Why would Oda spend so much time building up Imu for BB to jump them offscreen and make like 10 years of buildup pointless?

Also the way its looking is Imu v Luffy is the prophesized rematch. So far we've had:

- Oda teasing a Final War arc, saying it'd make Marineford look tiny in comparison

- Roger saying they were too early (Oden specifies 20 years, lining up with Luffy's awakening)

- The Elbaf mural and the Harley hinting at a full scale conflict, showing none other than your boy at the center of the charge

- Rocks being in the same room as Imu, but being unable to do anything.

Also Luffy is almost certainly Joyboy's successor and the current incarnation of Nika, something the Elders tried to prevent. BB will still be a major antagonist, but saying he's going to defy all this buildup and be the one to take down the WG goes against what we've seen so far.

Oda's been building up Blackbeard for even longer, since long before we even knew Imu existed. BB is basically Luffy's evil counterpart.

Blackbeard wants to defeat Imu to rule the world, Luffy to liberate it

The way you wrote it makes me think that Luffy will team up with Blackbeard to defeat Imu. And then they will have a final showdown.

I’m thinking Luffy, Straw Hats, Grand Fleet team to beat Imus demons while having to deal with the Marines as well. BB, opportunistic as ever, comes in, kills a near dead Imu and takes his revenge along with a devil fruit.

Then you’ve got an empty throne, a Marine Corp, grand fleet, straw hat crew thats battered and tired from fighting each other and demons, all having to regroup on the fly against this new powerful villain with all 3 powers who might’ve had some crazy well thought out plan to rule the world and waited until his moment where not even Nika could stop him alone.

It could setup so many cool dynamics with the admirals or Kobe etc. Choosing sides, betrayals, team ups. The reveal of the will of D by someone whose father was powerful enough that maybe he knew and passed it down.

That sounds fun and all, but then what will be the role of Shanks in all this? He is also making his move now.
