Broski... You need to learn to power scale regen merchants...
Just because he endured and pulled through, it doesnt mean he wasnt close to beaten.
The same applies to Kaido vs Oden/Zoro...
If this was primeGaban, he would have been enough.
And for god's sake, dont use Luffy to power scaling anyone. Or those who are just as incompetent as him.
And the same question stands for you - why is Imu laid out and regretting not taking Gaban out back in GV if he did nothing significant?
Imu not laid out. Imu currently fighting two top tiers right now after fighting Gabban. He not close to be beaten at all. Thats why Gabban telling everyone to run and prime gabban not stronger than Loki. He not even stronger than Harold. Are you slow ?

Elbaf has messed with your head too much...
Imu was laid out, bloody and regretting not taking out Gaban before he became this strong. And was forced to change form and regenerate for the first time ever. Nothing Loki has done so far did push Imu to either regenerate or change form.

Imu pulled through because he is a regen merchant otherwise he would be done for and regen merchants cant regenerate forever.
Imu is merely enjoying the villain treatment of outlasting people due to plot-driven stamina, not because he is stronger than everyone...

Loki, Harald and primeGaban are all same level, the victory can go either way. You are simply blinded by plot convenience, forgetting things that are available to all 3 of them - power of handful of strongest.

Imma shamelessly repost what i said in the general thread:

This fight feels all over the place.

Luffy should be down yet he's fighting as if nothing happened a few chapters ago.
I can't see Luffy, Loki et al. defeating Imu at this point either, even though Imu is taking huge ammounts of damage.
This is One Piece, so Luffy dying/being defeated and Elbaph falling also can't happen.

And yet, if Imu and the GK were to leave Elbaph due to his illness/some other ticking bomb-type device would feel cheap and a repeat of Egghead.
All I can think of is Shanks, BB, Dragon or someone else finally showing up and forcing a stalemate and 'forcing' Imu and GK to retreat, which would downplay Imu's position as main villain/bad guy.

'Inconsequential' isn't the word I'm looking for but every exit to our present situation feels a disappointment in some way or another.

I still have hope for a decent and satisfying resolution but I can't picture it right now.
The more I sit on it the more I hope Oda has some really unforseen and refreshing solution to this fight that doesn't feel like a letdown for what's been made to be the most powerful, biggest and meanest enemy for Luffy at this point.

A nice way to make BB relevant again as a main antagonist and put him at the level of Luffy/Loki would be for him to show up and absorb Imu as a whole as he's down.

That way Oda would turn him into the ultimate villain of the series and lead to the chase for the One Piece with all players on a somewhat equal footing.

No. Imu will either get damaged to the point he returns to Marijoa, likely from a Haki blast from multiple people, mirroring Joy Boy's Haki knocking the Gorosei back, or Imu will get pushed physically away far enough from the country to lose connection to his Magic Circles and be forced back, like Mars was in Egghead.

There's a small chance Imu takes over the country, but I don't see it happening. We'll see Imu go for Pluton, next, after this, IMO.

1. Regen merchant means noting thats their ability. Scopper literally has the counter for his ability which is ACoC and couldn't get the job done. Shit Luffy, Loki, and Scopper can't get the job done. Yet EOS goofy will be the closest to actually putting him down. Even with a nerf Oda BS wrote in so thry don't die they literally getting they ass beat.
2. Stop rewriting the story. Harold who isn't on Imu level, scopper literally said he has no hope and Loki is the only option.
3. Victory can go either way then why are they jumping him. You dumbass Logic don't make sense. Imu just beat Loki ass, then Luffy ass and then Scopper ass and now he getting jumped by them. Thats not how extreme diff work.

Barely half of the 100 remaining readers voted.

Kudos to Oda, he managed to make the story so ass that even die hard goofy fans can barely bring themselves to read it anymore.

Imu right now shows too much already, the more he shows the more his stocks went down, unless it's not even 10% of his power, which is pretty stupid to think considering he is serious about killing them.

Saboady Kizaru
WCI Bigmom
Act1 Kaido etc
Villains that SH will face again in later stages are kind of reserved and shows limited move while also looking invincible at their intro.
Current Imu is already in 2nd phase form and still getting pressured.
Might as well gets beaten or BB done the job when he's back to Holy Land in a very weakened state.

Garling won't be able to kill Imu as he is a puppet of Imu. Imu has the ability to influence his action. But with that in mind, it won't stop him from taking his chance on a weak Imu. Or maybe Shanks's complete disconnected himself from Imu led to him discover it and use a different method to disobey abyss's influence. Imu is wounded in the flower room. He appears in front of Imu. Imu say he is not needed here. When he tell Imu he is there to take his life, Imu tried to couldn't influence him. So Imu takes his abyss seal away and that is still unable stop him because he hasn't lived up to his lifespan. He lunges his sword towards Imu and manage to stab him on his chest. Imu is coughing blood and huffing hard. All of a sudden, Saturn appears and stab Garling in the back and then chain Imu up. Both Garling and Imu were shocked that Saturn is alive. Saturn tell Imu that someone has been waiting for his throne. It's Teach. He has hiding behind in the dark and slowly manifest himself into human form. BB says he is back for the promise. Imu in his dying breath, attacks BB but are countered. BB kills him and take his fruit. Shamrock on the other hand carry out the work as planned, he kills the other four Gorosei. BB then kill Garling to end the era of World Government. BB absorbs Imu's power and announce himself as the new king of the world.

1 - You need to learn to power scale regen merchants... They look invincible while regen works but once it stops, they are screwed.
The point here is that Imu could not stop Gaban's attack despite countering and shielding from it, he took heavy damage. Now imagine that same attack when Imu's regen pool is exhausted, what happens?
Imu is enjoying severe plot convenience, he literally got to face Gaban in his worst condition, both old and heavily injured already... Now, remove old age and injury and give Gaban a chance to shred that regen pool, it would be extreme dif either way.
Marco looks invincible while regen lasts, so does Sommers and all others. You need to define their capabilities once they cannot rely on regeneration.
No, aCoC is not the counter. It is merely a chance to start shredding the regen pool. It doesnt get depleted just because you have aCoC...
And forget EoS goofy, he is the same level as current goofy. And forget Imu also, his fighting purpose is already used up.

2 - Who told you that Harald isnt Imu's level?
When has Harald vs Imu happened?
No, you are confusing HK Harald with Harald.
Loki couldnt do shit in the end, Harald regenerated everything, instantly, couldnt even slow it down. Do not ignore the fact that Harald himself has dropped his defense so Loki can harm him at all. Everything before he was merely shredding regen pool.

3 - they are jumping him because Luffy is extremely incompetent fighter and so is Loki. That's why all his life he gets help in his fights.
That's how Oda fools you into believing that Imu is too strong - by giving him incompetent opponents or heavily injured old man.
Shanks himself would clap Imu in 1vs1, remember this. So would Mihawk and Dragon.

I still don't think he will fall, but he is showing too much like too much

This is Oda basics of writing he is allergic to letting a character shoe anything before their due time

That is why we have the Off screen of screen no mi BB meme

I will give it to Teach fans, that his FV stocks are skyrocketing, Imu went as far as a second form already
