Imu's Stigma seems to be a combination of several abilities that we saw before.
Midd's Assign, connecting two locations with magnetic force but in this case it's Imu's bell in the hand and where maki hommies land.
However, instead of a pull or push, it is basically Law's Kroom that extends a sword or a maki-manipulated object.
All nice and good but too much effort for a move that aint a sure hit. Also similar to Apoo's sound attacks that target a specific location.

The first part of the chapter will be Nika vs Imu for sure, but I hope in the end we will get the Sanji's awakening, or at least the start of it.
That, and to force him unlocking CoC to beat Killingham and having Zaza disappear.
Sanji said that in this chapter: he has to save the children -> but he can't 'cause the water monster is a woman and he can't beat her -> so he needs to defeat the "mage" for his summoning to vanish -> to beat Killingham he needs ACoC.
Rain Goddess Zaza is literally a plot device for Sanji's awakening.

See, I have a number of problems with that tbh. Namely the fact that......if Imu looks like he is losing, why exactly wouldn't all of the Gorosei just come? Not a single person has mentioned anything about the Abyss circle in the castle, so that's free game, and nobody seems to have even CONSIDERED getting rid of it (granted, why would they? Its not like they know anything about how these powers work). Plus, if Saturn or Gunko could just create new circles and summon the Gorosei/Holy Knights whenever they felt like it, I'm sure Imu could. Meaning anyone fighting Imu could just find themselves fighting him AND his closest subordinates.
There realistically feels like there is no way the WG should lose here, without the villains just......forgetting they can easily call for help. At....any time. Instantaneously. Hell, if Imu has a couple minutes to himself at any point (like if Luffy runs out of G5, and Loki still isn't back yet......and Imu for some reason doesn't just kill them. Lol) he could just Domi Reversi every relevant vaguely powerful character who isn't Luffy/Loki and completely flip the situation AGAIN.
Seriously, even IF Imu might conceivably lose in his slap fight with Luffy (which would be weird, for all sorts of reasons) there is no logical way he still shouldn't get what he wants. There's no set up for a Joyboy Ex Machina to stop him here, unlike with Emeth on Egghead.
.....simultaneously, I have a hard time seeing Oda make Luffy outright fail. So.....confusion still abounds. Lol. All i can hope for is that it makes sense somehow.
