Imu Rules The World Of One Piece Right Now

Fans know very well that Imu is the most important villain in theOne Piecestory so far. Ever since Imu was introduced during the Reverie arc, their role has only been growing more, and now, it can be said that Oda has finally decided to incorporate them intothe main plot against the Straw Hat Pirates, as seen with the Elbaf arc.

Allow Mu to show thee the dominance of a God! — Imu

Imu is incredibly powerful, known to be a relic from the Void Century, and especially the ruler of the whole World Government. Everything in the world moves according to their wishes, and they’re called the creators of the world as well. Naturally, given that Imu stood against Joy Boy, it is no surprise to know that fans often associate them with the final villain. After all, Imu is fully deserving of the role and might well play it.

But, things could take a drastic turn in the story, especially now that extremely special information has been revealed by Oda about another special character, Rocks D. Xebec.

Rocks D. Xebec Is The Most Menacing Figure In History

Rocks Was Stronger Than Even Roger And Whitebeard

After years of making the fans wait, Oda has finally introduced Rocks D. Xebec in the story properly withOne Piecechapter 1154. It can be said thatRocks is an absolute monster, given that their strength was painted to be even higher than that of Whitebeard and Roger.One Piecechapter 1154 hyped up Rocks even more as fans were told that he managed to kill a Navy Admiral before even hitting his peak years and forming the Rocks Pirates crew.

He killed a Navy Admiral single-handedly, and vanished in thin air. This earned him a huge bounty. — Narrator

Even Roger couldn’t beat Rocks on his own, and quite clearly, such a figure must’ve been a major threat to the World Government. Rocks must’ve been incredibly close to the same power level as Joy Boy, and if that is the case, then Imu must’ve been incredibly threatened by him.

Of course, it is said that 38 years ago, Rocks D. Xebec met his end at God Valley, where hewas beaten by Roger and Garp. But, the full truth about this has never been shown.

Rocks’s Death Was Never Fully Confirmed

Oda never truly confirmed Rocks’s Death inOne Piece. All he said was that God Valley vanished after the events of the incident. Of course, Sengoku believes that Rocks is no longer with them, but that is his perspective, not a fact, especially since Sengoku wasn’t even on God Valley, and the only person who was,Garp, refuses to talk about the event.

In many ways, Rocks could still be alive and pave the way for a major war that is going to start soon inOne Piece. In that case, Rocks could be the lurking legend that Oda talked about years ago, and he could very well stand inthe path of all the powerful Yonko, or maybe even better revealed as the ultimate antagonist of the Final Saga. All possibilities are on the table right now, and things couldn’t be more exciting.
