Mother Flame

The Mother Flame, an extraordinary substance conceived by the genius Vegapunk, finds application in the hands of Imu and the venerable Five Elders. This remarkable element is manufactured within a formidable power plant situated on Egghead. Remarkably, the Mother Flame possesses the capacity to be harnessed as a weapon, capable of unleashing instantaneous devastation upon entire islands by projecting a relentless barrage of lasers upon its target. In the aftermath of this annihilation, no vestiges of the target endure, demonstrating the unparalleled destructive potential it wields. This cataclysmic power stands as one of the most formidable forces ever witnessed in the world, ranking alongside the Goro Goro no Mi as one of the only two known abilities with the capability to obliterate entire islands. Such is its prodigious might that Emporio Ivankov speculated whether it could be classified as one of the elusive Ancient Weapons, a possibility that gains credence if Imu indeed belongs to the enigmatic First Twenty, as some have theorized.

The production of the Mother Flame is confined to a fusion reactor, exclusively known to Vegapunk, and is situated on Egghead. This secrecy means that only Vegapunk holds the knowledge to create it, rendering both the Five Elders and Imu dependent on York for a continued supply, unable to wield it freely at their discretion. Scientist Vegapunk pioneered the development of the Mother Flame, a groundbreaking achievement. In a covert operation, a sample of this remarkable substance was dispatched to the Five Elders by York. Subsequent to the Levely event, Imu issued a directive to the Five Elders, instructing them to assess the Mother Flame's potency by employing it on the island housing the Lulusia Kingdom. The Five Elders concurred with this plan, and Topman Warcury noted that the results could significantly influence their approach to the ongoing issues involving Vegapunk and Egghead.

The Mother Flame was subsequently dispatched to the Lulusia Kingdom and, in a matter of seconds, wrought utter annihilation upon it, erasing all traces of the island's existence from the world's records. With the triumphant outcome of the Mother Flame's test, at Imu's behest, the Five Elders entered into an arrangement with York to further replicate this technology, unaware that she had already fallen into the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates, who clandestinely eavesdropped on their conversation.

Trivia

The concluding two katakana characters in the Japanese name of the Mother Flame match those spelling out "Imu."

As per Lilith's account, the island of Egghead harnesses fire as its primary energy source, and the Vegapunks harbor aspirations of crafting an "everlasting flame" that could serve as their very own sun. Whether the Mother Flame bears any connection to this research remains an enigma yet to be unraveled.
