One piece1084 dropped a while ago and, as always, Oda managed to gain the attention of the fans with some jaw-dropping revelations being made about the Nefertari Family in the chapter. The vast majority of the chapter was filled with a conversation exchange between the Five Elders andCobra of Arabasta.However, the other parts of the chapter proved to be equally as interesting, where the Revolutionary Army members as well as the Straw Hat Grand Fleet Commanders took the spotlight.

One of the most interesting details in this chapter ofOne Piececame when Bonney and Sabo teamed up in order to get the keys tothe collar of Bartholomew Kuma.While not many fans will have noticed it,One Piece1084 brought attention to the Phantom Room, which is a mysterious place within the Pangea Castle of Marijoa.
What Is The Phantom Room?
The Phantom Room is a big mystery inOne Pieceand was first mentioned in chapter 1084 of the manga. Fans saw Sabo leave on the quest to find the keys to the slave collars and, on the way, he was met with the company ofa surprising ally, Jewelry Bonney.Without wasting too much time, the two immediately started working together and took a liking to each other. Together, they discussed Bartholomew Kuma, among other things. While the two were conversing, the guards almost spotted them and it was Sabo who noticed their presence and quickly hid Bonney along with himself.
The guards, confused by this, started blaming the fact that they don’t have enough men to cover theentirety of the Pangea Castle by themselves.One guard, in particular, said that they need more help, however, the other one responded by saying that he knows why there is a lack of guards. According to him, the disappearance of the guards can be blamed for this unique situation. He then went on to mention the Phantom Room and, according to him, the guards who vanished saw the Phantom Room and were, thus, erased somehow.
Parallels To Impel Down
Eagle-eyed fans will know that this draws parallels to Impel Down, which was one of the major segments of the Paramount War Saga. Luffy broke into Impel Down to rescue his brother, Ace, however, along the way, he faced several complications. One such complication was Magellan, the head Warden of Impel Down. Magellan defeated Luffy rather easily and he was thereafter locked in Level Five of the prison. His friend, Bon Clay, came to his rescue, however, when he transformed into Hannyabal, he heard a rumor about there being disappearances from within the prison cells. These disappearances were later revealed to be the work of Ivankov,a member of the Revolutionary Army.Ivankov established Level 5.5 within Impel Down, which he called Newkama Land.
What fans are seeing within Pangea Castle is a parallel to that, however, it is different as these disappearances are not from the freedom fighters who want to absolve the world of the tyranny of the Celestial Dragons, but instead are being made by the Celestial Dragons themselves. In particular, it is believed that whoever manages to see the legendary Phantom Room disappears. This means that Imu or anyone else with high power within Marijoa, such as the Five Elders, are the ones responsible for making these disappearances.
While the Phantom Room was laughed off by the other guard, fans know that it really does exist, as they are well familiar with the writing style of Eiichiro Oda. The question is, have the fans already seen this room, or is it something new entirely? Interestingly, there are a few places that could qualify as the Phantom Room within Pangea Castle.
Room Of Flowers
The very first room that comes to mind when one thinks of a mysterious room that nobody knows of within the Pangea Castle is the Room of Flowers. This room lies deep within the Pangea Castle and its existence is likely not revealed to anyone, other than the Five Elders. This is the room where Imu, the sovereign of the world, is often seen residing. The room is filled with greenery and has all types of flowers, especially lilies, within it. There are also other wild flowers and ivy that cover the wall. The room also has a source of sunlight within it, which is rather interesting. Insects, such as butterflies, are also seen within the Room of Flowers, and it is here that Imu spends most of their time. It was this room where they cut up the posters of Blackbeard, Luffy, and Shirahoshi, taking only the poster of Vivi with them.

The Room of Flowers can very well qualify for the Phantom Room as, if anyone were to see this place, they would immediately be erased from existence. This is simply down to the fact that nobody can know about the existence of Imu. In fact, later on, inOne Piece1084, the Five Elders further lay emphasis on the fact that Imu should not be appearing before Cobra as their existence must be kept a secret since they are the true sovereign of the entire world. If the guards were to, by some means, get a glimpse of the Room of Flowers and Imu inside, they would surely have been erased from existence. Rumors would spread and that is how the Room of Flowers could come to be known as the Phantom Room.
Underground Chamber
While the Room of Flowers is the strongest guess one could have as to which room could qualify as the Phantom Room, there are other places within Pangea Castle that raise an eyebrow. Specifically, the Underground Chamber is a place where fans know the deepest secrets of the world ofOne Pieceare hidden away. Fans have already seen the underground chamber once, during the Reverie arc, thanks to Imu. After they cut up the posters of Shirahoshi, Imu was seen with a bunch of posters in their hand and they headed towards a mysterious place under Pangea Castle. This place was later revealed to be the Underground Chamber.
It is a chamber that is freezing cold and inside it, there are likely secrets from the Void Century. This was hinted at when Imu saw a giant Straw Hat inside the Underground Chamber and this Straw Hat likely belonged to someone from the Void Century. This hat is likely not the only thing within the Underground Chamber and it is entirely possible that it houses several other such secrets as well.
Given that this chamber is frozen entirely, the things stored there would also not degrade or, at the very least, do so very slowly. If any guard were to catch a glimpse of the Underground Chamber, they would easily be erased at sight. As such, the Underground Chamber is also a room that could qualify as the Phantom Room. That said, only Oda knows the answer to this mystery. All that fans can do is speculate and hope that Oda reveals the answer to this mystery sooner rather than later. Given thatOne Pieceis in the final saga, that may be exactly how things turn out.
