Speculations Did Shanks become a Yonko defeating Loki?

Seems that way. It's quite possible Loki also had a meaningful territory that was taken over by Shanks.

My preference/headcanon is Shiki one of the original Four Emperor and lost his seat to Shanks in some epic pirate war, but that's not really possible if Shiki disappeared after Impel Down. At least not with him still being an Emperor.

Maybe Shiki's seat was vacated and Shanks and Loki's fight determined who would fill it.

It makes no sense for shanks to be able to defeat someone like loki tbh.

Full power loki >> Base loki > Ragnir > Base harald = Base Xebec = Prime WB > Old WSM WB > Shanks should be the scaling. Let's see how oda goes about it.

Someone must have had the title beforehand. Oda doesn't like to change the number of groups whether Shichibukai, Gorosei or Yonko.

It could've been some ex-Rox, but the fact that it happened the same year as Loki being chained is curious.

I think Gaban was the one who killed Shiki because he is wearing his coat in the current story

I doubt Loki had a territory but beating him was still a very notable feat worthy of making Shanks the fourth emperor.

Hot take: there were only three "emperors" before Shanks became one.
Loki would have needed territory for the sake of having a reliable place to eat and rest. Can’t be too many of those outside of Elbaph.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of Shanks’ weak allies used to be gophers for Loki that had to pay tribute.
