The fact that the other Gods died/Imu being overly superior to them though.
As said, he's the strongest (maybe), not ten times stronger. Just to talk about what we thought was the peak before the gods came in, you had WB ten times above Roger? I don't think so.

As said, Imu "did nothing" against another God level + Luffy, and outoside Marijoa. What's the problem? He should be stopped, if anything.

If nerfed prime Roger came to Erbad and found, idk, Shanks + Luffy and "did nothing", what would have been the problem?
Would have been strange the opposite.
well, my problem will be in story writing. You don't need to summon Imu's real body just to show him lose. That all could happen with Gunko Imu. This is why losing is not an option.

Ok, and I was of the same opionin, but before Loki turned out to be one of those gods.

With another Major God there, plus Luffy, Imu/Gunko would have been destroyed. Should have been.

though to be clear, I don't expect Imu to lose in the sense we'll be KOed. He'll lose in the sense he'll run out of time and will be forced back in Marijoa.

As franky said, the straw hats evolution to a yonko crew means they've moved past being used as hype tools for strong characters early on. The days of Kaido one shotting Luffy are over, he already twerked on the gorosei and turned kizaru into a pizza, I'm guessing he's about to send them blasting off again in Elbaf.

It makes narrative sense at this point for Loki to die, so Im might get half a W by winning a battle but losing the overall arc. Not much of a W though considering that Shanks likely didn't struggle this much.

again, even as Loki beign a god thing doesn't justify Imu's summoning in real body just to show him losing.

Also there is huge problem here. Ichigo wasn't able to push back Aizen. Naruto wasn't able to push back Madara without last power up. Which is why everything right now makes zero sence. GunkoMu could be just stronger, and then defeated by Loki+Luffy without Imu's losing face. But now, Losing isn't an option anymore.

Wasn’t the whole point of the Xebec flashback to establish that the reunion of Lokis and Nikas fruits are what’s needed to take down Imu?

If Imu takes L in Elbaf, I will drop this series once and for all. I'm tired of plot convenience and author that will downplay anything just for the plot's sake.

For me Rave Master >>>> One Piece and it's not even close right now
Imu losing brings a lot of potential good things for the story, it might be bad for the SH since they win again, but it would also bring chaos into the world and truly set up the race for the One piece as a free for all with no intervention from the WG (The marines would be a rogue faction with Akainu and Koby/Fujitora dividing the forces in two.)

Imu losing actually opens the story so much more than him winning (Who sits on the throne now ? What becomes of the marine ? Do some yonko try to conquer countries that were previously protected by the WG... But you don't understand it yet because some of y'all just want to see Luffy get thrown around because you don't like his character anymore.

But again, Gunko/Imu again a full fledged God + Luffy would have been trashed. There was literally no other option but for Imu to come, and wouldn't have made much sense for him to not come either.

And I can't see how nerfed Imu being forced back to Marijoa would be a problem for him. In fact, It's hype.

As said, if nerfed Roger had been pushed back by Shanks + Luffy, would have been a problem?

No, because Davy Jones and JB losed to Imu. How exactly Xebec could know what needs to defeat Imu?

No, it's ruins the story. If BB kills Imu because he, for example, used attack like Pain, than and only than it wouldn't feel bad for story. But if you make someone like Madara beign defeated by Naruto not even at full power. Than this story tense will always be false tension. You should end this story immidiately,

Xebec clearly knew about Imu and his weaknesses.

We don’t know how that fight ended. For all we know Joyboy and Davy fought each other first and Imu just beat the weakened winner. We just don’t know the history of these characters.
Yes, but we have all reasons to believe that Imu is the villain that wasn't killed/defeated 800 years ago. So because of fact that he actualy won and build WG, he is no one else, but ultimate evil. So taking L for him turns the whole story into shit. This is not a question about godlike power. But this is question about whole story. If Luffy and Loki would be able push back Imu than with Shanks they can win this war. This is something that shouldn't be possible even as assumption if you want right tension build up.

It's the same to say that Kakashi can defeat Madara easily. This is huge problem. It comes to this threw tons of plot contivinience bullshit. Same happened to Fairy Tail. I dropped FT and never finished it.

And yes, no one can replace Imu, because he ruled this world for 800 years. No matter who will be called as FV, no one can rule this world another 800 years and commit so many crimes.

Considering his goal is elimination of Loki and Luffy, he obviously fails.
No giant army for his collection either.
Something should happen tho, that would draw the aggro of SHs towards Mariejois.
Fk. You've made me think Teach will be the catalyst.
If Imu fails here he might want some reinforcement.
Teach already wants to be a part of the WG.

BBP might capture Vivi and make her a hostage.

This would also be a perfect opportunity for Teach to get close to Imu and even trick the WG and the rest to fight each other while he does something sneaky.

Yep, this aligns with his coronation ceremony.
