Regardless of whether Loki joins or not I doubt he ever gets the Jimbe treatment.
He's the same ilk of character as the wings so he will never get left behind.
Though in his case, it's actually the M3 in general that need to catch up to him
.
Seeing how Oda's moving with Sanji though, I'm not worried
In addition to Sanji and Zoro being Nika's Shield and Sword respectively. Loki can be his chariot. Already been foreshadowed btw

Somebody should dig up all the "Sanji will never get coc / is not coc material" threads 
Look, I'm all for Waban greatness, but an encounter which ends with one side being ultimately fine and claiming that their opponent is impressive for losing just a mere limb to an attack of theirs (not an ultimate attack or anything like that) can't get classified as embarrassing no matter how you slice it.
You are both on extremes.
Old Gaban's showing was just the 1st taste of "Imu isn't invincible". It's an extremely common trope for these "big strong baddies" that are out of reach currently for the heroes.
Think like this:
Imu 1st appearance nuking everyone is like Tai Lung escaping the prison.
Imu vs Luffy/Loki initially, is like Tai Lung vs the Furious 5.
Imu vs Old Gaban is like Tai Lung vs Shifu, which is the fight that Tai Lung actually struggles a bit before absolutely dominating (going into his 2nd form). It is meant to show that this enemy is formidable, but not invincible.
We wont get our Tai Lung vs Po yet, because this isn't when Imu gets defeated for good, but he will be driven away, so you kinda can say we will. We have both hybrid Loki+Luffy coming back. Luffy may not care about the world's lore, but it doesn't stop the world lore from happening. Nika is a god revered in Elbaph and its been a plot point since the beginning here. the whole god of destruction/liberation dichotomy, etc.
So, the "old man" tax exists. Oda LOVES his "old gen" characters. Gaban would always have a good showing against Imu, especially because he's currently much more proficient in ACoC than Luffy, and we were told already Haoshoku Haki is the nemesis to Omen/Maki.
It's like Gaban "defeated" Gear 2nd, but Imu immediately gets up and goes gear 4th instead.
There's nothing "contradicting" itself here. It's a perfectly normal and cliche shounen battle progression against big baddie.

The guy that since he come here has been nerf and destroying everyone .
Taking attacks that would fuck up everyone else in the world .
Has Gaban begging luffy to run and he know the true history .
People saying empty hype dude already did more crazy shit than most villain have done and nerf.
No one else fighting Luffy , Loki and Gaban and still look fine after everything .
