So we have
-Luffy saying he never felt haki like Imu
-Gaban saying the haki is even crazier than everything that was going in God Valley
-Shanks saying Imu's strenght is beyond comprehension
Gaban and Shanks both being characters that were crewmates of Roger
Yeah the few people stupid enough to still downplay Imu are done for lol
Not going to downplayed Imu. But I see red flag that oda hype this guy and show many moves from strat. Imu is main villain of Elbaf arc.
Luffy vs Arlong-Oda hype foshmen as 10 times stronger than man, imagine super strong Fishman
Luffy vs Crocodile- Odw has warlrod hype up for reason.
Luffy vs Enel- Enel is God period, no debate, lighting goes better,
Luffy vs Rob Lucci- strongest and most tslent CP0
Luffy at Thriller Park fight with Oar - Oar is hype up that Gloria believe Oar can aid him to.be pirate king. Oars hype over regular giants
Marineford- Whitebeard - world strongest man hype, oh wait blackbeard claim to be new strongest man. Same guy run away from Akainu
Luffy vs Hody Jones - yes even Oda hype him by using drug power up to get stronger
Luffy vs Caser Clown -Caswr is hype for his broken devil fruit
Luffy vs Doflalmingo- Doflalmingo is os hype that people think he is Admiral level or top tier.
Luffy vs Katakuri - No one defeated Katakuri hype
Luffy vs Kaido - world strongest creature
There is no.hype statement at Eggland like wow kizaru is God power alike by statements or even gorosei
Now Elbaf- Imu Hasan hype statements.
So I see pattern oda keep hoping villain up and show many moves which mean he will get defeated by luffy in 1 vs 1 with many power-ups as he wanted
Also Shanks is saying about Imu power is strong is because Imu is many power and can be defeated in normal way. He has regeneration stuff for reason.
