Controversial Devil's advocate: Why Imu didn’t showed up at Egghead?

[HerreraIsBack]

Imu didn't seem as bothered by Vegapunk's message, given his calm reaction. Unlike in Elbaf, where the stakes were higher (Marijoa in flames + conquering Elbaf as a key factor in conquering the world). Likewise, God Valley was at risk of unfolding larger incidents.

But surely, plot is always an argument, because Imu can spawn for every small issue.

This seems kind of contradiction because Vegapunk was worldwide telling everyone what happened in such void century that they tried to cover up for 800 years and this includes Ohara that was doing researches about it. If anything the highest stake was that.

One thing I was thinking about is that Joy Boy could've been a Davy, maybe even Davy D. Jones himself. The WG is putting the Davy Clan in a pedestal like we've never seen before. I mean, they got a D. like Garp in the marines, and also Dragon at some point and Saul too, so they don't really worry that much about all D. families... as for the Davy Clan, they're treated like Buccaneers or Lunarians, they have a target over their heads just for existing.

All things considered, the Egghead Incident and the God Valley Incident had two different weights: the Egghead's situation was dire, but the WG had a lot of forces there already (1 admiral, 5 gorosei and a whole fleet of ships) against just 1 neophyte yonko, so Imu probably thought that it was overkill already. On the other hand, GV was on a whole different level: we had Xebec, Roger, Whitebeard, et al., plus a lot of Davy Clan members (even if they weren't that much of a threat, they apparently shouldn't be allowed to even exist), so, if my hyphotesis is true, it was probably the most dangerous situation for the WG since the Void Century.

I'd say that what made most of sense to me.

Because Lolda planned to solve Egghead with Joyboy Haki so he kept Imcel possesion power for the next arc

Then you will tell me that Imu didn't acknowledge 4 Gorosei disappearing from Mariejois?

Basically. It's not like Imu's hanging out with the Gorosei all day. They have their work, and Imu has...hobbies? If the Gorosei left, I'm not sure if Imu would actually be aware of it, right away. It kind of depends on how the Abyss powers work. But, we know that the Gorosei are capable of keeping secrets from Imu, like Saturn keeping Emet a secret. Imu isn't aware of everything the Gorosei do. So, it's possible they come and go without Imu's knowledge more often than we'd think.

I think up until Egghead, Imu was trusting the Gorosei to more or less have all this handled for them. After Egghead is likely when that trust started to break down.

Imu didn't seem as bothered by Vegapunk's message, given his calm reaction. Unlike in Elbaf, where the stakes were higher (Marijoa in flames + conquering Elbaf as a key factor in conquering the world). Likewise, God Valley was at risk of unfolding larger incidents.

In chapter 1116, we do see Imu get angry at Vegapunk during the message. It did seem to bother Imu. But, not as much as Joyboy's Haki Knot did. That's likely what pushed Imu over the edge.

We are not talking about seeing with your own eyes that strong people left. We are talking about sensing with CoO that strong people left.

Even Luffy sensed Kizaru getting inside the island.

Plot.

Perhaps Oda didnt want to reveal Imu until Gunko and the Rocks God Valley flashback.

The Egghead Arc was meant only for the Gorosei reveal.

 

[AER15]

Because Imu with 5 Gorosei, Kizaru, Buster Call and CP0 failing to stop one yonko crew would be embarrassing

Imu would be the worst of the embarrassment

 

[Salah WG]

Imu isn't Scared of Nika or Joy Boy, She gets Emotional around him,
Gunko is literally Proof of what happened, One Side of Imu (The Guest) is a Villain & wants Nika/Joy Boy Gone, but Other Side (The Host) is actually an Ally of Joy Boy, similar to Gunko & Brook,

Imu is probably Joy Boy's Daughter or something.

Dude where the fuck you got those idea from.

Imu may have PTSD towards Nika/JoyBoy, sure. But get emotional?

Gunko is proof of what? She was remembering being the daughter (is it confirmed?) of Brook. This has absolutely nothing to do with JoyBoy/Nika. And nothing supports she being sided with them.

Why you people are so sure Imu is a woman?

Because I believe Imu is Two Characters sharing One Body, (Similar to Cavendish & Hakuba)
I don't mean it's Imu who is an Ally of Joy Boy, I said it's whoever is Hosting him,

I meant that this Imu/Mu who is some Guy or Devil or whatever, is possessing & controlling some Girl who was an Ally of joy Boy,
Similar to how currently, He is possessing Gunko who previously just remembered She is related to Brook & got Emotional about it,

This is why I believe, when Imu felt Joy Boy's Haki, it triggered the Female He is inhabiting, who got Emotional,
It's similar to when Chopper triggered Cindry's Emotions which made her briefly resist Moria's Power over her,

(I don't know if you played RE Games, but it's similar to Resident Evil 7, with Imu/Gorosei/Holy Knights being like Baker Family & this Devil is like Eveline who is corrupting & controlling them, just replace the Mold with Abyss or that Dark Matter whatever it is)

Oh sorry. Now I understood.

Then what he does when he is possessing others? Or he can possess more than one at a time?

 

[BattalGazi]

He was scared of massive Joyboy haki.

 

[Salah WG]

I think you can only Possess One Person, and must stick with them till They Die, and then you can be Reborn in another Person (Similar to DFs),
For example, Hakuba imo is an Ancient Character who is currently Living inside Cavendish & can't find a New Host until Cavendish Dies,

But this Imu guy found a way to create multiple bodies that are connected to him (Similar to how Vega Satellites are connected through Punk Records), He made his Body connected to this "Abyss" or whatever that Dark Matter is (Could be a DF or some Advanced Science) & then He discovered a way to either recreate other People from that matter or transform their cells into it,

So Imu isn't just turning other People into his Knights, He is also expanding his Body through them,
In other words, He isn't actually Possessing them, He is making them Part of himself, and He can choose to appear in any of them,
(It's like similar to Pica who controls the entire Golem, but He can choose to be anywhere in it, He just travels through that Stone)

(As I said, it's literally similar to Resident Evil 7 in every way possible)
In Short, Imu is only Possessing One Person who is apparently related to Joy Boy, but thanks to this Abyss Thing, He was able to expand his Body to include many others, They retain their Will but it's corrupted & twisted by Imu, and He can choose to appear in any of them.
