As Eiichiro Oda showcased a glimpse of Im Sama’s power in One Piece 1086, many fans began to wonder about the type and real strength of the Devil Fruit possessed by Im Sama. Until now, Im Sama had only been seen transforming into a monster with long fangs from time to time, who could swallow Sabo’s Mera Mera no Mi ability and shoot shadow arrows capable of injuring Logia types. So, what is the actual power of Im Sama’s Devil Fruit? The answer may be found in One Piece 1086.
Dr. Vegapunk previously explained that a Devil Fruit emerges from the dreams and desires of many people. But what happens if a Devil Fruit appears from someone’s nightmare? That is precisely what happened to Im Sama and Gorosei. Gorosei managed to obtain a corrupted Devil Fruit that is influenced by evil thoughts or nightmares. Their Devil Fruit is made up of bad dreams and fears, rather than pure dreams and desires. Surprisingly, Im Sama was the one who contributed to the corruption of the Devil Fruit. Thus, the World King probably possesses the original Devil Fruit of the Void, also known as kekosongan in the Indonesian language. A few fans realized that Oda had mentioned this Void Devil Fruit in the previous chapters. Specifically, when Im Sama referred to himself as Mu.
If you pay attention to the left side of the comic panel, Oda explained that Mu can mean void or dream. Moreover, before the formation of the World Government 800 years ago, Im Sama referred to that era as the Void Century. The manga creator seems to suggest that Im Sama’s power is in contrast to the power of other Devil Fruits. He possesses the original Devil Fruit of the Void, which is a nightmare-filled fruit. These are signs that show why Im Sama’s Devil Fruit differs from the other Devil Fruits that exist in the world of One Piece.
It would be captivating to see how Oda reveals the secrets of Im Sama’s Devil Fruit in One Piece 1086 or future chapters. Indeed, Im Sama’s story, history, and abilities are intriguing. Hopefully, the upcoming updates will satisfy the curiosity of One Piece fans regarding the Devil Fruit of Im Sama and other mysterious characters in the One Piece universe.
