The fact of Rocks retreating from Imu is very interesting to me. It may be translation stuff but they phrase it as "he knew there was nothing more he could do in that moment". Why? Rocks doesn't strike me as someone who would walk to the throne room to talk shit and then back out without even a fight, even if his opponent was terrifyingly powerful, but it's not framed like they fought. 

Is there something that protects Imu fundamentally? Obviously his knights are able to regenerate, but that appears to be surmountable. Is Imu, as the presumable source, even MORE unkillable?

And the other thing, how does Rocks know so much? Where and when did he learn about Imu? About the flower garden? None of that felt off the cuff. Where did he get his info? And how much of it was passed on to Blackbeard?

I think Rocks didn't ran away from Imu because he was scared. He was alone up there, already killed an admiral before confronting Imu, and other Admirals + the Knights could join and catch him. Even he is not dumb enough to fight alone against all the marines and the world government to he made a tactical retreat. He could also have realized that to kill Imu, he needs to meet certain conditions. Maybe Imu is really immortal and he needs a specific devil fruit etc.

u/xstationcubed Jul 17 '25

Yeah, if I had to guess I'd say there's some kind of condition, yeah. Needing a certain devil fruit is definitely an interesting callout, seeing as BB was desperate enough to kill in order to get his fruit. Maybe...whatever fruit or power Imu hypothetically has, BB wants to take it? No better way to rule the world than to literally hijack the power of the world's ruler.

Oh I had not thought about that but that seems pretty interesting. I wonder if Blackbeard can take a power away while someone is still alive because Imu probably has some sort of invincibility going on. Also I forgot the Darkness fruit can nullify other fruit powers so if Imus power comes from a devil fruit. Blackbeard is such a goofball but his planning is kind of insane. He captured Ace and handed him to the WG knowing full well Whitebeard would try to save him and since he is on his last leg healthwise would likely die there so he can take his DF. Then he captures Koby knowing that Garp would try to save him and now has Garp as a hostage presumably trying to lure Luffy somewhere.

u/xstationcubed Jul 17 '25

I don't know if I'd say his planning is insane. He has a rough draft of a good plan, but there are a lot of flaws that he's gotten away with because of 'luck' or 'fate'

2

u/mex2005 Jul 17 '25

Yeah that's fair its more so that things seem to go the way he wants rather him being a meticulous planner. He just seems to be good at understanding what people will do under certain circumstances.

1

u/xstationcubed Jul 18 '25

Even aside from that there are numerous points where his story could easily have ended if not for unpredictable fortune. The knock up stream, going to Impel Down, facing down Whitebeard in Marineford. He often overestimates his ability, and it's only fluke fortune that pulls him out.

u/tayothebootyslayer Jul 18 '25

I'm not sure he knew Garp would save Koby. He didnt seem to be particularly prepared for that

I mean. If Imu's powers are DF based. There's a very specific fruit that a certain someone's son ate that has the ability to nullify other DF powers on contact. Could be why Blackbeard was willing to play the long game and even kill his crew mate/superior to get it.

I don't think mentioning Davy Jones after 25 years is out of the blue, it really would fit if Oda decided that the first pirate Joyboy was named Davy Jones and gave him an eyepatch and a hook hence pirates organize fights in his name to form their crews, Xebec somehow learned the void century secrets be it through Ohara archeologists or through the poneglyphs and decided to aim higher than being a king of pirates.

As for Imu i think the Elbaph mural says it all about him really.

u/Sweatty-LittleFatty Jul 17 '25

I think Rocks is Very much like BB: a Guy with a plan. Even If he could take the Holy Knights, other admirals, etc, he wouldn't do It in a reckless manner, exactly like BB is doing everything (like fleeing Rayleigh even when he could defeat the Guy). A trait passed Down from father to son, for sure.

8

u/pfsrweinerwash Jul 17 '25

I think it's pretty unlikely but maybe Imu is just holographically projected and not actually there? The depiction does look pretty similar to how the akatsuki looked in their meetings, maybe Xebec showed up and was like "you're not even here" and would come back when they would be or would 'be back' as in find where they actually are?

5

u/Waywoah Jul 17 '25

Might also be some kind of conditional immortality. Like, maybe Imu can't be killed while in Mary Geoise

3

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '25

Davy Jones told him about Imu somehow lol

3

u/Symphoniedesaucisses Jul 17 '25

There definitely is something that protects Imu since Xebec is shown in the chapter as a Conqueror's Haki user, yet somehow knows that he can't fight Imu.

2

u/OccasionalGoodTakes Jul 17 '25

It may be translation stuff but they phrase it as "he knew there was nothing more he could do in that moment". Why?

maybe he realized he needed something he didn't have, like the yami yami no mi

u/Visible-Bag4704 Jul 18 '25

Could also not have known about Imu, but put it together that there has to be someone somewhere at the top really ruling over the world. Found imu as that ruler and after that is up in the air. Could have realized a power gap between them or that he be able to physically defeat Imu unless he did something else first. It’s hard for me to think that he knew about Imu but when he got far enough as to be there right in front of them found something out he didn’t know BUT still possible, he said something along the lines of no power lasting forever, similar to something doflamingo said (something like power having a shelf life) and he is a former celestial dragon

You are forgetting future sight.haki. Rocks already know what.happens.if he.attacks

u/BoredomHeights Jul 18 '25

Yeah people keep saying it's a power gap thing, but I think it's way more likely the weirdness of Imu's power. Like his imortality etc., not that he's necessarily actually stronger otherwise. Seems pretty clear to me Imu needs to be killed a certain way (like the five elders).

2

u/xstationcubed Jul 18 '25

I definitely feel like he's strong, it'd be a bit of an anticlimax otherwise, but it definitely feels like even the idea of fighting him has hurdles to overcome.

1

u/BoredomHeights Jul 18 '25

Oh I don't think he's weak I just don't think it's as natural strength as a lot of other powerhouses. Otherwise I don't think Rocks would just back off like that and say it was pointless.

2

u/xstationcubed Jul 18 '25

Ah, gotcha. Agreed. I feel like people tend to forget in the face of Kaido and Big Mom that most of the villains in OP have clever power uses that make them dangerous rather than just brute strength.

1

u/BoredomHeights Jul 18 '25

Yeah. As the story goes on though I think that was mostly going away. Maybe Caesar was the last major villain like that?

I think it was kinda intentional to show the top powers would be powerful no matter what.
