Reborn

Throughout Heaven & Earth,I alone am d Honored One
Because he'd be much stronger than him and the whole concept of being second in command would be lost. You wouldn't even be able to call Zoro #2 in good faith without doing mental gymnastics (Loki is injured ect)

Now

If Zoro gaining the ability the ability to control his CoC unlocked a massive power-up that put him definitively in top tier bracket and above Loki. Then Zoro's position wouldn't be in jeopardy. The problem at that point would be Sanji. Sanji going from YC2 to top tier is insanity, and basically confirms everybody that's CoC less is worthless.
That's the issue with perspective and not with character and narrative.

First mate has two meanings

1) in narrowest term, one who was first to join - Zoro, Rayleigh

2) who is second in command - which implies person who is trusted, loyal and can command the crew in captain's absence. Strength is an attribute of it but not a necessity.

It's more of a rank in the crew

The Right hand man of Luffy implies Zoro is the second strongest in much more direct way.

Oda clearly distinguish between the two...




Now, Zoro is already in high high tier if not top tier. He's knocking on top tier door already. And, he will get into this tier for sure this arc.

Only contention is Sanji and Loki's size....out of which size issue can be addressed easily so we are left with just one problem - sanji.


But I prefer to focus on multiple points which suggest Loki can join than one sole point which indicates he might not.

Not only the first to join, the narrowest clearly implies that Rayleigh was the second strongest after Roger.
That was the point for Zoro too, he was also be said to be the strongest after his captain.
Right in Elbaph we saw arguments where the pirateking wings been based on their powerlvl:


Wings are based on powerlevel.
Zoro and Sanji are based on powerlevel.
What if Loki joins now? He destroy that part, the wings would lose the meaning because a guy joined, who is far stronger than them.

And one simple logic fail you guys have:
"The powerlvl doesn´t matter because Zoro and Sanji gonna get stronger".
Yes they get stronger at each new island, but what is about Loki?
He wont get stronger? He will stay his current lvl(which is probably already the EoS lvl of Sanji and Zoro or pretty close to it)?
Wont he became stronger? Every strawhat improve, that is the key part of the crew. They all getting stronger.

Loki wont join mate.

That part is not really true
We are about to enter the final arc (we already enter the final saga already) and Brook for example didnt receive one power up. And jimbos fat ass will probally neither till EoS from the point he joined
So its not impossible
Same was true for the likes for robin pre-ts till end and she was there since end of alabasta

Now the counter argument would be that Loki is strong so he gonna fight and so on but people said the same shit about jimbo
 
Do you guys already read the last chapter? The part that Small Loki smiled when Rock said they want the world? Who else want the world and also the direct pararel ? Blackbeard! If there are still people who genuinely believe loki want to join strawhat adter this are set themself for dissapointment.
 
Carrot should've joined the Strawhats fr.

It should be
  1. Luffy -- Captain
  2. Zoro -- Master Swordsman
  3. Nami -- Navigator
  4. Usopp -- Sniper
  5. Sanji -- Cook
  6. Chopper -- Doctor
  7. Robin -- Archaeologist
  8. Franky -- Shipwright
  9. Brook -- Musician
  10. Jinbe -- Helmsman
  11. Carrot -- Scout
  12. Yamato -- Log Keeper
Yamato should join after having concluded her pilgrimage with the decision to let go of Oden and to live her own life as an adventurer of the sea and a proud crewmate of the Pirate King.

Loki wont join mate.
See if he's basically on par with EOS Zoro and Sanji then who in the literal fuck does he fight on Blackbeard's crew?

Nobody wants to answer that truthfully without trying to upscale SanJuan :rolaugh:

Loki didn't threaten to kill Luffy when he asked. Unless you're talking about when they first met and not when Luffy invited him, in which case we're going back to the old "but Franky beat up Ussop" argument.
My point was less so "Loki is a bad guy so he can't join" and more "Loki straight up doesn't like the kid and Luffy hasn't really done anything to change that".

To me Loki screams ally. Somebody who doesn't respect Luffy enough to work under him, but will show up in the finale to basically pay him back.

I can ignore the size issue because we don't know what his fruit does, and in mythology he's a shapeshifter. But I can't ignore is all the crazy feats he's doing as a baby. Big Mom was doing stuff like that at 5. I don't see it honestly.

Honestly would much rather have Carrot at this point than Loki. No cap :vistalaugh:

Him fighting San Juan is the biggest argument tbh.

Because i dont know if this is a anti sanji thing or people geniuenly believe this but they are alot of people in this forum that reject that Dorry and Broggy could fight Zoro and Sanji cause it would not work because of size. So if San Juan truely would be a SH opponent those people might argue for that :Shadow_Unimpressed:
