Why are some Loanwords written in kanji in certain manga?

In One Piece for example I've noticed that the word Log Pose is written as 記録指針{きろくししん} with ログポーズ as furigana. Why does Log Pose have it's own kanji despite being a loanword? I believe I've seen a similar case in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga but I cannot recall which word.
