After watching episode 1120 and hearing IMU’s voice, I started to think deeply about his character. IMU sits at the top of the World Government, commanding the Elders like servants and showing a particular interest in girls resembling Lily. But what if IMU is actually a victim from 900 years ago?

What if IMU isn’t human or a Devil Fruit user? He could be a robot, similar to Emeth, or an existence like the Seraphim. The Ancient Kingdom was highly advanced, capable of creating powerful androids. It’s possible that IMU is just a Seraphim of someone, trapped in a role to rule by another’s command.

Perhaps it was Lily who placed him in this position, and that’s why he seeks Vivi—hoping to gain freedom by overriding Lily’s order. Lily’s character is complex, akin to Joyboy, and her motives are often contradictory. Even after the war, she chose to promote the D clan.

The world of One Piece is intricately planned, and every action from 900 years ago suggests that Joyboy and Lily knew how events would unfold in the present.

I’m not suggesting that IMU is good; in fact, he seems quite evil. However, his position on the throne restricts his movements, which is why he relies on the Elders to carry out his tasks. He also appeared frightened by Joyboy’s haki.

One possibility is that IMU feels betrayed by Lily, which could explain his imprisonment at the top for 900 years. It raises the idea that he might even be Uranus, yet unable to act because he can’t leave the throne.
