Something underlooked in One Piece is that the Deus Ex Machina crap regarding Nika is entirely present in Blackbeard's plotline, as well.
Teach was Willed to eat the Yami Yami no Mi: it wanted it as much as he wanted it.
This is why Teach is the mirror of Luffy: Luffy stole the Fruit Shanks had stolen for Roger's son, Ace, because he was hungry.
Teach murdered Thatch because he was power-hungry.
The Nika Fruit FOUND Luffy. The Gorosei directly stated the Fruit AVOIDS THEM. The Nika Fruit is so powerful, it ALTERS THE REALITY AROUND IT TO MAKE IT GO TO WHO IT FUCKING WANTS TO.
I believe the same is true of the Yami Fruit: Teach was CHOSEN.
I believe Loki's Fruit is on Yami/Nika level: the Fruit Rocks wanted Harald to eat.
But, the Elbaph Fruit didn't want Harald; it wanted Loki.
Loki wasn't cursed by an individual.
LOKI WAS CURSED BY HIS OWN FRUIT, RESIDING IN THE SAME CASTLE AS HIM.
Estrid? Harald? Their deaths were the Will of Loki's Fruit itself. By the Demon inside it.
In most mythology, including Abrahamic mythology, which Kuma is heavily tied to (he literally has a freaking Bible), "Demons" can be good, or evil. The Demons in Abrahamic Mythology are Fallen Angels: if the "D" does mean Demon (I think it has a lot of meanings), as foreshadowed by Nico Robin, then, like with Jinn in Islam, guess what?
There are good and bad Demons.
The Demon in Loki's Fruit wants to destroy the world/rule it, so, to Loki it went, Cursing him all the while.
Like Teach was "Cursed" to murder Thatch by the Yami Fruit calling to him, telling him to do whatever it took to rule the world; Loki's Fruit.
The fool who stole Loki's Fruit? Another victim of Loki's Fruit.
"The Forbidden Devil Fruit"!
Why was it Forbidden?
IT'S FUCKING CURSED
Upon realizing Elbaph's Fruit had been stolen, Loki, who is racist to non-Giants and believes Giants from Elbaph (not even Giants, look at Hajrudin and Loki's relationship) are the superior Race in the World, killed the fool who stole the Fruit.
Finally, Loki's Fruit had what it wanted: after Estrid, Harald, and the Thief's death, Loki was confronted by Shanks/Gyaban.
Loki is strong, but this was pre-bounty/pre-New World Pirate Loki vs Prime Gyaban and a younger Shanks.
Loki ate the Fruit, and used it to escape Gyaban and Shanks. Realizing the WG Harald had sought to join had betrayed him, and not knowing of the Fruit's treachery, Loki set his sites on the same target Rocks had:
The World Government itself.
And so, the man who stopped Kaido from saving his Nakama Newgate's Son, Ace, in Marineford, grew stronger, and hunted down Loki, fearing his Cursed Fruit:
Gaimon, the Chest Beyond Abs.
I will never forgive Shanks, for taking credit for Gaimon's victory over Loki.
This freaking rat, man.
Damn Oda
"Gaimon can't join the crew, because Zoro has to be #2".
Zoro isn't even the strongest Marimo in the series.
I think EOS Zoro/Loki will surpass Gaimon D Chest, tho.
Okay, fine, it was Shanks, but, GAIMON CAN BEAT LOKI UP, OKAY???
JUST WAIT TILL HE GETS OUT OF THAT CHEST
