As the story of One Piece progresses, the mystery surrounding the enigmatic figure of Im Sama is starting to unravel. In One Piece 1085, Eiichiro Oda drops some hints about the strange habits of Im Sama which he has been doing for the past 800 years. It turns out that the odd behavior of Im Sama is related to the remnants of each victim that he has murdered.
The connection between Im Sama’s obsession and his murders offers a glimpse into his disturbing mind. Oda reveals that Im Sama has a deep-seated obsession with taking possessions from those he kills. The latest victim on his list includes Nefertari Lily, the first King of Alabasta and one of the twenty founders of the World Government.
Unlike the other founders, Nefertari Lily refused to join the Tenryuubito, and instead chose to leave Mariejoa and settle in the Kingdom of Alabasta with her people. She proved to be an extraordinary ruler as she rescued the surviving members of the destroyed Ancient Kingdom and kept a record of their story on a Poneglyph.
Moreover, Nefertari Lily also played a significant role in sealing the Ancient Weapon Pluton in Wano, as she participated in the downfall of the Ancient Kingdom. But her good deeds did not go unnoticed by Im Sama, who regarded her as a threat and had to eliminate her.
As a memento of his kill, Im Sama has taken the sword that belonged to Nefertari Lily. He has also been seen in possession of the giant straw hat of Joy Boy, his oldest enemy. These possessions are a clear indication of the twisted obsession of Im Sama.
In conclusion, One Piece 1085 provides us with a clear insight into the mind of Im Sama and the dark obsession that drives him. The story also sheds light on the historical context of the World Government and its involvement in the horrific crimes committed by its tyrants. It remains to be seen how the Straw Hat Pirates will confront Im Sama and unveil his diabolical schemes.
