[digital spear]

Yeah Im saying it wouldnt be that

[glass plume]

That's just undermining one character to make the other one more powerful.

[leaden rivet]

I find the “destined to face off against each other” kinda cringe. But most of all I liked the outlier that Blackbeard represented,

[hot cairn]

I’m confused

[glass plume]

Blackbeard shouldn't steal shit, if you ask me.

[tough igloo]

wouldn’t call it stuck in the past if the things in the past are what’s causing everything now

[wraith mantle]

Wonder if Luffy will ever meet nika in his mind

[glacial bear]

I agree. I’m not too big on the whole predetermined fate stuff

[digital spear]

Actually maybe thats why Imu is in Elbaf

[glass plume]

Blackbeard should if anything, when Imu is defeated be king of the world with the power he has.

And then Luffy takes him down.

[leaden rivet]

Him being a weird kid that rose to power from lying and betraying others is more interesting than him being a descendant of the real kings of the world and all the other bullshit

[hot cairn]

[glacial bear]

Idk. For me, I just feel like Luffy is still his own person & not a copy of Joyboy

[leaden rivet]

Also I hate that he’s biologically related to rocks and it’s not an inherited will

[soft tangle]

Would it be crazy to think that Loki is who BB was planned to be, but Oda wants every important character to be blood related?

[leaden rivet]

But whatever

[glacial bear]

He may be similar but at the end of the day. That’s still a different person

[wraith mantle]

Taking down the king of the world. Part 2

[digital spear]

So Luffy vs Imu happens here

[urban lodge]

Inherited (from your parents) will

[glass plume]

Even you see how stupid it sounds.

[tough igloo]

i don’t think imu calling luffy by joyboy means imu believes he’s a copy , i think it’s moreso just that they represent the same thing and have the same will (which we know is true )

[pulsar timber]

I mean he still lied cheat and stole his way to the top. I think it can play into his ideas of fate and destiny as well and make his character more interesting

[glacial bear]

Ahh. I see.

[leaden rivet]

The concept of fate and destiny as a whole is very cheap to me

[wraith mantle]

“Even you” ??

[digital spear]

Oda is finally cooking. You are destined by blood

[leaden rivet]

It feels like it lessens a journey when something is fated to happen

[glass plume]

I didn't mean it like that.

[graceful grove]

do u see luffy winning here?

[urban lodge]

I really hate how much Oda leans into that with BB

[pulsar timber]

I guess that’s just a you thing then

[digital spear]

Not really

[soft tangle]

The main character being Luffy

[glacial bear]

No I agree with illyasae

[pulsar timber]

Fair enough opinion to have

[leaden rivet]

Yeah I didn’t say it was bad writing just that I don’t like it

[urban lodge]

I think he's trying to write an evil chosen one of a kind

But it's bad

[glass plume]

When will we learn about Blackbeards special body anyways.

[cunning jacinth]

im not super into fate and destiny either but it was established super early on, for better or worse

[hot cairn]

[tough igloo]

yeah after G5 i just stopped caring about it cause i used to complain about it too but i think Oda is making it clear that your lineage matters a lot in one piece

[urban lodge]

I've seen the same concept being executed well but Oda doesn't know what he's doing

[ornate tartan]

wtf did I just see on my timeline

ImuLu??? lost they damn mind

bro😂😂😂

[pulsar timber]

How can we say it’s bad when it’s not fully executed yet

We haven’t even begun to see the depth of this thin and Blackbeard

[graceful grove]

so there should be a 2nd fight right? surely BB won't finish off imu and just take over as final villain.

[cunning jacinth]

an evil chosen one concept? i can think of a character in the Dagger and the Coin books but idk if he was handled better

[tough igloo]

but i don’t know anywhere near enough davy clan lore to say it’s bad or good yet

i just know oda cooked with rocks and teach characters

Eris too

[glass plume]

We barely saw Eris.

[pulsar timber]

destiny has been a big part of one piece since its beginning. It’s just more explicit now that we are dealing with lore stuff

[tough igloo]

what we saw , he cooked

[leaden rivet]

I’ll wait to decide what I think on Blackbeard

[pulsar timber]

I can’t explain why I like it now. Maybe later but I have to do something

Yall take care and make sure to pray to imu

[glacial bear]

Fuck Imu

Nika better

[glass plume]

The whole intrigue surrounding Joyboy and Imu has always been super interesting, when we first heard of it.

And then they kinda just added Davy Jones, lol.

[pulsar timber]

This won’t hold over well on judgement day

[soft tangle]

Imu had centuries to prepare for rebellions and is folding

[urban lodge]

Maybe if that hypocritical aspect of him being so centred around dreams while having his "dream" imposed upon him is an intentional aspect of his writing it could be interesting but somehow I doubt it

[glass plume]

Whose next, will Ryuma be added as the third?

[tough igloo]

tbf when imu is first introduced .. they were looking at both luffy & teach so that davy jones aspect was always there ever since imu introduction

[vital heart]

In japanese it says to venmo me $30

Trust

[glass plume]

What the fuck do you mean, they've been a steady ruler for 800 years.

[vital heart]

Venmo me

[graceful grove]

yup there was no rebellion for 800 years

[glacial bear]

True. It started off with him ripping the posters right?

[cunning jacinth]

ngl i've been wondering about whether Davy Jones would become important ever since watching the davy backfight arc so im glad that he is important after all

[glass plume]

Fate is working actively against Imu right now, lol

[tough igloo]

yep and we see imu holding both their bounty posters when going to look at the giant straw hat

it was always both when imu was introduced

[glacial bear]

Imu is the oppressed one now? 😂

[leaden rivet]

They are right Imu is folding partly because he put no effort into capturing Luffy who he knew had Nika when he was way weaker and way younger and just let him become strong enough to oppose him

[glass plume]

I mean, everything has been lined up in the good sides favor.
So if you want to call that oppressed, go ahead.

[hearty vigil]

Can I post art here off twitter

[tough igloo]

but we always knew there would be a void century parallel for Teach we just didn’t know who

[glass plume]

I wonder why.

Maybe plot armor.

[leaden rivet]

Everything has plot armor

[livid elm]

would anyone happen to know what font they use for the English manga translations for OP

[glass plume]

Unfortunately.

[leaden rivet]

But there’s no good explanation in story why he’s so dumb

[glass plume]

Otherwise the villains would probably always win.

[leaden rivet]

That’s moreso to the character writing

The real reason is probably Imu and Nika didn’t exist yet

[vital heart]

I GOT CHAPTER 1180 LEAKS

is what WorstGenHQ would say if it were still april fools

[golden valley]

Everything would make sense if we find out Imu couldn’t act willingly

Without sacrifice

[cunning jacinth]

you think Oda hadn't figured out the story of the Void Century before introducing the concept in the manga?

[glass plume]

I mean, they've been having people underneath them who have tried to sort it out and failed.
Thanks to plot armor again, lol.

And now it seems like Imu is more vulnerable when going down themselves, which sort of explains why they've not done stuff before.

[golden valley]

Cuz if Imu was just free all this time…just send a Gorosei or Holy Knight, possess and then kill Luffy

[glass plume]

They could've sent Akainu to Egghead and the results would probably be more or less the same.

[graceful grove]

sacrifice being odas bank account if imu had gone and killed luffy when he first found out he had the nika df

[leaden rivet]

Yep

[glass plume]

What a story we'd have if that happened.

[golden valley]

Imu having global range abilities is a HUGE problem for the story back then

[digital spear]

What do you not like just say it

[golden valley]

Because they can just take over any vessel from across the planet

[glass plume]

Imu should kill every pirate as soon as their bounty poster is out there.

[leaden rivet]

Imu never actually ever sends anyone after Luffy for Nika. He just doesn’t do anything about it

[golden valley]

Thats my issue

[glass plume]

"Imu sir, this pirate named... Blue D. Ballsack is causing a ruckuss..!"

[glacial bear]

Good side favor? Eh I wouldn’t call it exactly Rocks & BB good guys

[glass plume]

"Mu will deal with it."

[golden valley]

I get Imu expecting luffy to die in X moment

But

[urban lodge]

The reason it works with Luffy is because we see every part of his journey, his successes and his failures. We see him struggle and lose and basically "force" fate, or like Ivankov said in Impel Down, miracles, to happen, while with Teach we pretty much just see him making really shitty decisions and always being rewarded and coming out on top and it just feels cheap

[glass plume]

They are if we are comparing them to Imu.

[golden valley]

When he did it over and over, idk, I would’ve stepped in

By that point

[rose rune]

since he's probably weaker in the lower world Oda has an excuse for him to lose and still be a threat later

[leaden rivet]

Imu is also the same guy that let the number 2 of the revolutionary army escape with the world governments biggest secret

[golden valley]

True

[leaden rivet]

Oh yeah and Wapol too

[digital spear]

Thats why he will lose in the end

[vital heart]

Plus Oda has another time limit mechanism in the final boss. So its more like “just survive and last as long as possible”

[rose rune]

yeah, but that's honestly the gorosei's fault. they should have just used the guns

[wraith mantle]

Is this shamrock snitching on Loki?

[soft tangle]

They literally had to get out their own throne to settle a conflict lmao. Imagine ruling the world for centuries, steadily building a fleet of powerful beings, and you don’t even have control of all the ancient weapons. You don’t have the ONE fruit that can destroy your control locked up inside the depths of your castle. You have immortal beings sitting around do nothing, but when things gets bad, they get walked on. Rocks and Luffy have embarrassed the world government.

Any immortal being would have back up plans behind back up plans. We have seen that any time someone powerful rebels, the world government falls over, and Imu has to be the one to stop it.

[digital spear]

Why Shamrock

Oh

You mean in Reverie?

[wraith mantle]

Yeah

[digital spear]

Maybe!

Would be cool

[glacial bear]

Nah they both bad

[glass plume]

You make it sound a lot more easy than it is.

[rose rune]

Oda always has a time limit mechanism : <

[vital heart]

Unsure. Probably some cp agent.

[vital heart]

Was there one in egghead? Or just emeth

[urban lodge]

Buggy is another example of fate being done right because he's fucking miserable and hates it

[rose rune]

get out before the island blows I guess

[digital spear]

It sounds like something thats still happening tho like Loki is still sailing around

[vital heart]

yeah fair lol i suppose

[glass plume]

Probably.

[vital heart]

GUYS I WANNA START SAYING “i suppose” instead of “i guess” or “i think”.

Id sound so much smarter i suppose

[digital spear]

Not here

[dense rapids]

“Usopp gonna rewind time and relive the day of Elbaph saving everyone. The first person he wakes up is Nami”

[rose rune]

wano had onigashima. wholecake had shrink mom. dressrosa had the bird cage, PH had the gas, fishman had the noah... etc.

[dense rapids]

[vital heart]

Wano had the flame yokai and the clouds. Wdym?

[rose rune]

I was thinking Kaido moving onigashima to crush the city

but yeah, flame thingy too

[glass plume]

It's so apparent that this is mirroring ragnarok.

Loki's release was the trigger of it.

Now they're caught in it.

[ornate tartan]

can’t blame them bro what else they gonna theorize about😂

[rose rune]

I dunno guys. I don't think Oda uses norse mythology

[ornate tartan]

now it’s back to nerona nami

[glass plume]

Definitely some of it.

[rose rune]

just a coincidence I'm sure

[digital spear]

Its crazy how every Elbaf theory ends with "and this will start Ragnarok" as if we didnt know wed get a final war in the end but now its norse

[glass plume]

I don't think it is, after all Oda's favorite show was about vikings.

[rose rune]

he probably thought they were pirates

[soft tangle]

Luffy has Dragon as his father and Garp as his grandpa. He survives molten hot gold around his arm, stabbed straight through the chest, etc. His fruit came to him via Shanks. He and BB are quite literally as equally lucky. You can argue even that BB has to earn his wins more since he had to go out his way for his fruit, father was killed, and at the same time this is when Luffy is born in your era. Bb’s fate was meeting whitebeard and having Rocks lineage yes. It isn’t cheap though

[glass plume]

I mean technically...

[rose rune]

I'll stop now

[glass plume]

Aren't pirates just sea bandits.

[brittle basin]

Pirates are scum who should be wiped out.

[blazing depot]

This just Final Destination

[rose rune]

that can't be true, because the straw hats are land bandits. they rarely fight at sea

[blazing depot]

The entire arc was a hallucination by Usopp from the start

[soft tangle]

Immortal beings in power have everything easy

[urban lodge]

Even he thinks him getting his fruit was fate though, as long as it took, he thinks the fruit was testing him because it's an evil fruit

[glass plume]

If only.

[brittle basin]

wat

[timber glacier]

Ussop will still get his moment right right...

[glass plume]

Yeah we should get more naval combat in One Piece.

[brittle basin]

arc>moment

[rose rune]

Usopp will become elbaf

[fallen meteor]

Elsopp

[soft tangle]

Yeah it can be chalked up to fate, but he had to take the initiative for it.

[glass plume]

It's kinda strange in retrospect that Blackbeard thinks the fruit chose him, as he literally needed to kill his "friend" for it.

[urban lodge]

I think it could go either way

[timber glacier]

its also not a zoan so it didnt choose nothing

[soft tangle]

I think he sees it as right place right time

[rose rune]

just a simplified way of saying he'll become fertilizer for the tree

[urban lodge]

The thing is as far as we know only zoans have wills

[urban lodge]

But it's not impossible or even unlikely at this point that the yami is a secret zoan so who knows

[leaden rivet]

He will just pick, Joyboy, Davey or CD

[glass plume]

Sakazuki should go rogue already.

I don't want to see him in that office ever again.

[soft tangle]

We got Fuji for that

[blazing depot]

I saw a good theory where Gunko has a mechanical jaw, Killingham mechanical legs

[glacial bear]

I suspect that he is

oda needs to remember akainu exists first

[glacial bear]

Oooo that’s interesting

[glass plume]

Could be...

[glacial bear]

I wonder what Shamrock gave up

Not me bro

Junicho fumi said this

At shounen 11 years ago

[urban lodge]

Akainu will die saving Luffy just like Ace

[glacial bear]

It kinda looks like wires coming out

[elfin mica]

To atone for his mistake

[glacial bear]

Robbo Knights?

[elfin mica]

Makes sense

[soft tangle]

Akainu doesn’t see it as a mistake

[glacial bear]

I wonder if Sanji & Zoro still fight Sommers & Killingham or if they focus on Imu

[blazing depot]

In no way in hell Luffy teams up with either Sakazuki or Teach

[glacial bear]

Yeah no way

[elfin mica]

Not yet

[leaden rivet]

[glacial bear]

Those two have caused harm to Luffy’s family

[ornate tartan]

can’t wait to see shanks get dedicated focus for 2 chapters in a row

he gets a couple panels then dips

but that just means one piece is ending😔

[soft tangle]

He got his panels from the Harald flashback

[dense rapids]

Them vs Harald will be at least 2 episodes

[soft tangle]

He’s over

[grand flower]

Interesting idea tbh

[ornate tartan]

that’s a flashback💀

I cannot wait for him to die

he hasn’t gotten any screentime

Surely Oda is not that money hungry.
I have doubts that one piece will truly end after Oda said “it’s not serious”

They're just milking Xenoverse 2

Come back to this comment in 10 years when we’ve gotten an announcement that a One Piece spin off is in the works with Oda’s successor as he supervises and gives the story

Dragon ball fighterz is the best anime game. If one piece had something like that 😩

What about Code Vein.

Check out this cool egg I got from easter this year

[latent hamlet]

[distant vine]

Yes

There was a game in development but it got cancelled during some Bandai layoffs

So who knows what theyre up to now

[latent hamlet]

Hm. Odd

You'd think they'd say something by now

Chapter?

[prisma idol]

Ive seen a thousand ships pop up with Imu's reveal, some current ones I see:
Imu x Joyboy
Rocks x Imu
Imu x Luffy
Imu x Fem!Rocks
Imu x Nika

[wraith mantle]

14 days for chapter 💔

[brittle basin]

most of them are probably Imu x Fan

[royal orchid]

Imu x YN

[brittle basin]

In the meantime, you can finally read a good story.

[wraith mantle]

Hear me out

Imu x King

[prisma idol]

Ive seen the jp Fandom calling him an ikemen

So they find him very hot

[wraith mantle]

Half way through OB

Better than one piece 🤞

Here or on #manga too?

[latent hamlet]

Even the elders are ultimately just minions and most of the SH fights against WG is just getting away from them. Even enies lobby for all their war declaration, they only wanted to grab Robin and leave

Imu is THE final boss of the WG. They see him, they finally have a figure to beat up

[royal orchid]

she's currently in bum fuck nowhere with wapol and morgans as far as we know

running from the entire world government

he was jaya. that's about all i remember

[dapper tree]

on the last day

just remind me

[obtuse perch]

dressrosa too

[urban lodge]

If I remember

[dapper tree]

ban yourself

[latent hamlet]

Imagine voting some1 who worked for doffy, got beat up, still worked for him

[brittle basin]

[forest jacinth]

He got his ass beat by Doflamingo

[dapper tree]

bellamy for SH

[forest jacinth]

[brittle basin]

fuck i forgot he worked for doffy. but i remember he painted flags on a cover story

[forest jacinth]

Yeah that's what he does now ig

[forest jacinth]

after he left dressrosa

[obtuse perch]

tbf bellamy serves the same purpose both pre and post timeskip. he shows what happens when a pirate lacks enough faith in themselves. sucks it had to be the same dude but my heart did at least feel for him a bit in dressrosa, he got done real dirty by doffy

[grand flower]

I always thought it was interesting that Harald said this, as though making models is ubiquitous in Elbaph

[royal orchid]

the color of the card will determine if I vote for her in the future bluko

let's see

[obtuse perch]

Road does have a whole pirate-pla playset

[grand flower]

I wonder if any other giants have any

[dapper tree]

sommers has a fan club?

[blazing depot]

I think all the straw hats die… so the story becomes dark and griddy. Also tension

Then it becomes the Akainu show

[urban lodge]

Vote Lucci

[grand flower]

https://tenor.com/view/griddy-gif-gif-25339935

[dapper tree]

that's what I thougfht

[wraith mantle]

Why is he so popular in Africa

[forest jacinth]

Vote for Yamato gang

[urban lodge]

He's simply the goat

[royal orchid]

smh it was white

[prisma idol]

I alone will vote for Maffey

[formal wagon]

vote carrot

[prisma idol]

Who?

[formal wagon]

for humanity

carrot

[wraith mantle]

No

[royal orchid]

why are you saying the name of a vegetable

[forest jacinth]

[royal orchid]

"vote cucumber" like lmao

[prisma idol]

Him?

[wraith mantle]

She’s a fake strawhat, got bodied by perospero, didn’t get a good bye scene

Why would you ever vote for carrot

[royal orchid]

ohhhh the usopp pirate

[prisma idol]

[dapper tree]

[urban lodge]

Carrot got robbed of her dream by two senile minks so the least she deserves is your vote

[obtuse perch]

[prisma idol]

I saw a theory saying that Imu's blob body was a chrysalis. And that imu was still healing from the VC war, staying in the holy land in peace away from fighting was allowing him to heal. But by leaving the Holy Land, he forces himself out of the form to fight, and thats where the blood comes from. Him not being fully healed from his fight against Joyboy 800 years ago

[dapper tree]

what a loser

worse healing rate than cracker

[wraith mantle]

Bro needs a good doctor

[forest jacinth]

Joyboy did a number on him huh

[dapper tree]

maybe imu can't heal and is stuck taking damage but halts the progression by doing nothing

[royal orchid]

Imu: And since then... Mu hath been searching for a legendary fruit, one who said could heal all. Such fruit, shaped as a mushroom, Mu struggles yet to find.

[ashen rose]

Probably, since he has THE devil fruit, it's probably more susceptible to water than anything, it's also why he decided to go to the heaven layer of Elbaph, the furthest from sea water

[grand flower]

Jesus Christ how bad did he get his ass whooped

[ashen rose]

If the fight happened lower he probably would have told the goroseis to take care of it

[prisma idol]

Imu got jumped by Joyboy and friends and still won. He surely didnt come out unscathed

[ashen rose]

Joyboy, joyboys crew, 3 super weapons of mass destruction

It wasn't a one sided stomp

[tidal ice]

would explain the trauma from experiencing joyboy's haki knot bull

[ashen rose]

I doubt imu soloed that

He probably got help from the gorosei depending on how old they were

We're gonna get a void century flashback sooner or later so it's only a matter of time before we find out

[grand flower]

getting your ass whooped don't mean stomp

king whooped zoro's ass

[dense haven]

vrotex do you think loki will get neg diffed

[ashen rose]

Nah

But I doubt he'll win

I want IMU to decimate everyone and everything in elbaph

Please

Put up a fight but show us a fraction of the power of the OG devil fruit user

[dense haven]

based

[ashen rose]

The power of one of the 20 kings, and the one who beat them all

The one who came out on top of the world and changed it to fit as his image and needs

[dense haven]

[ashen rose]

Show us Nerona IMU oda

[tidal ice]

imu was really the main character, one piece is just a far flung story after their epilogue

[ashen rose]

IMU's story ended as soon as Davey stepped onto his palace, at that moment he realized he was not untouchable anymore

IMU's story was one of immense oppression and suffering, but all stories must come to an end eventually

[dense rapids]

I think Imu is what Vegapunk thinks the Seraphim are

The perfect form of humanity

[rich hornet]

It’s time to pass the torch to a new oppressor

[dense rapids]

*strongest

Maybe Imu was a/the first modified human

The tattoos on his body seem to resemble circuitry and I wonder if it’s VC tech or if it appears with his DF transformation

[royal orchid]

Current options I've seen used for Imu's skin color

Brown/Lunarian

Red

Gray

Dark Blue/Dark Gray

[rich hornet]

They did have a weird sound effect when they emerged from the blob

Like bzzt bzzt

[dense rapids]

They did?

Let me check again

[royal orchid]

when the wings came out of Imu's body

there was a bzzt

[dense rapids]

Oh ur right I didn’t notice that

[urban lodge]

Isn't that just conquerors

[dense rapids]

Idk

I don’t really follow the haki effects to know

Yea probably just haki

[urban kiln]

tch posting other series convos...

[blazing depot]

This is about Imu duh

[dense rapids]

I think these marks and such are tech

[fallen meteor]

[dense rapids]

Yea

[blazing depot]

Elbaph is just writing slop… with zero hype moments and peak

[dense rapids]

Some cyberpunk type tech

[safe cove]

sandman (@sandman_AP)

Despite this being a crucial line, Viz official translation is not accurate. My translation: The darkness within me drags in another force, the power of the devil itself !! [ If Imu is truly a devil, then Blackbeard might be able to nullify that power.😍]

X · Nov 9, 2025, 10:11 AM

[royal orchid]

OMG

[rich hornet]

Which makes sense why it was absolutely crucial to BB’s plan and why Rocks wasnt ready to fight Imu. This fruit is a hard counter for akuma no mi

[dense rapids]

People will tell u BB fans are reaching tho

[brittle basin]

I'm on BB's side at this point.

[pulsar timber]

https://tenor.com/view/sigh-le-sad-cat-gif-16777715376630435814

[royal orchid]

I definitely think the darkness fruit was one of the two Rocks wanted

[royal orchid]

you can see how BB smiled when Thatch found it

Is this not anime only

[latent hamlet]

I think it is
But its not inaccurate

BB even mentioned i think that he was pretty close to giving up on searching for it

[prisma idol]

This is all we got in the manga

[latent hamlet]

He looks more 😠

https://tenor.com/view/angry-cat-gif-25783770

[latent hamlet]

Anime was like "FINALLY."

[proper egret]

Guys….what if imu is immortal because of lili?

[dense rapids]

U had the circuit styled clothing on egghead but those were on the clothes and not the skin

[proper egret]

Those thighs tho..

[grand flower]

Interesting with what's happening with Chopper

Hiriluk said this about drum kingdom

[proper egret]

But I’m thinking Lili gave her heart to Imu

In the operation

I kinda want Imu and Lili to be more in love..

I wonder whomst their child was tho..

[grand flower]

Luffy's outfit in Egghead had 163 on the back.

1 = i

6 = mu

3 = san

[proper egret]

Like the ppl in Amazon lol!

[pulsar timber]

Fandom will be shell shocked when imu isn’t head over heels for lili

[grand flower]

hm?

[dense rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/flight-reacts-shocked-gif-9885796698302419555

[proper egret]

Listen I’m starting to think maybe Lili died for imu and that’s why he’s obsessed lol

[pulsar timber]

He hates her though

[dense rapids]

There’s a connection between Imu and Amazon Lily

[pulsar timber]

He has only spoken of her and her “mistake” with contempt

[proper egret]

The mistake was her letting him live lol

And dying

[ripe estuary]

Is this implying that Imu was like Luffy

[pulsar timber]

The mistake was letting the ponegliffs spread

[proper egret]

Why?

[celest mauve]

the questions are, why does he keep a picture of her in his garden room and why does he desire her descendent

it's true that he spoke of lili with contempt, but why the obsession with her and her lineage

[pulsar timber]

Those are intriguing questions indeed. I don’t think the answer is that imu is in love with Lili and wants vivi

[proper egret]

Idk, she could’ve made other mistakes such as disappearing

[ripe estuary]

His(Imu) pose makes me think of someone who reluctantly ascended into power and godhood.

[proper egret]

Or not joining them

[proper egret]

No one said he “wants” vivi in that way ew lol. Maybe that’s his daughter from the future

Or some shit lol joking idk

[pulsar timber]

A lot of people think imu wants vivi for Marriage or something sadly

[forest jacinth]

Nah

[ripe estuary]

Sadly?

[forest jacinth]

He's got some beef with them

[ripe estuary]

He’s a corrupt king and not just that a CD

[brittle basin]

could be someting he needs in vivi's blood

maybe a new host body?

[dense rapids]

Does Imu have satyr legs?

[pulsar timber]

I don’t think imu cares for stuff like that in his current state. The goresei are not ruled by their desires like regular CDs are

[dense rapids]

I didn’t notice before

But they do seem kinda fluffy

[celest mauve]

too unclear to tell

[iron oriole]

bruh thats like my 4th one now

[celest mauve]

hope we get a full body shot in the next chapter

[dense rapids]

Would really fit the Baphomet theme I guess

[celest mauve]

imu aura-farming is nice but we also don't get to see a proper view of his full design because of it

[dapper tree]

we gonna get a mini time skip and we just see Imu having beaten everyone
