Speculations Did Shanks beat Loki in a clean 1 vs 1?

[Blackknife]

Or did he "defeat" him just like Luffy "defeated" Kaido, meaning Loki basically got jumped.

On one hand Oda really loves glazing Shanks, on the other hand it is hard to believe given what we saw on the castle. Loki became much stronger than Shanks during that incident and that's a fact.

Assuming that since then Lokis power level remained stagnant, Shanks must have gotten at least 5x stronger in order to beat him.

Shanks could beat him in a Fair 1v1,
Did He though? I'm not sure, 50-50,

Also, don't forget that Surviving Elbaph Guards are apparently Dead, cuz where are They?
I doubt Red-Hair Pirates Killed them, this means it's possible that Loki was already Fighting Someone when Shanks stepped in,

Loki calling Shanks a Coward, might Hint that Shanks refused to Fight that Enemy, hence why Loki was Mad at him,
But Loki said that He didn't reach Mary Geoise implying He didn't get to Fight WG Leader(s), so I doubt it's Imu or Gorosei,

Was it Dragon? Marine HQ? Man With Burn Scar?
Regardless of who, it means there is Someone beside Shanks who didn't want Loki to Fight WG,

Poisoned woki

Doesn't say but by his hype and shanks being willing to fight with gaban against king herald. I wouldn't put it past shanks to have used his crew to win. It's just like saying luffy beat kiado but ignoring the massive amount of help he got. At the end of the day luffy won but it wasn't solely by him alone.

They never even fought. Loki just let himself get tied up.

 

[Killerj]

Loki koed and tied himself for 5 years

Loki was awakening but his powers were too strong for his body to handle and that K.O.ed him.

 

[NikaInParis]

He captured him, not beat him. And captured opens a whole can of worms...

Imagine thinking Shanks beat this guy without an asterisk.

I liked your post purely for that awesome Loki panel. I can't stop underlying just how much Oda knocked it out of the park with Loki.

Shanks level Haki canonically made Imu twerk btw

That was the intention of this post, to appreciate that aura. It was already an amazing intro panel. But honestly after this flashback in retrospect this is now up there in the best intro panel debate.

Also this scene hits so much harder now too, cause this dude really wasn't bluffing.

What a fucking gangster this guy is. 6 years straight chained up in seastone and he's grinning ear to ear.

The only other panel of him I like more is Loki standing above Luffy, one leg chained to the tree, his face hidden in shadows but the grin visible. Pure aura.

If Toei does half as good a job when adapting these chapters as they did when Kaido was introduced after Dressrosa, the Loki clip will see tens of millions of views.

Shanks has his crew aa help to win faster.

Funny how everyone says “Shanks captured Loki” instead of “The Red Hair Pirates captured Loki”

Yeah, almost as funny as people saying Shanks made Ryokugyu leave, even though Ryo talked explicitly about the RHP. Not to mention saying merely that "It wasn't the moment".

He was afraid of the Monkey

Lmao do you really think that Ben and co added to Shanks’s WiFi Haki?

Real hidden super top tier.

It's no wonder since Luffy/Joy Boy is a monkey.

I am merely pointing out the double standard.

Wifi haki nonsense apart (Ryo took all alone and by surprise an haki on par with the one that de-transformed and sent the Gorosei back to Marijoa pating lol, oh: and gave Imu some PTSD), Ryo decided to withdraw only because all RHP were there.
He said it twice, and even said that he was retiring because that wasn't the moment.

Why is pointing out Ryo's words is a problem if you are pointing out Gaban's words?

This is who gave an on guard Shanks PTSD btw

A dfless out of shape somali man in wolverine cosplay, and y'all are tryna convince me Loki is in danger
