Either shanks beat a heavily nerfed loki (more nerfed than he is currently against imu) or shanks has some kind of hidden god DF he only used against loki.

Shanks' haki powers are well know. He at best is roger level by portrayal. Loki at age 16 in human terms completely destroyed HK amped harald where even base harald scales to PK level.
Loki isn’t nerfed against Imu
 
It's obvious that Loki >(=)Kaido, it's not up to debate at this point, but it's also not Loki >>> Kaido like some people believe. We need to see more from Loki to better judge wether the difference is negligeable, the same kind between king and Queen, or if it's a whole ass tier of power between them like BM and Katakuri.
 
Why is it so hard to imagine that Shanks beat Loki fair and square? :milaugh:
I agree, from what we've seen Shanks is Oda's golden boy. I hardly imagine that he is weaker than Loki and even Luffy G5 right now. If Shanks after all these years is proven to be weaker than Loki, well I will rise my hands and I will admit I was wrong. But, as for now, all the signals indicates he is above. My humble opinion of course. :willight:

Didn't Gaban practically say that Shanks is the chosen one of the OP world.
 
We don't think Shanks beat Loki fair and square because he was clearly portrayed below him 14 years ago and we were never given any good reason why Shanks would have a significantly better growth than the teenager who just ate a legendary fruit while he lost an arm afterward.

I get the point but Oda built a power system with Haki for a reason. While haki is literally ambition, he can make any character stronger than anyone else if their ambition is superior. Simple as that. Someone will like it, someone will not. It is what it is.

Kaido's words were meme'd, but they will be relevant until the end of the manga.

But then what the point of the story making a big deal of Elbaf's fruit if you *just* need strong haki to beat it?
Shanks beating Loki because he got some haki boost is not technically impossible, but it would be such a jarring choice as Xebec should have further trained his haki instead of begging Harald to join him and eat the fruit for years.
