One Piece 1087 Reveals the Mystery of Im Sama’s Immortality and Connection to Nefertari Lily
In the latest chapter of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda finally unveils the long-standing mystery surrounding the immortality of Im Sama. Surprisingly, this revelation also ties in with the character Nefertari Lily, the former Queen of Alabasta 800 years ago. The revelation of Im Sama’s true identity brings forth a new enigma in the One Piece storyline. It is revealed that Im Sama is one of the 20 Kings who established the World Government 800 years ago.
Im Sama’s lineage is traced back to the Perona family, who were the leaders of a kingdom during that ancient period. The existence of Im Sama as a figure from the distant past is first hinted when the character recognizes Nefertari Lily, the queen from 800 years ago. Eiichiro Oda confirms that Im Sama has indeed been alive since the inception of the World Government.
This raises the question of how Im Sama managed to live for so long. The answer lies in the power of a Devil Fruit. Ivankov mentions that there is a Devil Fruit in One Piece capable of granting immortality to its user. Im Sama serves as the living proof of the existence of this fruit. The specific Devil Fruit referred to is the Ope Ope no Mi, currently consumed by Trafalgar Law.
The Ope Ope no Mi in One Piece possesses the unique ability to grant immortality to its user. The process involves the user sacrificing their own life through a special operation. It is revealed in One Piece 1087 that the disappearance of Nefertari Lily 800 years ago is connected to Im Sama’s immortality operation. Nefertari Lily was the previous user of the Ope Ope no Mi. She was forced to perform the immortality operation on Im Sama due to a grave mistake she made.
Nefertari Lily’s mistake was deliberately spreading knowledge of the Poneglyphs, ancient inscribed stones that hold information about the Void Century, throughout the world. This act led others to seek information about the events during the Void Century, something that Im Sama wanted to keep hidden. Im Sama resorted to manipulating history and punishing those who showed an interest in the Void Century.
One Piece 1087 reveals that the immortality operation can only be performed if the user willingly undergoes it. This was the case with Nefertari Lily, despite her initial refusal. Im Sama, who possessed the knowledge of the operation, successfully carried out the immortality procedure. This explains why Im Sama displays intense anger when Raja Cobra brings up Nefertari Lily during their encounter.
This latest chapter sheds light on the intricate past of One Piece, connecting Im Sama’s immortality to Nefertari Lily and the operation involving the Ope Ope no Mi. As the story continues to unfold, fans can expect more surprises and revelations in the world of One Piece.
