As “One Piece” reaches new heights of intensity with each new chapter, the final saga gradually unravels the series’ deepest mysteries. Recent developments surrounding the Five Elders and the promise of a deep dive into the story of the greatest antagonist, Saint Nerona Imu, have the fan community in turmoil.

The Egghead Island Saga and the Focus on the Five Elders

The current arc of “One Piece,” set on Egghead Island , spotlights the Five Elders, drawing all eyes to them and Imu, whose intriguing powers will be explored in detail. This phase of the story, rich in twists and turns, revealed the surprising abilities of the Five Elders, suggesting that they might not be human, but demons in their own right.

The Yokai Powers of the Five Elders

The peak of the Egghead Island arc was marked by Saint Saturn’s use of a giant summoning circle , gathering all of the remaining Elders on Egghead Island to confront the Hat Pirates of Straw. To everyone’s surprise, it was revealed that they possessed the powers of different Yokai, demonstrating that the Five Elders have demonic powers and might not be human.

Saint Nerona Imu and the Forgotten Century

The Five Elders, Saint Imu’s personal guardians, play a crucial role in protecting his identity. Their connection to Imu, as well as their Yokai powers, highlight the importance of the Forgotten Century and the possibility that Imu is an immortal demon who survived this dark period in history. This revelation offers a new perspective on the nature and goals of Imu.

Imu’s Yokai Form – The Devil Himself

Imu, like the Five Elders, is depicted as a non-human entity. The possibility that Imu benefited from eternal youth surgery raises questions about her true nature. If Luffy represents light and freedom, Imu embodies darkness and enslavement , making him a divine counterpart to Luffy. Imu’s evil nature, potentially linked to the Sea Devil, promises to unlock unimaginable powers that will likely be explored in the “One Piece” sequel.
