What especially has fans hooked is the God Valley Incident, which is currently unfolding, after years of waiting. This flashback has showcased everything, from intriguing lore to some of the most exciting clashes. Now, it has reached its peak with Imu’s entrance in God Valley. Imu’s strength is such that the strongest alliance ever was needed to fight against him. This strongest alliance was made up of Rocks D. Xebec, Kaido, Big Mom, Whitebeard, Roger, and Garp, and they all joined hands to attack Imu, However, it did absolutely nothing to the secret sovereign of the world.

  • An Alliance Was Formed to Land an Attack on Imu
  • The Combined Attack Was Unsuccessful

The God Valley Incident has been, for years, something that fans wanted to see unfold in the manga, and after years of making the fans wait, Oda has finally given them a proper look at this exact part of the story. Initially, fans assumed Rocks D. Xebec or the Holy Knights to be the main villains of this event, but the truth has proven to be far more complicated than that. Imu, the secret sovereign of the world, is God Valley’s real big villain. Imu channeled their powers through Saturn, and it’s quite clear to see that the secret sovereign of the world is the strongest person present on this island. Imu is so strong that the strongest alliance ever has been formed to try and land a defeating blow on them.

In One Piece 1163, Rocks D. Xebec led the attack on Imu, and he was joined by his loyal subordinates Big Mom, Whitebeard, and Kaido. But, just in their firepower wasn't impressive enough, Oda also added Roger and Garp to the group. All of these characters are Yonko-level, aside from maybe Kaido, and some are even beyond that level. Despite that, this attack amounted to nothing, and Imu sustained no real damage. This all goes to show that Imu is the final villain of One Piece and that no one alone can rival him.

Imu is so powerful that even the alliance of six of One Piece’s strongest couldn’t put a small dent in him. Naturally, this paints quite a scary picture for what's to come for Luffy at the end of One Piece. After all, Imu has to go down before One Piece’s conclusion. While Rocks D. Xebec, Kaido, Big Mom, Whitebeard, Roger, and Garp are the strongest known alliance right now, Luffy’s future alliance in the final war will most likely surpass them. As hinted at in the Elbaf mural, Luffy will have many overpowered allies, including the likes of Shirahoshi, Loki, Hancock, and maybe even Blackbeard. Whatever alliance Oda is planning will surpass what fans saw in One Piece 1163.
