Discussed this earlier with some bros but this is what will happen,bookmark or screenshot this.
The fact that Loki isn’t koed either just feeds him even more hype,even Luffy thought he died
And again even more confirmation hybrid Loki and maybe gunkos eye ability will be the trump card
this arc has opened up a lot about lore and gunko and Loki have very similar pasts/origins
Both are 63,killed their father,both are connected to Imu,admired a pirate in their youth and surpassed said pirate (in strength anyways), and both have unique strange eyes with unexplained abilities,and both are why Imu even came to elbaf.
He came looking for what killed harald and he came to help out gunko/the other holy knights.
Also Lokis fruit was hyped to be something needed to take down the holy land,not Luffys.
Loki and gunko are definitely gonna be what’s sending Imu back home.
