with official release one piece May 10, 2026 Shueisha Weekly Shonen Jump No. 24 Episode 1182The Elbaf arc of the series continues to expand the character of Nerona Imu and his incredibly powerful abilities. Introduced by Eiichiro Oda, the founder of Imu. one pieceThe most important Devil Fruit in the world of One Piece, named 'Devil's Fruit', has been revealed, making it an ability that surpasses all other abilities in the world of One Piece.
However, looking at Nerona Imu's incredible power throughout Chapters 1180, 1181, and 1182 of the Elbaf Arc, it becomes clear that he is currently officially the most powerful Haki user in the Grand Line. There are several statements and achievements in Elbaf's climax that directly support this.
In episodes 1180 and 1181 of One Piece, Nerona Imu was officially confirmed as the current strongest Haki user.
A person known as the king of the world and the true god of the world one piece In the world, Nerona Imu recorded his descent against Elbaf in chapter 1179, which was officially released by Shueisha in the 19th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump on April 6, 2026. This was a major development in the story that shocked me and most fans, as we had never expected Imu's arrival this early in the Final Saga. When Imu was officially introduced in the Reverie Arc eight years ago, the impression I got was that he was going to be the ultimate antagonist that the writers have traditionally saved for the final issue. Eiichiro Oda completely flipped the script by bringing Imu into the action, but at the same time exciting all of us fans in the process.

Most of Imu's power comes from his Akuma no Mi – his demon form, the power of Omen, a power he calls God's Dominion – but there is more to Imu than that. Nerona Imu is the ultimate fighter and currently the most powerful warrior in the world of One Piece, and much of that also extends to his Haki. As it stands, Nerona Imu has the most powerful Haki in the One Piece universe out of all the characters currently alive and existing within the Grand Line. First of all, Nero and Immu are the ultimate villains of One Piece, and as such, they have powers that even Loki and Luffy can't compete with at this point. This alone makes his hockey stronger than these two.
in one piece In episode 1180, which was officially revealed in the 21st issue of Weekly Shonen Jump and released on April 20, 2026, Imu displayed tremendous power in the fight against Loki. Even though Loki was Elbaf's warrior god, he could not withstand Imu's power and was easily overwhelmed. All of Imu's powerful attacks were charged with the colors of the Great King, and in almost all cases, Imu had the upper hand in the clash. This directly means that Imu's Haki is stronger than Loki's Haki.
The omen is my military might! The power that resides within all living things. — Nerona Immu, One Piece Episode 1181
one piece In Chapter 1181, it is officially revealed that Luffy has never felt Haki like Imu while sweating. The fact that Luffy is afraid of Imu's Haki and says that he has never felt such a strong presence is also a direct confirmation of the fact that Imu's Haki is much stronger than Kaido's, which he fought in the past.
“I need to eat more! I've never felt anything like this before! It's so heavy and rough! What is this guy's hockey?” — Monkey D. Luffy after feeling Immu's Haki in One Piece #1181
Some fans may think there is still a debate between characters like Nerona Imu and Shanks, but this debate was put to rest by Scopper Gaban himself in episode 1180. Gaban, who witnessed Haki's power after Imu's descent, directly stated that he had never felt Haki this strongly even when he was in God Valley 38 years ago.
In God Valley, Oda showed the strength of Haki and Rocks D. Xebec from Garp and Roger's Conquerors after Domi Reversed. Imu's own Haki was also felt through the body of Saturn at that time in 1164. Despite seeing such powerful and monstrous Haki users, Gaban officially claims that the Haki felt at Elbaf in 1180 was the most powerful and a completely different level of power.
what's the matter? I’ve never felt hockey like this before, not even in God Valley! — Scoffer Gavan, One Piece Chapter #1180
Likewise, after running Elbaf for a year and a half and witnessing a number of powerful Haki users, we can conclude that Nerona Imu is the most powerful of them all, and thus the most powerful Haki user in the entire Grand Line.
One Piece, Elbaf introduces the strongest duo of all time
There are many powerful duos in One Piece, but none can stand up to this overwhelming alliance revealed in Elbaf.
Nerona Imu's full Haki abilities have not yet been revealed in Elbaph.
Imu's Haki charged Akuma no Mi attack is already very impressive, like Gazing Eclipse in Chapter 1182, but let's not forget that it is currently in a very nerfed state. in one piece In chapter 1182, published on May 10, Sommers said that Imu's body should not be in the lower world because it would suffer greatly. Therefore, Imu is currently not using his full abilities. in fact, one piece In Chapter 1179, Imu is clearly seen vomiting blood as soon as he lands on Elbaf. This tells me that Imu is not at the peak of his powers. This also means that despite everything, his Conqueror's Haki is still not at its peak.
The Great Imu's body is not intended for external support. But even beyond that, the power we need and the power we need to destroy are all here. — Saint Somers, One Piece Chapter #1182
Only after Imu later regains his full strength. one pieceHis true power will be shown to us. If this level of hockey is already the strongest, I shudder to think what Imu will show later in the Final Saga.

In episode 1122 of One Piece, it was revealed that only Joyboy's Haki was superior to Immu's.
With Imu's incredible powers in the Elbaf Arc, it is very clear to us that he is currently the most powerful Supreme King user in all of One Piece. However, speaking of the entire series, and Void Century in particular, there is one character where Haki surpasses Imu, and that is Joyboy. In Episode 1122 of One Piece, which was officially released in Issues 36-37 of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump on August 5, 2024, Joyboy's Haki sealed within Emes was properly revealed for the first time.

This Haki was so strong that it split the sky on its own, canceled the abilities of all five elders, sent four of them back to Mariejoa, knocked down all the mid-generals around Egghead, and most of all, directly inflicted tremendous pain on the body of Imu, who was sitting in the Mariejoa Shrine thousands of miles away. To this day, Joy Boy's Haki feats are still the best, which ranks him as the strongest Haki user of all time in One Piece. However, Joy Boy died 800 years ago on May 27, 2024, as confirmed in One Piece Chapter 1115. With his death, the War of the Void Century has come to an end, which means he is not currently playing for the most powerful Haki users in One Piece. Following Joy Boy's death, Nerona Imu established her rule over the world and now reigns as the most powerful Supreme King user in the Grand Line.
