Loki straight ready to break and start Ramage which luffy fight.
We are 4 chapters of elbaf and we straight to main villain/boss for luffy to fight . Unexpected for oda even in pre-tineskip standard . Unless loki defeat luffy to make elbaf arc much longer .
My prediction is loki will look good aganist any gears except gear 5 then loki will use awaking devil fruit to battle gear 5 luffy .
