Future Events Garling is the real villain among the celestial dragons, not Imu

[Sugoi]

This is something I suspected as soon as Garling became a gorosei. Garling does not give off the same bootlicking vibe as the other gorosei, it is clear that he has his own motives for becoming a gorosei rather than just to serve imu. This is why garling has his own spot in the race for one piece panel, despite imu also being there. Garling has his own horse in this race. Every single group in the series has a traitor, oda milks this trope dry whenever he can, and its obvious that Garling will be the traitor here.

Imu is not evil like Garling. Garling is the person that Oda really wants us to hate. Imu will end up like obito. Everything Imu does is because he genuinely thinks its the logical decision for the better of the world, he doesnt get pleasure from it. Oda isn't trying to make us hate imu, he more so wants us to think he is cool and mysterious, which is basically how the mainstream fandom perceives him. Garling on the other hand is both evil and sadistic. He represents the celestial dragon ideology much more closely, being the epitome of a scumbag narcissist.

Oda choosing to reveal Imus powers already and have him face luffy is a huge red flag for him being an endgame villain. Oda is revealing Imus powers before Garlings, so hes planning for Imu to be taken out first. Luffy will still fight and defeat Imu, continuing the history of the mural, but garling will do something to enable Imus defeat (or not supported imu in something, where he could have), and will then become the final threat of the celestial dragons. People thinking the mural is the be all end all of this series are falling into odas trap, there is going to be twists, this is just one of them.

Garling worships great imu. Imu has been responsible for evil shit done for centuries and is creator of the corrupted system.

Garling is a very ery small part of the corrupted system.

This is something I suspected as soon as Garling became a gorosei. Garling does not give off the same bootlicking vibe as the other gorosei,

Pretty much every thing Garling has actually done in the story is bootlicking. He was introduced executing a celestial dragon for being out of line from WG law, and his motive in this flashback is that the ¨Great one¨ aka Imu, would be happy with the discovery he made on God Valley.

t is clear that he has his own motives for becoming a gorosei rather than just to serve imu.
.

Like what? Being a Gorosei means:
Garling will have to work directly under Imu, and his actions can be montiered by Imu´s other elite agents
Imu can literally *kill him* any second he wants, through controlling his soul or something.

He basically gave up the *relative* freedom he had prior to work for Imu more directly, lol.

This is why garling has his own spot in the race for one piece panel, despite imu also being there. Garling has his own horse in this race.

So do you also expect Sabo to betray Dragon? Will Shamrock betray Garling who betrays Imu? The spread is simply highlighting characters who are younger and more ambitious, and Garling likes discovering things that would please Imu, while the other Gorosei know to stay in line and don´t want to explore too much, to not end up like Saturn.

Every single group in the series has a traitor, oda milks this trope dry whenever he can, and its obvious that Garling will be the traitor here.

We already had the traitor in the Gorosei, it was Saturn, who in his desire to research the ancient Kingdoms science, ended up violating Imus orders and preserving the Giant robot, who was on Joyboys ship.

He nuked an island because it was close enough to test an ancient weapon. He´s shown complete indifference to human life.

He represents the celestial dragon ideology much more closely, being the epitome of a scumbag narcissist.

Why? If the celestial dragon identity is about thinking you´re a god, Imu represents this more then anyone else. He lives completely secretly(like Abrahamic ideas of a God), speaks of himself in that way ¨Mu¨, isn´t supposed to be seen, and doesn´t leave his throne much. Garling on the other hand is more like a Pagan idea of a god, he goes to the lower world, hangs out, he even does *politics* and tries convincing GV to join the WG(Sure, Imu is doing that rn in Elbaf, but that´s because of urgency, he doesn´t usually reveal himself). And also, Imu literally invented the CD ideology.

Oda choosing to reveal Imus powers already and have him face luffy is a huge red flag for him being an endgame villain. Oda is revealing Imus powers before Garlings, so hes planning for Imu to be taken out first.

first of all, aren´t we at a flashback where we could currently see Garlings powers like, next week? Sure, Imu is present on Elbaf, but not even through his own body. Plus, this is Imu´s powers being shown after years of buildup, there is no hard rule that we can´t see anything of the villain at all until the literal last arc.

What Kind of Connections did Garling Need to know about the existence of imu

 

[Shivercalero]

How about they're all villains.

Garling seems to get closer and closer to control Mother Flame though. Imu put York under his direct command and it's getting more and more likely that he was in fact the one who discovered Uranus through God Valley.

Garling with Mother Flame could potentially hold the Holy Land hostage while imposing his own military rule in charge of all the other Celestials. Not sure if that's the route Oda is going for though with Blackbeard, Akainu and Imu around already.

 

[MonochromeYoru]

I think Garling will be an amazing villain. But imu will be the final villain.

Maybe like Madara and Kaguya.

In fact, i could actually see Imu Auswahlen Garling and all the CDs he has given power to, in the final fight against goofy+ whoever as he's losing.

 

[Reborn]

I think Garling would be amazing villain like IMU..But BB will be the final villain

Already ahead of you, Sugoi-chan.

Garling Sommers is the real villain among the celestial dragons, not Imu

 

[Bad English]

Garling Sommers is the real villain among the celestial dragons, not Imu

True

 

[Salah WG]

Water 7 is Sinking ---> World is Sinking
Water 7 have Seven Docks ---> Worlds have Seven Regions (Red Line, Paradise, New World, Four Blues)
Galley-La Company Rule Water 7 ---> World Government Rule The World
Iceburg is Ruler of Water 7 ---> Imu is Ruler of The World
Iceburg have Five Top Shipwrights ---> Imu have Five Top Celestial Dragons
Iceburg have Secretary Kalifa ---> Imu have Secretary Gunko
Kalifa is Part of CP-9 ---> Gunko is Part of Holy Knights
CP-9 Triggered Ohara Incident ---> Holy Knights Triggered God Valley Incident
Demons of Ohara were Killed except Robin ---> Demons (Davy Clan) of God Valley were Killed except Blackbeard
Shipwrights Provide Ships ---> Celestial Dragons Provide DFs (or you could say Dreams that can be achieved using them)
Iceburg before his Company was Part of Tom's Workers ---> Imu before WG was from Land of Gods
Iceburg Inherited Tom's Sea Train ---> Imu Inherited his Special DF/Power/Abyss (It's Unique DF-Like Power, just like Sea Train is a Unique Ship)
... etc

I can Continue non-stop, with Elbaph being Franky House in this Story, and DF Inherited is like Inherited Pluton Blueprints ... etc
But anyway, Imu isn't The Villain, He is Royalty of this World Arc, He is Targeted by Blackbeard (Just like Robin tried to Kill Iceburg), and Holy Knights are New CP-9, the only question here is, who is their Lucci?

It's most probably Garling, but it could also be Shamrock, however with Recent Chapter making Shanks look like Goku, meaning Shamrock is like Raditz, then it's possible We still haven't seen Vegeta/Nappa of Holy Knights, who are gonna be New Lucci/Kaku,

Either way, I have never ever considered Imu a Villain, I've always said that She/He is Endangered by Someone else & that's who Luffy must Defeat. Don't be surprised if Luffy accepts to help Imu after meeting her soon.
