This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Elbaf Arc.
Summary
- Imu possesses an overpowering magic ability never seen before in One Piece.
- Imu can summon demons and use dark magic, overpowering even the Four Emperors.
- Imu's strength is monstrous, turning strongest enemies into immortal allies effortlessly.
The One Piece world has several incredible powers to show to the fans, but the vast majority of those are accessible via a Devil Fruit. Then, there are also other powers, such as Haki, which allows one to use their own spirit in many different ways. All these powers are quite exciting, to say the least, and fans know that they will always be at the center of all major battles.
One Piece: Oda Reveals He Might Change One Piece's Ending And Here's Why
Oda has said he could change One Piece's ending if fans do this one thing. Here's what he said.
Now, however, Oda has broken his own system by introducing an incredibly overpowering ability that nobody in the One Piece world even expected him to incorporate into the story, and that is magic. With the arrival of Imu to Elbaf in One Piece chapter 1149, fans have now gotten their first look at magic in One Piece, with Imu, the individual who is most likely the strongest in One Piece, being its user.
Imu Is A Mage In One Piece, Thanks To His Spellbook
- Imu's Spellbook Allows Him To Use Various Powers
- Imu Can Summon Demons With Spellbook
If there's one thing that fans need to know about Imu, it is that this individual truly is the strongest in the world right. Based on the performance that they showed off in One Piece chapter 1150, it is clear that Imu has powers that can't be dealt with easily. What's more, Imu's powers even dwarf those of the Four Emperors by far, based on the display that Oda has given to the fans so far.
So this is the power of the Elbaf Giants, interesting! — Imu
In One Piece chapter 1150, it was clearly shown that Imu can use a magic book, and this book likely has multiple spells. These spells are incredibly powerful and can do a ton of things that fans couldn't even expect. For one, fans could clearly see Imu being able to summon a demon army, which also consists of Giants, and have them fight against the remaining forces of Elbaf. More than that, Imu can also turn people into demons, which is something that's possible via the usage of dark magic.
Imu Can Use Powers Of Corruption
Imu Was Able To Corrupt Dorry and Brogy
In One Piece chapter 1150, Imu truly did the unthinkable, and fans are utterly shocked by the fact that he was able to corrupt his enemies and make them into his allies. This ability is somewhat similar to the power that Luffy possesses, only this one is used by force and takes away their life. Imu used the power of Domi Reversi and with this power, they were able to corrupt Dorry and Brogy, two of the strongest men in Elbaf. In fact, Dorry and Brogy were the strongest Elbaf had to offer, aside from Loki, who is imprisoned in the Underworld.
Allow Mu to show thee the dominance of a God! — Imu
One Piece: Oda Hints At One Piece's Final Villain Being A Straw Hat
The final villain of One Piece might be a Straw Hat pirate. Oda has already hinted at that.
Not only did Imu turn Dorry and Brogy into his allies, but at the same time, they were greatly buffed. Both Dorry and Brogy got far bigger than before, and at the same time, they gained immense strength as well, on top of their monstrously strong abilities. On top of everything, now, they're immortal too.
Imu's Strength Is Out Of This World
Clearly, based on what Oda has been showing the fans as of late, fans can tell that Imu's strength is truly unbelievable. It now makes sense why Joy Boy wasn't able to beat Imu during the Void Century. Imu can take down the strongest of people in the blink of an eye and that's a monstrous showing. The most shocking part of it all is the fact that Imu is doing all this casually from Marijoa. This isn't even Imu's full power and yet Elbaf, the strongest country in the world with the mightiest race that conquered the whole New World, is now destroyed. Truly, Imu's strength is next level and fans will only continue to see more as One Piece's Elbaf arc continues.
One Piece Chapter 1150 will be out in a week. As usual, One Piece is going to drop on Sunday. In Japan, One Piece drops at 12AM JST on Monday. However, the vast majority of international readers will see the chapter available on May 11. The official release date of One Piece Chapter 1150 is June 1, 2025.
