I feel like Loki would have looked a lot cooler if his head was actually dragon shaped. Or at least choosing a better dragon design for his upperbody.
I actually think this may be Oda’s way of showing that Loki’s mastery of his fruit is still not high. Saturn for example didn’t have a traditional hybrid at all, and the same with Imu. It’s like they are truly merging with their fruits.

Maybe this is Oda’s way of showing that Loki does not have awakening/does not have that great of a mastery over his fruit.
 
The thing is, how large do you think is Elbaf? Let's say Imu's final transformation towers all over Elbaf, what would it mean? His size itself would easily have the theoretical power to wipe out entire continents with an attack considering that Bajrang Gun destroyed land mass worth of 10 Onigashimas at least.

Also, I get the continent - multi continent OP top tier scaling but how are they small planet level again?
there 2 ways to scale, 1 scale it to our universe which means attack are actually far stronger than in One Piece itself. or scale the Manga logic

Bajran Gun with the speed it has would easily destroy smal planats in real life

Overall solid chapter, worth the hype. Removing 1 star just because I wanted more wings focus before we get back to Loki-Luffy fest, but overall I am quite impressed with what we got.
Loki's hybrid also reminds me of X Drake, but I am fine with both?
Imu's 3rd form is my favourite out of what we saw by now.
Monke form of Luffy is actually kinda fun.

And of course Sanji panels are great imo, Black Leg Sanji actually has a Black CoC-coated leg, happy to see that!

I will try to colour Pudding for my new avi. She looks cute in glasses, and the cover overall is quite cute, with Charlotte siblings having some light-hearted fun.
 
Oda always makes sure to draw the characters to be recognisable, otherwise you'd have Elbaf mountains being 3x of Loki's size at best which is extremely inaccurate.

It isn't just Road's room. Everything is gigantified in Elbaf. Simple plants, trees, rocks, etc. One of the Elbaf ships can easily contain dozens of giants and it is just some small point in this country.

Look, the Elbaf ship Zoro slightly cracked before with his CoC:


See how small it looks in comparison to the spot they are at rn, let alone the entire country.
Dragon Loki carried several giants on his back and they looked like ants in comparison. His dragon spikes look like mountains itself...
the ship is smal island size btw, it was as big as a island with a village on it
 
Imu’s first form = Base Luffy
Imu’s second form = Luffy Gear 4
Imu’s third form = Luffy Gear 5

This must be his fruit’s awakening, given that the trees around him are affected by his power.

I suspect Imu likely has at least two more forms: a Zoan form tied to Mariejoa, and a final, awakened hybrid form.
 
O
Of Alabasta, what small ass Elbaf have to do with huge ass Alabasta?
its not alabaster its narrative and scaling overall, Elbaf is seen as this big island. vaster than life basically.
it makes no sense that something like Wano would be bigger than this. its simply Oda being not consistent with scaling. the first thing we saw in elbaf was a large forrest area and we find out its just inside a hous and Giants play with them like puppets.
 
As much as Imu looks intimidating and looking super strong, it is still not a good sign for him
Yet he made his debut, became punching bag and admitting he is at his limit, while he is supposed to be at very top of One Piece's powerlevel

Neither Acnologia nor Aizen got clowned like this on their first arc
He is looking strong and beating hybrid Loki, but still it is not looking good
Powercreep will also hit him soon
All imus hype would go down the drain if apeshit Luffy makes third form Imu look like a joke
