According to Enma merchants

 

[The DevilMaster]

Imu's second form destroyed Loki to the point where he was brought to his knees, and his third form one-shotted him.

It's basically like, "Bro, let me show you just how fucked you really are."

There's no trail of destruction or anything like that. The first panel shows Imu's transformation. He literally transformed into that form at that very moment and attacked.

Doesn’t work because Imu told us he was pushed to form 3. So 2 didn’t “destroy” him.

Well, if you think that being down on your knees, collapsed on the ground, while your opponent is only transforming because he's on a time limit and wants to finish things quickly, doesn't count as getting destroyed, then I don't know what does.
Base Loki + Dragon Loki vs. Base Imu = Quickly impaled by Imu.

Hybrid Loki vs. Hybrid Imu (second form) = Hybrid Loki got absolutely destroyed, to the point of falling to his knees, and then got ONE-SHOTTED by Imu in his third form.

EVERYTHING LEADS US TO BELIEVE THAT REGARDLESS OF WHICH FORM IMU WAS IN, HE HAD THE UPPER HAND THE ENTIRE TIME.

I really cant grasp why Oda decided to off panel that shit. Is he in such a rush with time or just saving their arsenal for later future arc/s ???

Also Loki is knocked down not defeated, Hajrudin made that clear, we could actually see more ( I am getting strong deja vu typing this ).

Probably doesn't want to reveal too much. After all, this is just an Imu preview, the same time Kuzan got one by beating up Luffy and Blackbeard got an off-screen one by destroying the Evil Drum Kingdom.

Whatever we see from Imu in this arc, it will be nowhere close to Imu's full power. Especially since Oda had implied that it is dangerous for Imu to stay in the outside world for too long.
