Imu


 * The subject of this article is also called Imu.

Im is the ruler of the world and holder of the Empty Throne, bearing the highest sovereignty within the World Government that even the Five Elders bow down to. However, Im's existence is kept a secret within the government and from the rest of the world.

Appearance
Im has only been seen silhouetted so far. Im possesses a humanoid figure with a hand resembling a human's and sharp almond eyes with red irises that have thin circles surrounding the pupils. Im wears a crown that has four sharp, incredibly tall spikes on the top and an extremely long robe that flows upon the ground a great distance behind them.

Personality
Little is known about Im's personality, but they have developed a particular interest in Monkey D. Luffy, Marshall D. Teach, Shirahoshi, and Nefertari Vivi. During the events of the Levely, Im kept wanted posters or photos of all four on their person. Despite this, Im seems to have a calm demeanor, as shown when they gently handled the butterflies in the Room of Flowers; though in that same moment, Im was also shown to have left the aforementioned pictures (save for Vivi's) pierced through and cut apart by weapons. Im is invested in remaining hidden from the world at large, and will take drastic action against their identity being discovered, to the point of annihilating entire islands and erasing them from history, showing greater cruelty and apathy than the Five Elders, who reluctantly ordered the destruction of Ohara.

Abilities and Powers
The full scope of Im's abilities are unknown, but the fact that they sit on the Empty Throne, a seat whose occupant would be associated with sole authority of the entire world, and the fact that the Five Elders, who are publicly considered to be the highest authorities of the World Government bow before them and address them with a great honorific, would indicate that Im has the greatest known authority within the World Government. Im appears to have control over an immensely powerful ability or weapon which enables the complete annihilation of entire islands within seconds. This weapon manifests in the sky, shrouded by clouds, and rains down beams of energy resembling lightning or lasers that engulfs their target in a massive explosion and leaves nothing in its wake. This was used to destroy the Lulusia Kingdom, and was able to be readied and fired within seconds.

Weapons
Im possesses a saber. It has not been seen being used in combat, but it has been used to cut apart bounty posters and photographs or stab them.

Levely Arc
As royals gathered at Mary Geoise for the Levely, Im went to a chamber deep within Pangaea Castle, and approached a large straw hat while carrying several bounty posters and photographs including Monkey D. Luffy's.



Im later went to the Room of Flowers and cut apart Luffy and Blackbeard's bounty posters and stabbed the photo of princess Shirahoshi. With a photo of Nefertari Vivi in hand, Im then met with the Five Elders while sitting on the Empty Throne. The elders requested that Im reveal the name of the "light" that needed to be extinguished from history.

During the Levely, the Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff Sabo came to the Empty Throne room and encountered Im. Sabo managed to escape, and the World Government went on high alert to locate him.

The World Government eventually traced Sabo's location to the Lulusia Kingdom after intercepting a call where he attempted to reveal Im's existence to the rest of the Revolutionary Army. After crossing the Lulusia Kingdom off a map, Im annihilated the country with an explosive energy barrage, with the Five Elders proclaiming that it never existed at all.

Trivia

 * Im is the name of a giant appearing in Norse mythology.
 * When written in katakana, Im's name is composed of the two radicals comprising the character 仏, which means "Buddha".
 * Im's position as ruler of the world is a title which the infamous pirate Rocks D. Xebec once aspired to. It is not known if Rocks was ever aware of Im or the Empty Throne, though the island in which he met his downfall, God Valley, was later wiped off the map much like the Lulusia Kingdom and a great kingdom during the Void Century that also disappeared.
