The world of One Piece began with the simple journey of a pirate from the East Blue, and the existence of Gods in the early parts was unheard of. That changed with the Skypiea arc, which introduced the fans to God Enel, who truly believed himself to be above the mortals. As One Piece expanded its lore, the existence of the true Gods of the world, called the Celestial Dragons was revealed. Their King, Nerona Imu, rules over the entire world, and now, these Gods hold a unique significance in the story of One Piece. 24 years after Enel’s arrival as the first God, Oda unleashes the ultimate being, Nerona Imu, who created the World Government 800 years ago after he triumphed over Joy Boy and the Ancient Kingdom.
