The recent chapter 1180 of One Piece delves deeper into the confrontation on Elbaph and reveals new abilities of the entity Nerona Imu . The work is an action manga created by Eiichiro Oda and published in Weekly Shonen Jump since 1997.
Right at the beginning of the spoilers, the villain Imu arrives at the western village and questions the giants about the king of the country. Then, he finds Sommers in Gerd's hands and executes a quick attack with his spear, cutting off the character's fingers and knocking Sommers down.
Direct confrontation Imu vs. Zoro
Hajrudin tries to react right away, but Stansen intervenes and ends up injured in the process. Zoro goes into action with "Enou Santoryu: Rengoku Oni Giri," but Imu blocks the attack with the tip of his tail. Soon after, he creates the black flame "Omen" and hits Zoro directly.
Imu's supernatural power
Furthermore, Imu uses "Omen" in different ways, causing explosions and even instantly restoring Sommers. The power also manifests as a ring of black flames with eyes on his back. At another point, he creates dark wings and flies towards Gunko, firing an attack that generates a large explosion.
Next, Imu finds Killingham and revives him with the same power. Sanji attempts a direct kick, but Imu blocks and counterattacks with black flames, causing another explosion. The chapter then moves on to the encounter with Loki, who reveals a connection to Harald, the former king of Elbaph.
The final confrontation pits Loki against Imu, forcing him to take responsibility for the past and igniting a new tension within the battle.
Therefore, chapter 1180 will premiere on April 19, 2026 on Manga Plus .
