And no I'm not trolling, we literally saw straight out of the womb Loki tear the head off a grizzy bear lol. Now compare this to 60% of the crew who don't even have basic haki and you see the issue?
Trolling is saying SanJuan scales above commander level and would take Loki to anything higher than a low diff. Like if you think he's joining and you need a proper match-up, just say Kuzan lol. That's at least a valid argument.

The whole monster trio thing was reinforced this very arc.
Just a few chapters ago.
People really think oda did that just to immediately break it by having look join.
Why does nakama debates make people so stupid?
Oda also said Whitebeard was the strongest man in the world. He uses semantics to exaggerate exposition for certain characters. But im sure you're aware of this. Loki being hyped as no one could stop him is supposed to establish him a handful. But to imply Gaban couldn t defeat if he even wanted to is a disingenuous statement because it has implications that there's that much of a gap between Old Gaban and Shanks is hilarious.
Why didn't Oda have him out right state directly he couldn't beat him when he tried or a "not even me" would have done it.
I think the most straight forward interpretation narratively is that Shanks is impartial since he has no ties to Elbaf outside of Gaban himself so he can assert himself against Loki without guilt.
Ya'll keep dodging a big elephant in the room. Why is Gaban egging Loki's freedom? If only Shanks (who's gone) can stop him? This is even b4 God Knight showed up he was instigating his freedom.
My guy, I dont care about your hypotheticals and assumptions. I want actual evidence that was stated or shown in the manga or other valid sources.
Gaban himself said that nobody could stop Loki and it took Shanks to swoop in. Gaban tried stopping Luffy from freeing Loki until he was sure Luffy was up to the task. Gaban himself vouched for Loki's strength. Your assumptions without the slightest evidence that imply Gaban stood back and allowed Loki to rampage throughout his home and endanger his family and friends is silly.
Using strength feats isn't an accurate assessment of a characters qualification for the crew. Jinbe was seen as stronger than Luffy and the wings for his entire recruitment.
Luffy asking in a joking and a serious as well as intrigued manner are not created equal. We should get this established here so there's no misunderstanding. Are you saying it is?

Im at the point where I don't think the weakling Trio will show any significant haki until climax of the final battle or some post story wrap up. So youre free to use that but with what we've seen from the Elders and God Knights, Luffy and co. will need more fire power in the immediate ranks to even out. But haki in the new world is such a common thing now, I think using who has haki and who doesn't feels like a pre time skip thing, but have at it.
I believe Oda will mix up the BB vs SH outside of Luffy, Zoro and Ussop match up. I dont think Loki fights him imo.
Loki is a top tier above Old Gaban, something Zoro and especially Sanji, isn't.

My guy, nowhere is it directly stated Gaban couldn't stop Loki or anyone else In the world for that matter. That is your comprehension of his statement just like my own. So I guess we're at a standstill?
Its very telling you're only responding to certain things. Why is Gaban instigating his freedom if his family would be in danger?
Gaban thought the idea of Loki getting free was a bad idea and explained it was because Loki rampaged 6 years ago and it took Shanks to stop him. The moment he was sure Luffy(and his crew cause of Zoro) could handle Loki, Gaban let them go. How else is anyone supposed to take that? Lol
And the argument that Loki needs to join for firepower falls apart when you acknowledge the fact that Luffy has allies, and always had allies in big battles. Even top officers of the big bad fell to non-SHs, and we've seen their forces take losses before the big battle. Unless some believe the SHs are gonna fight alone for some reason?
He didn't tho? Jinbei didn't actually join until Onigashima when Luffy was definitively above him and Zoro and Sanji were getting power ups that would do the same in the same arc.
Zoro and Sanji are not getting the power ups required to upsurge Loki in a single arc. In the past I would have said just Zoro would surpass him, but since we're supposed to treat the wings as equals then it applies to both of them.
Hajrudin will not let Loki go, unless he is with Luffy. Gaban then told Hajrudin to release Loki to Luffy.
There was nothing funny/gag any where when luffy asked Loki to join!!
Like you guys ignoring what is already shown in the manga, even right after luffy said the invite.
gaban is giving Hajrudin more reason to give Loki to Luffy only.
Like Hajrudin is even seen observing Luffy interest in his younger brother.
You honestly think Hajrudin or gaban gonna be ok with Loki running off on his own after elbaf. Luffy already sounded dissapointed when hajrudin told him no. Luffy not gonna let loki go off on his own unless he on his crew.
