Chapter Discussion One Piece

#1
We know Imu suffers from a Holyknight defeat
'Performing the Covenant Inflicts a cost upon Mu'.
- Imu suffers from it, but whether that cost is temperary or permanent is a bigger problem question.

Can Imu make unlimited Holyknights witb Covenant? No.
We were told it has been only reserved to 13 individuals.
But why specifically 13?

Now this could either be translation thing or something Idk, but if by 13 Imu meant for only 'Depth Covenant' then 5 for 'abyssmal Covenant', and One Imu himself. That's 19 total. And 19 kings of Void century excluding Nefartari Family.

Nothing is really stopping Imu to give Depth covenant to Admirals, because after that Admirals will always under Imu/World Government Control.

Rather, Admirals/Marines are the front face of World Government. Rather than Gorosei and Holyknights being the front face.

Imu cannot make more than 13 Depth Covenants is my guess. Why?

Vegapunk told us about this,

There is 21g of your soul.

Let's just say Imu the real Imu, Nerona Imu, made a pact with a demon.

This demon, like Tot Musica... exists seperately entirely.

This demon has soul of 21g.

Ancient 20 kings Summoned a demon like, Brook time skip, he was also summoned in a Demonic circle. (Not saying Brook is the demonic entity which was summoned).

But this demonic Entity Gave them powers,
20 Kings, each getting 1g soul from the real Demon.

And the Last 1g is The Demon Mu itself.
Which is exactly 'One piece'. Hidden away. Or the Heart which carries the Final 1g soul.

Roger Pirates said they were too 'early' destroying the heart/Soul currently would make no sense at all. Because remaining soul is still among World government.

On to why Imu's limit is 13 during Harald flashback. When it should be 20.
Because, Imu can recover the given soul or transfer the soul to another, but number always remains the same.

It can only be destroyed if the Holyknight/Gorosei are killed completely.

We know Lily ran away from mariejois but never reached Alabasta. She was either killed or soul taken back which resulted in her death.

Rest of the kings, Likely died in battle against Nika or someone.

With Nika gone, Remaining kings and their ancestor took their place.

After the death of Harald the covenant count should be dropped to 12.
- 5 Gorosei
- Sommers
- Shamrock
- Killin
- Gunko

Which is 9, 3 more Holyknights exists which we do not know of.

Out of these 3, I assume one was Saturn Jaygarcia himself.

- His soul was extracted back and now supposed to be given to someone.

And the most likely candidate Chosen was none other than Loki himself. Right after egghead.

Also during Harald coronation as Holyknight. It was said, it was supposed to shanks turn to get the Depth covenant.
Someone else either died or Soul was taken from that Specific Holyknight.
With shanks being unavailable it was given to Harald.

Also about Nefartari, there is also a chance that part of soul still exists in her family, Like Vivi, which Imu said he desires. He desires a piece of himself back. So theory about Kuma fruit was used to spread ponelglyph around the world is possible and so is her ability to take away that part of her soul to carry on in next lineage.

If not all of this,

Imu specifically said reserved for 13 individual only.
When there was 20 kings to begin with and One left which is nefartari, that still leaves us with 6 unknown kings. And what happened to them.


All in one. The real 'Nerona Imu' eat a devil fruit like Tot Musica. And the demon seperated it's soul among 20 kings.

As Imu ate the fruit he became the host. But Imu himself gained a part of the soul.

21g = 21 pieces of soul.
20 kings of world government have 1g each if the soul providing them with Omen and Buffs.

One piece is the one piece!
