Background / History
Lily was one of the original Twenty Kings and the only member of the Clan of D among the eighteen Moon people who later became tied to the Void Throne. She opposed Joy Boy’s vision of unrestricted freedom, arguing that lasting freedom required order. When Joy Boy rejected her proposal for a unified kingdom, she allied with Saint Cassius against him. 538 542 563
Following the ancient conflict, eighteen moderate Moon people merged their souls into the Void Throne. Their remaining obsession confined Lily to the Flower Chamber, fearing that a future ruler from the Clan of D could become an unchecked dictator. They did not know that her fully developed Devil Fruit had granted her eternal life, leaving her imprisoned for more than eight hundred years. 563 621
During her reign, Lily established or directed major world institutions, including the Divine Knights and Marines. She later admitted that she gradually stopped overseeing the excesses of the Celestial Dragons, allowing their descendants to become a scourge on the world. 564
Lily observed Gigue’s survival and rise from God Valley onward, having subordinates report on his progress from the Sorbet Kingdom to the Marines. When Joy Boy returned, she fought beside Gigue and helped seal him away. 538 539 564
After Joy Boy’s defeat, Lily willingly allowed Gigue to take the Void Throne’s power. The transfer freed her from the Flower Chamber but revealed that the throne had never truly been hers alone; the eighteen souls had manipulated its curse to keep her contained. 547 562 563
Overwhelmed by the revelation, Lily massacred many Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise with sabers forged by the original Twenty, sparing Saint Saturn’s family and the Figarland Family. She considered removing the “D.” from her name, but Gigue declared that it would henceforth mean “Dark.” 567
Appearance
Lily is portrayed as a strikingly beautiful and noble woman whose former authority as Imu remains apparent even after relinquishing the Void Throne. Her usual appearance contrasts sharply with her demonic transformation. 546 576
- Long, wavy sea-blue hair. 616
- Golden eyes marked by black patterns while wielding her earlier powers. 546
- Often wears an elegant black dress, which she can repair or reshape with her ability. 539 576
- In Source Demon Form, gains six black wings, black lips and eyeshadow, devil patterns, and black flame clouds. 539
- After consuming the Chakra Fruit, manifests sky-blue eyes, a horn, a white robe, twelve Truth-Seeking Orbs, and a black staff. 678
Personality
Lily is composed, proud, and fiercely attached to the idea of order. Her opposition to Joy Boy stems from her belief that unchecked freedom produces chaos, while human desire inevitably creates conflict and hierarchy. 538 542 563
Eight centuries of confinement left her exhausted, resentful, and deeply protective of her dignity. Although she originally regarded the Flower Chamber’s flowers as solace, she eventually came to see them as reminders of her imprisonment. 556 617
After gaining freedom, Lily becomes more expressive: stubborn, competitive, and quick to show jealousy when she feels displaced in Gigue’s attention. Despite this, she repeatedly demonstrates concern for his safety, including choosing to remain with him during the teleportation device’s collapse and later sacrificing herself to propel him away from danger. 583 623 624 659
