Eiichiro Oda’sOne Pieceis arguably the most influential shonen series worldwide. Through Luffy’s journey to become the Future Pirate King, Oda-sensei narrates an epic tale of friendship and adventure, captivating fans for over 25 years without leaving a single moment of boredom.
Despite the long list of 1000+ episodes or chapters, Oda-sensei has yet to unveil several mysteries of theOne Pieceworld. While Imu’s identity and Red-Haired Shanks’ true plan remain a mystery, the legendary mangaka is finally shedding light on the mysteries of the Void Century from 800 years ago.
In the recent manga developments, readers witnessed Luffy taking on the Five Elders, where the victory seemed uncertain for the Straw Hats. With Luffy’s crew heading to Elbaf, the arc that Oda-sensei has expressed the most excitement about drawing, the iconic manga will be entering a one-month hiatus, leaving fans at the edge of their seats. It’s important to realize that Oda-sensei has been narrating the beloved story for decades, dedicating countless hardworking years without a break.

However, duringOne Piece‘s early debut, Oda-sensei didn’t gain much recognition as the manga had yet to showcase the iconic moments that define it today. Surprisingly, not manyOPfans are aware of this, but the legendary mangaka dropped over 171 chapters straight from 1997 to 2001 (for almost four years) without taking a single break.
Interestingly, that’s Oda-sensei’s longest streak ever where he prioritized covering the most intriguing parts of the story to keep fans’ momentum and interest in Luffy’s journey. Owing to Oda’s years of hard work and compelling narrative, have led fans to regard Oda-sensei as a true genius, making him the richest manga creator in the community.
One PieceTheory: Imu is Nefertari Lily from the Void Century
While Oda-sensei has remained secretive about the King of the World’s identity, there are tons of rumors connecting Imu toNefertari Lily,the queen who disappeared after the Void Century. By far, Imu’s identity remains one of the greatest mysteries, and many fans, including me, are eagerly awaiting Oda-sensei to drop more hints about this character.

We already know that the famous One Piece treasure is connected to the mysterious figure from the Forgotten Void Century, Joyboy. Joyboy, who was the previous user of Luffy’s Devil Fruit, lost to Imu 800 years ago, establishing Imu as one of themost evil and greatest antagonistsin the series.
Unlike the other 19 kings who founded the World Government, Lily did not leave her sword at the Empty Throne. This could mean that Queen Lily didn’t submit to the alliance and joined forces with Joyboy betraying Imu’s trust. Not to forget, the presence of Lily’s flowers in Imu’s private chamber seems to offeranother hint between Imu and Lily, possibly pointing to their shared past.
One Pieceis available to stream on Crunchyroll,while the manga can be read on Viz Media.
