Imu’s Possible Connection in One Piece Chapter 1122

On August 5, 2024, One Piece chapter 1122 revealed a lot in just a few panels, making it overwhelming. The chapter showcased the downfall of prominent figures, with Imu being the center of attention as they fell to the ground upon sensing JoyBoy’s Conqueror’s Haki.

Additionally, the panel featuring Imu’s despair revealed an intriguing detail – a mysterious figure rushing towards the World Government leader, clearly concerned for Imu’s safety. This same figure was also present in the initial panel introducing Imu, suggesting that they may hold a greater significance or rank in Imu’s eyes than even the Gorosei.

During a short conversation with Luffy regarding JoyBoy’s ambitions, Emeth untied a knot in One Piece chapter 1122, causing the release of JoyBoy’s Conqueror’s Haki. The inaugural pirate of the Grand Line had bestowed this power upon the Iron Giant as a means of safeguarding others from possible harm. Prior to unleashing the Haki, Emeth reassured Luffy that he would always protect him from harm.

Once he unleashed the Haki, the bystanders on Egghead Island were rendered unconscious by its force. Not only that, but the Haki also disrupted Saint Saturn’s summoning spell and returned the summoned Gorosei to Mariejois.

The Haki continued its journey through the Grand Line and eventually arrived at Mariejois. There, Imu was knocked to the ground by the force of its impact. As Imu cried out in pain from JoyBoy’s Conqueror’s Haki, a mysterious figure began to approach the leader of the World Government.

During Imu’s initial appearance in chapter 906, the same figure was also present. Based on this consistent presence, it can be speculated that this figure holds a higher authority than even the Five Elders. Furthermore, it seems likely that this figure possesses a strong will, as evidenced by their ability to withstand the impact of JoyBoy’s Haki when Imu was incapacitated by a reminder from the past.

So, who might this figure be? Some fans believe that this person is connected to the Amazon Lily, as Imu is often seen in a garden surrounded by butterflies, just like Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress. In certain scenes, butterflies can also be seen flying around Boa. It is possible that this enigmatic figure is a former Pirate Empress whom Imu has taken control of.

It has been suggested that this character may be Nami’s biological mother, as there is no information about her. It is possible that Nami inherited her talent for forging maps from her mother, similar to how Usopp inherited his sniping skills from his father. This talent for map-making could be one of the reasons why Imu has kept Nami’s mother in their company.

Concluding Remarks

The enigmatic individual could potentially be a servant of Imu tasked with tending to the needs of the World Government leader. However, the fact that it was unaffected by the JoyBoy’s Conqueror’s Haki raises questions about its strength. In the series, there are few characters capable of withstanding the force of Conqueror’s Haki, making it difficult to determine the identity of this mysterious figure.
