Let’s pray shanks don’t beat Loki otherwise it’ll be a mass exodus of deleting comments and threads.
I dont think it matters, think about the alternatives
Lets say Loki doesnt lose to Shanks but that implies he's just straight up stronger than all Yonko. Does Loki stay an ally?
- Yes? Then who are we fighting this arc? Imu is Wifi'ing through Gunko. If what is needed to fight a mind controlled woman are two deity users, only to probably get pushed out at the worst, then where is the real threat here when Loki is just that strong? How do we top Imu without just more Imu?
- No? Then is Imu DR'ing him? A DR'ed, mythical powered Loki w/ Ragnir who defeated Knight Harald gets fought by....Luffy? So then when Luffy wins, what the fuck even are Shamrock, Akainu and Teach in this story lol
Then from there you have Shanks' cunt brother acting like he could also take on Loki (maybe hes just an idiot like Garling is who knows lol), whether or not Loki is an ally this arc.
Id say the ONLY good outcome is Shanks defeating Loki fairly, because if he's not then it doesnt bode well for Shamrock, Akainu or Blackbeard being viable threats to Luffy post-Elbaf, and THAT sucks even more personally. At least Oda can scale those characters to broken levels and inflate things before Imu, but if Shanks doesnt win fairly then it makes things stupid as hell because then it just scales Luffy to retarded levels after this arc.
