The first spoilers for chapter 1179 of One Piece have begun circulating, placing Imu at the center of the debate. The most mysterious figure in the World Government emerges with new visual clues and powers that increase the threat level within the work created by Eiichiro Oda.
According to initial reports, Imu appears atop a tower in Aurust Castle. Her presence releases an intense Conqueror's Haki energy, capable of affecting the surrounding environment. Elements such as houses and trees take on distorted shapes and dark expressions.
Imu's appearance and abilities
Spoilers indicate that Imu has a masculine appearance and features considered elegant for the character. He has long horns that curve into a shape similar to the letter "S". Furthermore, he wears no clothing on his upper body, only a cape with a partially visible symbol.
Another relevant detail involves his physiology. The character has tanned skin similar to the Lunarians and a demonic tail similar to the one seen in attacks against Sabo. Circular markings and tattoos also appear on his body, including a symbol on his face.
Powers and dark atmosphere
Imu also manifests dark hagoromo-type clouds, similar to those seen on awakened Zoan users like Lucci. However, these clouds possess eyes, creating an even more unsettling and unusual visual within the series.
Finally, the character uses a spear-type weapon with an irregular blade and curved tip. Another detail that draws attention is a trickle of blood running from his mouth, suggesting exhaustion or an unstable state.
