You get the wrong idea,i‘m not arguing that Harald is weaker/stronger then Ragnir.
I was just saying in Haralds mind before Imus powers ,he thought he wasn’t able to do it.
.
I see where you're coming from, but I do think we should keep 2 things in mind.
1. Oda pretty intentionally avoided any real conflict between Harald and Ragnir in the FB, and didn't go out of his way to imply that he really tried or even really had a 1v1 with Ragnir before anything happened. He did have Hk Harald say that no one before could tame it, and with his powers, he surely could, but again that isn't necessarily definitive, and I don't think it should change the context that we know about the FB.
2. We still have to keep in mind how the story will go lol. If Ragnir was above Harald/Rocks level, he would be treated as the second biggest threat to the government on the alliance side. Rn, it's clearly looking like Luffy will be that, with Ragnir maybe number 3 after Luffy and Loki. Surely Ragnir is strong for just being a weapon/squirrel, but I think we should wait for something definitive before saying it's stronger than Base Harald lol. Not literally impossible, but let's not set ourselves up and just focus on what is confirmed, which is Loki>Old Gen.
