Imu will just give us a little tease, Blackbeard still has other things to do. The only other enemy that could still give Luffy a competitive fight that forces him to grow is the Fleetadmiral. He has to be defeated. The navy was the main organization opposing the Strawhats for so long, plus the personal reasons due to the killing of Ace. Luffy still has the scar from that, and it aches.
The Holyknights will leave in a couple of chapters. Not much to do in Elbaf with them gone. Maybe a few chapters about the Heaven World, Redhair Pirates, Urouge. But then there needs to be a new destination.
Imu is desperate for fighters, why isn't the navy enough? Or are they not sending many people because they are busy themselves? Last time it was so, it was because they were preparing the execution of Emperor Whitebeard's second divison commander. This time they could be preparing the execution of Emperor Luffy's second Grandfleet captain.
The navy is a new HQ, of course we will see that, because the Strawhats will visit it. It is now in the New World, so the crew, and their allies, can sail there without coating their ship. How conveniant...
