Raw scans for One Piece Chapter 1179 are out, and it seems like Eiichiro Oda has pulled all stops with this latest installment. This particular chapter is about to create history because the creator has finally given a full reveal of one of the most mysterious characters of this series. The title of this week's chapter is The Incarnation of Nerona Imu, and as the name suggests, Chapter 1179 not only pushes the story forward but also successfully manages to redefine the stakes of the Final Saga.
It is recommended to take this article as a reference point because some of the translations we get from raw scans might not be accurate. That is why when the One Piece Chapter 1179 is released on April 5, 2026, fans should read the official on Shueisha Manga Plus and Viz Media. The raw scans show us that from the very first page itself, the chapter establishes that the tone of the story is going to change from now on.
Disclaimer: This article has major spoilers from One Piece Chapter 1179. Reader's discretion is advised.
The Five Elders vs Imu: A rare power dynamic
One Piece Chapter 1179 started off in the Holy Land as the Five Elders are trying their best to stop Imu from making a rash decision to leave Mary Geoise. While their concern is evident, they even suggest that sending an admiral might be a better idea, but Imu is not ready to hear anything.
This is an important moment because it shows that Imu stands above everyone and for good reasons. At times when the Gorosei might hesitate, he would start acting. In One Piece Chapter 1179, this decision alone sets the stage for what follows, a direct intervention in Elbaph that no one truly expected.
Chaos in Elbaph: Zoro’s plan interrupted
Soon, the scene shifts back to Elbaph, where the Straw Hats and their allies are taking care of the events that follow after their battles. Gerd actually finds Sommers' heart, while Zoro actually has an idea to be able to destroy it completely
However, before anything could happen, the atmosphere on the island changed instantly as there was a massive surge of Conqueror’s Haki floods the battlefield. This is the moment when Imu makes his arrival known to everyone.
The reveal: Nerona Imu’s true form
The biggest highlight of One Piece Chapter 1179 raw scans is Imu’s full reveal. For the first time, Oda gives us a detailed look at the mysterious ruler of the world:
- A male figure with a strikingly beautiful face
- Long white hair and tanned skin
- Massive horns, wings, and a devil-like tail
- Surrounded by black clouds filled with eyes
- Covered in tattoos, including a mysterious eye symbol
This design has caused fans to instantly compare Imu's design with the Lunarians, demons, and even mythical beings. However, what makes Imu's vibe unsettling is not just his appearance but also his overall presence.
A power unlike anything we have seen
As soon as Imu appears on the top of the Aurust Castle, he is incredibly powerful. It is depicted in a way where we see that his power affects the environment itself. His ability feels similar to Big Mom's homies, but this time it is more sinister and on a larger scale.
The One Piece Chapter 1179 raw scans also confirm that Imu does have a Devil Fruit power. Although we don't know the exact nature of this power, it has an interesting name: Akuma no mi.
This was expected because Oda usually likes to keep an element of surprise. Adding to the mystery are the black Hagoromo clouds, typically associated with awakened Zoan users. However, Imu’s clouds are different; they contain eyes, resembling biblical or mythological imagery.

Final thoughts on One Piece Chapter 1179
In the end, One Piece Chapter 1179 raw scans prove that the story is undergoing a major turning point. As Imu is no longer this mysterious shadow figure, now we have a face readers can associate with his character. One thing this chapter has established is that the Final Saga has started, and the latest instalment is also an indication that Oda is done holding back.
