"What happened to you, Shiki? Do you want to die so badly?"
Standing on thin air as if on solid ground, Rob obstructed the Golden Lion's path at an altitude of 10,000 feet above sea level.
"Now, that you have taken this step, does this mean that you are willing to pay the price... by sacrificing your life?"
As soon as Rob said that, a suffocating spiritual pressure burst forth from him, causing the Golden Lion to break out in a sweat and the atmosphere to turn into a sticky swamp that made it hard to breathe.
"What is this...?!"
At that moment, the Golden Lion Shiki could see the shadow of the giant soul reaper taking the form of the suffocating halo of Rob, he even smelled the foul stench of death.
"Do you think that your aura only will scare me?"
The Golden Lion's aura also burst forth as he used his Conqueror Haki to resist Rob's terrifying spiritual pressure.
This allowed him to regain his footing in this critical situation he was forced into.
Seeing this, Rob's indifferent expression did not change. In Rob's view, the Golden Lion's fate had already been determined since he took that step. If he did not kill him, he would imprison him for the rest of his life, and the second option would be even harsher for Shiki.
"You were planning to wipe out an entire kingdom and kill thousands of its inhabitants just to vent your ridiculous anger, right?" Rob asked calmly.
"That's right! I wanted to vent my anger! Not just by killing everyone in that kingdom, but I was going to look for Shimotsuki Village, Foosha Village, Baratie Restaurant, Cocoyashi Village, and Syrup Village..."
"Jihahahahaha! I'll kill them all! You know what? I've even started to think about a detailed plan to destroy Ohara as well... No matter how long it takes me to plan it, once I'm done, there will be no Straw Hat Pirates left in this world!"
"Jihahahaha!!!"
The Golden Lion continued to laugh insanely, seeming to have completely lost it at this moment.
Rob sighed at the sight of this scene, even beginning to feel sorry for this man. Could seeing himself lose to the Straw Hats in the manga have driven him insane?
Rob moved at lightning speed and then directed a fist enveloped in Haki toward Shiki's solar plexus.
The force of the blow caused Shiki's eyes to bulge out almost to the point of falling out of their sockets, and he vomited blood.
After that, he immediately lost consciousness.
The Golden Lion, the great pirate who ruled an era, was defeated with just one blow.
"Take him, throw him into Area A of the central prison, in a solitary cell," Rob ordered, after he had descended to the sea where the Hunters' Guild ship had just arrived.
"Understood, sir."
The hunters carried the unconscious body of Shiki and shackled him with seastone handcuffs, then placed him in the ship's cell.
After that, the ship set off toward its destination, Hunters Island.
Luckily for Shiki, he did not know that his unstable mental state had allowed him to survive at least for now.
Whether he would recover or not would be revealed later.
...
..
"Cancel the Art Store, Merveille Island," Rob said calmly to his system, since Shiki was now in his grasp, there was no longer any use for the Art Store there, it would be better to place it on another island where they would need it.
Especially since there was a significant shortage of Art Stores.
[Number of Art Stores: 78/118]
[Art System Level: Level 18]
...
The New World, New Onigashima, Urura Island:
"That madman Shiki! What does he think he's doing?"
"Does he seriously want to cause chaos in the East Blue? Doesn't he know that's impossible with the literal world guard of the Hunters Guild?"
Kaido was extremely angry with his crazy ally... a week ago, when Shiki proposed to Kaido to go to the East Blue and wipe out the places where members of the Straw Hat crew will be born, Kaido refused contemptuously.
Kaido was one of the most excited for Joy Boy's appearance in this world, why would he go and kill him? Who will give him a fair and amazing battle if Luffy and his Nakama die?
Kaido tried to stop Shiki from going, but the latter was quick to fly and soon disappeared on the horizon.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the sky over Urura Island darkened, causing the angry Kaido to leave his castle and look up at the sky.
Chaos filled the place, as the Beasts Pirates panicked because of the falling islands.
In the sky above New Onigashima, the island of Merveille and the small islands around it were collapsing towards Kaido's island after Shiki lost consciousness.
"Damn you, Shiki!!!" Kaido yelled, then transformed into a giant dragon and opened his mouth, unleashing the same dragon's "Bolo Breath" repeatedly to destroy the islands that were falling on his head and the heads of his subordinates.
...
After a few days, news spread that the Golden Lion Pirates had been eradicated after their captain, the Golden Lion Shiki, launched an attack on the East Blue in order to carry out his wicked plan early.
Fortunately, his first target was the Kokyot Kingdom, which is where an art store is located.
The art store's barrier appeared just in time and protected the kingdom and its people from certain doom.
A swift and significant response led to his capture by the leader of the Hunters Guild and he was thrown into the central prison, where he will spend the rest of his life without trial.
This news caused a sigh of relief among everyone, and the World Government, currently at war with the Hunters Guild, supported this move.
...
After that, the world returned to its usual calmness, and the random pirate attacks became almost nonexistent.
Under the leadership of Galley-La Company and the Hunters Guild, a huge project began to connect the sea train network to all the islands in the first half of the Grand Line, starting from the capital of water, Water 7, where the only sky port in the paradise is located.
Rob welcomed this project when Tom came to him to discuss it and gave his seal of approval immediately.
Humans and Fishmen began a project in a smooth cooperative relationship for the first time in at least 800 years... without conflict and without any racism.
However, time passed peacefully, and finally, an important day arrived, the day of the highly anticipated anime's first episode.
The first episode of Naruto Shippuden!
The world was boiling with excitement! Finally, this wonderful anime had returned... People quickly forgot about the issue of the Golden Lion Shiki and focused their eyes on the massive screens of the art store.
Everywhere the art store was located, everyone fell silent in welcome of the first episode, which had already started its countdown.
