Chapter 1180 of One Piece brings a direct advancement in the confrontation on Elbaph. In the story, we can expect Nerona Imu to face Zoro's group, escalating the conflict. The manga is written by Eiichiro Oda and published in Weekly Shonen Jump since 1997.
Right at the start, the villain Imu appears before Zoro's group and attacks Gerd to free Sommers. During the fight, the blow is brutal and results in the character losing some of her fingers. The scene reinforces the level of threat presented by the mysterious ruler.
Direct confrontation with Zoro
Zoro reacts immediately using the "King of Hell: Oni Giri" technique, but Imu easily blocks the attack. Then, he creates a black flame called "Omen" and launches it at the swordsman. The impact hits Zoro's face, injuring him.
Imu's supernatural power
Furthermore, Imu uses "Omen" to revive Sommers and then creates black wings to fly. Elsewhere on the battlefield, he encounters Sanji's group and revives Killingham. Sanji attempts to counterattack with a kick, but Imu responds with black flames, causing an immediate explosion.
Chapter 1180 will premiere on April 19, 2026 on Manga Plus .
