This article contains spoilers for One Piece’s manga.
Summary
- Imu emerges as the main villain in the intense Elbaf arc of One Piece, showcasing immense power.
- Dorry and Brogy, turned into slave demons by Imu, target Jarul, signaling a major death in the arc.
- Jarul, the oldest person alive in One Piece, faces imminent death unless saved from the approaching Dorry and Brogy.
One Piece is currently in its final saga in the manga, and the Straw Hat Pirates are on Elbaf, which many fans have already begun to consider the most intense of arcs in the story so far. This is, in large part, due to Imu’s appearance.
One Piece: Oda Confirms Luffy's Next Power-Up After Gear 5
Luffy will have a newer power up after Gear 5 as his enemies are only getting stronger in One Piece.
Given that the main antagonist of the series is here, it would be hard to avoid casualties at this point of the story, and this one character on Elbaf has major death flags that fans can’t overlook.
Elbaf Is One Of The Most Intense One Piece Arcs
- Imu Makes Their Entrance as The Main Villain
- Dorry and Brogy Turn Against Their Allies
Elbaf has been going on in the One Piece manga for about a year now, and fans almost can't believe how Oda has been managing to make every chapter more exciting than the previous one.
Elbaf has been very exciting from the beginning, with the introduction of characters like Loki and the Holy Knights, and even more so with huge reveals like Elbaf’s mural, but what has pushed this arc to a whole new level is the arrival of Imu in One Piece chapter 1149. Imu took over the body of Gunko, and has been wreaking havoc on Elbaf.
Upon their arrival, Imu immediately showcased just why they are considered the most powerful characters in One Piece. With their mage-like powers, Imu was able to easily take down Dorry and Brogy, whose combined bounties would be 3.6 billion berries.
This isn’t even the craziest part. Imu didn’t only take them down, but they also brought them back as slave demons. Now, Dorry and Brogy have turned on their allies, and things are only heating up more from here onwards.
An Important Character is Dying Soon In One Piece's Elbaf Arc
Jarul Has Huge Death Flags
As fans might know by now, Elbaf technically has no ruler. The last one was King Harald, the father of Loki and Hajrudin. Right now, one could say that Jarul is the one in charge of the island, even though he does not rule it. Jarul was the Captain of the Giant Pirates alongside Jorul before Dorry and Brogy.
As previously stated, Imu has turned Dorry and Brogy into slave demons, and upon doing that, Imu gave the two of them a very important order — to take down Jarul and proclaim themselves as Kings of Elbaf.
One Piece: Oda Has Already Revealed Zoro's Next Power Up, And It Is A New Haki
Zoro is about to get a major power up and it has to do with his haki in One Piece.
This is very bad news for Jarul. Jarul is very old right now, and can’t even defend himself against Dorry and Brogy normally, let alone the amped-up versions of them. This means if Dorry and Brogy reach him, he is most definitely going to die. This could be very soon, unless someone goes to save him.
After all, his equal, Jorul, was killed by a 5-year-old Big Mom over 50 years ago. There is no way Jarul could survive this attack, especially due to his old age which makes him the oldest living person alive in One Piece.
