The 7 Gods Theory
The 7 Gods: The theory identifies seven specific deities: War (Nidhog), Death (Pluton), Sun (Nika), Rain (Zaza), Forest, Earth, and the Sea (Poseidon), represented by the 7 mementos in Imu's secret chamber.
In Ch 906, we are shown Imu walking into a hidden chamber with 7 slots each one is meant to represent the 7 primordial Gods that existed in the 1st and 2nd worlds. I believe that each slot contains a memento for each god that Imu once knew in the exact order they were introduced!!!

The 1st God introduced in Ch 119 was The War God, and in Elbaf, we finally got Loki confirmed to have eaten Nidhoggr's fruit in Ch 1175, which Imu even confirmed that they knew the previous Nidhoggr.

The 2nd God introduced in Ch 193 was The Death God (Pluton), which was confirmed later in Wano Ch 1050, and seemingly so far Momonosuke is the best bet to be the conduit that controls the weapon like Shirahoshi.

The 3rd God introduced in Ch 287 was The Sun God, and confirmed to be Luffy in Ch 1044, which matches the 3rd spot in Imu’s chamber. Each spot is a memento for that God because at one point, maybe they were all friends!!!!

Now, before I move on to the other gods, I need to bring up the 3 other ancient weapons because they are based on the big 3 from Greek/Roman mythology. I think the best bet for the conduit/controller of Uranus would be the Sun God its not only a weapon that utilizes the sun but Luffy parallels the sky god Zeus/Uranus.

In Ch 908, we also see Imu angrily slash at some bounties, and the reason is that they finally realized who some of these primordial gods have returned!!!!!

The 4th God introduced in Ch 287 alongside the 4 Gods was The Rain God, and confirmed in Ch 1182. The best bet for it is Vivi When Shirahoshi awakened then called the sea kings the same way Vivi was drawn when she awakened and called the Rain.


The 5th God introduced in Ch 287 was The Forest God and later confirmed in Ch 1138 with the Harley Text. Now we don't have the full identity as to who that God is, but the most likely answer is Chopper seen taming a literal demon.

The 6th God introduced in Ch 287 was The Earth God later confirmed in Ch 1138 with the Harley Text. We still don't know who it is, but the best candidate so far is Blackbeard, Earth-shattering fruit that can destroy the world.

The 7th God introduced in ch 301 as Poseidon and later in ch 442 we are told the existence of a Sea God, but not until Ch 649 was Shirahoshi Poseidon confirmed to be the Sea God.

Imu is The Sea Devil or Demon King that was introduced in Ch 19 and finally confirmed in Ch 1180!! However it seems most of the Gods so far have spawned in the form of fruits, but they are not mutually exclusive. There seem to be a lot of deities in One Piece nearly anything can be deified its why the distincition between Devil and God is blurred. It’s just those 7 deities or gods that I mentioned above are the ones that matter and the ones people fear or believe in the most.


Now those, 7 gods were listed pre-timeskip, and these were some of the extra gods or deities that I didn’t include, which I think you can see they are sort of false gods or lesser deities, which:
