This article contains spoilers from the Elbaf arc of One Piece.
When it comes to the world a pieceFans are well aware that Oda created it quite brilliantly. In what exists in today's world, there are legends from ancient ages, and even whole forgotten worlds sunk to the bottom of the ocean. Naturally, fans have always been heavily invested in older characters, be it 900 years ago, or 3000 years ago, or even more recently, in Roger's era.
Amongst the Navy, Oda has already revealed some legends of old such as Sengoku, and the greatest of them all, Marine Vice Admiral Garp, also known as the Hero of Legends. But at the same time, fans are also well aware that other admirals have existed in the past. now, Oda reveals one that is on the same level as RogerAlthough a little weak.
Oda initially wanted Shiki to become a sea admiral
-
Shiki was drawn alongside Sengoku in Oda's draft
-
Shiki Satan will believe in justice
The fans know Golden Lion Shiki to be One of the main villains in the a piece movies. He served as the main antagonist of the Strong World and was eventually defeated by Luffy in the Grand Line. However, many fans don't know that it was actually just a non-canon version of Shiki.
Roger, I heard you found an ancient weapon. Join forces with me! – Golden Lion Shiki
In fact, the Golden Lion was so powerful that it could even rival Roger. In fact, he became One of Roger's greatest rivals in one piece. Shiki was fiercely powerful. When he attacked Marineford after Roger's capture, Sengoku and Garp's team finally needed to stop him, and even then, he destroyed half of Marineford. Such an achievement is unprecedented, and it puts him on the same level as the legends of the world.
What is even more surprising Shiki was originally supposed to be a sea admiral. When Oda arrived with Shiki, he drew him alongside Sengoku as a sea admiral. Shiki was recently introduced as Gokudo in One Piece 1155Which refers to someone who follows a code of chivalry. In other words, this is probably what Oda originally conceived of as his sense of justice – chivalrous justice.
Shiki, my answer is no! I will never join you! – Goal de Roger
Shiki will be the Golden Lion of the Marines
Shiki could have been Roger's rival
Fans are well aware that Golden Lion, Shiki, Was once a part of Rocks Pirates. His power was absolutely incredible and Oda had already revealed it in the story. However, his character was always that of a pirate. Shiki was always cunning and clever, and if anything, he believed in the ways of pirates more than pirates.
However, if Oda actually stuck to his original plans, then, this basically confirms that he would have been Roger's rival as well. From the Marines, the only one to rival Roger is Garp, for the most part. However, in Oda's initial thoughts, Shiki was Roger's rival Also.
Oda may have dismissed the idea altogether or it may have been Shiki's past
It is very likely that the car is scrapped Shiki's idea of a sea admiral. However, it is not possible to say with certainty right now. Fans now know nothing about Shiki's past. His first appearance in the story was 56 years ago, when he appeared with a team of Rocks in Elbaf. Before that, he could still be a sea admiral who went on to become a pirate. Only Oda can give the answer.
