Probably, but I don't think its an unreasonable standard really. Fujitora and Aramaki were top tiers fucking around in shitholes in the blues.
Plus, I don't even really mind Loki being a pirate that much, but to cuck him as hard as Loda did? Why do we even need Imu in this arc anyway?
Imu arriving in the arc like Kuma did in thriller bark would have maybe been cool, but what's the point of having Imu probably take an L here?
