Have you ever noticed how music keeps coming back as a hidden theme in One Piece — not just as something fun, but something powerful? I’ve been digging deep, and I think Imu might be more than just a shadowy king — he could be a kind of fallen angel of music, using sound as a weapon to control minds, shape the world, and erase history..
🎼 Domi Reverso”?
There’s this strange phrase "Domi Reverso" shown recently, and if you say it slowly... Do–Mi–Re–Verso... it really sounds like Do Re Mi, the basic music notes.
But “verso” can also mean “verse” or “reverse.” So we might be looking at something like :
That’s important because there’s a very old legend where Amphion, a musician in Greek mythology, played his lyre and built the walls of Thebes using music. His sound literally made stones move into place.
🏛️🎵 The Myth of the Walls of Thebes
In Greek mythology, Amphion was taught music by the god Hermes, and gifted a golden lyre. With this instrument, Amphion played melodies so beautiful and powerful that the stones of Thebes moved on their own to form the city walls.
This wasn’t a one-time idea in myth either. Other musical legends include:
These stories show how ancient cultures saw music as a shaping power — a force that could build cities, tame beasts, or even shape reality.
🧱 2. Oda Borrowed the Myth — Imu Built the Red Line with Sound
Now here's the wild part: what if Oda took that same idea — but reversed it?
In this theory, Imu is a dark reflection of Amphion. Instead of using music to build a city, he used it to build a wall of division — the Red Line.
The Red Line literally splits the world. It’s a symbol of how the world lost its freedom, its memory, and its rhythm. I believe Imu used sound — a forbidden frequency or resonance — to construct the Red Line, just like Amphion raised walls with a lyre.
But in Imu’s case, the music was cursed.
😴 3. The Void Century Was a Time of Sleep
What if Imu didn’t just change the land — but silenced the minds?
During the Void Century, Imu may have used a lullaby, a form of music or sound tech, to put humanity to sleep. Not literal sleep only, but a trance-like state. Collective amnesia. An entire world that forgot its past, its identity, and its will.
This would explain why no one remembers the truth, and why those who bear the “D.” are feared — they carry something resistant to the lullaby.
👁️ 4. Imu Controls Minds Through Music
Recently, we saw Imu take over Gunko’s body. He fully manifested inside her — his eyes, wings, and aura — while her physical body stayed the same. This is deep symbolic possession.
But what broke it for a moment?
Brook’s music.
When Brook played, Gunko began to remember. She saw flashes of the past. The music reached into her soul — even though Imu quickly regained control.
This proves that Imu’s mind control has a musical nature, and that music is also his weakness.
🔊 5. Haki, Music, and Soundwaves
In One Piece, Haki is used to tame beasts, break will, and sense emotions — and it acts just like vibrations or frequencies. Think about:
Now think in terms of electromagnetism and sound waves — energy that travels through space and hits people without contact.
This is why musical instruments and soul-based powers (like Brook’s) have real effect — they are literally tapping into the same invisible spectrum. Music = soul waves. Haki = will waves.
😈 6. Imu = Fallen Angel of Music
In Christian tradition, Lucifer was known as the angel of music before his fall. Some texts even describe him as being created with instruments built into his body — rhythm was part of his being..
After falling, he twisted music into a tool of control and pride. Many believe music became his “ministry” — a subtle way to reach people’s subconscious, to influence them without direct force...
The Bible has both sides:
This dual nature of music mirrors Imu: someone who once might’ve known true harmony, but now uses sound as a weapon of sleep, possession, and erasure..
🥁 7. The One Piece = Music Box, Heartbeat Engine
Now here's the twist:
What if the One Piece is actually a musical machine — a kind of mecha-heart, a music box, or device that produces the original heartbeat of freedom?
We already hear the Drums of Liberation when Luffy awakens as Nika — that’s a rhythm, a frequency, a song of the soul..
This ancient device could be the source of that rhythm. It may even have the power to break Imu’s trance, wake up the world, and shatter the Red Line — returning everything to a natural, unified state.
🎸 8. Rocks D. Xebec — The Devil’s Rock
Let’s look at Rocks D. Xebec — a figure so dangerous, he united Garp and Roger just to stop him.
The name “Rocks” itself carries two meanings:
Xebec might have used a form of sound-based Haki — a power of destructive vibration, like a power chord that cracked reality. He could’ve been a walking amplifier of chaos.
This ties back into the Satan/music theme. Rock music was once called “the devil’s music” for its power to break norms and influence behavior. Xebec may have embodied that chaos — sound used not to heal or free, but to tear down order itself...

But “verso” can also mean “verse” or “reverse.” So we might be looking at something like :
“Reversed music” or “the inverse of harmony.”..
That’s important because there’s a very old legend where Amphion, a musician in Greek mythology, played his lyre and built the walls of Thebes using music. His sound literally made stones move into place.
🏛️🎵 The Myth of the Walls of Thebes
In Greek mythology, Amphion was taught music by the god Hermes, and gifted a golden lyre. With this instrument, Amphion played melodies so beautiful and powerful that the stones of Thebes moved on their own to form the city walls.
He didn’t build the city with tools — he built it with sound.
This wasn’t a one-time idea in myth either. Other musical legends include:
- Orpheus, who could calm wild animals and even charm the underworld itself with his lyre.
- In Orphic creation myths, the goddess Rhea played a brazen drum to stir life and creation — sound as cosmic force.
These stories show how ancient cultures saw music as a shaping power — a force that could build cities, tame beasts, or even shape reality.

Now here's the wild part: what if Oda took that same idea — but reversed it?
In this theory, Imu is a dark reflection of Amphion. Instead of using music to build a city, he used it to build a wall of division — the Red Line.
A wall not for unity, but to separate, control, and isolate.
The Red Line literally splits the world. It’s a symbol of how the world lost its freedom, its memory, and its rhythm. I believe Imu used sound — a forbidden frequency or resonance — to construct the Red Line, just like Amphion raised walls with a lyre.

🔊 5. Haki, Music, and Soundwaves
In One Piece, Haki is used to tame beasts, break will, and sense emotions — and it acts just like vibrations or frequencies. Think about:
- Conqueror’s Haki — like a shockwave that knocks people out
- Observation Haki — like sonar, reading emotions through space
- Armament Haki — strengthening through invisible force
Now think in terms of electromagnetism and sound waves — energy that travels through space and hits people without contact.
Haki is like an inner "music" — it’s rhythm, will, and resonance.. ( haki also is more then that..light waves)..
This is why musical instruments and soul-based powers (like Brook’s) have real effect — they are literally tapping into the same invisible spectrum. Music = soul waves. Haki = will waves.

The Bible has both sides:

Let’s look at Rocks D. Xebec — a figure so dangerous, he united Garp and Roger just to stop him.
The name “Rocks” itself carries two meanings:
- Stone — a force of mass and weight
- Rock music wild, chaotic, rebellious, LOUD..
Xebec might have used a form of sound-based Haki — a power of destructive vibration, like a power chord that cracked reality. He could’ve been a walking amplifier of chaos.
This ties back into the Satan/music theme. Rock music was once called “the devil’s music” for its power to break norms and influence behavior. Xebec may have embodied that chaos — sound used not to heal or free, but to tear down order itself...
