Are we losing Elbaph? No one is able to stand in the way of Imu this chapter. Our first causality is Gerd’s fingers as Imu moves so quick that she doesn’t realize her fingers were cut off to free Saint Sommers.
Stansen gets his leg cut off as he tries to protect Hajrudin from attacking Imu, which albeit a super smart move because Hajrudin would’ve died there.
Even Zoro attempts to stop Imu, but he couldn’t even get passed Imu’s tail. And without looking at Zoro, Imu flicks an Omen at him, laying him out on the floor.
These Omens that Imu seems to be using are massive explosions of haki energy. We see the black lightning striking from it & every time this occurs, we see how massive of an explosion these are. This isn’t simply a powerful explosion, it’s also large than most things on Elbaph. Truly incredible!
Imu without effort takes out Zoro, Hajrudin, and Sanji with these omen explosives and even frees Gunko. Clearly, we are not going to be fighting Imu for long, but I am curious what Oda’s plans are for ending this arc.
Imu stated their goal was to retrieve Vivi. He also sees Blackbeard & Luffy as Davy & Joyboy respectively who have caused this world to turn upside down. Then in this chapter, Imu seems to want revenge for Harald’s death.
Will this simply be a fight between Imu & Loki? I think about what if Imu loses, wouldn’t their next thought be to use the supposed Uranus on Elbaph. Do they even have enough of the Mother Flame to fire off the weapon?
I really love that this chapter highlights that the world will completely change after this fight because whatever happens. One Piece will not be the same again.
