One Piece finally reveals the truth behind the five elders' powers and immortality
One Piece's final dark saga is becoming more grim and fans are finally finding out how the Five Elders and Holy Knights became immortal monstrosities One Piece is one of the most popular and longest-running Japanese anime and manga franchises in the world. Written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda, it chronicles the adventures of a young pirate named Monkey D. Luffy as he travels the world in search of the fabled treasure called the 'One Piece.' Now in its climactic final saga, One Piece is going all in on its most dangerous foes—especially the Five Elders, the Holy Knights, and that secretive, shadowy figure, Imu. In a surprising twist, fans just discovered the horrifying secret behind how some of them derived their superghastly abilities and unearthly longevity. One Piece chapter 1150 reveals Imu uses dark magic to grant immortality After years of speculation, in One Piece Chapter 1150, fans finally saw much more of Imu, the shadowy ruler of the world. Imu has remained in the shadows for much of the narrative, now they're coming out front and they're much more lethal than anyone thought. Imu is more than a political chief. They, or it, are a demon god who can conjure dark magic and has been using this magic to dominate the Five Elders and Holy Knights. This is one of the biggest changes made to the narrative, introducing magic and the demonic contracts they entail to the world of One Piece. "Allow Mu to show thee the dominance of a God!" – Imu How does Imu make the five elders immortal? As we've learned in the most recent chapter, Imu is able to cast unique and powerful spells known as Demon Contracts through a mystical grimoire. When an individual signs this social contract—voluntarily or involuntarily—they forfeit some portion of that lifetime. In exchange, they receive immortality, nearly unlimited strength and Yokai abilities (superpowers rooted in Japanese mythology). There is a catch. These contracts don't just deprive the person of their agency in creating these acts, but binding them with loyalty contracts magically makes them undead servants of Imu until their free will is restored. That's why the Five Elders aren't just immortal—that's because they are unconditionally loyal to Imu. "In exchange for a fleeting lifespan, thou shall gain an immortal body and prodigious strength!" – Imu Why the five elders and holy knights obey Imu If you think about it, the Five Elders are like the most powerful, influential guys in the One Piece world. They were already feared for their political influence. Their recent clashes during the Egghead Arc have established that they possess downright horrifying combat abilities as well. Fans were quick to be thrown off at the sight of them using Yokai-like abilities, even more perplexed by their apparent immortality. Now it all starts coming together. Despite their age, it seems that the Five Elders signed the Demon Contract of their own accord, sacrificing their humanity in exchange for immortality and mystical abilities. The Holy Knights, exhibiting signs of inhuman abilities, appear to have undergone a similar process. Imu vs Luffy: The final battle is coming For Luffy to truly become Pirate King, he'll have to fight Imu in an epic showdown and that battle has been set up ever since Imu's reveal. If Imu embodies everything dark, authoritarian and deathly, then the ideals of freedom, hope, life that Luffy now embodies are in direct conflict. From our perspective, the tale is gradually building to an ugly climax between these two warring factions. Now that the Elbaf Arc is in disarray and the Sun Realm has been hinted at as the next destination, it isn't too long before we see Luffy and Imu clash. As we have seen multiple times already, One Piece magic, mythology and overall power system is more expansive and deeper than ever before. Where to read One Piece Chapter 1150? We're working hard to finalize things and hope that everyone can join us as we take flight. Official Release Date: June 1, 2025 (Sunday for most non-US readers) Time: 12:00 AM JST (Japan Standard Time) The chapter will be available for free on Manga Plus and Viz Media. As yet unannounced, this chapter should further explore Imu's powers, the nature of the magic book in their possession, and the full extent of the Five Elders' transformation. One Piece just got even more intense Whether it's the big reveal about Imu's demon magic or the Five Elders' version of immortality, everything is turned upside down. Fans are just now getting to see One Piece enter this new phase, as all of those thematic elements are combined with laser-focused, intense action in the final saga. If you've been watching for decades or this is your first foray into the series, there's no better time to dive into the world of One Piece. Watch for more inflammatory disclosures as this shocking tale races toward its fiery finale! Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .

One Piece Episode 1130: What to expect from the ‘God Valley Incident'
By Aman Shukla Published on May 22, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated May 22, 2025, 14:00 IST One Piece Episode 1130 marks a significant moment in the anime's Egghead Arc, shifting focus to a flashback that explores the God Valley Incident, an event that occurred 38 years before the current timeline. This episode, airing on May 25, 2025, at 11:15 PM JST, will be available for streaming on Crunchyroll with subtitles shortly after its Japanese broadcast. The episode centers on Kuma's experiences during this historic event, offering fans their first animated glimpse into one of the most critical moments in One Piece lore. What Is the God Valley Incident? The God Valley Incident is a legendary battle that took place on the now-vanished island of God Valley in the West Blue. This event, which occurred 38 years ago, involved a chaotic clash between the Rocks Pirates, led by the infamous Rocks D. Xebec, and an unlikely alliance of the Roger Pirates, led by Gol D. Roger, and the Marines, spearheaded by Monkey D. Garp. The incident also coincided with the Celestial Dragons' triennial Native Hunting Competition, a cruel event where locals and slaves were hunted for sport. The World Government later erased all records of God Valley, making it a mysterious and pivotal moment in the One Piece world. Key Characters in the God Valley Incident Rocks Pirates : Led by Rocks D. Xebec, this crew included future Yonko like Big Mom, Kaido, and Whitebeard, making it one of the most formidable pirate groups in history. Their goal was to disrupt the World Government, possibly targeting the Celestial Dragons. Roger Pirates and Marines : Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp formed a rare alliance to defeat Rocks D. Xebec, a decision that remains one of the great mysteries of One Piece. Their victory cemented their legacies, with Garp earning the title 'Hero of the Marines.' Bartholomew Kuma and Ivankov : As slaves during the incident, Kuma and Revolutionary Ivankov seized the chaos to escape, with Kuma acquiring the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi (Paw-Paw Fruit), which allowed him to save himself and 500 others. Celestial Dragons and God's Knights: The Celestial Dragons orchestrated the Native Hunting Competition, with St. Figarland Garling, leader of the God's Knights, playing a significant role.
