"One Piece" Events:
"Still pointlessly trying, huh?" Shiki was annoyed by Luffy's arrival.
At that moment, Nami regained consciousness and opened her eyes with difficulty.
"Nami, I'm gonna beat the crap outta him and we're gonna go home," Luffy turned to Nami.
"Luffy..." Nami closed her eyes again after seeing Luffy.
"Leave him to me. Take care of Nami," Luffy gave his orders to Chopper and Usopp.
"O-Okay!" exclaimed Usopp.
"Get him, Luffy!" added Chopper.
"No matter where you go. Your fate won't change and you're all going to die," said Shiki.
Hearing this, Luffy prepared for battle and his aura rose to the sky.
"Don't you determine our fate for us!" he exclaimed.
Then in a blink of an eye, Luffy appeared in front of Shiki, "Jet Pistol!!" and punched him in the stomach until blood splattered out.
Luffy sent Shiki flying with a strong punch.
"Billy! I need your help!" Luffy relied on Billy's back to fly and fight against a flying enemy like Shiki.
"I won't let you go to the East Blue!" shouted Luffy.
After regaining his posture, Shiki said, "You're getting on my nerves. I'm not going to go easy on a man from East Blue."
"This... DAMNED GARP'S GRANDSON!!!"
"How could you make me spit blood with just one punch!? Am I too weak in the manga!?"
"This is unbelievable! The author did this on purpose! This is not me! Damn it!"
He had been patient and patient, but there were limits to patience. Finally, the Golden Lion could not bear to see such scenes in the manga!
"Where is my real power, damn it! Didn't we see how I fought with Garp and Sengoku and destroyed half of Marineford at the beginning of the volume!? Where is that power!? Why is there no trace of it here at the end of the volume!?"
Confusion filled Shiki's expression as he looked at the scene of Luffy standing with him in a necktie, even managing to send him flying with a punch.
Normally, an attack like this, no matter how fast it is, is impossible to touch him because he possesses strong Observation Haki, while the other party doesn't have it at all!
Something went wrong here... or was he not using Observation Haki!? Why?
"You've become so weak it's pathetic, Shiki-yo... I'm starting to think about defeating you and taking everything that belongs to you and ending this ridiculous alliance," Kaido spoke with mockery.
Hearing that, Shiki's forehead trembled.
Suddenly, a yellow glow exploded from his eyes with a dense halo carrying a suffocating pressure, before this suffocating pressure could make anyone faint, the art store managed to catch it and return it to its owner with heavy penalties by deducting many behavior points.
If his points reached a certain level, he would not be able to take advantage of some of the many features of the art store.
"Huh!? How long has it been since you released your Conqueror's Haki, many years have passed since I felt the real Golden Lion," Kaido chuckled, retracting everything he said earlier.
"Anyway, it seems that 20 years of not training and relaxing can weaken anyone, no matter how strong they are, that's what happened to you in the manga, Old Lion."
"That won't happen in reality, I won't let myself become weaker, I'll become stronger."
...
On board the Oro Jackson in the New World:
"Is that really the Golden Lion?" Buggy's mouth hung open in shock.
"Why do I feel like he's not much stronger than my manga version?" Buggy wondered seriously, which made everyone burst out laughing, including Roger himself.
"Hahahaha!"
"Wahahaha!"
"Hahahaha! Seriously, if the Golden Lion heard this, he would die of frustration!"
"What!? Are you making fun of Buggy? Why don't we make a bet? When Buggy reaches the current age of the Golden Lion, he will surpass him by far... He won't be like Buggy in his first appearance in the manga." Rayleigh spoke seriously after laughing for a while.
"Anyway, this is really strange. What was said in the manga about Shiki doesn't match reality... Did something happen to him in those twenty years?" Even Roger found the situation somewhat strange.
"I mean, the Golden Lion can't be this weak. Even if he becomes too old, it's impossible for Luffy to make him spit blood with a punch."
"Hmm, that's really strange, Captain. After all, this is the Golden Lion we're talking about. Just a while ago, our crews were on the same level. And he even had some advantage," Gaban said.
"Where am I in all of this... why do I have so few appearances in the manga!?" Shanks also shook his head in frustration, even as an emperor, he could count the number of times he appeared in the manga on one hand.
...
Sphinx Island:
"What's the situation with the Golden Lion? Is this the evil plan he came to tell me about before he secluded himself for 20 years?" Whitebeard's eyes contained disdain and annoyance.
"Has this man lost his dream and will because of Roger's execution? Is he that kind of man?"
Upon hearing what their father said, his sons burst into a fit of laughter.
"Hahahaha!"
"Rahahahah!"
"Chahahahah"
"Hahahaha! Your jokes are killing me, Oyaji." Marco wiped away the tears that had formed from the previous bout of laughter.
"This is not the Shiki we knew... Look, he's still being beaten by the angry Luffy."
"Ace's brother has tremendous potential, if Shiki is defeated, it will pave the way for him to become the best... I really want to take him as my son in the manga."
"Gurarararara!" Whitebeard really enjoyed the events of the manga.
"Let's see where this goes... all the signs point to your defeat, Shiki."
"Oyaji, does this mean the Golden Lion will die in the manga?" Vista wondered.
"Well, for old characters like Shiki and me, defeat means death without a doubt... if you see my death in the manga, don't be sad, my sons."
Upon hearing that, the hearts of Whitebeard's sons clenched.
"Who can defeat the strongest man in the world? Haha, what a joke." Mature Stussy laughed dryly, pressing on his hand with concern.
