The latest One Piece chapter spoilers have arrived, and they show the World Government’s ruler taking direct action. Imu Sama has entered the battlefield on Elbaf, and the results are devastating for the Straw Hat crew. The spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1180 reveal that Imu easily defeats two of the crew’s strongest fighters. The chapter also ends with the start of a major fight between Imu and Loki, the cursed prince of Elbaf.
Imu Arrives on Elbaf to Save the God’s Knights
One Piece Chapter 1180, titled “Omen”, shows Imu moving quickly across the battlefield. The God’s Knights, including Sommers and Killingham, were earlier defeated by the Straw Hats and the giants. Imu comes to Elbaf to rescue them.
Imu first goes to the area where Zoro and the giants are. Gerd, a giant warrior, gets attacked by Imu. The ruler cuts off several of her fingers to free Sommers. This shows that Imu does not care about anyone standing in the way.
Zoro and Sanji Get Overpowered in Seconds
The spoilers confirm that both Zoro and Sanji lose badly against Imu. This is a rare moment, as both fighters are usually shown as being very strong.
Zoro uses his powerful move, “Enma Three Sword Style: Purgatory Oni Slash”, to attack Imu. But Imu easily stops the attack with their tail. After blocking, Imu creates a small black flame called “Omen” and throws it at Zoro’s face. The attack makes Zoro’s face bleed.
Sanji does not do much better. When he kicks Imu, the ruler blocks with one leg. Then Imu hits Sanji with a kick that has black flames around it. The attack causes a large explosion. Both of Luffy’s top fighters go down without hurting Imu at all.
Imu Shows New Powers: Black Flames and Flight
One Piece Chapter 1180 gives fans a look at what Imu can really do. The ruler shows several new abilities in this single chapter.
Imu creates black flames called “Omen.” These flames can hurt enemies, but they can also heal allies. Imu uses this power to bring back Sommers and Killingham from the brink of defeat. This makes Imu both an attacker and a healer on the battlefield.
Imu also grows black wings from their back and flies across Elbaf. This confirms that Imu has a devil fruit power, likely a mythical zoan type. The wings let Imu move from one fight to the next very quickly.
The Final Confrontation: Imu vs Loki
The chapter ends with Imu standing face to face with Loki. The spoilers say the chapter finishes with these two powerful figures looking at each other, ready to fight.
Loki has been recovering his strength. Now he must face the ruler of the world. Fans on social media are calling this a fight between a “god” and a “serpent.” Some spoilers suggest that Imu calls Loki the “abyssal serpent” before the chapter ends. This connects to old stories about Elbaf’s history and the legendary figure Nidhoggr.
