Okay, low-effort thread to clarify a couple of things and possible flex of FS...
1 - What did Imu do to Saturn?
2 - Kizaru's fate?
1 - While most hype riders are probably heavily impressed by what Imu did to Saturn, you know I always go in a different direction and look for logical explanations other than "OMG Imu too stronk!" What do we know for a fact?
We know that Saturn shriveled up and died, leaving only bones behind!
Sounds familiar? No? Well, it should.
Because it is a natural process of dying and decay, simply sped up.
I think what happened is that the Elders do NOT have an immortality operation performed on them nor do they have regeneration powers.
This is Imu sharing his own powers with them and keeping them alive, either through some sort of DF effect or black magic ritual or whatever.
What we just saw is Imu closing the tap and once the immortality stopped flowing, the natural age of Saturn, who is way past his normal lifespan, has kicked in and "dust to dust, ashes to ashes".
A different explanation could be that Imu controls time and freezes their aging process so the same result happened when he didn't keep doing it on Saturn... Either way, the same thing happens when Imu's power is lifted off of Saturn. The time killed him. This should naturally result in Garling being safe from the same fate as his age is normal and not kept back by Imu but another 50 years he would suffer from same thing.
Regarding their DF powers, it could be that they ate those fruits or those are also manifestations of Imu's powers but one thing is certain, we got an explanation for the shared regeneration between all of them - it is Imu's power, not theirs.
2 - Saturn died in front of Vice Admirals but one key person did NOT witness this thing - Kizaru!
The highest authority on Egghead now, will walk into the room and find a skeleton of one of the Overseers of the World, whose orders he carries out fully, even when it means killing his best friend and he will have quite something to see!
After seeing that Kizaru takes no shit from a higher authority like Akainu and considering he killed his friend and now Saturn went and died on his watch, he could end up barging into the room of power to demand answers!
Before dying Saturn even managed to say I-MU... and the present Vice Admirals clearly picked it up so when Kizaru barges in and sees the horror show he will have some questions - how and who could have done this.
As a character who almost never loses his cool, it is certainly entertaining to see him do it.
However, walking into the room of power could put a shadow of Death onto Kizaru's shoulders...
Imu will likely show himself to Kizaru and he probably wont like what he sees/hears.
I have said before that Kizaru has had his purpose served, his backstory shown and his abilities demonstrated, to a small degree.
But the fact that Oda chose to show too much of his fruit's abilities, makes me think that his fruit could really be re-used on a different character.
When you think about it, while Kizaru ever used only 3 named techniques, only one of them is a named attack! That begs for re-use.
And for Kizaru to die, Imu could be a perfect candidate considering that he managed to live through Egghead.
Just like we saw with Sabo throwing a Fire Fist at Imu and it being eaten, as well as Luffy eating Kizaru's laser shot, Imu could end up eating Kizaru.
If he can eat fire he could also eat light...
Anyway, that's it for this meeting.
