One Piece - Ch. 1178 - Waking From a Nightmare

Biblo, my hero

major threats dealt with, now for some "downtime" until Imu shows up again in person

 

[isoycrazy]

I knew Chopper's power wasn't a one off! If it's the Human-Human Fruit all versions that have this power, then Sengoku could save people too. Shame he didn't join Garp on God Valley

I hope Lilith keeps the heads of Killingham and Sommers in jars.

So, will Gunko be saved?

 

[Iratana]

Man... Ussop really was there just to take himself and Brooks out...

On a more serious note however; I'm glad the Strawhats aren't actually looking down on the Knights, as even if they're a joke (for the most part), it really did just take three of them to almost bring down a kingdom and one of them had taken down nearly half the crew. The Strawhats literally aren't in a position to be looking down on any group or individual since they have such massive collective bounty now.

Also it's curious on what Imu's power work on and what doesn't it work on. Imu's powers so far had affected

• Rocks
• Brogy
• Drory
• Most of the Giants Pirates

On the other hand, Imu's powers didn't work on Luffy or Loki. If we look at the commonality, then it would be Devil Fruits since neither Rocks nor any of the giants as far as I'm aware of has eaten a devil fruit, but at the same time it would make no sense for Imu to literally try to use their powers on Luffy and Loki as they should know that those two have eaten a devil fruit.

Another possibility could be mind or spirit. Perhaps when Imu does take control of people, Imu is in essence tying their Haki into others, thus mixing the two together, granting them strength but also giving Imu control over them. Imu being unable to plant their haki into Luffy or Loki could likely be a sign of their will being uncompromising. The only thing I dislike about this possibility is that I can't imagine that being the case for Rocks.

Overall a good chapter nonetheless, and I imagine things are about to get even more hectic since Imu might actually be about to show up.

One last thing, seeing Loki and Luffy both tired and/or drained (with Luffy being moreso obviously) despite being in action briefly really drives to home how much of a monster Kaidou was considering that he was able to not only fight multiple powerful opponents, but he did so for hours in multiple different forms and using a lot of Haki before he finally began to grow tired. Of course, in Loki's defense he was nearly killed prior to the battle.

I don't have any real basis for it but I can't help but wonder if Imu's gonna fish Kid's crew out of the water to Domi Reversi them when they (presumably) make their way over to Elbaf. They just seem like the type to get a kick out of dredging up dead(?) pirates to turn into puppets

final bum villains

Ooh, the library looks covered in ice and the books are all saved? I'm smelling some Aokiji/Kuzan involvement somehow.

 

[REMasher]

Oooh, very excited to see what this means for Chopper

Before saying "Domi Reversi" she says "I'll give you strenght", so maybe if you accept her offer even unconsciously you get possessed; or maybe it's "the will of D." + them having legendary Devil Fruits?

That seems like alot of effort on Imu's part

Imagine it: Kid challenging Luffy… and suffering another crushing defeat.

Will of the D. cant be the reason because Rocks carried the will of the D. as well.

 

[SmugAnimeEnjoyer]

Usopp will fulfill his promise

I don't remember if Rocks was shown to have it but it might be the Supreme King/Emperor's Haki, maybe those who have it are immune to his domi reversi. Loki didn't show it either but he might have it too

 

[fight2live]

and with that announcement from Imu, every new character we see from now on will be met with fan-theory of "this new guy is definitely Imu!!!"

also, Sommers escaped. damn, i sooooo don't wanna see his ugly mug again

the library got frozen in the previous chapter by Lilith using her new gizmo which absorbs energy and convert it to some kind of new fuel for Franky. as for the books, the owl librarian might be the culprit

I know, that's why I said "+ legendary fruit" like maybe there's an interaction between them.
Dunno what's the deal with Chopper tho

Ah. In my defense I can't possibly be expected to remember things that happened a week ago. 😅

 

[Block_Ogre]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Kruxia]

you won’t have to wait long to see the real Imu. Calling it

 

[CrimsonSix]

I've seen the next chapter now, and... holy shit. That's all I'll say here.
