When it comes to the One Piece anime’s Reverie arc, viewers were expecting some hints about the national treasure of Mary Geoise, which was mentioned by the infamous Doflamingo during the Dressrosa arc. However, the only clue we got was the great straw hat shown during the event. So, is the treasure Doflamingo was referring to the same as the straw hat? Or could it be Imu, the ruler of the world in One Piece?
First, let us take a look at the hints about Mary Geoise’s national treasure. Since Doflamingo is the only outsider who has seen it, the clues he mentioned to Law must be significant. Firstly, the treasure’s existence alone could shake the world. Secondly, merely knowing the treasure’s location puts Doflamingo’s life in danger, which he can use to blackmail the world’s government. Thus, the treasure is top-secret.
What if the national treasure is Imu, the person who sits on the Empty Throne of the Gorosei and commands them? The Gorosei, who kneel before Emu, seem to be aware of Emu’s existence, but not much else is known. If the world found out about Imu’s existence, it could create chaos. It could even spark outrage among other monarchs who are not aware of Imu’s rule over the world behind the scenes.
Furthermore, there are signs that Imu comes from ancient times. This is indicated by Imu’s interest in the great straw hat hidden in Mary Geoise, which Joy Boy or Poseidon may have owned in the past. The fact that the Gorosei ask Imu for advice also suggests that Imu has been the leader of Gorosei for a long time. If Imu has been ruling the Empty Throne since its creation 800 years ago, Emu is definitely not a mere mortal.
This is why Doflamingo needs the Ope Ope no Mi and immortality to combat Imu. By defeating Imu, Doflamingo can take Emu’s place as the secret king of the world and acquire the national treasure of Mary Geoise. This theory is further supported by Imu’s knowledge about Nefertari Lili and her mistake. Furthermore, Imu also thinks of “D.” as his enemy, indicating a long life and ancient origins. In chapter 1086, Ivankov suspects that Imu is immortal due to the Ope Ope no Mi’s power.
In conclusion, Doflamingo’s mission to become the ruler of the world cannot be achieved without acquiring Mary Geoise’s national treasure, which could be Imu, the true leader of the world. The secrets surrounding this theory make One Piece all the more intriguing and exciting to watch.
