The Egghead Arc will show the mystery behind Nefertari Cobra’s death. He wanted to see the Five Elders. He said he belonged to the D Clan during the meeting with the Five Elders. His ancestor, Nefertari D. Lili, was the ruler of Alabasta during the void century and one of the 20 monarchs to build the World Government. But later, she mysteriously vanished, and her brother succeeded her. Then Im Sama appeared.

Cobra was shocked to see him sit on the World Throne since no one was allowed to sit there. Moreover, the monarchs who formed the World Government laid down their swords except for Lili. But instead of 19, there were 20 swords. Cobra then vaguely remembers that the void century did have a monarch named Im. After this, he was killed by the Five Elders. Sabo was hiding and heard everything and then escaped with his dead body.
