One Piece: The 39 strongest characters in the series

These are the strongest characters sailing the seas of the One Piece world.

How the disappearance of five major characters in Nerona Imu shows the creators need to get a lot stronger.

One Piece Episode 1180 shocked many fans because it showed how strong Immu was. If there's any doubt, Nero or Imu are the strongest characters in the world. one pieceAnd recent research has proven beyond doubt. In just a few seconds, Imu was able to wipe out five of Elbaf's powerful figures. The first to fall to Imu was Gerd, whose finger was cut off by the King of the World. In the blink of an eye, her fingers had already touched the floor, and the St. Somers she was holding had already been released. Likewise, Hajrudin decided to attack Nerona Imu, but was rescued by Stansen and ended up losing a leg in the process. The third person to fall was Hazruddin himself, who was attacked by the special powers of an imu known as Maki, who appeared to be an evolved form of Haki.

Rononoa Zoro, the Straw Hat swordsman and the second strongest member of the group, attacked Imu with all his might using the Hell King Three Swordsmanship. To the surprise of fans, this attack was easily blocked by the King of the World, leaving the swordsman bleeding with a single strike from Imu no Maki. Imu continued his attack, eliminating Sanji in a matter of seconds. Imu was able to block the mighty Ifrit Zambe and retaliate with a kick to his Haki, completely defeating him.

In a matter of seconds, Imu defeats Gerd, Hajrudin, Stansen, Zoro, and Sanji, and their bounty totals well over two billion berries. For Imu to do this without even utilizing his full power shows how strong he really is, and more than that, it shows that the Straw Hats are not yet ready to face the World Government in direct combat.

Why the Straw Hat Pirates must aim higher than any other Yonko gang in the final saga.

It is clear that the Straw Hat Pirates are strong as a group of Yonko, but they are not yet at a level where they can fight against Imu and his demonic forces in the context of defeating the world government and liberating the world. It is for this reason that Eiichiro Oda has to give each of the Straw Hats powerful power-ups. Starting with Luffy, Oda must make sure that Haki gets to the next level and that Gear 5's time limit is completely removed. Zoro must learn how to better control the Conqueror's Haki, as well as how to bring his own demonic powers originating from Asura to the surface. Sanji must infuse the Demon's Kick with the Conqueror's Haki to evolve it into something more powerful.

Meanwhile, other crew members must also develop in their own way. At the very least, the entire crew needs Haki to combat the demonic influence of the Imu forces. Moreover, some of them, especially Devil Fruit users, need to push their abilities beyond all limits and trigger a Devil Fruit Awakening. This especially applies to Nico Robin.

Even after awakening all of this power, it may not be enough for the Straw Hat Pirates to defeat Imu and the World Government, but they can at least pose a greater threat. After chapter 1180, the Straw Hats will soon get a new power-up. Because as each chapter passes, World War I gets closer and Luffy's group needs to prepare.
