Shanks being wanked doesn't mean he's above every single character, though, I never understood this.
While it's true that Oda glazes Shanks a lot, at the end of the day he still puts multiple characters on the level of or even above Shanks.
Big Mom, Kaido, and Oldbeard were all seen as relative to Shanks. Mihawk is confirmed to be above Shanks. Xebec is above Shanks. Harald is above Shanks.
So on, and so forth.
Shanks doesn't NEED to be as strong as some people believe he is, because that's not the focus of his character. He doesn't NEED to be above Loki, you just personally think he is above him.
Nothing suggests Oda will break his established scaling just to glaze Shanks as much as possible. The only time he had Shanks embarrass another top tier was for a movie promo, and even then Aramaki said he just "wasn't ready to fight them then", implying he'd probably fight Shanks another time if he could.
Never said Shanks is above every single character, I'm not even a Shanks fan, I'm simply stating the obvious. Moreover you didn't address any of the points I made in my prior post.

Again story telling-wise going forward what is the bloody point of dragging or downplaying Shanks feats for a potential ally/nakama in Loki?

By your logic Loki > Holy Knight Harald > Xebec, Roger, WB > Mihawk > Shanks (please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)
If this is the case and Shanks "child of destiny", "Oda's self-insert", "mr-perfect" is where you rank him. This very Shanks who is being built up as the ultimate nemesis of Teach who in turn is Luffy's ultimate nemesis in the same breath as Imu even after beating Shanks is going to be weaker or at best comparable to Loki who was introduced several arcs prior. Does that make any sense to you?
 
Sure, he seems to be very strong but just not on the level of Kaido and BM. He would put up a good fight though.
I beg to differ:

- advCoC at 16;
- did what Kaido did but as a toddler;
-mutant ancient giant (>> Oni or simply BM being a freak);
- mythical Ancient weapon alone as strong as a top tier;
- super mythical fruit of which Kaido's was the discount version;
- at 16 fought at least on par with HK, and DR Xebec (Harald's peer) took both 40 YO Roger and Garp.

Kaido and BM maybe have a shot in 2vs1
 
It seems to me that Imu only has a Single Ability which is Abyss Portal,
When used Smartly (In the hands of a Scientist), it allows for all Powers we've seen Imu Perform such as Transformation, Regeneration, Teleportation, Mind Control, Connected Hosts, Contract, Telepathy ... etc

If Abyss Bridge is inspired by Bifrost then Harald's Death wasn't in vain, as it's said that in Ragnarok, Giants will cross Bifrost Bridge to fight against Gods, and it will happen when the bridge no longer prevents Non-Gods from crossing it, (And we have Killingham to Play Role of Heimdall and blow Horn declaring Start of Ragnarok)

Harald's Abyss Portal will be used to enter Mary Geoise which I believe is Next Arc.
