Powers & Abilities The 19 weapons are not actual swords, they are just Omen buffs

[Donquixote Shivercalero]

since the reveal last chapter many people have come under the impression that the 19 blades of the founders are actual weapons in the same vein as the Meito. In reality, as should be obvious to any non-speed reader, the 19 blades are purely Omen constructs. They only exist as Imu has created. The original 19 swords are still by the throne in Marijois.

No Nusjuro will not dual wield Muramasa with the Shodai, No Yoru isn’t the secret 20th blade, No Vivi’s strings aren’t Lili’s weapon, etc.

Killingham’s trident explicitly transforms into Longinus in Chapter 1187. Sommers sword returns its thorn covered handle when it is transformed into Gram. These are clearly just omen buffs for already existing weapons not self existing weaponry. It is clear that the 19 blades change to fit their wielder as Gram used by Imu is different than the one used by Sommers.

Well...yeah. Since all the weapons at the base of the Empty Throne are rusted.

Yes that's what i've been saying.. They are all different application of Imu's Omen power..

It's just another of Imu's big lie like the empty Throne, he's even lying to his low Holy Knights like Sommers and Killingham, making them think it's their '' Houses' '' ancestry treasure, so they are manifesting it out of their own will.. They're believing the Swords are real so they are, they are as long as they believe they are.. Luffy is able to manifest a baseball bat, paint, helmet, goggles.. I think it's part of Imu's contract with the Holy Knights and Gorosei, giving Imu's powers tangible form.. Let say Sommers is defeated, as in completely eliminated, Imu still has the '' Sword of Wrath '' as a power, it's simply only formless now and doesn't have a physical blade form attached to it.. It's not Gram anymore, it's solely Sword of Wrath or something..

Or another possibility, is that Imu also made a contract with himself, and the Swords are '' real '' but only through his power, it made his powers stronger by given them a physical form.. Anyway i'm convinced he's deceiving his own '' crew ''..

I don’t doubt it, just speculating fresh information and whatever possibility available. No matter how it plays out i’m excited

 

[Dragon777]

Yes and no.

Sommers and Killingham's weapons might be their old weapons morphed into one of the nineteen, but Imu clearly showed the ability to evoke or "recreate" the nineteen weapons using only Omen as a base (and no physical weapon):

And those weapons clearly remained "physical" even after:

So he could very well re-create/evoke some of them and give them to whoever he wants.
