Okay so this theory is going to be quite controversial but I believe it has its place. Recently I have been seeing people talking about the moral qualities of each faction in the series, of course each side has its negatives but if we will take specific character who seems to be the most kind and right it is Coby. First of all he is just a simple boy, no devil fruit, no any relation with the important clans or families (so far and i hope it stays), he is just a guy. And I think there is a reason Coby is the first comrade Luffy meets, the fact that Oda didnt not forsake him but has shown his development closer to the end of series means something.
Now lets bring the topic regarding Imu, as we have seen so far, Imu is an invincible monster(perhaps even a god?) who has destroyed every top-tier with an ease, and now brings the question. If he is so strong then why wouldnt he just have flooded the world long time ago and completed his world as he intended? Well I believe the reason for that is because Nerona Imu is actually sealed. It would make sense that Joyboy have seen that he cannot win against Imu as its not even a human or mortal being, but rather what if Imu is actually an ancient god trapped inside somebody? The vessel, maybe thats the reason why Imus figure is actually just a black creature, because its just a vessel of an ancient god, and that ancient god was shown in the Harley in its full form. What adds to that theory is that Joyboy seems to be proficient in sealing haki and his power, as we have witnessed Emeth releasing rope with full of Joyboys haki, so it would seem that as the last resort Joyboy has concluded all of his remaining haki and life energy into the seal, in the center of the world: Redline.
Now, you may ask me. But how is the Imu and Coby interconnected? Well now the main part begins. So far we dont know how Domi Reversi works but I think it is somehow connected to the emotions...what if Domi Reversi works on somebody who is in the negative state of emotions, if the Nika is the god who laughs and makes other laugh, it would make sense that Imu is the opposite which is why Imu fears Joyboy and Nika so much. Because Nika is an natural counter to the Imu. Well sure you may say, but how is Coby connected to that story? Well now comes my vision how the final fight is going to be.
As Luffy has reached his the final Nika form close to the original god, he challenges Imu perhaps with the other people. Luffy and his team are close to winning, as Nikas abilities are able to make everyone laugh which is the opposite of negative emotions Imu brings in people that allows him to Domi Reversi. Yet...as the fight closes off..Imu uses his most powerful card: Ragebaiting. He tricks BB and Loki into rage because he tells them how he killed Rocks and Harald, saying how pathetically they died and etc, which triggers BB and Loki in their rage to attack Imu, which turns in Imus favour as their negative emotions bring the spirit of vengeance and cast their Nika shield away. As this happens Imu uses his ability which we dont know yet to stab them and then suck off their life force either with Domi Reversi or something else. And this is where the main part happens. What if two fruits Xebec said that are required to defeat Imu are the ones that BB and Loki have, considering that Xebecs wife lived it would make sense that BB learnt truth and which is why he killed a teammate for the fruit, because he understood the importance. Dark dark fruit nullifies devil powers, as for Lokis fruit which is the second one we dont know yet. But as Imu uses domi reversi, he commands Loki and BB to use both of their fruits combining into some technique. Luffy tries to do something but it is too late..the seal that kept Imu was broken...
We see the huge transformation of Imu into the creature we saw in the mural. The final fight between Nika and Imu begins...
as the fight goes on, Luffy unfortunately loses because afterall he is not the real god, he is simply the shadow as he uses the devil fruit and not natural divine abilities, and if Imu is a sea devil then it would make bigger sense as Luffys abilities would just be nullified because as I said, his abilities aren't his own,its a copy from a devil fruit. As Luffy loses and falls, he prepares the final attack, but Imu says something like: THIS WONT WORK A SECOND TIME JOYBOY! He dodges it, but little did Imu know, Luffy used all of his haki to send a signal towards Coby, as Coby is the only one who can defeat Imu. Coby is just a simple boy, and the most important, the most kind one using purely his haki. And the last person Imu would expect to defeat him would not be a D member or any other important clan member but just some boy from east blue. Yet that action was already made by the Nika fruit. As we have seen, when Luffy are his fruit he already instantly liberated somebody from Imus prison..and it was Shanks..so what if when Luffy and Coby met, the reason Luffy was so interested in Coby is because subconsscioussly Nika made a bet that if this time Joyboy loses again, there will be an attack that Imu wont expect, in form of just a boy. That would also make sense as I see, after God Valley, the reason why Garp didn't leave Marines is because he understood that Imu can be defeated also from within, which is why Coby would also make Dragons, Garps and Luffys wish come true. As Luffys voice of all things reaches Coby, he tells him him, that he has already grown into someone who Coby wanted to be, and now it is time to make other peoples wishes come true. Coby remembers when he met Luffy for first time and then tells him "Dont worry Luffy-san this time it will be me who will protect you and payback for your help when we met!". And so as he gathers Luffys haki, Coby reaches the perfect haki, as Coby isn't the devil fruit user he is free of sin, and as he is morally the kindest person, Imus abilities simply cannot work on him because of his nature, similar how Enel couldn't hurt Luffy because he is made of rubber. And so Coby defeats Imu and becomes the admiral of the new post-wg Navy. And so the series ends with Coby staying near the Luffy memorial. The end.
