There’s alot of discussion on whether or not Loki will join the crew. Personally I think it’d be badass and really cool if he did but there are admittedly some problems
- He’s too big and he'd eat too much
- He’s way too injured
- Elbaf might need protection
- We got vegapunk on the island that could potentially give him something to make him smaller or make the ship bigger
- It’s one piece have him sleep and eat for a week and he might be good like Luffy
- If Loki leaves the island still has Gaban and now vegapunk and Bonney
Jinbe joining as a representative of FMI ain’t too bad but if Yamato really does end up joining instead of Momonosuke then yeah maybe Loki really does need to stay in elbaf
For better or worse there is a lot of evidence of Yamato joining
If Loki doesn’t join then what about the giants stuck in punk hazard? Maybe he lends Luffy or if oda decides to go even crazier lends Usopp ragnir. That way they’d be able to unfreeze them without him physically being there. Plus even without ragnir Loki is still a monster. He’d probably end up using his father’s sword if anything
Again not that I’m even against Loki joining but if he doesn’t I imagine we’d still need ragnir. He could be another Zeus like joining where he’s technically part of the crew but not really recognized much again for better or worse. Even funnier if he ends up being the “pet” with chopper finally upgrading
