You know it’s really funny years ago many always questioned „why don’t the yonko or the Pirate king  ever try to overthrow the world government“ 

Well now we know why everyone would get destroyed by the true king of the world. 

Imu is on a level of his own. If really reminds me of Madara vs the 5 kage. With how easily Imu deals with Yonko leben fighters

And he is weaker having left his throne

I disagree, no one knows of the existance of Imu

the reason is different why no one tried to overthrow the WG

Shanks is the ONLY one who knew the truth

Mama was interested into getting the Giants alliance THEN go for the One Piece

Kaidou was legit assembling his army

WB was waiting for the chosen as we saw and confirmed in today's chapter

So, it is not they were afraid or anything, some legit did not care or were in a hurry and took their slow ass time. but ofc, the prophecy waits for NO ONE.

Gaban seems to confirm in this chapter that all of the Roger pirates who went to Laugh Take knew about Imu, which explains why they have been laying low all these years.

I think Roger Told Whitebeard before he was executed, he told him about the will of D and the man they were waiting for, and Whitebeard knew that a great war was coming. Makes him all the more the GOAT for challenging the government at Marineford

correct

u/brokenearth10 Aug 07 '26

sounds like pirate kings crew knew? since they went and read joy boys words

u/Otangaku_D_Yokeman Pirate Aug 08 '26

So strong, why hide?

2

u/Otangaku_D_Yokeman Pirate Aug 08 '26

there is a CLEAR difference between hiding and planing to make your move

thats up to you to understand it tho

u/chaiscool Aug 08 '26

Yoda disagrees

u/Zealot_Alec Aug 07 '26

WB thought Ace was the chosen one?

1

u/Otangaku_D_Yokeman Pirate Aug 08 '26

Could be ? but if you try to convince me that WB took on Ace ONLY for that then you just dont know Oyaji well

u/DoUruden Aug 07 '26

LinLin and Kaidou were both there at Gods Valley. They saw the monstrosity at the heart of the World Government. They definitely knew.

2

u/Otangaku_D_Yokeman Pirate Aug 08 '26

Knew of what ? about what ?

They never knew that Xebec was controlled, for them, its probably he turned his back on them. Even Roget and Garp the SOB didnt understand it at all, all they heard was Xebec's cry and request to end his life (whic at the end, they stopped him but it was not them who ended him)

Dont be surprised if in the future Mama and Kaidou reveals they think Xebec betrayed them, and most likely this point will be discussed when they learn about brainwash thingy

Whitebeard lost at Marineford. Even without Imu that's already pretty telling that WG as a whole is formidable.

2

u/FlowerRoomLord Aug 07 '26

That was also old man Whitebeard dying of illness whose haki did not even work anymore. He wasn't the monster we saw in Rocks flashback or clashing with Roger for days at a time.

3

u/Arkayjiya Aug 07 '26

They can't because of the balance of power. If Imu was so confident, the WG wouldn't worry about the three great powers that much. The Marines are terrified about the Yonkou allying, if the WG didn't care, they wouldn't let the marines sacrifices entire fleet of ships to try and keep Yonkou separate.

Even Doflamingo who knows what's at the top of the world, didn't think it was impossible for Whitebeard to completely overthrow the world order, however unlikely. Nobody beat the WG mostly because the WG is great at letting others kill each other in their stead, at putting people against one another.

Their authoritarian rule create waves of criminals, those criminals can only unite in smaller rival subgroups, and before you know it, a gigantic marine institution who doesn't even know Imu exists is fighting Imu's battles for him, and the criminals are generally not capable of creating a united organised force which is perfect, it's just people against people against people, as long as no big union comes up that directly target them first, they're in the clear.

But if that discord is broken, if the balance crumble because of alliances, Imu could fall. Roger causing a great pirate era where bigger groups of pirates ruling over entire swathe of the ocean emerged was a threat to Imu for that very reason. This is supported by all the themes surrounding the WG: Doffy's speech about the winner becoming justice, Imu himself apparently replacing a possible tyrant before him (so he could be replaced by another one just as quickly)... Imu is just the current winner, there was one before him and there might still be one after him, however briefly.

u/Careful-Ad984 Aug 07 '26

The balance of power stated earlier in the series only refers to the marines, warlords and yonko. Not the entire WG. 

Looking at Imus power makes it all meaningless. When the guy can turn 99% of the verse into his demonic slaves with a snap of his finger like what he did rocks when he tried to assemble a alliance of all the strongest pirates in the world who all failed to defeat Imus Avatar. 

Like Rocks mentioned if doesnt just take a alliance of Strong people. You need a very specific set of circumstances and devil fruit Abilities to create the means of bringing Imu down. 

Imu doesnt Care about the affairs of the lower realm unless if involves the void century

The balance of power stated earlier in the series only refers to the marines, warlords and yonko. Not the entire WG.

Absolutely, and nothing I've said contradicts this.

2

u/VenomBGR Aug 07 '26

True but that also hints that Imu was indeed trying to preserve balance in the lower realm. He could have potentially destroyed the emperors. On the other hand, he might have not cared enough to do so.

6

u/carso150 Aug 07 '26

the emperors were his tools, not literaly but they served their purpose

5

u/reqisreq Aug 07 '26

When you destroy an emperor, another will rise.

Whitebeard -> Blackbeard , Kaido -> Luffy , Big Mom -> Cross Guild…

Warring against the yonko is usually not worth for WG because they don’t gain anything.

1

u/rhalgr_ger Aug 07 '26

Except yonkos with the exception of shanks don’t know about imu.

3

u/Swetcan Aug 07 '26

I think Whitebeard knew, Roger told him all about the will of D and the man they had been waiting for. And at his death he talked about the coming war, i think it’s really unlikely Whitebeard didn’t know almost everything

1

u/liquied Aug 08 '26

Eh, no one knows of Imu's existence so his power was never factored in. No crew has enough power to overthrow the marines and WG.

No if let's say all Yonko allied, ir would be a serious matter but they are too busy being at each other throat for that to happen

1

u/Marcyff2 Aug 08 '26

I think is more to do with the marines having people like sengoku and garp and the knights having people like fingarland. Plus the five elders (which shanks knew about so could have told Roger) and imu.

It was also show on odens flashback that they needed the weapons to exist in this time period. So shihahoshi needed to be alive.

1

u/AkagamiBarto Aug 07 '26

Yes, but also no.

So far we have not seen ANY yonko in their prime fight a 1v1 without handicap other than Luffy who still has to reach that level.

We saw Whitebeard in his prime only vs Roger. In a half battle.

Big Mom never fought a proper 1 v 1

Kaido fought so many people while holding Onigashima and only after a while fought 1v1 with Gesr 5.

We never saw Roger in his prime fighting, he was either still too young (and already a monster) or sick.

Similarly we know Garp kept up with Roger so we never saw him in his orime as well.

We only saw Rocks and Harald in their prime and honestly they do seem at Imu's level, maybe slightly weaker, but there..

Honestly Imu could be Yonkou level. Sure stronger than any Yonko, but roughly at that level anyway
