DOUBLE FLASHBACK 
What did you think of this week's chapter?
No break next week! 
Oh man I've been waiting for this backstory!
If Loki joins the Strawhats, how is he gonna fit on the Sunny? Has there been a Shrink-Shrink fruit introduced yet?

I smiled so hard when luffy asked Loki to join his crew just so that hajrudin would be out-captained by luffy since hes subordinate to him in the straw hat grand fleet.
I think Loki will join luffy in the end as king of elbaph since he looks like our tortured princess of this arc.
Loki is for sure joining the crew in some way or another, but I said the same thing about Yamato. Maybe he takes over the Giant Pirates and Haj takes the throne to unite the giant nations?
I don't think Loki will be in the main cast since we are already one arc into the final saga. That last spot has to be left for Vivi ATP.
I never understood people thinking yamato would join the crew after Jinbe officially joined in onigashima. Yamato would disrupt the power dynamics of the straw hats too much and would possibly make arcs hard to write around.
I def see the giant pirates making a comeback since this chapter mentioned their backstory as the most terrifying force on the seas even above the world govt.
Absolutely wild chapter. I'm thinking Loki ends up being a pretty good guy by the end of his backstory. Double flashback is insane cookery, Harald is a menace. There's a potential for a chapter 1 retcon here as well; shanks has a tattoo on the arm he loses to the sea king that matches Sommers armband in his gods knights uniform. Could be coincidence, could be shanks lost abyss privileges on purpose. Time will tell, but pretty crazy to get new info on the arm that goes in romance dawn.
It's even crazier that it would mean Shanks went to become a God's Knight after being on Rogers' crew. It really makes his actions so far even more questionable.
Shanks wanted to protect slavers for a little bit as a learning exercise.
My estimation of buggy as a man just increased hundred fold.
The big nose makes it easier to smell rats
Did they find the One Piece yet?
Not yet, thanks for checking in!
Its right around the corner
Rat-haired shanks stocks are so back.
I really wonder what the forbidden elbaf devil fruit is. I don't think it's the nika fruit though, but it could very well be it.
Oda is ready to go wild with this flashback which are my favorite parts of one piece since Oda can go all out on the feels and the world building.
Rocks did nothing wrong and they killed him for it smh
I'm not sold shanks being some rat. But I'm piqued by his arm being intact in the flashback.
I think earlier one of the giants said Loki stole the forbidden devil fruit but that could be a lie because we don't know the truth of the incident yet.
Also great sanji panel. Gaban really humbling zoro.
We are really getting a harald flashblack huh. I was really looking forward luffy and co arriving at the scene to meet imu. I guess that can wait now. Also R.I.P Rocks I guess.
