Catarina needs to impersonate Saturn, sneak to Marie Geois, let BB in and kill Imu
I need BB to save me from Imu as the final villain cause I'm not feeling him right now

Imu is the puppet. Whatever was in the Fruit Imu ate is Umi, or the true Mother Sea. IE: I think Imu is possessed by the equivalent of One Piece's Demiurge/Devil.
Most One Piece movies have some element to them that becomes relevant later: Film Z had upgraded Pacifistas, Strong World has SIQ, a drug that functions similarly to SMILE narratively, in that it mutates creatures into dangerous animals.
Tot Musica, the Demon King, in Film Red taking over Uta is foreshadowing Imu being ruled by the true Demon King. I'd have to go back and find them but the Gorosei had some really interesting comments on Tot Musica in Film Red, that are WAY more interesting now that we know they are also gigantic demonic entities.
Wouldn't be surprised if the SH have to beat one Imu in Hell and one Imu in Mary Geoise like with Shanks and Luffy's crews attacking Tot Musica from two different realities at once.
This also allows Imu to be a tragic princess character possessed by evil, allowing Oda to make Imu both a hot young woman with giant titties (Perpetual Youth Surgery) as well as have the Demon King possessing Imu have a deep, evil voice.
This is why Imu is "male" but has such a feminine figure. (I believe Imu stole Lili's body using the Ope Ope no Mi, but couldn't control her Mythical Zoan Sea Dragon Fruit, which is why Lili never left Mary Geoise. Then Imu forced Lili, through threats, to use his old body, and the Ope Ope no Mi, to make him/Lili's body immortal).
This is what I think the Treasure of Mary Geoise is, BTW:
