Dragon or blackbeard only people they maybe able to push back against Imu. Luffy and Loki too beatup/tired
I was thinking Shanks. He bodied Kidd right before Luffy arrived in Elbaph. Dragon is the one who attacked the holy land. Blackbeard is probably still trying to tool up. I can see him heading to Fishman island to get Shirahoshi.

So much to think about from this chapter..
- Feels like Imu leaving the holy land and everyone else worrying so loudly makes me think it's setting up for a real invasion. The Revolutionaries have been handling the blockade and seem to be fighting with Shanks' bro. But I'm also thinking back to Blackbeard's crew stealing Saturn's image, and the flashback to Rocks saying he'd be back...this feels like a perfect opening for BB to make his move, though he seemed closer to Wano than anything and has business there. So, Idk, I just think Imu's out, and it feels like someone will make a move.
- The holy knights having metal hearts is interesting too. Maybe their immortality isn't just Imu's power but rather void-century technology. Also, that'd give them a natural weakness to Kidd if he ever comes back. I'm clinging to hope he'll do something significant and not just be Shanks' fodder.
- Speaking of natural counters, Ragnir's ability to remove thermal energy makes me wonder what'd happen if Loki wanted to scrap with Sabo or Akainu. It'd be even more interesting if Ragnir's a counter to the mother flame, though that's supposed to have endless energy so it couldn't be drained if that's the case.
- Imu's arrival and image look like a hybrid of a bunch of different races' standout abilities and traits. He looks Lunarian, with Oni horns and Awakened Zoan Clouds. But also, he has a back ornament like Enel, his landing turned buildings alive like Big Mom's homies, the coiling thing under him reminds me of Boa's snake, and his weapon reminds me of Whitebeard's spear...it kinda reminds me of Seraphim but with way more traits.
- And lastly, why is Imu coughing up blood? Idk if there's much to work with or theorize, so my first shot in the dark is that Imu's immortal but still feeling effects from eating more than one devil fruit/having more than one power. But it's pure hot take guesswork.

Double-post, my bad

I was thinking maybe the blood came from the fight with Luffy and Loki. It seems he can take damage if he has a contract with someone and they get hurt. He seemed hurt after Loki killed Harald. Or maybe its something environmental. He cant leave the holy land for an extended period of time because hes from the moon or something. Which would also prevent Imu from taking out everyone.
After Elbaph ends I think Loki goes to punk hazard to free those giants trapped in ice. Luffy and his crew find the man marked by flames and we start the final war shortly after.

That makes sense. I hope it's not just an environmental time limit, but damage to him based on his contractors being injured would be a cool way to weaken him enough for Luffy to take him out.
I'm hella curious about how Blackbeard and Cross Guild will factor into the final arcs. Luffy's path feels pretty straightforward from here unless Imu forces a detour here, but there are a lot of moving parts with the side stories that I'm hoping will have creative ways of tying into the action.
