Eiichiro Oda, the mangaka behind One Piece, has finally revealed the mystery behind the death of the first Queen of Alabasta, Ratu Lily Nefertari, in the latest One Piece 1085. The chapter provides clues that Ratu Lily’s death was linked to Im Sama, and she was forced to perform the ultimate surgery on him in exchange for immortality.
It turns out that Ratu Lily was one of the 20 founders of the World Government during the Void Century, 800 years ago. However, unlike the others, she refused to become a Tenryuubito and opted to remain in Mariejoa to take care of her people in Alabasta. Unfortunately, shortly after making that decision, Ratu Lily disappeared without a trace, and according to King Cobra, she never returned home.
Therefore, it is believed that Ratu Lily was threatened by the World Government, particularly because she was the user of the Ope Ope no Mi devil fruit, which could grant immortality to its target at a significant cost to its user. The government offered her immortality in exchange for performing the surgery on Im Sama, the first subject of the fruit’s ultimate surgery.
The Ope Ope no Mi’s ultimate surgery was the power that could make its subject live forever, but the price to be paid was the user’s life. So, Ratu Lily’s death was the direct result of performing the operation on Im Sama. Consequently, Im Sama has been alive for more than 800 years since the beginning of the Void Century.
In conclusion, Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece 1085 sadly reveals that Ratu Lily Nefertari’s life tragically ended because of circumstances beyond her control. It was because of the ultimate power of the Ope Ope no Mi, which the World Government used to its advantage. The chapter provides readers with enough intrigue to keep them hooked and eagerly looking forward to upcoming episodes.
