Questions & Mysteries How will nerfed Loki perform against Imu?

Gerd said that like 40 chapters ago, most casuals probably don’t ever remember that.
If Loki really is heavily nerfed, don’t you think we’ll get some line acknowledging that he’s still not a full capacity? If we get no such statement during the Imu fight, would you admit that Oda probably doesn’t think that Loki is still nerfed?

You mean the luffy that was knocked out sleeping for 2 weeks and than multiple days than not more bandaged?
Coping out of your mind
You will be set free when shanks dies in the most horrific way soon
Loki being injured was a big plot point before the flashback and Imcel though. It was built up like he was going to fight the SHP before falling down. It would be strange if Oda genuinely forgets that.
No, because we already have a statement lol. I don't think Loki will be nerfed after the arc is over, just within the timeframe where he was given fatal wounds very recently. Why don't you need a statement from King and Queen saying they're nerfed?

The narrative purpose of Loki’s injuries was to delay him and the M3 from going up to the Sun World and give the HKs time to fuck shit up.
Be honest, is the only reason why you’re pushing the “Loki is totally gonna be heavily nerfed against fucking Imu bro” argument is because you want to extract a confession out of me that King and Queen were fully recovered when GB destroyed them, lol?

It’s been established that Luffy can recover very quickly by eating a ton of food (presumably because of his God Fruit). Seeing as how Loki is a fellow God Fruit user, he probably functions in a similar way
We can maybe re open a Convo after Elbaf ends and if Oda never mentions the plot point again, but ATM, there's zero reason to assume Loki is suddenly in full health.
That was done to serve as an excuse for Loki and co to stay away from the Sun World for a bit, so that the HKs could cause problems and create some tension.
As with Luffy, Oda had Loki eat a comically large amount of food to quickly heal up. If I recall correctly, Oda hasn’t drawn Loki with bandages ever since he returned to the Sun World. If Loki’s still supposed to be nerfed by his injuries in Oda’s mind, don’t you think it’s kinda weird he’s not drawing Loki with bandages or injuries? I guess it could be a drawing error, but bandages are extremely easy to draw

We’ve seen guys like Zolo survive even more fatal injuries than being stabbed in the abdomen 3 times.
The narrative purpose of Loki being injured was to serve as an excuse to let the HKs run amok in the Sun World for a while before the heavy hitters returned, and also to potentially set up a future Loki vs Shamrock fight. Now that Imu himself is on Elbaf, it really doesn’t even make sense to have Loki be nerfed. Imu should logically be a step above a fully healthy Loki, seeing as how Shanks was confident that Loki would lose if he attacked the WG, and Xebec thought the Nidhogg and some other God Fruit were both necessary to beat Imu. Not to mention that Loki presumably isn’t even Awakened yet, so he’s not even at his prime yet (with Prime Loki still scaling below Imu based on Xebec’s plan and also common sense).
If Oda draws Loki with bandages or has him state he’s still feeling weakened from his injuries, then I’ll admit in a heartbeat that he’s still nerfed even though I don’t see the point of it. Until then, it seems like Oda probably just pulled the “This character ate a comically large amount of food, became a balloon, and fully recovered” gag to handwave away Loki’s injuries.
Besides, we already know that strong characters have an inhumanly fast recovery speed, and Loki is one of the strongest characters, with a top 5 Mythical Zoan on top of that, which should boost his recovery factor even more

Being nerfed by Seastone makes up for this, since it makes DF users entirely vulnerable. Ace goes from a YC level character to *completely vulnerable* to the fodder executioners. It's a plot device. Oda is emphasizing Loki's wounds as major, so it is, we don't need to overthink OP
Same with Gaban going from stronger than Gunko, to being one shot once he was vulnerable for a second. It doesn't necessarily make sense, but this happens with Oden, Roger, Garp and Shanks, so make of it what you will.
As for the broader argument, I can agree to disagree for now. I'll wait for an explicit statement to counter the one we got, but maybe at the end of Elbaf, we can open up the discussion again if Oda doesn't do anything with it.
