Devil Fruits grant incredible powers, but anyone who eats one loses the ability to swim. Depending on the type, the powers fall into Logia, Paramecia, or Zoan categories. However, there is a strict rule: a person can only consume one Devil Fruit. Oda has confirmed in the story that if someone eats more than one, their body will explode.
Yet, there is one exception to this rule: Marshall D. Teach, also known as Blackbeard. Somehow, his body allows him to possess more than one Devil Fruit power. But there’s another character in One Piece known to have not just two, but possibly countless Devil Fruit abilities. Oda has revealed that the World Lord Imu holds multiple powers, with more details to be unveiled soon.
Imu Can Use More Than Two Devil Fruit Powers
Fans might wonder how and when Imu uses multiple Devil Fruit abilities, but Oda has already confirmed this in the manga.
First, Imu can use his own power, which seems to be a Devil God ability. He can grow wings, wield a trident, and perform magic. Fans have seen this power during the Elbaf arc, but it’s clear his strength goes far beyond that.
Second, Imu can possess other people’s bodies. For example, in the case of Gunko, Imu can access all of Gunko’s powers, including the abilities of the Aro Aro no Mi Devil Fruit.
Additionally, Imu can freely grant or revoke powers from others. All Five Elders, the Holy Knights, and some Marines derive their powers from Imu. For instance, Imu easily stripped Saint Saturn of his Gyuki power and killed him instantly. Similarly, Imu granted powers to all the elders at one point, suggesting he can use any ability they hold.
Imu, The Strongest Being in the World
Imu’s ability to wield multiple Devil Fruit powers makes him unique and the strongest character in One Piece. Not only can he use various powers, but he can also transfer his abilities to others. This establishes Imu as the most powerful figure in the One Piece world.
Imu remains the strongest character so far, and fans will soon witness this in the Elbaf arc. In a confrontation with Luffy, Imu is expected to use multiple powers, including the Devil God ability, the Aro Aro no Mi, and possibly many others he has accumulated over time, potentially accessed through magical books.
