In chapter 908 Oda did introduce Imu, the character that seems to be in charge of the
World Government.
His position is higher than the position of the Gorosei, they were kneeling before him
and asking for orders.
In order for Imu to hold such high authority, he has to be special one way or the other.
Whether he is very powerful or very smart or Immortal.
Oda did introduce the idea of immortality in the story with Dr. Kureha, although not
in a serious way and it is not confirmed why she is living so long.
But in the Dressrosa arc, Oda did confirm that immortality does exist in One Piece World.
And it can be achieved through the power of devil fruit.
This devil fruit is called Ope Ope No Mi, the current user of this devil fruit is Law.
Doflamingo wanted this devil fruit because according to him this is how he can use the
National Treasure of Mary Geoise.
I made a video about that and what is the national treasure of Mary Geoise, so if you
want to watch that video the link will be in the description.
Now one thing that is important to note here is that about the power of devil fruits Oda
said in SBS that a certain professor will explain how they work.
So, this means that their powers are based on science fiction and not on fantasy.
Which means that the power of Ope Ope no mi does not make you truly immortal, because
there is a big difference between being immortal from the science fiction perspective and the
fantasy perspective.
Being immortal in fantasy world means that no matter what, you cannot die, basically
the impossible is possible.
While in science fiction world there are plenty of ways to be killed even though you are immortal.
Here's how I think the immortality works in One Piece.
Once the operation is performed successfully on a person, then I think that person will
not age from that point forward.
If he was 40 years old, he will remain 40 years old forever.
So, this means time will not affect him.
And also I don't think that person can get sick and this is how he can live forever.
But that person, he is not bulletproof or that sword cannot pierce him, because then
we are crossing into the realm of fantasy.
And Oda said the power of devil fruits will be explained by a professor.
And now do I think that Imu is immortal?
Yes, I do.
Doflamingo did learn about the power of this devil fruit in Mary Geoise.
His main goal for wanting to become immortal is to be able to use the National Treasure
of Mary Geoise.
If no one in Mary Geoise is immortal than this treasure is not treasure.
If they cannot use it and no good came out of it then what's the point?
And why they are so afraid, if the world were to learn about the existence of it.
And Doflamingo was not the only one after the Ope Ope no mi, the World Government was
as well.
When Corazon told Sengoku about the devil fruit, Sengoku was shocked and said that is
top secret business.
When that operation is performed on someone then the doctor dies, this is the price to
pay for giving someone immortality.
As we know after the user of the devil fruit dies, the power of that devil fruit will appear
on another random fruit.
And the fact that the World Government was after this devil fruit this could mean that
the operation was performed on someone.
And that's why they did not have the Ope Ope no Mi in their possession.
If Imu is not alone then maybe they did use the power of this devil fruit to make immortal
a new member or maybe their children.
Anyway, the things that I did mention at the beginning of the video whether Imu is very
powerful or very smart or immortal.
I think immortality makes more sense.
It has to be one of those things in order for things to make sense, why he has such
a high position in the World Government.
One of the reasons why I think so is the interaction between him and the Gorosei.
It did not seem that they were kneeling just due to his position.
But because of who he is and what he is capable of.
Anyway, as I did mention earlier that immortality in science fiction is not absolute as it is
in fantasy so there are problems or can be undone.
When I first saw Imu in those clothes I thought Oda is trying to hide who he is, which is
normal, this technique is used a lot.
For example, Oda did the same with Garp, before being revealed that he is the grandfather
of Luffy.
He wore that dog hat, and when it was revealed who he is, he never wore that hat again.
And I thought maybe the same is with Imu because those clothes do not look normal.
But in the floor room, we can see someone else there that is wearing similar clothes.
So, it could be that those clothes are not to hide who he is but that's what they wear.
With the Tenryuubitos Oda has done something similar, they all wear the same clothes, so
maybe is the same for the people like Imu.
I have a video where I talk about who actually are the real creators of the World Government,
I don't think that Imu is alone.
The link will be in the description if you want to watch that video.
One of the devil fruits that the World Government is after is Bonney's devil fruit.
When Bonney was captured by Akainu, he said: "When I heard that you had fled the government
a chill went down my spine".
This shows how important is her devil fruit to them.
So, what if something went wrong and their immortality is starting to wear off because
as I said before there is a big difference between the immortality in science fiction
and in fantasy.
They are not dying but their bodies are getting older.
And this is where Bonney's devil fruit comes into play because she can make them younger
again, and that's why she is so important to them.
But is there other ways how someone's immortality can be undone or at least cause problems.
Yes, I think there are and one of the ways is with Devil Fruit, Yami Yami no Mi.
The current user of this devil fruit is Blackbeard.
One of the powers that this devil fruit has is that it can negate the power of the other
devil fruits.
So, what will happen if Blackbeard would touch someone who is immortal?
Will they die?
When Blackbeard did touch Ace, his devil fruit power was nonexistent.
But since the power of the devil fruit resides within his body, when Blackbeard was not touching
him everything went back to normal.
But since those who are immortal, they are using the power of someone's else devil
fruit and not from within their bodies.
If Blackbeard will negate their immortality while he is touching them, when he will let
go, will their immortality return or not?
I think that if Blackbeard were to touch them and try to negate their immortality, he will
be successful but only as long as he is touching them.
I don't think they will die but will fall into a coma.
Imu was holding in his hand two wanted posters one was of Luffy's and the other we can
assume was of Blackbeard's.
And he left them in the flower room, where we saw other wanted posters and pictures.
We know why Imu had the wanted poster of Luffy in his hand but why he was holding the wanted
poster of Blackbeard as well, since he has not done anything big recently.
Besides, being both Ds.
I think Imu was holding Blackbeard's wanted poster because of his devil fruit power, the
Yami Yami no Mi.
Because as I said earlier that this devil fruit can cause them problems.
But about the reason why he was holding the wanted poster of Luffy is not just because
what did happen with Big Mom.
And I think this is a hint that Imu is immortal, he was alive during the void century.
When he saw the straw hat that Luffy was wearing, he went to that building to see if they are
similar, so he did remember something.
That straw hat in Mary Geoise has to be there since the void century before the world government
was created because otherwise how did it get there?
One of the people who could belong that straw hat is Joyboy.
And I think Imu fought against Joyboy and when he saw that straw hat on Luffy.
He went to check it out are they really similar and based on his reaction, he did not seem
happy about it.
There are two other possible hints in this chapter about Imu being immortal, and those
are Shirahoshi and Vivi.
Let's start with Shirahoshi.
Alongside with the wanted posters of Luff and Blackbeard, you can see the picture of
Shirahoshi, her picture is pierced by a sword.
And Oda made sure that everyone will notice that because he did draw it in two panels.
We know that in the past the Ancient Weapon Poseidon was in contact with Joyboy.
He did promise them that he will get them out of there and live on the surface like
other humans.
But he could not keep his promise, this was probably because the Ancient Kingdom did lose
the war.
So, since Poseidon at that time was allied with the Ancient Kingdom and against the 20
kingdoms, Imu is seeing Shirhoshi in the same light as he saw her.
But he did act differently towards the picture of Vivi, her picture was not cut like the
others and he did take it with him.
And while he was holding he was thinking.
I think it could be that Vivi does resemble her ancestor, the queen or the princes of
Alabasta Kingdom of that time.
And that's why he was thinking and maybe he has good memories and that's why he took
it with him.
The Gorosei was hinting that the Alabasta Kingdom might share the same fate as Ohara.
One of the Gorosei says:" The Nefertari Family were the only ones of the founding
20 members who decided to remain on the surface 800 years ago, in other words, they are traitors".
And then the guy with the sword says: "The balance of the world cannot be maintained
forever.
It seems like there is a need for a great cleansing."
I think there is a reason why the Nefertari Family did decide to remain in their country
and Imu knows about it.
So, I don't think he will treat the Alabasta Kingdom like the other kingdoms.
And he might reveal why Nefertari Family did decide to stay in their country.
It could be that they did remain in their country to protect the poneglyph that is there,
in order for the message and the information of the Ancient Kingdom to be hidden from the
world.
Because as long as they are there other people cannot find that poneglyph.
So, that could be the reason why they did remain in their country and not because they
are traitors as one of the Gorosei was saying.
Anyway, this is it for this video.
What do you think about what I said?
Do you agree or disagree or you have something else to add?
