so much for that downtime! 
all i can add is, get fuked York! exactly position i hoped they would be in
the black shroud has been lifted, and what a reveal! now their form matches the mural as well, horns wings and all. something so terrifying of just having THE devil fruit.
im guessing the limit is since they are the devil fruit, the weakness towards water is especially strong, thus why they live on highest point and coughed up blood just coming down to lower realm

what a reveal, love that Imu has that older kinda villain appeal in his design, and giving your Final Antagonist(?) a devil fruit literally called "The Devil's Fruit/Akuma no mi" is great lol
I assume the blood from his mouth + the elders' (minus Garling) concerns about Imu leaving means that he's on a time limit so maybe the damage caused won't be too severe but... do your best surviving, straw hats!!
also, adorable chapter cover, my heart to the requester

What a fantastic chapter. Now I can't wait to hear the soundtrack for this.
That's not to say that Garling or the other knights don't revere Imu, as I imagine that they do. However, it's somewhat different; in the case of the original Five Elders, they revere Imu like a deity or God whom they must serve to the absolute degree. However, in the case of Garling and the other knights, they likely see Imu as simply a figure above them; destined for worship, but not irreplaceable. We even see a bit of this with Sommers attitude of putting the blame on Imu if the mission had failed; that's not something any of the original Five Elders would've even considered. Now it's always possible that Sommers is the exception, but I don't think that's the case. In fact if I recall, when Vegapunk had sent out his message, both Garling and Shamrock were amongst the individuals pictured who had the chance and ambition to find One Piece and change the world, showing that Garling and Shamrock both have noticeable ambition.
As for Garling's attitude towards the Five Elders; I imagine he's playing the smart game of taking charge. He already quickly established himself as their equal, and is now pointing the direction of their efforts. Even his mentioning of Shamrock quelling the situation merely brings the achievement back to Garling, in which he could opt to take charge of the Five Elders. It also helped that the Five Elders have already 'failed' when they both allowed Luffy to escape, Vegapunk's broadcast to go live, and for Imu to have suffered pain from Joyboy's haki.
Sure, they secured York, but as we can see, the hunger situation (which was escalated due to the broadcast) has worsen to the point, she can barely work efficiently enough to provide the Motherflame as needed. So unless drastic action is taken, the situation won't improve, hence Garling's action of taking charge can be brilliant here. It especially helps his case when Imu's own objective aligns with Garling's words.
I say a bit of that, and Garling's is taking advantage of the circumstances. We don't know how long the Original Five Elders have been in service, but we know that Saturn has been around for at least 200 years. It may very much be possible that they have been with Imu since the beginning; however due to the longevity of their position and whether they witnessed Imu establishing the World Government, it leads to the revering Imu to the highest order.

Honestly if not for the blood and the obvious concern that the Five Elders have; I'd have said that this was checkmate for Luffy and the rest. But since we see Imu's current state, then it's definitely safe to say that whatever threat Imu may pose won't last forever. So it's either a option of weathering the storm or probably destroying the circle to send him back. Either way, they're in for the biggest fight of their lives.

Lol, it's Shinra.
And it's really small but on page 7 on the wall (?) there's some kind of painting that seems to vanish? 🤔
Those are just the statues on the staircase to the castle.
