The first spoilers for chapter 1178 of One Piece indicate a direct confrontation involving Luffy and Imu. Titled "It Was a Nightmare," the chapter presents important advancements in the battle on Elbaf and new details about the antagonist's power.

• One Piece reveals the opening of the Elbaf arc in March
• One Piece chapter 1178 will feature Luffy vs. Imu in battle

On the cover, Kid appears accompanied by a bull, while the main narrative moves to the battlefield. Luffy repositions Brook and Usopp alongside Sanji's group, while Loki attempts to attack Imu, but fails to hit his enemy.

Imu reveals a new form and faces Luffy

During the confrontation, Imu assumes a black form similar to the one seen in God Valley. He then attacks Luffy and Loki directly, using an ability called Domi Reversi, which seemingly has no effect. Luffy responds with a Gatling-style strike, while Loki, in human form, uses Ragnar to freeze Imu.

Despite the impact, Imu's black body disappears from the ice. The situation in Elbaf begins to stabilize, suggesting a momentary pause in the chaos of the battle.

Meanwhile, Saul and Robin arrive at the library, but find it empty. Furthermore, Zoro and his group advance against the Domi Reversi army, with Chopper helping to finish off the remaining enemies. Sommers shows signs of recovery, raising questions about his true nature.

In the end, Luffy returns to his exhausted state after expending all his energy. In Mary Geoise, Imu informs the Gorosei that she will be temporarily leaving the castle.
