Like I already I've already said in the matchup predictions for Elbaf, Holy Knights are most likely gonna get smoked, and then Gunko somehow escapes back to Marijoea to bring back Shamrock and potentially Garling.
Yeah, Oda Is going to undo what he spent all this chapters to do just to bring (again) villains who didn't have any real plot relevance in this arc and that he deliberately sent away in the first place.

And I thought that after this and Shamrock going away no One could have doubts anymore:

 
I´m a bit skeptical of the Mihawk Crocodile duo personally. I won´t say they have nothing in common, but it feels forced. All you have to do is read Alabasta and see Crocodile laughing his ass off, enjoying the time of his life at the idea of killing 1 million people with his bomb. I won´t say Mihawk is a bleeding heart, he is brutal in his own way against random pirates messing with him, but I don´t feel like him getting along so well with Croco works that well. You do have a point about the dishonorable thing though, I do respect Shiryu tricking people and participating in jumping people, and yeah, that wouldn´t work so well with Mihawk(though his student was ready to jump Gaban:milaugh:). Overall I would like something a bit more... from Shiryu. Okay maybe he isn´t a gag character, but I wonder what he likes about Blackbeard, I mean it´s an abrupt shift from being an impel down guard who kills prisoners, to becoming a pirate himself. Does he help run Blackbeards territories or something maybe? It would be interesting to see what life is like on the BB territories for sure imo
Well honestly you can say that about a lot of the members. What DO they like about Blackbeard?
We can't be sure right now. I think that'll be elaborated on when the SH get to Hachinosu to defeat the crew.
But from what we know so far it's probably a fairly deep reason, iirc Shiryu said he was waiting to meet a man like Blackbeard and Blackbeard himself seemed to like him immediately after meeting him and said he was strong and that he'd be a fine addition to the crew (unless I'm confusing them with Kaido and King or something like that).
They had an almost instantaneous click, just like Luffy and Zoro, Kaido and King, Roger and Rayleigh, etc.
This is a bond that runs deep, and I'm sure it runs deep for a very good reason.
 
elbaf is burning , brook and usopp drunk :)) but fear concept fit most for these both. Usopp fears everything , it can be some perona style thing , brook has no reason to fear since he is already dead.

Who says they don't have any plot relevance though?
Gunko quite literally asked Shamrock if he was going to visit Harald's grave a few chapter ago.
What business do the Holy Knights and Shamrock have with Harald's grave if they have no relation to the plot?
This is typical Oda deflection. Loki is a red-herring and so is the lighting strike that caused fire this chapter.
From the moment I saw Loki and his interaction with Luffy, I already knew there was more to him than is being presented to us.
Franouske's already said all there is to say about this, Luffy isn't really treating Loki as an enemy so he likely isn't one and hell Zoro himself didn't seem to completely believe the Elbaf rumors either and went to go check himself to make sure of Loki's character. Mosa himself says Loki is kind and he's just being a tsundere. Then there's also the fact that Oda's gone out of his way to make Loki the enemy of the Holy Knights. On the the contrary I think it is pretty damn obvious that Loki isn't the main antagonist of the arc. At the very least it's obvious he isn't just all "black" as the rumors are tryna make us believe.

Will we get a skirmish btw Loki and the guys in the Underworld? Sure, but that's all it's gonna be imo.
Moroever beating Loki is not really gonna move anything plot-wise, we'd just be back to square one. All that would've changed is that Luffy nilly willy wrecked Elbaf for absolutely no reason.
