"Lord Im, Gunko do you still need to go to Sky Island?"
Gunko, who was standing aside, looked at Akira and then at Imu. Although she did not catch the change in Imu's expression under the mask, she still felt Imu's "anger" suddenly disappear.
Under such circumstances, she felt that she still needed to ask.
"No need," Imu waved his hand and said, "For matters other than Holy Land, just follow Akira Marshal's arrangements."
After a slight pause, Imu then said, "Please step aside first. I have something that I need to talk to Akira Marshal alone."
Before Gunko could react, Akira immediately raised his eyes and looked at Imu, "There shouldn't be many things that we need to talk about alone! Isn't it just Reverie's trivial matter? Is it necessary to ask Gunko to leave? Don't make trouble!"
Imu met Akira's gaze and said in a calm tone, "You said you have the final say on matters outside Holy Land, and I have the final say on matters within Holy Land. If Reverie is held at Holy Land, it is considered to be a matter within Holy Land!"
"So, you have to listen to Mu's arrangements in this matter."
Unexpectedly, Imu would bring up this agreement at this time. Akira blinked in surprise, then shook his head and said with a smile, "Tell me, how do you want to arrange it!"
Imu did not answer immediately.
Seeing this, Gunko quickly bowed and said, "Lord Im, Gunko go and prepare some food and wine for Master Akira."
After saying that, Gunko turned around and ran out quickly.
It wasn't until Gunko disappeared in the garden that Imu said calmly, "Actually, it's nothing important. It's just that I don't want you to take advantage of this Reverie to attack Affiliated Nation. If you kill all Affiliated Nation's royal family and nobles, the world will definitely be in chaos."
"There's something wrong with you, Imu." Akira raised his eyes to look at Imu again, and said with a serious expression, "It's okay to let Gunko hear this. Tell me, what other important things do you have?"
"No!" Imu shook his head, "It's not that it's important for Gunko to leave. It's just that I don't like people standing next to me, especially when talking to you."
After a slight pause, Imu changed the subject and continued, "I know you want the world to be liberated. If you don't do it, someone will do it, such as Revolutionary Army! Since it can't be reversed, it's better to support you in doing this. After all, everything you have done so far seems to be dragging World Government into the abyss, but in fact it is just a self-reform to adapt to the times!"
"World Government back then was not called World Government, but an alliance formed by twenty countries. Later, due to the tide of the times, World Government became its final form!"
"Since the twenty countries were able to form World Government, why can't World Government be reorganized eight hundred years later?"
"However, no matter what you do, you must have rules! This is the experience Mu has gained from ruling this world for hundreds of years. You may come from eight hundred years ago, or even further in the past, but you have not stayed in every era. To put it simply, no matter what time point you come from, you are still young and full of energy, and you have lofty ambitions and dreams."
"Because you have not experienced the baptism of time."
"To be honest, from the moment you launched the mutiny, Mu developed a strong interest in you. This interest gradually turned into a preference as he got to know you better!"
"Yes, it's just a preference, not that you have a powerful power that Mudu has been unable to figure out so far and wants to win over or even control you."
"Because seeing you now reminds me of myself inadvertently. At that time, I was just like you, young, high-spirited and aloof. Being aloof is not something I can control, but is determined by my bloodline and life experience!"
Having said this, Imu took out the thick book from his arms, and there was a subtle emotion in his eyes, "But, since gaining Black Turn Domination's ability, everything has gradually changed. There are some things that I believe even if I don't use them, Mu said it himself, you already know it! For example, the huge Straw Hat in Flower Chamber's basement, and who the owner of that huge Straw Hat is, and what grudges and fateful entanglements exist between Mu and them."
"Of course none of this matters!"
"The important thing is, whether you are a time traveler from ancient times or from the future, you have not appeared in this fateful entanglement. You are a huge variable between Heng Yumu and Joy Boy and D Clan."
"So Mu wants to see what kind of changes your presence will bring to this world when the entanglement of fate sweeps across again!"
After saying so much in one breath, Imu suddenly fell silent. After a short two seconds, he raised his eyes to look at Akira and said softly, "Akira, can you understand what Mu is saying?"
"Yes."
Akira nodded, "Although the amount of information is huge, as you said, these are not the point. The point is that you want to talk to me alone. However, you suddenly come to such a place, which makes it difficult for me to adapt! The most important thing is, if you are an old man who has lived for eight or nine hundred years..."
Before Akira could finish speaking, Imu suddenly said, "No, no."
"Huh?"
Akira's eyes flashed with surprise, "Your voice."
"This is Mu's real voice!"
Imu explained, "In the past, Mu deliberately suppressed his voice in order to prevent others from knowing his true identity."
Hearing Imu's voice that suddenly returned to normal and sounded a bit like a royal sister, Akira suddenly opened his eyes wide and said after realizing, "So, your gender is female?"
Imu nodded and explained, "But don't misunderstand that Mu just said that his preference for you is the kind of love between a man and a woman. To be precise, Mu... basically won't show any emotions now, because of Mu's ability!"
Eh?
What plot direction is this?
Hearing Imu's voice suddenly return to normal, and taking the initiative to confess to him that she was a woman, Akira blinked in surprise.
Imu is a girl?
Imu's son is actually a girl!
She is still an old witch who has lived for eight or nine hundred years!
"Akira?"
Seeing that Akira suddenly became quiet, Imu frowned slightly, with a hint of teasing in his voice. "What are you thinking? Could it be that the fact that I am a woman has frightened our iron-blooded Navy Marshal?"
"Ahem, there is indeed something unexpected!"
Akira waved his hand, "But it's no use just talking, take off the face towel and let me see it!"
Surprisingly, Imu didn't hesitate at all. Facing Akira, he simply raised his hand and took off the face towel.

Ahem, no matter how the original book is set, the setting of our book Imu is female from the beginning.
Even if Oda portrays Imu as a man in the later period, he must be a woman in our book, hahahahahahaha~
