Loki Joining the SH....i guess the ship is gonna be a on some whitebeard shyt to accomodate the giants...makes sense since this is home of the adam tree
I was wondering how they'd fit Loki, and the main thing that popped into mind was how the library has books that can shrink or enlarge as needed. I like Loki for Nakama, and the king being a secret conspirator with the government as a theory.
The King had a summoning circle in his throne room; stopped the giants from training to defend themselves; and ran Elbaph while Mother Carmel was influential as a double-agent who trafficked kids. I think those could be more than coincidences.
Loki for Nakama mainly just comes down to Luffy trusting him and it looking like that's him next to Luffy in the mural, for now. But I'm guessing his backstory will make him a Yamato equivalent. Someone who was misunderstood, the son of the real bad guy, and someone who wound up chained and trapped until Luffy freed him.
