After a long wait, we finally witness the formidable Imu in action once more. It’s been a while since she showed her power, most notably when she ruthlessly eliminated Saint Saturn, one of the Five Elders, for failing to capture Luffy during the Egghead arc. In the thrilling new chapter 1149 of One Piece, Imu makes a shocking comeback—not in a flashback or from her throne in Pangaea Castle, but rather on Elbaf Island in an unexpected twist.
This chapter features Gaban confronting Gunko. The situation takes a dire turn when Colon reveals his identity to Gunko, causing him to take Colon hostage. In a desperate attempt to save his son, Gaban pleads for mercy, but Gunko’s devil fruit powers ultimately send him plummeting off a cliff.
As Gaban falls, the emotional moment becomes intense as Colon cries for his father. *To everyone’s astonishment, Gunko momentarily lost control as a memory with Brook surfaces in his mind*, prompting him to rush toward Brook. Just then, Imu seizes control of Gunko’s body, leaving readers on the edge of their seats.
Without missing a beat, Imu telepathically alerts Sommers and Killingham about the crisis in Mary Geoise, which is engulfed in flames and desperately requires military reinforcements. Angered by the chaos on Elbaf Island, Imu ominously warns the residents to prepare for her wrath.
It seems that Imu inferred someone had countered the regenerative abilities of the God’s Knights, leading her to take over Gunko’s body to deliver a foreboding message. This chapter confirms the suspected connection between Imu and Gunko, intensifying the intrigue.
The turmoil in the Holy Land raises questions about a potential attack from the Revolutionary Army or the Blackbeard Pirates. Most fans lean towards the Revolutionary Army’s involvement, especially considering that Imu mentions Mary Geoise is aflame—possibly a sign of Sabo, the Flame Emperor.
With urgency in the air, Imu instructs the Holy Knights to prepare for immediate return to the Holy Land. Will we witness her unleashing power through Gunko? This cliffhanger leaves so much to ponder in the upcoming chapters.
Additionally, with Gaban and Chopper now in peril, it’s likely that Luffy, Loki, and the remaining giants will learn of the unraveling events above. This could lead to an epic confrontation between Imu and Luffy in his Gear 5 form, fueling excitement among fans.
