· In One Piece episode 1189, Luffy faces a situation close to death for the first time.
· Luffy is almost completely overwhelmed by Im's attack, but his recovery ability is still astonishing.
· However, Luffy has not yet fully awakened his Gear 5 power.
· Loki is also in mortal danger from Im's attack and realizes Im has the ability to absorb the life force of others.

· Im looks down coldly at Luffy, acknowledging his potential.
· Im draws a new weapon from the darkness, the demonic sword Flagarach.
· Flagarach is a sword that emits a pressure on a completely different level than previous weapons.
· Im pierces Luffy once again with Flagarach, remarking on Luffy's great vitality despite not having fully awakened his power.

· Im lifts Luffy like a toy and throws him towards a giant tree in Elbaf.
· Luffy crashes into the tree and gets stuck, with two swords deeply embedded on either side of him.
· Luffy hangs there, as if crucified, unresponsive.

· In another part of Elbaf, Usopp senses an anomaly, feeling it as a comrade even without directly seeing Luffy's situation.
· Usopp warns his crewmates, sensing that Luffy's life is hanging by a thread.
· The crew believed Luffy would bounce back from any attack, but this feeling is entirely different.

· The ice encasing Orochi begins to melt, but she remains unconscious.
· Chopper determines Orochi's condition is extremely critical.
· Brook hears Ragnar's words to stop freeing Orochi completely, but he doesn't move, unwilling to abandon her again.

· Witnessing Im's overwhelming power, Loki recalls the day King Harold died.
· Shanks tells Loki it's not time to start the war yet, and that the world will need his strength someday.
· Shanks warns that the World Government is preparing for a war that could destroy the world.
· Seeing Im appear in Elbaf, Loki realizes that Im is the 'King of the World' that Shanks warned about.

· Im intends to eliminate not only Luffy but also anyone who could pose a threat to him, one by one.
· Im gives the 'Sword of Earth' to Somerz, who is fighting Zoro.
· After obtaining the sword, Somerz becomes even more powerful and pressures Zoro.
· Im gives Kingram the 'Spear of True Name' to attack Sanji.
· Sanji is shocked by the spear's immense power, to the point where his legs are paralyzed.

· Im considers the fights with Zoro and Sanji unimportant and aims to completely annihilate Luffy before he can awaken his power.
· Im believes Luffy has the potential to rise again as long as he is alive.
