General & Others Rocks didn't cared about Young Loki, but he personally requested WB to make Kaido join him?

And I said it's not a big deal. Nearly all top tiers has ridiculous Childhood.
Look at Bigmom , Oden. Both were considered physical monsters.

Imo BB and Shanks type don't exist on the same scale as Kaidou , Bigmom and Oden.



It's the same source. If you knew the sources you were using to claim " 15 yo shanks "
:kayneshrug:
Atleast knows your sources. Nowhere it says 15 yo.
Bro SBS is a valid source, idk why you have issue with that.
15 year old Shanks is based on assumption that Roger Pirates disbanded around that time and hence Shanks being able to show his talent would not be possible, it might even be earlier. Again the point is you dont mention something like that if it is not impressive. Its somewhat similar to Ray being included in the CoC blast at FMI comparison or Kaido being included in answer about strength or Akainu being mentioned as finishing OP in one year. Those are legit hype statements from the author.
Why should I discredit SBS as a source when Zoros family tree is revealed in it. Or how GB and Fuji backstories or Fuji having a SG sword are mentioned there too?

@Kōri no kokyū I tried searching for the Oda Q&A and I apologize that I thought it was from SBS. This special Oda Q&A was not part of SBS I think. And there is no timeline attached to the question and answer, I was basing my opinion on what had become generally accepted fact that Shanks copied Kamusari while he was with Roger Pirates and nobody else could do it and everybody was surprised that Shanks did it. Maybe some Shanks fans can share the full context and raws @Red Admiral @GalaxyLevelShanks etc.

Whatever you have quoted are from Oda , Q and A.
Not SBS , Q&A.

Greenbull and Fujitora Backstory was revealed in SBS Q and A , after Egghead Vivre card.

Your shanks Kamasuri stuff is from Interview and magazines etc Q&A.

Yeah thanks for the link, I also came across the same but didnt know how accurate it was and how some of the context was added. The problem from me is not the source since these are literal authors words.
From what you shared a whole different interpretation comes to mind which makes no mention of Shanks copying DD at 15 years old age. Rather it was a move that Shanks imitated because he was impressed by Roger and remembered it. He probably developed it later when he got ACoC. Also the not anyone part makes it sound like that it was not a Shanks exclusive thing but others could copy it (probably Ray and Oden).

5yo BM was scouted by Marine
Yet 10 yo giant age big Loki was kicked by Rocks
Colon is such a bum like his dad
The Marines are part of an organisation that effectively controls the planet. They can afford to invest in long term payoffs. The Marines can afford to train a promising cadet until their maturity. A pirate crew can't, they need a serious fighter tomorrow, not in a decade.

Even then, a 5 year old human will still reach their potential faster than a Giant ever could. Linlin's gonna be an adult in a little over a decade there. Meanwhile Loki is going to need another 3 to 4 decades to mature after meeting Rocks.

Don't marines have a giant faction under them?

John the giant who clashed with WB in marineford was smuggled by Carmel only.

If Luffy can reach Yonko level by 19, by giant age Loki should
That makes human age 38




Loki was around 10 giant age by then, Rocks simply didn't see any potential

Kaido on other hand didn't had the DF too

In 10 chronological years, Rocks still has a child Loki and will continue to have one for at least another decade. In less than half that time, he has a fully adult Kaido.

Sub-adult Kaido to Adult Kaido in 3-4 years is far more worthwhile than Child Loki to Adult Loki in 20-30 years.

Are you understanding this yet?

Potential isn't of interest if you likely aren't going to live long enough to see it due to high risk occupation. Rocks fell at God Valley only a couple years after meeting Loki. Lol.

My point being , even with your long term payoffs off analysis. They still took John D giant.
There should be no problem with taking in Loki either.

Same for xebec , he didn't know he would go down that quick.
He could have taken Loki in like Kaidou.
Read my post again. Carefully this time.

I said that the Marines can afford to take in a Giant and that Rocks can't because the former is part of a globe spanning empire and the latter is one group of pirates on a boat.

Marines can afford long term investments, pirate crews roaming around on a boat can't.

Meanwhile whitebeard Growing kids into Yonkou Commander.
There's no reason to take Kaidou either , a 15 yo kaidou would be taken out in CoC blast right away among top tier like Roger Garp xebec.

Pirates can totally do that , Roger was on time bomb due to his illness.
Bigmom grew her kids into Yonkou Commanders.
Also even Roger took in apprentice like Shanks and Buggy which gave a yonkou later on.

Pirates do that often. Nobody enters the sea thinking they will be done in 3 years.

Hell even Kaidou took in young King.

I understand the point of view of Marines planning for long term but Bigmom/Kaidou both wanted giants / Ancient giants.
