Imu is a fictional character in the popular manga and its anime adaptation, the One Piece series, written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. Disclaimer: This article will contain details revolving around Imu and might contain spoilers for some viewers. Readers are advised to proceed at their own discretion. Imu is the secret ruler of the One Piece world and the supreme authority behind the Five Elders. Learn about Imu 's true identity, devil fruit, immortality, and role in the final saga of One Piece . Imu , also known as the Creator, is the overarching antagonist of the One Piece franchise. They are the true ruler of the World Government and occupies the Empty Throne in secret, with the Five Elders being the public face of the organization who in truth serve their every whim. Due to their influence, they are accountable for the horrific actions from both the Five Elders and the World Government as a whole. Imu also seeks to hunt down those who possess the "Will of D" and kill them, with... One thing I find particularly interesting about Imu comes from their connection to the Gorōsei - the Five Elder Stars. Where every member of the 5 Elder Stars is named after a planet in our system, alongside the 3 ancient weapons, Imu ’s name so far has no meaning that connects it to our solar system.
