Imu’s possession scene stands out as one of the most terrifying in the series. Saturn’s body mutates into a form reminiscent of the Ushi-oni, a mythical Japanese demon. As Imu reveals themselves, their unleashed Haki is so overwhelming that even Roger and Garp are stunned. The atmosphere collapses into chaos as reality seems to bend under their will. Rocks realizes in horror that he isn’t just facing a ruler, but “the world itself”—a being that may embody the concept of global domination and eternal imbalance.

The chapter also explores the limits of immortality. Despite the God Knights’ ability to regenerate, Rocks’s strikes manage to halt their recovery, implying that even the so-called “immortal” can bleed. The Ope Ope no Mi’s power of eternal youth appears to tie into this web of corruption, hinting at a sinister link between artificial immortality and Imu’s reign.

The question remains—what becomes of those transformed into demons? Are they forever bound to serve Imu, or discarded once their purpose is fulfilled? The lack of answers only magnifies the terror surrounding Imu’s control over life and identity itself.

One Piece Chapter 1164 drives home a disturbing truth: the God Valley tragedy was not just an isolated event but a reflection of the World Government’s perpetual cruelty. Imu’s actions symbolize the weaponization of life, family, and loyalty—proof that the most terrifying power in the world is not strength, but control.
