One Piece Fans Speculate About the Identity of Imu’s Closest Ally

Despite One Piece’s clear indication that Imu’s identity is only known to the Gorosei, observant fans have noticed one individual who appears to have a stronger connection with him.

Despite being the sole ruler of the world, Imu remains a mysterious figure who occupies the Empty Throne at Mary Geoise. His existence is shrouded in secrecy, known only to the Gorosei and unknown to the rest of the world in One Piece.

Despite this, there is another individual who is more familiar with Imu than anyone else. This individual serves as Imu’s maid or servant, and like their master, they are always depicted as a silhouette. Therefore, their identity and gender remain unknown to us.

It is a rare sight to see anyone in the Room of Flowers with Imu. This individual is the only one granted access, even the Gorosei are not permitted to enter the shadow ruler’s private domain.

Therefore, this individual is privy to many secrets that others are not aware of, such as the knowledge of Lily’s portrait in the room and the devastating impact of Joyboy’s Haki on Imu.

In Chapter 1122, the characters can be observed frantically calling for their master as Imu collapses to the ground when Emeth uses Joyboy’s Haki on Egghead Island. This particular scene has raised numerous inquiries about the individual’s relationship with Imu and their significance.

One fan on X pointed out that this servant is often overlooked in discussions. They have been a constant presence by his side and are one of the few people to whom Imu has shown vulnerability. It is possible that their relationship is even closer than we think.

Another person in the group remarked, “Based on what we’ve observed, not even the Gorosei are able to get as close to Imu as this.”

The third person speculated that the person standing close to Imu must be their wife, as it is the only way they could imagine Imu allowing someone to be that close. The third person also noted that the two individuals appeared to be dressed similarly, despite only being visible as silhouettes.

The fourth person chimed in, stating that they had been asking the same question since Chapter 908.

With the hope of Imu’s true identity being revealed, the mystery surrounding the servant may finally be solved. In the meantime, be sure to watch the series’ heartwarming friendship and the exciting conclusion of the Egghead Arc.
