It's a valid question though. What can Luffy reasonably achieve here to demonstrate superiority over Loki? There's no way Imu loses here, so Luffy can't amaze Loki by beating Imu or anything
Plus, in the flashback, Roger didn't really show superiority to his rivals either, so I don't think Elbaf is the time for that, the arc is clearly more about establishing Imu as the number 1 threat, and little else.
