This article contains spoilers for One Piece.
the last saga one piece It revealed a ton of interesting information about the world government, especially the Imu at the top. Fans know Imu is incredibly powerful. This became clear in the God Valley incident. But at the same time, Imu can also make other people around her very strong. This can be done through special seals or marks that can be given to others.
One Piece: Oda Confirms New User of Imu's Power, And It's a Yonko
Imu can grant powerful abilities. One of the users of the power granted by Imu is Yonko from One Piece.
This is first mentioned at the beginning of the Elbaf Arc. The arrival of paladins in the country. But little was explained at the time. in one piece Chapter 1167, Oda continued his explanation. Power of World Government Mark or Seal It is no exaggeration to say that properly communicating this to fans is an extremely dangerous task.
Imu grants three different layers of authority through contracts.
Simply put, Imu can brand people with certain markings on their bodies. It grants various abilities. This is made clear by Gunko at the beginning of the Elbaf Arc. However, at the time, it was not clear what powers could be gained from these seals, or whether there were different types of seals that Imu could display on people.
Allow Mu to show you the power of God! — Saint Imo Nerona
in one piece Episode 1167Now it's confirmed Three types of contracts exist, each representing a different ocean depth.. The deeper the type of seal, the stronger the abilities you gain from it.
There are three types of seals: Shallow Sea, Deep Sea, and Abyssal.Each provides unique privileges to the user.
- shallow sea: Shallow seals are the most basic of the three seals. And that's very evident at the depth level. This power is granted to newcomers to the world government, especially God's Blade. It was first introduced to fans during the God Valley incident. God's BladeIt was none other than Gunko. It is very clear that every trainee is given this seal. They don't get the full power of Imu. They could certainly pass through the abyss, or even receive the power of a devil fruit. Whether or not they regenerate is yet to be seen.
- deep waters: The second level of the seal is the deep sea. People with this level of seal are probably holy knights. This means: They gain powers such as infinite regeneration and immortality.. In addition, devil fruit abilities can be mixed in, and of course, you can also pass through the abyss.
- abyss: The final and most powerful level of the World Government Seal is the Abyssal.And this is also the deepest level of the ocean. This seal likely belonged to the Five Elders and possibly even Gunko. Perhaps it will completely stop aging, grant immortality and regeneration, and, most of all, Yokai's power. also Imu's Conqueror's Haki can also be channeled through this sigil.. The five elders appear to be mentally connected to each other, which is also the ability of the Abyss Seal.
You can pass through the abyss with Immu's contract.
Another important power that the Seal of the World Government grants to its bearer is the ability to pass through the Abyss. This gives you the ability to instantly teleport.As seen in Egghead's Five Elders and Elbaf's Holy Knights.
Say hello to One Piece's new Nika after Monkey D. Luffy
Monkey D. Luffy isn't the only Nika from One Piece. Oda introduces another character who can transform into Nika.
Imu's Contract is a Hint at the Sea Devil's Power
All these seals are named after different depths of the sea, and considering the fact that this power comes from Imu: The power of Imu itself is connected to the sea itself.. This would make the idea that Imu is a sea demon in the One Piece universe very plausible.
Mu won't do anything. You must kill your wife and child. — Imu Turox
This also leaves room for many interesting theories surrounding Imu's character, which are sure to be discussed extensively in the coming weeks.
