2. 🤔 Imu's Past: Relationship with Joy Boy, Lily, and the Ideology of Rule
· Imu recalls Joy Boy, saying, 'The world's true happiness is only possible under rule.' This line and the flashback suggest that Imu fought alongside Joy Boy against a common enemy in the past, but after achieving peace, he witnessed the recurring desires of humanity and concluded that freedom alone could not protect the world, thus choosing rule.
· Notably, the person smiling with Joy Boy in Imu's flashback is suggested to be Lily. Based on Imu's past obsession with Lily and his interest in Vivi, Lily's descendant, speculation arises that Imu's anger and ideology of rule may stem from experiences related to Lily.
· It's possible that Imu, swayed by the desire to possess Lily, gained power through corruption and contracts (Devil Fruits). After defeating Joy Boy, he intended to erase Lily's memory and keep her by his side, but his frustration over Lily's suicide may have led to his current state.

3. 🧐 Imu's Final Words: Return of Rocks or Teach?
· Imu's statement after the battle with Loki, 'Did you truly return?', could be interpreted as Luffy's return. However, considering Rocks' past remarks and Teach's invasion of Mary Geoise, it's more likely to signify the return of Rocks or Teach.
· Based on Rocks' past statement upon entering Mary Geoise, 'I will definitely return,' Imu might have thought that Teach's invasion signified the continuation of Rocks' will.
· With the Blackbeard Pirates currently attacking Mary Geoise and Teach having entered the location, Imu is expected to quickly deal with Loki and Luffy before returning to Mary Geoise to confront Teach.

4. 🗡️ Nero vs. Mihawk?: Imu's Sword and Lineage Speculation
· The sword 'Nemesis' used by Imu and his sword slashes reminiscent of Juracule Mihawk have led readers to speculate about Mihawk's lineage being related to Imu.
· In the past, there was a lineage theory due to the similar eye shapes of Imu and Mihawk, but it lacked evidence. However, this chapter strengthens the lineage theory with the similarity between Imu's black blade Nemesis and Mihawk's black blade Yoru, and the meaning of Nemesis as 'daughter of the night.'
· Oda's direction likely serves as a hint that Mihawk might be of Imu's lineage.
