It is an established fact that Shadow brings technique, cause Ryuma did Hana-Uta-Sancho... However I think the base strength remains the same and since Soul King's base strength is greater than pre skip Brook (assuming), he has a better chance as in my theory, Ryuma's base power won't change (that is why he was tougher than Brook with Brook's own shadow.

As for me being back, well since I am at home for a while, I will visit here :-)
