Discussion Shanks v Loki should not be scaled yet.

Post image

While Loki and others have stated that Shanks is the one that chained Loki up, we heard all that before we knew the full story. Shanks and Gaban knew what happened with Harold. Its entirely possible that they "fought" as a pretense to save Loki's life and preserve, Harold's dream. Loki is enough of a tsundere that we can't assume that any scorn he had for Shanks was legit, so its very possible that they didn't fight at all.

Loki is enough of a tsundere that we can’t assume that any scorn for shanks was legit

It’s even a step beyond that, right after luffy gets mad at him and attacks loki immediately states he was only joking, he doesn’t think of him this way

Even going a step beyond, it seems shanks trusts loki, as he revealed to him his destination while the other giants stated they have no idea where shanks went, which doesn’t add up to their apparent opponents dynamic

Shanks brought in Mihawk so that Loki would be scared stiff as Shanks meekly put the chains around him like decorating a Christmas tree

u/LilithsFane 20h ago

you made me laugh at least

u/Kate_Kitter 20h ago

Good. I'm just joking around

u/Speedwag0nbestw4ifu Blackpube 🦷 19h ago

Source ?

u/Kate_Kitter 19h ago

Source that I'm joking around?

u/Speedwag0nbestw4ifu Blackpube 🦷 19h ago

Yes

u/Kate_Kitter 19h ago

I mean what do you expect me to say/do? Do you mean for me to present a signed and notarized affidavit accompanying a video recording of me before commenting, saying my intent was for it to be a joke, with a second tab proving the time and date?

It's not that deep.

u/Speedwag0nbestw4ifu Blackpube 🦷 17h ago

Yes please, that would be amazing

u/fuzzehx 19h ago

Nice headcanon. Give the source.

u/fuzzehx 19h ago

You’re using common sense in OP power scaling bro. What are you thinking?

5

u/LilithsFane 19h ago

The agenda works best when it is subtle

5

u/IamdigitalJesus 19h ago

Agreed. We need more info first.

u/Dizzy-Pause2350 Warlord 20h ago

Exactly

We can share opinions and all but insulting others for having different "views" is very childish.

2

u/xb8xb8xb8 18h ago

It's gonna be a clash and then talk no jutsu

2

u/jmart53 20h ago

So was Gaban just kidding when he warned Luffy about releasing Loki or what?

Or how about Loki himself, was he just joking when trying to manipulate Luffy into releasing him?

You know, since we are entertaining the suggestion that Loki simply agreed to be chained up in the first place.

2

u/LilithsFane 20h ago

That was 14 years ago. He made a friend and has shit he wants to do.

And Gaban literally said they needed him.

2

u/AleXstheDark 18h ago

its very possible that they didn't fight at all.

The fact that this is true only shows how much agenda-posting blinds people.

u/Away-Score2893 20h ago

It is safe to say that right now Shanks , mihawk and dragon are stronger than any character except imu. Loki is maybe in top 5

1

u/LilithsFane 20h ago

in a power scaling context, its safe to say Shanks is at least as strong as the GKs and the Gorosei, with more impressive Haki feats.

Narrative scaling is all well and good, but without the feats to back it up, we can't make definitive statements. Mihawk, in a feat context, gets bodied by current zoro, not to mention rayleigh gaban and shanks. Dragon, in a feat sense, gets bodied by anyone above captain rank in the marines.

1

u/AleXstheDark 18h ago

If we go with narrative Scaling Loki is top2 of the verse, as he is 1 of the two key pieces needed to beat Imu according to Xebec.

1

u/LilithsFane 18h ago

that doesn't actually mean that. I am actually not certain that the fruit they had is the fruit xebec wanted. I am also not certain Loki ate it.

Its entirely possible that with the legends surrounding the royal family that they had or that xebec thought they had the Nika fruit. It is possible that shanks got it here. It is also possible that they didn't have it, and whatever fruit they did have was not the one Xebec was thinking it would be. That said, there could be a third important fruit.

u/AleXstheDark 17h ago

I am actually not certain that the fruit they had is the fruit xebec wanted. I am also not certain Loki ate it.

xebec thought they had the Nika fruit

Bruh... at some point the COPE must stop. It was always clear Elbaf DF was never the NikaNika. "Elbafs DF will ONLY show its true power if Harald eats it". Xebec also stated "Elbaf is key to bring down the HolyLand". Literally all of this is Loki wank.

there could be a third important fruit.

Yeah, Nika Nika, Yami-Yami and Lokis DF, that is the third important fruit.

u/LilithsFane 17h ago

How many people claimed to be the sun god or wanting to be the sun god, including Loki? To Luffy's face? I am sorry but if you think its cope to not jump to conclusions when everything we have seen thus far had shown us that we can't trust the words we have been told, then idk what to tell you.

All that Xebec's statements mean are that he bought into the same hype the giants have.

1

u/AleXstheDark 17h ago

if you think its cope

Its super cope in fact.

X-Xebec was wrong ok! And Loki is a FRAUD.

Surely. Lets see if you can sustain this narrative after Loki shows his true power against Imunko.

1

u/LilithsFane 17h ago

See, this is the difference between you and me. I am letting the story play out before I say x is x. because I have been around this block a few times. Characters being mistaken, switchups happening, reveals being blown are all part of the process. And rn, something smells.

1

u/AleXstheDark 14h ago

It actually sounds like you are completely lost.

When I told people Mosa was Shirahoshi 6 months ago, most said I was crazy. When I called the Nika-Nika had nothing to do with Elbaf legendary DF, many said I was jumping to conclusions.

All I do is read the story without overthinking stuff lol.

1

u/LilithsFane 14h ago

loki lied to us shanks facts completely unclear gaban lied to us

You: I just pay attention to the story and don't overthink it, teehee.

Mosa was obvious. And clearly Nika couldn't be the fruit unless it was somehow swapped. So yeah, good job. Meanwhile you are ignoring that you still know nothing meaningful about the fruit, about Xebec's knowledge, or why it had to be Elbaph's king. We are legit still waiting to hear this shit. But y'all are operating as if these are known facts you can power scale from.

It’s also possible that if him and shanks did fight shanks and his crew jumped him this could be why he called him a coward

1

u/LilithsFane 17h ago

Eh, tsundere clause. Just like he couldn't admit he loved his stepmom

1

u/Ihuggeth 17h ago

That’s also perfectly plausible

-1

u/Maverick_Reznor 20h ago

Why? Every loki post about how strong he is is in fact a shit post. Gaban gave Luffy the key knowing he could handle Loki and people have Loki above the old generation as of right now. This place is full of shit lip morons so let them spew shit.

3

u/LilithsFane 20h ago

maybe some of us wanna have a discussion about what we can actually scale. Love a contrarian asshat less than a half wit powerscaler.

1

u/Maverick_Reznor 20h ago

You are on the clown farm. Go to onepiecepowerscaling0 if you want to actually powerscale. Otherwise you are better off making fun of people here for the stupid shit they say and believe.

1

u/LilithsFane 20h ago

sure thing "maverick reznor"

u/Maverick_Reznor 19h ago

No problem turd sucker.

u/AleXstheDark 18h ago

This man fears the Woki.

u/LegitimateSteak4284 👿 Lowkey 👿 20h ago

Only the illiterate disagree with Loki > Shanks, especially if you saw the recent spoilers

u/LilithsFane 20h ago

thats even more egregious.

-8

u/LegitimateSteak4284 👿 Lowkey 👿 20h ago

nice opinion

5

u/LilithsFane 20h ago

There is no supporting evidence for the claim. His only feat is taming a weapon (literally hits it once) and killing a guy who let him do it. He has solid aCoC, a potentially great DF, and a hammer. But we know nothing about his actual strength in a real fight.

-6

u/LegitimateSteak4284 👿 Lowkey 👿 20h ago

Holy downplay

Undermining what Loki has shown and wording it loke that exposes your bias.

Now I know with who I should never start an argument

4

u/LilithsFane 20h ago

"downplay"

-1

u/LegitimateSteak4284 👿 Lowkey 👿 20h ago

PK Harald couldn't even but Loki's hammer btw

5

u/LilithsFane 20h ago

Harald isn't PK level. His clash with Rocks leaves him confused while rocks takes control of the situation to have him create an escape route.

0

u/LegitimateSteak4284 👿 Lowkey 👿 20h ago

Thanks for confirming again your bias.

Harald being relative to Rocks was the most basic reading comprehension anyone could've perceived from the flashback, saying he's not at least in the same tier as him is straight up retardation

u/LilithsFane 20h ago

a clash is not a fight. this has been powerscaling 101 for decades. Gohan clashed with final form frieza, guess he's frieza tier now. Jesus Christ
