I'm curious what ya'll think the point of the giant double spread of Luffy inviting Loki to join the crew was if he's not joining the crew? And How ya'll think Galley Ra is getting woken up if Loki is staying on Elbaph?
Same reason Yamato was yelling about joining the crew, it’s oda engagement farming and trying to get people to talk about the manga.

Loki isn’t staying on Elbaf, but he’s not going with the sunny. He’s heading to Fishman Island to check in on his friend

Oda doesn't really need to do that though. Do you really think he wants everyone talking about the next nakama if there isn't going to be one? Is his goal to dissapoint his fans? People will talk endlessly about One Piece anyway.

Wanting to join the crew and then moving away from it was part of Yamato's arc. A poorly written arc that goes against One Piece's usual philosophy, but it is what it is. I don't see any point in making Luffy invite Loki like that, especially with him saying no at first like all the members who actually joined.

Yes? What do you think was the point of the Yamato shit? Yamato existed purely to cause discussion like that. The Loki invitation is the exact same. It’s just to drum up discussion

So you think he's setting up the idea of a new nakama just to never have payoff? How exactly does he benefit from this? One Piece is the best selling manga of all time. Do you actually believe he thinks this will impact sales? Do you think he cares deeply about making internet forums talk about something that he's never actually going to do? That's nonsense. The only reason to tease something happening is to eventually have payoff. Otherwise it's just setting people up for dissapointment on purpose for shits and giggles.

Yes? He benefits by having people talk about and drum up buzz for his manga and characters.

And even if Oda doesn’t, his editors and specifically publisher does. Online buzz and free publicity is always important.

Again this was literally the exact same thing as Yamato
