#ONEPIECE1181 - FULL ENGLISH TRANSLATION - PART 2
Imu: Humans... are creatures that desire strength...
[TL NOTE: Imu says "人" = "Hito" = Humans, People, Mankind, Person]
Imu: However, the “power” one longs for can be obtained all too easily… through “DEPRAVITY” (CORRUPTION)!!
Submission born from mutual interests — a “CONTRACT” (COVENANT)!!
And the envious “DEMONIC AURA”* needed to make it happen!!!
[TL NOTE: written in Kanji as "魔気" (MAKI = DEMONIC AURA). Written in hiragana as "ちから" (chikara) = "Power"]
Imu: When these three become one…
It's called "DOMINATION"!!! (支配 = shihai)
Imu: Shall I grant it to you... the "Power of God"? Take one step beyond humanity......!!
Loki: *COUGH*... DON'T NEED IT!!!
*Loki swings Ragnir towards Imu but Imu flies out of the way.*
*RUMBLE* *RUMBLE*
Loki: Huff... Huff... Wheeze... Wheeze... So your ability is... the “Dominion of God”...?! Huff... Huff... More like “Contract with the Devil,” right?... Wheeze... Wheeze...
Imu: God and Devil... what is the difference?

In one chapter Imu dismembered two people, one shot the two strongest crewmates of a Yonko, saved all his allies and buffed them, nuked 3 people, and flew across the island to Loki
He wasn’t kidding about that time limit 😭
My man said something to me that really stuck.
He told me, “I’m not here to control you. I’m not your dad, I’m your partner. You’re free to make your own choices. Just understand that every choice has consequences. If you choose something that damages what we’ve built, that’s on you.”
He said, “I’ll always tell you when something hurts me or crosses a boundary, because that’s what healthy communication looks like. But if you keep stepping over the line after I’ve shown you where it is, then you were never really protecting us to begin with.”
And honestly, that’s what accountability in a relationship sounds like.
And you can notice from the Saiyan Saga onwards, Goku’s position in the narrative shifts,
Still the main character of course, but he becomes more of a figure to reach,
As in, he’s much less literally present during but he’s the center of Gohan and Vegeta’s goals,
To Both Gohan and Vegeta, Goku represented a goal they wished to reach
With Gohan naturally looking up to his father and how he hoped to and feared being able to live up to him
With Vegeta, his inability to truly surpass Goku for long fueled his anger and a desire to beat him
maturing is realizing none of us are easy to be with. It's about who's willing to stay committed to understanding you and actually wants to grow with you.
