General & Others Next Straw Hat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

[Non]

Also they - Loki will join BB (ignoring all the bond build up SHs will gradually get with Loki)

There is a conflict in the background of the story between BBP and the Revolutionary army.

Loki joining Blackbeard means he'll fight against Sabo, while Luffy straight up invited him.

Loki joining Blackbeard would just upset Luffy, but there's no beef between the giants and the revos.

There's actually a conflict between giants and the Davy clan.

Only Nami and Zoro witnessed the Luffy and Blackbeard argument, the Elbaph history would include Loki into Luffy's side.

Are you kidding?
Loki's captured attack was as impressive as the Rocks and Harald encounter
There's no way Loki would want to fight YC6 after fighting Harald and Shanks and Shamrock
Even old Garp easily destroyed half of Teach's crew while Loki has even better hype now he can easily one-shot half of Teach's crew
At best Chopper would be San's rival
So who will Loki fight after joining the crew?

 

[Devilbat]

Is there a valid argument to support Loki not joining?

Facts:
Not everyone who is invited joins.
Size for now (unless there's any hax for this).

Opinions:
Loki is too strong as he was shown to rival Luffy.
Narratively he is an oppressed prince and there's a place for him on Elbaph (just like in Wano for Momo).

 

[Monet]

However you look at it
Bb crew is underwhelming and outside from shiryou nothing impressive kuza aside
So the crew seems designed to fit all SHs vs BBc 1vs1 sqme as barook works or cp9.
...
The problem is that no one there match Loki,
Yamato could fit vs one of BBc but Loki is different


Unless if it will be vs kuzan
Then yeah
This fight will be legendary

But it seems far fetched.

....

Sanjuwan wolf is a joke he is jinbe / franky fight.

Conflict or not, but never it happened that a character invited by Luffy and going through bonding phase with SHs, end up being part of an antagonist faction.


Infact, him part of Grand fleet makes no sense as well because we already have Elbaph representation there - Hajruddin who took oath as well.

Now, Haj simply can't make Loki be leading that alliance because it was Haj who took that oath along with 6 others and SHs to form Grand fleet.

Blackbeard being the main villain of this part of the story could mean Loki would fit nicely in the battle.

The main villain being the WG and navy , would make Loki joining Luffy's crew not necessary except for pure strength.

In the current chapters it shows Elbaph and the celestial dragons vs the Davy clan.

Luffy's blood line is involved in the whole incident, Rocks left on bad terms with Harald.

Will the holy knights be successful in making Elbaph into those kingdoms in the present?

Though, the Elbaph giants are allying with the straw hat pirates.

 

[Scarred_Face]

Has it ever happened that someone did not join when Luffy asked them to be in his crews? When Luffy asked people to join they ended up joining. Loki is a strong candicate.

Also the whole Wano gang, Momo, Tama, Kinemon (again) and Yamato.

On a random note, I would have really liked Baby 5 to join the crew tbh. But I'm glad she's married to Sai and thus part of the Grand Fleet indirectly at least that way. I really like her character and devil fruit especially.

I would love more gender balanced crew, but seeing how Oda usually treats female characters, maybe it's for the best....
I am glad Baby 5 got out of that mess she was a part of.

Yeah that's true, ironically it's a blessing she's not in the crew now you mention it.

Gaimon

The Sabaody incident would have gone VERY differently if Gaimon had joined SMH.

None of them have same narrative significance as Loki.

Ace had it but he was already a WBP and Sabo - he's already a RA.

Loki, on the other hand, is not wanted by Elbaph

Just like Yamato wasn't wanted on Wano.....

[milluki]

i don't see what is left to discuss, especially with the flashback prominently featuring the kuja women. it is hancock.

 

[coolio]

Lol

Anti Loki bros are hilarious.

They - Loki won't join SHs because he will break wings dynamics

Also they - Loki will join BB (ignoring all the bond build up SHs will gradually get with Loki)


Bruh....who among the SHs will fight Loki then?

Reality is they are just vivi, yamao, carrot, bonney fans who are feeling insecure with rising chances of Loki joining SH....

Carrot is destined for greatness at the endgame, anyway. Joining is just a bonus, but I'm believing a bigger picture.
