This article contains spoilers from the One Piece series.
In the Final Saga of One pieceThe Straw Hat Pirates are now almost complete, Luffy is only looking for a select few to join the crew. At the moment, There are quite a few contenders for the last Straw Hat spotwith Princess Vivi to be one of them, and even Bonney to be thrown into the mix by Oda himself. However, the most likely candidate for this position in the Straw Hat Pirates is none other than Prince of Elbaf, Lokiwho has played a significant role in the story thus far and will continue to do so.
Say hello to the only current one-piece pirate who can defeat Ima
Imu is strong but this one pirate has the potential to defeat him in One Piece.
Of all the Straw Hat candidates out there, Loki has the most to offer the crew as a very strong fighting force, but more than that, an ally who can unite the Giants with Luffy. It is this special importance of his that will do it Loki is a key character in the Final Saga and if so he will join the crewit will take them to the next level, which is exactly what they desire if they want to conquer the sea.
With such great power, Loki would easily become the strongest Yonk in the One Piece world under Luffy.
Loki is next in line to join the Straw Hat Pirates
It's no secret at this point Loki is next in line to join the Straw Hat Pirates One piece. In the Elbaf Arc, he is built as another Straw Hat, and most importantly, Luffy himself asked Loki to join his crew.
Luffy and Loki hit it off immediately after the meeting and it goes without saying that Luffy is an excellent judge of character. If Luffy trusts Loki then he doesn't care what anyone says about him.
Hey, I'm talking to you. I am the Sun God enshrined in the legends of this land. You won't talk to me without permission, man. I consider myself the strongest living in the Lands. This is a land of war, Elbaf's kingdom of violence. The most powerful nation in the world that once lived and breathed warfare. And I am the Sun God who brings the world to an end, Loki! — Loki introduces himself in the Arc of Elbaf.
That's exactly why he asked Loki to come aboard the Sunny, and even though Loki declined the offer, fans know very well that it still remains a strong possibility going forward.
Loki's chances of joining the Straw Hat Pirates are even higher because the entire country of Elbaf absolutely despises him. He is an unwanted prince who is considered cursed by everyone, including his own family. No one really wants Loki around except Luffy, and once he's free it would make sense for him to join Luffy.
above all Loki himself declared as a child that he wanted to follow the Sun God who would destroy the world In fact, his whole reason for wanting to follow Rocks is because he believed her to be Nika. Once Loki finds out that Luffy is Nika, it makes sense that he would want to follow him in the future.
Loki has Conqueror's Haki and the Legendary Devil Fruit
As for what Loki would offer the straw pirates, incredible strength is at the top of the list. Loki is one of the strongest characters in the world of One Piece and has both Conqueror's Haki and the very powerful Devil Fruit ability.
Loki himself stated this can counter the immortality of holy knights with Conqueror's Hakiwhich is basically a confirmation of the fact that he has this ability. Moreover, the fans know it too Loki ate the legendary Devil Fruit on the day Harald died 14 years agoand this only further increases its power.
King Harald died after a vicious battle with Loki. What you see are the scars from that fight. Loki is certainly strong, but King Harald was also known as a great warrior in his own right. All this destruction was inevitable. The only surviving members in the castle that day were Chief Jarul and Loki. — Born in the battle at Aurust Castle, 14 years ago
After 7 years, Oda finally reveals Imu's true appearance in one piece
Imu's true appearance was a mystery, but Oda just revealed it in One Piece.
The only character who could defeat Loki in all his years on the seas was none other than Redhead Shanks. Loki is basically a Yonko level fighter and having him under Luffy would make the Straw Pirates the strongest crew on the seas.
Loki would instantly become the strongest Yonk commander in one piece
Undoubtedly, if Loki was supposed to join the Straw Hat Pirateshe would easily become the strongest Yonko commander that he ever existed. His power is unparalleled and the way Oda portrays him shows that even the Yonko crew would be wary of his presence.
Loki is also the prince of the giants, and if everything he's done wrong eventually comes to light, they wouldn't hesitate to rally behind him. in that sense all the Elbafian giants would then unite with the Sun god Nikaor in other words, Luffy, giving him a huge army.
