The existence of the Nerona clan is no secret to those who live in the One Piece world. The family name of Nerona was first mentioned by Emporio Ivankov after Sabo unmasked Imu's identity to him and Dragon. According to Ivankov, the Nerona clan was once one of the Founding 20 that created the World Government and swore an oath of equality in front of the Empty Throne. However, no more details about those of the Nerona have been provided since. It can be assumed that to this day the Nerona family runs deep within the ranks of the Celestial Dragons.In One Piece chapter 1179, Eiichiro Oda unveiled the very first member of the Nerona family, that being Saint Nerona Imu, who serves as the King of the World and is also the main villain of the entire story. Up until now, the Nerona Clan was only briefly mentioned in the story, but now, Oda has finally unveiled the first member of the clan, adding to the incredible lore of the Void Century and building up to the dramatic battle between Joy Boy and him that will be explored later down the line.
