This article contains spoilers for One Piece's Elbaf arc.
One Piece's Elbaf arc is incredibly exciting at the moment, and fans know very well that this might just be the most intense phase in the story in the last few years, despite the incredible quality that Oda has offered to the fans on a consistent basis. One Piece fans know that Loki's flashback is currently being explored in the story, and that it also goes over all the incredibly exciting parts of the recent history of the One Piece world.
One Piece: Oda Reveals Major Plans To Draw A Story About Luffy's Birth
Luffy is still a huge mystery, and Oda plans to draw his full backstory eventually in One Piece.
While that is great, fans also want to see the story return to the present, and that's largely because a big battle against Imu is about to unfold. Fans have only seen a small glimpse of Imu's power, but at the same time, Oda has made it increasingly clear what ability Imu holds.
Imu Can Use The Power Of Evil
- Imu Is A True Devil
- Their Powers Are Immeasurable
One Piece fans haven't seen the full extent of Imu's powers. However, the moment they arrived on Elbaf, it was clear that they would get to see that sooner rather than later. When Dorry and Brogy went into action against Imu, they both ended up being beaten rather easily and turned into Imu's loyal demon slaves. Both Dorry and Brogy became immortal and their powers reached a new level entirely that can't be matched easily by anyone. This was only a part of what Imu could do.
Allow Mu to show thee the power of a God! — Imu
It remains to be seen how much of their full power Imu can channel through the body of Gunko, but if it is anywhere near his maximum output, then Imu is, undoubtedly, going to be absolutely unstoppable.
Imu Grants Special Powers And Turns People Into Demon Slaves
Imu Can Make Anyone Immortal
Imu has an arsenal of incredible abilities that they can use in battle, and Oda has made it clear that he can even turn others immortal. The Five Elders, for example, are immortal at the moment and seem to have been living for over 200 years at the very least. The Holy Knights are also immortal, as is clear from their bodies and powers.
I shall grant thee the power of evil! — Imu
One Piece: Eiichiro Oda Might Have Revealed The Rain God Fruit, And It Belongs To A Yonko Level Character
The Rain God Devil Fruit might be a real One Piece fruit, and it might be in possession of a Yonko-level character.
The secret of Imu's Devil Fruit lies in this immortality. To turn someone immortal, Imu takes a part of their lifespan or their soul. In exchange, Imu turns them into slaves with an immortal body and unprecedented strength. Imu is also known to consume anything and everything, such as when Sabo shot his flames at him in Marijoa.
Imu Grants The Power Of The Abyss
Above all, Imu grants the power of Abyss to those with his mark. Curiously enough, the mouth of the Leviathan, the majestic sea-serpent, is known as the Abyss. Be it appearance-wise or power-wise, the Leviathan is a perfect fit for Imu, and it is only a matter of time before Oda reveals the truth behind this power.
