Character Discussion Why Kid's loss is genuinely infuriating and Shanks is a trash, unrealistic utopia character created by the delusional daydreams of a weakling nerd

Because thats fundamentally what Roger states. Did you read his Wano flashback? One Piece 150% is a macguffin required to deal with Imu and save the world. Its why Roger couldnt use it and resolve the problem in his era.

So no, One Piece absolutely needs to be found first before Luffy can do anything about the WG. Whitebeard, Roger, and most recently Vegapunk all state this in different ways.

No one is talking about the treasure giving Luffy a power up bro. Its about toppling the World Government as a whole. It cannot be done without becoming Pirate King first.
The One Piece toppling the World Government doesn't mean there will be a giant arc afterwards where they're the main antagonist. For all we know, Luffy's grand battle with Imu could be Imu preventing him fromj getting the One Piece.

Which is beside the point im making here lol, that still suggests Imu is the FV

I dont care where it happens, it just ultimately suggests the treasure is needed to do something about the WGs control over the world.
