One Piece’sFinal Saga means that the story is going to focus on the biggest of antagonists, such as the Admirals, Yonko, Five Elders, and the Holy Knights. When it comes to the final saga, one group that the fans were eager to see in action were the Five Elders. Undoubtedly, the Five Elders are monstrously powerful individuals, and their strength is unbelievable.
In Egghead, Oda gave the fans a good look at what they’re capable of doing, and it is safe to say that the fans are utterly amazed by their skills.While their Yokai abilities are incredibly impressive, what’s even more exciting about them is their immortality. Fans we’re quite confused to see the Five Elders, and later on, the Holy Knights to be immortal as well. Now, Oda has finally explained how they gained this ability.
Imu Grants Immortality And Yokai Abilities Through Magic
InOne Piece’sElbaf arc, which is currently being focused on in the story, fans were finally treated with an appearance from Imu themself. It was quite shocking to see the main villain of the whole story pop up as the main antagonist here, but their arrival opened up a new door in the story. Clearly, Oda had to show the fans the powers that Imu possessed, and he did just that. In doing so, Oda has now also confirmedhow the Five Elders and the Holy Knights are immortal.
Allow Mu to show thee the dominance of a God! — Imu
To put things simply, Imu is the demon god of theOne Pieceworld. As the leader of the demons and the ruler of the world, Imu can use many interesting abilities, but the vast majority of their powers actually come from magic. This might come as a shock to some, but Imu is truly a powerful mage, as seen inOne Piecechapter 1150. Imu can use the power of evil to destroy their enemies, but at the same time, Imu can also turn others into their eternal slaves. All this can be accomplished via the magic book, which allows Imu to sign a Demon Contract with anyone. It is through this Demon Contract that Imu can turn anyone into their loyal follower, regardless of whether or not they want to do it.
Imu’s Demon Contract Takes Away Lifespan
Imu Grants Immortality In Exchange
Through magic,Imu can use a demon contract on anyone, whether willingly or unwillingly. Those who are targeted by this ability end up losing their lifespan, and how much of it is lost depends on Imu. In exchange for the loss in lifespan, however, they gain immortality from Imu. In fact, Immortality isn’t even the only power they get. They also gain access to increased strength. At the same time, they lose all reasoning and logic, and follow Imu without free will. Such is the power of Imu.
In exchange for a fleeting lifespan, thou shall gain an immortal body and prodigious strength! — Imu
How the Five Elders and Holy Knights Gained Immortality
It is quite clear to seethat the Five Elders willingly signed the Demon Contractwith Imu. This allowed them to have Immortality, and on top of that, immense powers too. Imu likely also gave them the Yokai powers, although how they can do that remains to be seen for now.
Imu Is The Demon God Of One Piece
It is clear to see that Imu is the demon god of theOne Pieceworld, anda complete opposite to Luffy. With Elbaf now in ruin, it is only a matter if f time before Luffy and the others come back up to the Sun Realm, and when he does that, Imu will finally have a worthy rival.
