SomeOne Piecetheories can make you overthink life, others can make you overthink the sanity of the theorist. Which one is it going to be this time? You will figure it out as you go.
One particular theory questions the relationship betweenOne Piece‘s main antagonist, Imu, and the woman he is seemingly obsessed with, Nefertari D. Lili. In a shocking twist, the theory claims that Imu has a rightful claim to remember her and why he needs Vivi.
One PieceTheory Claims Imu was Married to Queen Lily
In a freshOne Piecetheory called “The Husband Theory,” it has been claimed that Imu and Nefertari D. Lily were actually married to each other. The timeline of the conjugation isn’t specified and it probably happened during the Void Century.
Apparently, the two heads were married for political alliance and benefits, butImu eventually fell in love with her. Unfortunately for him, Joy Boy arrived just in time to upend the corrupt system of the world.

Lily fell in love with Joy Boy and realized the corruption in the world. Alternatively, she could have been forced to marry Imu and Joy Boy was the savior she sought. Imu found out about Lily’s true feelings and could not spare her life.
But before he could realize what was happening in Lily’s mind, she had already fallen for Joy Boy and had woken up to the disastrous deeds of the Government. She thus took the middle name ‘D’ from Joy Boy, and it has been passed down in her bloodline for generations.
You could compare Lily’s awakening and Joy Boy’s impact on her life with how Luffy changedVivi’s lifeand helped her. Unlike Luffy, Joy Boy might have been unsuccessful in saving her from her tragic fate. Imu’s relationship with Lily also explains whyhe is trying to find Vivy.
Queen Lily had Ope Ope no Mi
Thetheoryalso claims that Queen Lily possessed the Ope Ope no Mi, the Paramecia type Devil Fruit that grants immortality. It is currently in the possession of Trafalgar D. Law, but its previous users are unknown.
While Ope Ope no Mi helps its users cure untreatable illnesses, and miraculour recoveries, it also has a fatal flaw. By sacrificing the life of its user, the fruit can grant immortality to one individual. If Queen Lily possessed the Ope Ope no Mi fruit then Imu’s obsession with her could be explained.

As explained earlier, Imu was in love with Lily or atleast he was already involved in a political marriage with her. He must have known about her devil fruit powers. After he had his hreat broken and realized that Lily’s loyalty lay with his sworn enemy, he might have tried to take advantage of her.
He might have forced her to sacrifice her life and grant immortality to him. This describes why Imu is an immortal and has been alive since the Void Century.
