Teach is son of Xebec. Xebec had one of the greatest pirate crews ever, being captain of guys like WB, Shiki, and BM who rivaled Roger.
Bar Kuzan, the current BBP is shit. Shiryu and Pizarro are bums and might not even fight SHs, instead being beaten by RHP. Zoro and Sanji are all but guaranteed to leave wano stronger than either of them.
I think it’s very clear Oda is setting up Loki and Kid as the WB/Shiki of the BBP. Both hate Shanks, which would naturally make them Teach’s allies. Loki in particular even wanted to be a Rocks pirate.
Loki might genuinely be comparable in strength to Luffy, as WB was to Roger. He was a monster from birth, replicating Kaido’s feat as a literal baby. He seemingly has ACoC. And he has a legendary DF, all of which led him to claim to be the Sun God. He also seems like he will ultimately end the series on good terms with Luffy.
Given how Loki was unloved as a child, maybe he ultimately becomes a father pirate like WB was.
Kid is literally worst gen shiki. A great pirate who ultimately jobbed hard and got kicked out of the race. Similarly an amputee. Similarly has telekinetic powers. Similarly an asshole. Not much to say here.
Luffy has good relations with both of them, as well as Kuzan. This is because Teach will face a similar fate to his father. His crew will betray him in the end. But not before we get a confrontation between them, the SHs, and the RHP.
