And what injuries he does take he seemingly healed by the mid point of the chapter.
While only getting hit like....twice. one of those being the hit at the start of the chapter, and the other being the one at the END, with him blocking or dodging everything else relatively easily. Like, he got sent flying by the big combo attack, recovered, Loki came in swinging repeatedly, he dodges. Luffy comes in? He counters with Omen bombs and blocks Luffy's attack. Then blocks even harder to the point Luffy hurts HIMSELF. Then follows up and slaps Luffy through a tree (or embeds him into it?). Then Loki tries to launch a big attack (which doesn't seem like it would do much on its own), and Luffy jumps into it to try to get extra force or something to punch through/sneak past Imu's defence and land another hit.
And 99.99% that won't do much either. He really doesn't look that bad, its just optics because of how strong we think he should logically be, and how Oda probably shouldn't be letting people get hits on him like that.....even if only the strongest characters are doing ANYTHING useful and Imu just heals straight away, it LOOKS bad, even if on paper its not.
