One Piece: Oda Has Revealed The Biggest Power In The Series, And It's Not Haki Or Devil Fruit
Oda reveals a major power in the One Piece series, and it's neither devil fruit nor haki.
Of course, this isn't the final battle in the story and Imu hasn't truly made their move in their own body either, but this battle is still going to be groundbreaking, and fans already know that. In the next few chapters of the story, Oda will give the fans a look at Luffy Vs Imu, and for those wondering how Luffy can overcome Imu, the answer might already have been revealed by Oda.
Luffy Vs Imu Is About To Happen In Elbaf
- Imu Took Control Of Gunko
- Luffy Has Already Sensed Imu's Presence
When the Elbaf arc began, few were expecting for Luffy Vs Imu to happen here. After all, the main antagonist of the arc wasn't even clear. However, when the Holy Knights showed up, the picture became clear. Shamrock Figarland was considered by many to be the main villain of the arc, but as soon as he departed, it became clear that Oda had plans for something even bigger. Since the Five Elders had made an appearance in the Egghead arc already, Oda most certainly wouldn't use them as the main antagonists in this arc. This is where the room for Imu coming to Elbaf opened up, and it was also predicted successfully by us a month before it actually happened.
Allow Mu to show thee the dominance of a God! — Imu
It wasn't long after the attack of the Holy Knights began in Elbaf that Oda brought Imu to the country. Immediately after Gunko got access to her memories, Imu took over and then started wreaking havoc in the country. Their presence is being felt everywhere, and even Luffy, who is currently in the Underworld of Elbaf, knows that Imu is here.
Luffy Might Turn Enemies Into Allies Using The Power Of Nika
Luffy Vs Imu Could Be A Game
At the moment, the situation in Elbaf is quite dire. Imu's strength in itself poses a big problem for all the fans, but there are other things to worry about. Imu has used Domi Reversi, and using this power, they have started to turn all the Giants into enemies of Elbaf. All of them have been turned into demons with immortality and tremendous strength.

One Piece's End Is Close, But Oda Has Already Planned For A Continuation Of The Story
One Piece is in its final saga, and Oda is already planning to continue his story.
The situation in Elbaf is hopeless right now, but Luffy can save the day with a special power, and that is Gear 5. It must be noted that the main power rod Gear 5 is the fantasy of Nika. Anything he can imagine can become reality. As such, if Imu is turning Giants into demons, Luffy should be able to turn them into white gods, like Nika. This could start a big battle of Reversi in Elbaf, with all of this being represented on the game board that fans saw in One Piece chapter 1151.
Round 1 Of Luffy Vs Imu Will Be Decided Soon
Luffy will most certainly get his own army of Giant Nika gods in Elbaf, and after that, manage to push back Imu. Since Imu isn't in their own body, they will likely be nerfed and thus forced to retreat, setting the stage for a proper final battle later down the line.

However, the vast majority of international readers will see the chapter available on June 25. The official release date of One Piece Chapter 1152 is June 25, 2025.
