Oda also said that Kaido won’t lose to some big punch, he also said that a lurking legend is coming within the year of that interview or something like that. Oda himself isn’t a reliable source, he spews shit out of the spur of the moment.
What do you mean lesser reward? Saving the entire planet from the 900-year-old ruler is a lesser reward than some bikini hidden in an island? Lol
He says that the story is over whenever the One Piece is found, this isn’t even a literal statement because there will be one long epilogue to wrap everything up regardless. He also said that the situation around it changes. It’s most likely a general estimate by him, if there’s one big fight after the OP is found then this statement could still be true. Basically, the end is near and 95+% finished whenever the OP is found.
And even if Laughtale is the last fight, that doesn’t prove that the World Government and Imu won’t be the final villains to go down. They will still be the ultimate villains based on current lore buildup.

If Oda isn't reliable source then no one is.
As I said until you prove Emperors won't be active in the end, no reason to believe they won't be final villains.
Oda also did this:
He is following the plan, these 4 Emperors are more special than others.
-Again no answer for why they should get the ultimate treasure One Piece then turn back and fight for a lesser reward.
-Again no answer for why Imu doesn't have 1 road poneglif so he needs to go down before One Piece.
Until then Oda's words are more reliable.
Bro read the thing YOU sent yourself to prove the story is to fight against the Yonko.
"At first, One Piece was intended to be a story that lasted 5 years. It WAS supposed to be a story against Pirates called Yonkou. However, I came up with the idea of Shichibukai".
This was Oda's original plan for the story where the Yonkos were the final villains that were meant to be beaten to find the one piece. This was during the time where oda hadn't even come up with the ideas of warlords. Clearly, that was his old vision for how the story was supposed to pan out but since the introduction of the warlords, that clearly changed. He had a new vision which led to the story extending for 2-3 decades or however long this story will go on for. Beating the Yonkos as FVs is not the current goal of the story.
This doesn't mean Teach won't end up as the FV. He could still be the final guy after Imu is taken down but all this will only happen after the One Piece is found. Finding the One Piece is the key to take the WG down and turn the world upside down. It's Joyboy's entire story after all...

Warlords only extended the story while he kept Emperors as final villains. Warlords didn't change the story, they only extended the time.
See the 4 Emperors foreshadowing above.
Whats your excuse for Oda's other statement that One Piece ends with finding it?
One Piece is the ultimate treasure as well, you guys seriously believing Luffy and others will want to fight Imu for learning ancient history? Lmao Luffy is not a hero, he fights for his own dream One Piece.
Imu needs to go down before as Oda revealed Imu as a contender for One Piece race and potentially 1 missing road poneglif belongs to Imu, he needs to be defeated before.
Also aligns with the logic that they can't get the ultimate treasure then turn back to fight someone for a lesser reward.
