One Piece Chapter 1180 has Imu clashing with the Straw Hats, so here’s what to expect.
While Imu has been a looming threat for the Straw Hats for a long time, he’s never played an active role as their obstacle. Well, that was until the Elbaf Arc, when the hidden king joined the battle against the giants after taking possession of Gunko’s body.
Thanks to Luffy and Loki, Imu seemingly admitted defeat and left. However, it’s soon proven wrong as he returns to Elbaf in Chapter 1179, this time in his real form as Saint Nerona Imu.
With the Straw Hats already tired from battle and many of them injured, Imu’s arrival screams trouble for everyone. What this evidently very powerful character does now is revealed in One Piece Chapter 1180.

One Piece Chapter 1180 major spoilers
Titled ‘Omen’, One Piece Chapter 1180 shows the aftermath of Imu’s arrival on Elbaf. After descending at Aurust Castle in his real form, Imu first goes to Zoro’s group in the Western Village. He attacks Gerd to free Sommers, cutting some of her fingers in the process.
Zoro attacks Imu with ‘King of Hell: Onigiri,’ but he blocks the attack with his tail. He then creates a black flame called the ‘Omen’ and throws it at Zoro’s face, leaving him bloody and beaten.
‘Omen’ seems to be a versatile technique as Imu uses it to revive Sommers. He then sprouts a pair of dark wings and flies away. His next stop is Sanji’s group in front of the Owl Library. He snatches Killingham back and revives him using ‘Omen.’
Sanji throws a powerful kick at Imu, but he easily blocks it with his leg. He then kicks Sanji with black flames, throwing him away and causing an explosion. But all hope may not be lost yet, as Imu has a new opponent to face now. One Piece Chapter 1180 ends with Loki confronting Imu.
There’ll be no break next week, meaning One Piece will continue with its usual release schedule. Until the next chapter drops, check out our ranking of the best One Piece villains. You can also learn more about Bonney’s Devil Fruit and the Red Hair Pirates.
