If she is a knight of God, then desertion is probably a death sentence...oh, poor Shuri... fun seeing her clutch where her abyss mark presumably is, wonder if a slice with conqueror's haki would be enough to save her from that if she's still around after Imu's inevitable retreat
for now tho, looking forward to next chapter, love the callbacks to all the times Sanji's tried to sacrifice himself for others (those panels couldn't even get every single moment because he Keeps Doing It lmao), will be cool seeing him be a bit more selfish with his life and wants as he figures out conqueror's
...Zoro won't let him live it down that he figured it out last of the monster trio tho lmao
she really does seem terrified so you're probably on the mark... loved that she has her own lil "I want to live!" panel that probably had the exact opposite emotions compared to when Robin shouted it out, nicely sets up Imu as an overwhelmingly oppressive opposite to how Luffy's fighting for freedomIf she is a knight of God, then desertion is probably a death sentence...
Imu killed Mercury from miles away with just a thought.
Though maybe Imu does need the mark, because Shanks is still alive (he hasn't been confirmed a knight yet, but at this point I'm almost certain he cut his own arm off).
I think it's more likely that she feels like she's done so many terrible things as Gunko that she doesn't deserve to go back to being Shuri.So, is Shuri running out of shame for her actions, fear of hurting Brook again, or just buried by the Gunko personality?
I'm pretty sure the arm that got eaten by the sea monster in the first chapter was the one with the tattoo, really a sign of fateThough maybe Imu does need the mark, because Shanks is still alive (he hasn't been confirmed a knight yet, but at this point I'm almost certain he cut his own arm off).
Shuri also doesn't have an Abyssal mark, just a Depths mark, so Imu might not be able to kill her like that, and Shanks was a knight, seen in the Harald flashback, but with only a Shallows mark on his left arm (shown in ch.1152).If she is a knight of God, then desertion is probably a death sentence...
