One Piecechapter 1149 is here and it goes without saying that this week’s chapter has proven to be absolutely sensational. In fact, this chapter could easily be considered one of the greatest ones in the Final Saga, especially with terrible events unfolding towards the end.
One Piecefans were long waiting forthe Final villain of the Elbaf arcto finally show up. Even though the Holy Knights were in Elbaf already, something was clearly missing. These powerful villains didn’t feel like they were the main enemies of the arc, and the hunch of the fans has proven to be absolutely right. In fact, we, at Gamerant, predicted this exact twist about a month ago, and it is absolutely a sensation. Finally, the main villain of the Elbaf arc is here, and it is none other than the strongest One Piece character themself.
Imu Has Finally Arrived In Elbaf
When the Elbaf arc began, it appeared as if Shamrock Figarland was going to be the main villain of the arc. However, shortly after, Shamrock went back to Marijoa because of the situation that was unfolding there. Things were out of control, so the strongest needed to be summoned back. At the same time, two Holy Knights were called in his stead, those being Killingham and Sommers. While it goes without saying that both Killingham and Sommers are incredibly powerful, none of them exuded the same energy as the final villain of the Elbaf arc.
Elbaf will be brought to heel, no matter what! — Shamrock Figarland
This is one of the reasons why fans were unsure about the final villain of the arc. Now, however, it is clear that the trouble that Elbaf is facing right now is greater than the Holy Knights. In fact, the end of One Piece chapter 1149 all but confirmed the true final villain of the arc, and it is none other than the sovereign of the world, Imu.
Imu Is The Strongest Villain In The Whole Story
It goes without saying that Imu is incredibly powerful, and now, they’re in Elbaf. In One Piece chapter 1149, Imusuddenly started speaking to the Holy Knights, berating them for taking too long to deal with the Elbaf Giants, especially since they are in need of manpower. Since the group couldn’t do what was needed on time, Imu decided to possess her body. Now, Gunko is powered by Imu, which means that she’s infinitely stronger than anyone else in the story right now. Even the likes of Luffy cannot match Gunko at the moment, and it’ll be incredibly exciting to see how he manages it.
Mu will show you how a God rules! — Imu
By all means,Oda has finally officially revealed the main villain of the arc, and it is also the biggest and strongest villain in the whole story. Imu going all out in Elbaf is now inevitable, and it is only a matter of time before fans see what Imu is truly capable of, despite not having their own body.
