I still put my Money on Loki not being the Enemy they say he would be.
i am sure he was a troublesome, like ace and luffy were. Always causing trouble etc.. But i am damn sure he is good at Heart and got played with King Harald and Jarul. Either he wasnt the one killing the king, or he did it in selfdefense or Defense of Elbaph.
Wouldnt surprise me if Jarul works with the government of/and Harald wanted to become the sun god and conquer the world.
So i say it again, Loki is Not the bad guy.
This will either be shown directly next chapter, or he will knock Hajrudin etc. out and flee, but wont harm them further.
Can imagine he knocks them out by CoC, flees but takes Luffy, Zoro and Sanji with him. They Take Chopper to help him and we get the story of Parts of it in a few chapters.
Loki will be the, slightly different, Princess in disguise this arc..
