The Promise Joy Boy Couldn’t Keep | Imu’s Fear of Joy Boy
Imu’s Fear of Joy Boy
Imu displayed visible fear during the incident at Punk Hazard when the Iron Giant Emet unleashed Joy Boy’s Haki.
At Mary Geoise, Imu reportedly screamed in terror, casting aside all dignity.
After the events of Egghead, Imu identified Luffy as Joy Boy and expressed outrage at Saturn for failing to capture him.
Imu even punished Saturn for his failure, demonstrating their lingering fear of Joy Boy.
Such a profound fear implies that Imu had previously faced Joy Boy directly.
The FIVE ELDERS’ knowledge of the “ridiculous” power of Nika’s ability suggests that someone taught them about it firsthand—likely Imu.
This suggests that Imu personally experienced the overwhelming might of Joy Boy’s Haki.
Despite Imu’s current survival and Joy Boy’s apparent demise, the depth of Imu’s fear raises questions.
As one of the strongest beings in history, Imu may have initially underestimated Joy Boy.
However, as Kaido once stated, “Only Haki surpasses all.”
Perhaps Joy Boy’s Haki grew so rapidly during their battle that Imu found themselves overpowered.
This could explain Imu’s ongoing fear of Joy Boy’s return.
Luffy’s ability to develop his Haki during battles mirrors what Joy Boy might have achieved in his fight against Imu.
But why is Imu still alive?
