I'm not disagreeing on the Loki > Shamrock take.
But I think Shamrock might effectively be (much) stronger than it might seem right now.
1) There's too much focus on the actual regen part of the seal, but regen or that "immortality" quirk also means endless stamina, right?
And it gives a physical zenkai boost aswell, while he's probably a top tier swordsman in "base" already.
-> Might lead to top of the verse physical movement speed + unlimited stamina.
2) Shanks seems to have incredible, top of the verse talent/affinity for CoC. It might be a Twins thing.
3) Summoing the Cerberus out of the sword is probably the most generic stuff of that ability concept. What if he can fuse with that beast or he has a demon form himself similar to the Gorosei, one that fits him well/keeps his humanoid shape tho. Like when characters in OPM eat monster cells.
4) Oda decided to shit on the former top of the verse officially with Loki. I think we now have much more leeway in speculating potential powerlevels, because final saga characters aren't really capped anymore. Oda officially opened pandora's box.
Hence it's imo not impossible anymore for Shamrock to end up a demon form boosted, speedblitzing Shanks twin haki god. I'd have never assumed that Shamrock could be > WB or Roger for example. Now I actually think it might end up being the case.
So it might not have been fake confidence or cockiness towards Loki and even if he's not stronger, he might give him a good fight.
-> All of that is why I also think Sabo <(<) Shamrock is likely going to be the case.
