And base Luffy isn't stronger than Kaido. And Loki was only able to wound Imu—or draw drops of blood—when Imu was distracted.
Loki needs all of this: being an Ancient Giant with monstrous physical strength, a blunt weapon infused with lightning, and ACoC. Meanwhile, Base Luffy, who is weaker than Kaidou, only needs a single punch in base form + Acoc to make Imu bleed.
Are you forgetting that Luffy made Kaido bleed with just red roc at the very start of the fight?
The requirement to damage Kaido was AdvCoA… not advcoc
When base Luffy used AdvCoC on Kaido, it was Hybrid Kaido and they split the sky
did you forget that hybrid Kaido split the sky with BASE LUFFY. Not even g4 Luffy.
your analogy of saying Yamato’s AdvCoC is similar to Loki’s is wrong because of two things
1. base Luffy’s CoC is much higher than yamato’s. Therefore when base Luffy was stomping Kaido, it was not comparable to at all to when Yamato was fighting Kaido.
don’t forget that Kaido needed to get a Drunk mode POWER UP to force Base lufff to go into g4. Without Kaido GETTING A POWER UP, Luffy could have kept fighting him in base form.
2. Imu is much stronger than Kaido. Luffy hit Imu while Imu was focused on Loki. This is the same as Loki hitting Imu when Imu is thinking of Joyboy
Both cases the AdvCoC did less to Imu than it would Kaido. which Yamato cannot compare to
