Nerona Imu is the final villain One Piece who stands as one of the first 20 kings and the current king of the whole world, as well as the creator of the world government. In the Elbaph arc, Oda finally released the true power of Saint Nerona Imu, and it is clear to see that he possesses powers far beyond the level of the strongest characters in the world. While Imu has yet to show the true terror of their powers, he has not been sitting idle. Over the years, pulling strings from the shadows, Imu has already killed quite a few individuals already, and in the great war fought during the Void Century, he was the one who came out on top, eliminating all competition in the process.
One Piece: Every Character Who's Been Domi Reversi'd
Imus Domi Reversi is arguably the most broken ability in One Piece. Here's a look at everyone who has fallen victim to it so far.
Joy Boy
Perhaps the greatest enemy that Imu has ever faced is the first pirate that ever existed, Joy Boy. Joy Boy came from the Ancient Kingdom, which was a rich kingdom that existed long ago in the One Piece world. At some point, 20 nations joined together to compete with Joy Boy and his force of allies, and this included Imu as well. Considering Imu and Joy Boy have a rivalry, it goes without saying that they continued to fight during the Void Century. At the end of it all, Joy Boy is confirmed to have died, about 800 years ago, and with his death the Void Century also ended.
Imu ended up on the winning side and established the World Government, standing at the top as the true ruler of the entire world. Clearly, Joy Boy is one of the most significant people that Imu has defeated in his entire life.
Davy Jones
Davy Jones was first introduced in One Piece during the Long Ring Long Island arc, but his true significance was only revealed in the Elbaph arc, where Oda name-dropped him during the God Valley Incident. Davy Jones was a pirate who existed in the Void Century alongside Joy Boy. It is said that he was the true ruler of the world before even Imu Nerona, and as is the case with Joy Boy, the current sovereign truly feared him.
Davy Jones was probably on the same level as Joy Boy and Imu. But he also ended up losing. That said, his will still lives on, which is why his bloodline continues to haunt Imu to this day. Davy D. Jones continues to have a huge influence on history.
Saint Saturn
Saint Saturn was one of the five elders and truly an incredibly powerful individual who served right under Imu until recently. In the Egghead arc, Saturn served as one of the main antagonists standing in the way of Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates. Due to his failure to stop the sun god Nika, Saturn was severely punished by Imu.
As already established in the series, Saturn shares an Abyssal alliance with Imu. This power gives him a Yokai ability, as well as giving him access to infinite regeneration and immortality. But it also makes him a vessel for Imu to control whenever he wants. Meanwhile, Imu can remove this power from Saturn at any time, and that's exactly what happened at the end of the Egghead Arc. Enraged at Saturn, Imu decided to rip all his powers from him, leaving behind nothing but skull and bones, killing him in the process.
Nefertari cobra
Nefertari cobra came face to face with Saint Imu Nerona during the last Reverie and asked questions about the Poneglyphs, among many other things, such as Lily's whereabouts. The moment he raised these questions, of course, he sealed his own fate. The fact that he saw the face of the ruler of the world, Saint Imu Nerona, meant that he would never leave life alive.
Although Cobra tried his best to escape the throne room, and despite Sabo coming in to help him, he ended up dying. In the end, Cobra sacrificed his life so that Sabo could escape and deliver a message to Luffy and Vivi. Cobra may not be the strongest killed by Imu, but he is certainly among the most significant, especially in the grand perspective of the Final Saga.
One Piece: 6 Devil Fruit Users From The Void Century
The Void Century was a mysterious time period, with some of the most powerful Devil Fruits ever.
Nefertari Lily
Nefertari Lily was once the queen of the Arabasta kingdom and stood tall as its ruler. She was also one of the first 20 monarchs to create the World Government. But she had a rather complicated relationship with the likes of the Ancient Kingdom as well.
It is Lily who ended up spreading the Poneglyphs across the world, and her last message to Arabasta asked them to raise the flag of the dawn against a sinking world, clearly implying that she was actually against Imu and the other kings who had banded together to fight the Ancient Kingdom. When the Founding 20 swore a vow of equality in front of the empty throne, Lily was likely present as well, but she never returned to Arabasta for mysterious reasons. Apparently Imu was responsible for her death. Immediately after, her brother assumed the role of ruler of the kingdom of Arabasta. It is her brother that Vivi is descended from.
One Piece: Every Yonko's Strongest Attack, Ranked
Yonko are the strongest pirates in the One Piece world, and here are their most powerful attacks.
Rocks D. Xebec
Rocks D. Xebec was a very prominent pirate in the world of One Piece 56 years ago, and he established his own era with the goal of becoming the king of the world. He created a very powerful crew, called the Rocks Pirates, and even challenged Imu to a point, showing him the immense power he possessed. But at the end of the day, he fell to Imu in battle because he wasn't quite ready to take him down.
Due to the God Valley, his hometown, coming under direct fire from Saint Imu Nerona, Rocks had to rush to save his family and face the King of the World prematurely. He was not ready, and as such faced a crushing defeat and was Domi Reversi'd. Eventually, Roger and Garp combined their power to face him in battle and ended up completely crushing him. The final battle against the Rocks gave Garling Figarland, but it was Imu who really killed him.

Shuri's father
Over fifty years ago in the world of One Piece, Imu and the Holy Knights attacked a place in South Blue where Princess Shuri is from. This kingdom was once prosperous and ruled by a certain king who was deeply loved by Brook, the musician of the Straw Hat Pirates. Brook served as the leader of the battle convoy in this kingdom, and he raised Princess Shuri himself. However, it has been clearly stated in the story that it was Shuri who ended up killing the king.
Shuri was under the control of Imu Nerona, meaning that Imu was the one who orchestrated the destruction of this kingdom and the kidnapping of the princess herself.
Seki
Seki is the former king of the Lulusia kingdom, who was deposed by his own people and imprisoned. While locked away, Imu decided to wipe the country out of existence and struck it with the ancient weapon Uranus.
Immediately after, the entire kingdom was destroyed and Seki died in the process. While he was a powerful king at one point, he was reduced to dust and completely erased from history, all thanks to Imu.
Princess Komane
Seki's daughter, Princess Komane, was also deposed by the people of Lulusia in a massive uprising. Like her father, she was imprisoned in the land when Saint Imu Nerona unleashed the power of the ancient weapon Uranus and reduced the land to pieces.
Like the vast majority of the citizens of Lulusia Kingdom, Komane also ended up dead despite being a royal ally of the World Government.
