This has to be a reference to Buggy.
 
Here's an alternate:

Also when getting the image to post here I just noticed Wang Zhi is throwing the finger:

And for one more thing Loki and Shirahoshi Shaggy have never technically met

Doesn’t Oda do that “these two people will meet” thing every time he hypes up a new arc or what’s set to happen in the future?

Like a fortune teller or the horoscope, its always vague enough that you can fit anything you want in there.

Last year:
As for the manga, we've finally arrived in Elbaph!
It's a laid back kingdom, but the serenity is about to be shattered by the arrival of a particular man!
Meanwhile, there will be tumult in other seas as well!
And at last, that one guy will begin shaking up the world!
Take a deep breath now, because soon you may not be able to come up for air!

2023:
So many characters went through some significant challenges this year.
Their world can be a truly terrifying place.
If Luffy and crew manage to make it out of Egghead safe and sound...do you think they might go to...THAT island?
I mean, I thought up a route for them that doesn't involve it but...I'm not sure I could stop Luffy, even if I wanted to.
If they do go, you know that means there's gonna be a no-holds-barred struggle to obtain...THAT THING!

so if this ends up being true we would have this along with moria doing his thing with shadows and zombie oars. two people controlling people from the shadows (or with shadows in morias case) and while it would be funny if imu is the exact same as every other arc something like this happens in. i think imu is going to be different.

otherwise it makes no sense for him to remain in hiding when he could just use his power to rule with an iron fist like what someone like doflamingo would do.

my guess is there was an old king of the world sort of like the roger of their time and when he died there was a fight over who should take the throne afterwards.

one of the people competing for the throne was davy jones and another was imu. davy was never actually king because he was not the chosen one the same way blackbeard was not right one either. the right one was joyboy but imu refused to let that happen .

If that’s the case, I wonder if we’re going to have it where Joy Boy had a crew that were just prototypical Straw Hats, with Emet being the role of Franky.

see thats what im guessing. though i dont think emet is the franky shockingly enough. i think emet is the chopper and the franky will be one of the ancient giant shipwrights or a descendant of them.

Sorry for it being kinda junky but the website i nabbed this from doesn't do double spreads very well, the way Rocks talked Joyboy and Davey were two different people, backed up a bit by Imu coping about "Davey was never king..not even for a second" which means that Davey was likely the real leader of the 20 nations that became the world Government..and Imu backstabbed him and set up the bullshit about "The empty throne"
 
i am thinking that the D clan are the rightful heirs to the throne, it seems like blackbeard is one of very few people to actually understand its meaning. maybe it has a connection to davy, like he was king of the Ds figuratively

I am thinking that the D's were the initial leaders in the war against Joyboy's kingdom, we have one confirmed D. family who was involved with the World Government side.

Except Whitebeard said Blackbeard wasn’t the one Roger was waiting for, whatever that means.

And whatever “D” is, Imu seems to really hate that bunch thanks to Lili. Also, I’m not sure if “D” was against Joy Boy considering Garp has been practically the only “D” who hasn’t been shown to be a thorn in the side of the WG, if not openly hostile to them.

The how did Lili get invited to be one of the Celestial dragons? Given that Davey and Joyboy are likely different people, and that Davey apparently "Won" the crown here Joyboy lost before getting rugpulled by Imu I think they kind of have to be in opposition to each other

There’s still the part where Lili didn’t become a Celestial Dragon and Imu claims that nobody with the “D” initial knows what it means. For all we know, Lili was some kind of double agent or got swayed to help Joy Boy because Joy Boy is just Luffy from hundreds of years ago (and maybe also Luffy with something resembling tactical acumen).

Also, the whole idea of betrayal doesn’t really gel with me, especially considering the idea that Joy Boy is basically proto-Luffy, and Luffy’s crew is defined by its unwavering loyalty.

I've been thinking about this and come to the conclusion that, sure Luffy's crew is defined by unwavering loyalty now because of what they've all been through together, but at the start when they all joined it was about their personal dreams and how Luffy could help them get there.

Zoro has long since rescinded the thing about cutting Luffy down if he gets in the way, but that change was brought on by the loss against Mihawk. What if Joy Boy's equivalent to Zoro was just made of sterner stuff, so never had a similar loss that made him reconsider his priorities?

i think the D's are something similar to the tattoo the citizens of wano had if they were on the side of the kozuki family. in this case they pass it down from generation to generation. but its been so long that nobody really remembers what its actual meaning is.

i think originally the D was meant to be a brand of sorts something to say "i own you and your decedents for the rest of time" but then nika or maybe joy boy set them all free and the D became a symbol of freedom instead which is why it was passed down afterwards.

almost like doing so is what helped keep the spirit of nika alive. i could see them all being buccaneers like kuma but if that was the case why did kuma never get a D?

this is why i think its entirely possible some of joyboys crew could have been the gorosei. if imus powers change how a person behaves whos to say he could not have presented himself as a good person in the past and lied about the contracts abilities claiming they would just make everyone stronger and leaving out the part where imu gets absolute control over you.

Except we've already seen how Imu's MO is to have the Gorosei do the lying and sugarcoating, and when Imu shows up, Imu only knows how to exert total control, where the only way to break free is death. Everything about Imu and Joy Boy is pretty much lending itself too much to speculation at the moment.

Right now, I think the only things to ask about Imu are:

1. Who Imu is.
2. How Imu became one with the shadows (and considering Imu's powers, it looks like it's more than just Oda holding off some big reveal).
3. How Imu became the shadow ruler of the planet.
