So Oda has revealed that One Piece will end in 3 years.

Which is in line with other statements that this is the final saga. What does this mean? Well it means one thing:
Rather, this is going to be like wano. Remember how everyone said Kid and Law wouldn't defeat BM only for that exact thing to happen? Yeah. Between Dragon, Sabo, Kid, and Law, the admirals are falling to side characters. There simply isn't time for Luffy to fight everyone.
I think the most logical way for Oda to wrap the story up in a single 3 year saga would be for Teach to conquer mariejois, kill Imu, take his DF, and become emperor of the world. This makes sense for a multitude of reasons:
While Oda could deviate from this formula, as he has in some other arcs. It wouldn't make sense as the final arc of OP should showcase Luffy as the warrior of liberation moreso than any other arc.
As of now, Teach doesn't have a group of people he is oppressing. Yet he is the most important antagonist in OP. If Luffy is the sun, he is the darkness. So Teach needs to oppress some group of people that Luffy will then free. My guess: The celestial dragons.
Teach invades marejois and kills Imu; some high ranking CDs, like maybe the gorosei, escape to new marineford where they are defeated alongside the admirals by the revos and supernova. However the CDs that don't escape are enslaved by Teach; the pirates do onto them what they have done to others their entire lives. The celestial dragons realize the error of their ways and beg for someone to save them. Luffy ultimately shows up at the end and saves the CDs from Teach, as Roger once did by fighting Xebec.
Indebted to Luffy, the CDs willingly relinquish their power and go to a moon or a sky island to live away from everyone else. Slavery and oppression no longer exists. Luffy created one peace. The end.

- the straw hats will only have one more big fight

- Teach also carries the will of D, in killing Imu he fulfills his role as an enemy of God.
- Imu, a faceless villain with little emotional connection to Luffy, is removed from the story in favor of the most developed villain in OP: Teach
- Teach obtains his powerful 3rd DF, surpassing Kaido and the other legendary pirates, making him a worthy final opponent for Luffy
- narrative surrounding joyboy**
