Im just saying that we arent going to get an entirely physical type fight with someone like Gunko. Oda doesnt really draw Luffy actually fighting female characters, especially victims. Sure we get the gag here or there but we know its always circumstantial. Its also not even Imu's body, so there has to be the assumption that he has an eventual limitation with his powers through one of his contracts. If he was really here? Id say yeah this makes sense but he's not.
Im just not convinced this situation is going to stay this stagnant. Its like Egghead only having Kizaru and Saturn and then all of a sudden Saturn summons the other Gorosei there. I 100% believe the paradigm needs to shift for the tension to increase here, be it DR Loki or Imu summons the other HKs after we see what was going on in Mariejoa
Otherwise this arc is largely resolving no major characters lol
