What are the odds Imu has the Devil Devil fruit rather than the Ocean Devil fruit?

I can’t argue when you put it like that. It’s just that there’s kind of blissful ignorance of everything bigger we’re learning of the world and how Luffy looks to be in the center of it. But Luffy is single minded in what he wants and trying to change his mind when he’s set on something is like climbing Mt. Everest.
I’m not expecting Luffy to suddenly realize he’s the reincarnation of the world’s first pirate and the reincarnation of a god and declare it , but if Oda can do this whole story where he can pull off Luffy being the chosen one without Luffy realizing what he’s been chosen for, then I’m gonna be mighty impressed.

I like the idea that Imu is just sat at home going ‘everything is fine’ only to get reports back and flip his shit because they expect everyone to do their job and they aren’t. And now that his home is somehow burning he’s finally had enough.

Part of what ruins that moment a bit. Luffy doesn't even get one of his crew members to take down the flag, like Nami could've done it with lightning. Instead he asks some guy he just met like, an hour ago to do it. Like Sniper King was cool, but it really should've been a Straw Hat that shot down the flag.

It would have taken too long, as far as Nami knew at that time. She had to produce a ton of warm and cold bubbles against Mrs. Doublefinger and she hadn’t had the time to learn her new Clima-tact. Honestly, it says a lot about Sogeking’s character that he would willingly become a world criminal for these people he’d just met, like, an hour ago.
I was hoping he’d show up in the New World; we haven’t seen him since Thriller Bark…

Honestly, Oda should have given Soge King a cover story like Enel. He's too popular to just completely ignore for 17 years.

I mean who would have done it properly?
Nami has lightning but it's not really a precision tool even now in the plot and you have to assume that most government flagpoles are earthed or you need to replace the flag every storm.
Zorro at that point in the story had ranged slashes but not really as precision tools.
Sanji and Chopper had no ranged attacks.
Sogeking was the right choice for what needed to be done, an accurate strike making a very clear point. He didn't need to just trash the roof, heck Luffy could have done that. He had to specifically target the flag to make the gesture clear. Hence the massive bounty he got which I'm certain someone will claim any day now when they find him.
Not as impressive as some of the Straw Hat Crew's mind. Heck, have you seen how Usopp's bounty compares after the Dressrosa arc?
Really puts the Enies Lobby arc into perspective. Turns out declaring war on the World Government doesn't annoy them that much in the grand scheme of things.

Here’s a question: if Sogeking comes back (Oda brought back fuckin’ Saul for Christssake), will he have Haki?
I will say that OP’s longevity did come at a disservice to moments like this. It’s hype when you’re reading it, but it’s undercut when the story moment of actually being a threat to the WG is basically redone with Luffy’s Emperor status.

In fairness, there wasn't much time for the World Government to do much. Next was Thriller Bark, where Kuma was sent to take Luffy's head, but of course Kuma went against these orders in the end. Then Sabaody where the Straw Hats were scattered across the globe. The next time they all showed up in a place the World Government would even expect, it was post-timeskip and they certainly tried to stop the crew, but simply failed. After that, the Straw Hats just kept going to places where it was hard or just impossible for the World Government to follow them.

Dragon is the most wanted man to the WG. His number 2 broke into the throne room and attacked Imu directly. And Imu let him live. Imu don’t give a fuck

Usopp gets Conqueror's Haki...BUT ONLY AS SNIPER KING.
Its not like they didn't try, heck even as of Alabasta Luffy was against one of the Walords and won a fight he should not have.
Same against CP9
They send an Admiral and a Vice Admiral after the Strawhats...and Garp halfasses it cause its Garp...then the Strawhats Coup De Burst away which Garp/Kuzan really didn't expect
Then..they get another Admiral after them and are only bailed out because of Rayleigh...and after that the Strawhats are basically in Yonko Territory so unless the World Government wants to start shit with The Yonko they really can't go after the Strawhats in force.
Unless you think Kizaru should have been sent out to go after the Strawhats specifically I think the escalation mostly makes sense in that the WG had people there to take out the Strawhats on paper...Luffy just hit above his weight class more often than not.
To be fair...Sabo was bleeding out pretty bad, and would have gotten deleted with Lulusia if Sabo hadn't practiced good Opsec.

i will never forgive hasan piker for spreading the plague of "omg guys the israeli palestinian conflict is just like one piece and all the good guys are like luffy omg" its so insufferable.
like these people act like oda is just as terminally online as them and his entire goal for writing one piece was to make some grand message about how the evil nazi fascists are bad. they ignore the whole thing where shit gets fucked up hard every place luffy goes. innocent people suffer peoples homes get destroyed all because luffy is doing luffy things. best example of this is whole cake island.
yeah big moms not the best but she protects her people and if not for luffy and company fucking up puddings wedding she would not have gone on a hunger rampage. at least with kaido and doflamingo they were actually terrible people hurting their people so luffy kind of helps out there.
but still luffy and pirates in general in the one piece world are not good people. the world government is bad sure but they also have plenty of people like koby and smoker who do geniunely care about protecting people. so trying to paint them as just like israel or nazis or whatever is fucking stupid.
i mean with how long imu has been around i have to imagine most of the time if not every time his guys handle things. so everything going on right now must be making him furious. just imagine sitting there hearing about some random pirate that attacked a government building to save the sole survivor of an attempt to erase history and thinking "oh thats fine they got some of the best guys working there"
only to learn they were all defeated and ever since then that same group of pirates keeps doing things so much that now the world is aware of some of the secrets you tried to hide.
at this point the only way imu could be even more furious is if/when he learns sabo survived and has told multiple people about his existence. thats also not including if morgans decides to tell the world about imu eventually.

I’m talking from a narrative construction process, across the big picture of the series, storming Enies Lobby is eating The Fifth Emperor’s lunch.

Well we see Imu can force people into contracts, which means God's Knights might be victims forced into their roles.
I am starting to wonder if Imu's powers are actually a Devil Fruit, he mentions Demons in the incantation to bind Broggy and Dorry, and The Power seems to come from the book that Imu summoned.
The other thing I think is of interest is the focus on making Broggy the King of Elbaf as if that is a specific requirement.

Let him live is a bit of exaggeration, Sabo managed to get away. I would also put money that Sabo is getting a bit more than the usual amount of pursuit his bounty would merit.
I think Imu offered it to the first two giants attacking him that he recognised since he said it to that pair. Essentially "I recognise you, that means you are a slight cut above those I don't recognise. You can be in charge."

Can’t make a deal with a country if there is no one to make deals with and just taking the country does not seem to be something Imu wants to do.

very interesting chapter. so my guess for imus powers is that he ate the devll devil fruit and it allows him to make contracts (or deals with the devil) to make people stronger in exchange for their lifespan.
so kinda like a better version of big moms fruit. i also think the reason he was able to force dorry and broggy into a contract is because he has awakened his fruit and the awakened version lets you force contracts on to people without them agreeing to it. i think thats why luffy is going to be a good fight for imu because luffy is the embodiment of freedom and will most likely not be able to be controlled.
he might also be able to free other people from the contracts as well. so there is hope that if gunko was forced into being a gods knight she might end up getting set free because of luffy.all that aside the fact that imu does not just destroy all the giants makes me think he needs them alive for some reason.
could imu be trying to force the image we saw on the tree into happening? also with goban going down to the underworld i guess he is going to be the first to see that luffy let loki free.
also another thought i just had but i wonder if bonneys fruit is actually the good version of imus. like instead of doing a contract could she just make people into the absolute strongest versions of themselves if she felt like it? similar to how she copied gear 5 from luffy?
