ADDITIONAL SPOILERS
Imu is in the chapter. (source: WONPE4CE)
Leaker said that this is really a good chapter, better than the previous chapter.
More soon.
Break Next Week.
Imu sama gets double page spread and we get a much awaited Imu face reveal.
Imu face reveal isn’t even the main part of this chapter, the last page has a major plot twist, there is something else on the last page, which will dwarf Imu face reveal.
Imu as a DEVIL DEVIL FRUIT, something like that. Also this is not even the main part of the chapter.
From WONPE4CE: there is a peak lore drop in this chapter.
IMU-SAMA IS A MAN. A VERY HANDSOME AT THAT.
It seems he is the St. Nerona Imu, King from Nerona Family from 800 years ago, wait for more details soon.
Luffy asks Loki and Ragnir to Join the Crew (confirmed)
Go follow my friend WONPE4CE on Twitter, he gonna drop more hints.
It seems that Imu is Lunarian, my sources did not confirm this yet.
IMU was the king from Nerona Family. One of the original family that made world government.
IMU Devil Devil Fruit
The Devil Form in the Mural of Elbaph is Imu (sorta)
My deduction is that Saint Nerona Imu was in love with Nefertari Lily and I believe Lily was in love with Joyboy (lol), which is why the war happened 800 years ago, and erased a lot of people, seems pretty clear to me.
This also explains why Saint Nerona Imu has Nefertari Lily’s photo in Flower Room, and since Nefertari Vivi is identical copy of Lily, Imu probably wanted Vivi as his queen as he could not get Lily. (Just my deduction from everything in this chapter)
Cover page is about big mom. (Unconfirmed)
ADDITIONAL SPOILERS
St. Nerona Imu seems to be a special lunarian breed. (confirmed by 4 sources)
Has Black Wings
Has Horns
Imu has a Zoan.
Imu’s Description
Imu settles at the topmost tower of Aurust Castle. He emanates a strong force of CoC Haki. Some of the houses and trees around Elbaph start to come alive, laughing with evil faces.
Imu appears to be male, with handsome features. Black clouds surround him. He has long horns similar to Kaido and the ancient giants, but they curve twice, forming the letter “S.”
He is not wearing any upper clothing, but he has a cape with a logo (only half of it is visible). He has tanned skin similar to a Lunarian (King). He also has a devil-like tail the same one seen piercing Sabo.
He also has white circular tattoos all over his body, including an eye tattoo on his right hand. He also has a tattoo on the left side of his face.
He possesses the same black Hagoromo clouds seen in awakened Zoan users like Lucci and the Five Elders; however, instead of swirly cloud patterns, his clouds have eyes—similar to those of a biblically accurate Ophanim often depicted online.
He wields a polearm weapon: the butt end tip has black clouds, while the blade is zigzagged and curved at the tip.
We can see a trickle of blood coming out on the left side of his mouth.
BRIEF SUMMARY BY SCOTCH
Chapter 1179: The Incarnation of Nerona Imu
-The Five Elders try to stop Imu from leaving the castle, suggesting they send an Admiral or go themselves instead.
Cut to Elbaph: -Gerd finds Sommer’s heart while Zoro has an idea to destroy it.
-Imu appears at a magic circle in Aurust Castle and begins to transform amidst a massive burst of Conqueror’s Haki.
-Imu Revelation: Appears to be a male with a beautiful face, tanned skin, long white hair, wings, horns, and a devil tail. Generally a distinctive design.
Introduction Box: -One of the Twenty Founders of World Government. -Special Power: “Devil Fruit.” -King of the World. -Saint Nerona Imu.
The End. Break Next Week.
ADDITIONAL SPOILERS PART 2
When Imu lands on Elbaph, he spits blood and falls to his knees, then transforms and we see his design.
Imu seems weakened, and battle did not even start yet. He does not use his full zoan form, looks like hybrid with characteristics of devil devil fruit.
When Zoro and Gerd find Sommers and pick up his heart, Zoro wonders if Sommers could die if he destroys his heart, whereupon Sommers becomes very scared and shocked.
NEW SPOILERS
-The skin is darker (like King’s).
-The face doesn’t really resemble him.
-The facial tattoo/mark is very different.
-The hair is white, longer, and more voluminous (with curls similar to Luffy’s Gear 5).
-The horns are more like Loki’s (coming out of the forehead) and twist as if forming an “S.”
-The black “collar” with eyes is like the one seen on Luffy, Lucci, Kaku, etc. in their awakened forms.
-In fact, it closely resembles Enel’s drum ring, except Imu’s is a ring of black clouds with many eyes emerging from it.
-The spear is much longer, with black clouds at one end, and a blade on the other end (which is much more jagged).
This is how Imu’s sword/spear looks – drawing by labrent
MORE SPOILERS and summary very soon!
The Gorosei really tried everything to prevent Imu from leaving alone; ONLY Garling was the only one who stopped the others and said that “The Great One” could do whatever he wanted and should leave because no one could stop him.
Loki and Luffy are searching for food together, and Loki mentions that the ice created by Ragnir can only be dissolved by Ragnir himself, otherwise it will exist forever.
In the presentation board it puts directly that “[Skill: Akuma no Mi]” (能力: アクマの実 in Japanese).
There is no further explanation because the page where we see Imu is the last one in the chapter, and the whole plot twist here is IMU is half breed, while the celestial dragons, gorosei, holy knights focuses on purity while Imu is Special Lunarian Ancient Giant Half breed type looking.
Although there is something interesting about it, and that is that the word “Akuma” (Devil) appears written in katakana (アクマ) instead of with kanjis (悪魔) as it has always appeared written in the series (悪魔の実).
I suppose there will be the key to Imu’s power, which will be the “Devil” in person or something like that. (redon)
