Honestly the problem is the fanbase man - people are acting like getting a hit is something ? Luffy already punched Imu hard in 1187 - and you know what happened right ?
For me Imu is pretty solid - he is the most powerful in the verse - every move he did it's to kill, he don't play around, he don't mess around - i really can't undestand this logic of the fandom ! If things were like that Kaidou would be the master bun of all - the fucking emperor of sea, the most powerful creature in history go stabbed by 9 buns in his own castle, surroudend by his own subordinates - while in a partneship with ANOTHER fucking Younkou !
Unfortunatelly for me all this hate on imu is bad cope most of times

I respect your take, but I honestly think that idea is pretty weak—and if you look at it rationally, it’s extremely unlikely to happen. Let me break it down:
Right now in the One Piece world, Blackbeard has way too many targets on his back:
> He has Garp: Luffy's grandfather and Dragon's father—two of the most dangerous people on the seas.
> He will definitely target Luffy’s protected territories: either Wano or Fish-Man Island.
Those two factors alone are more than enough. If Oda follows the narrative cycle—where Elbaf mirrors Sabaody—the next phase would parallel Impel Down and Marineford. What would that look like right now? Luffy heading out to rescue Garp, of course. It’s essentially the exact same setup with the exact same players: a prisoner, Blackbeard, Luffy, and Dragon (who was represented back in Impel Down through Ivankov).
And sure, Catarina Devon can copy Saturn’s appearance, but I doubt she can replicate his powers, especially since those abilities were directly tied to Imu. Besides, they don't even know Saturn is already dead.
All of this makes me believe Blackbeard has simply set up his own downfall. The Will of D is going to push back hard against him, and it's already starting. Plus, even if Teach tries to usurp Imu, that alone won't automatically make him King of the World. Imu holds that position because he has ruled from the shadows for over 800 years—it's not just about Devil Fruit powers.
