With the worldwide broadcast of Sky Live footage, audiences from every corner of the globe were drawn into the unfolding events in mere moments.
They grasped the essence of the horror and the enigmatic origins of Shiki!
Many had merely heard whispers of Shiki's fearsome reputation without truly comprehending the extent of his deeds.
His audacity knew no bounds, as he once single-handedly challenged the might of every navy force stationed at the Navy Headquarters!
Witnessing the images, it became clear that for Roger, Shiki brazenly infiltrated the Navy Headquarters, standing alone against the relentless tide of navy forces!
Moreover, he engaged in combat with two formidable enemies, Garp and Sengoku!
The viewers stood in awe. Such a battle was beyond comprehension!
Despite Shiki's ultimate defeat and subsequent imprisonment within Impel Down, his actions wrought unprecedented havoc upon the Navy Headquarters!
Indeed, he stands as the first to achieve such a feat!
Countless spectators and prominent figures couldn't help but be moved by his exploits.
Truly, he was a legendary pirate, once rumored to rival Roger, the Pirate King!
To think that he could inflict such devastation by venturing alone into the heart of the Navy headquarters.
It's simply unimaginable for ordinary individuals!
As the footage continues, the narrative unfolds.
[Despite his defeat at the hands of Garp and Sengoku, Shiki was incarcerated within Impel Down City.]
[Yet, he harbored no intention of languishing in captivity indefinitely.]
[He bided his time, awaiting an opportunity for escape, which came to fruition with Roger's ultimate demise!]
[Upon learning of the Pirate King's demise at the hands of the Navy Headquarters, Shiki was consumed by fury!]
[In a bold act of defiance, he severed his own legs, which were forged from seastone and bound by fetters!]
[In his quest for freedom, he sacrificed his own limbs!]
[Using his two renowned swords as makeshift limbs, he fashioned them into prosthetic legs!]
[With his formidable strength, he successfully fled Impel Down City.]
[Thus, he etched his name into history as the first inmate to successfully escape from the Navy Headquarters' most impregnable prison.]
[No one knows where Shiki has gone, so the Navy Headquarters will mobilize all its forces to hunt him down.]
[However, no matter where they searched, there was still no trace of Shiki.]
[In the end, for the sake of the face of the Navy Headquarters and not to cause turmoil in the world,]
[They had no choice but to block the news and let the world mistakenly believe that]
[Shiki has always been imprisoned in Impel Down City in the Navy Headquarters]
As these scenes were broadcast... countless viewers around the world were shocked, and they looked at the sky stupidly.
Shiki actually escaped from Impel Down City a few years ago?
Unbelievable!
The Navy Headquarters concealed this news for so long just to maintain order!
But now, with the live broadcast, the truth was revealed to the whole world, evoking a myriad of complex emotions in viewers!
Some cheered and admired Shiki for his formidable strength and audacity!
Others were filled with worry and fear at the thought of such a notorious pirate being at large, fearing the chaos he might bring upon the world!
Of course, the most significant reaction came from within the Navy itself.
"Damn it, this is infuriating!"
"After all these years of concealing the truth, it's all laid bare with this live broadcast?"
"What was the point of our secrecy then?"
"Are we just a laughingstock now?"
Sengoku was seething with anger, pounding the table and fuming. Yet Garp, beside him, remained unfazed.
To him, the Navy's reputation mattered little compared to the impending clash between his grandson and Shiki.
As Sengoku vented his frustration, Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu huddled together, brainstorming a solution.
Blocking the news again was out of the question. Instead, they devised a new plan...
They would leverage the live broadcast to track down Shiki's whereabouts!
Despite numerous attempts to locate him after his escape from Impel Down, the Navy had failed to apprehend him. Now, with this unexpected turn of events, they saw an opportunity to finally corner him.
However, since this live broadcast could potentially reveal the news of his escape from the advance, it would also disclose his current whereabouts!
Once his exact location is known, the Navy Headquarters could swiftly deploy a substantial force.
To re-apprehend him and confine him within Impel Down City!
This action wouldn't just wipe away the disgrace of being the first prisoner to successfully escape in Navy Headquarters history!
It would also enable his re-arrest, resolving a significant predicament…
[After Shiki broke free from Impel Down, he sought refuge on an island teeming with unique flora and fauna!]
[He discovered that the creatures and plants here exhibited extreme agitation and continued to evolve, a phenomenon of great peculiarity!]
[So, alongside a few trusted subordinates, he devised plans to continuously study and enhance the island's biodiversity, leveraging it as the backbone of his pirate crew.]
[Utilizing his own abilities, he levitated the entire island into the sky, transforming it into a floating sanctuary!]
[He meticulously concealed his whereabouts, biding his time for his triumphant return on this secluded island!]
[Even now, Shiki refuses to abandon his ambition for world domination!]
[He intends to seize the moment of his resurgence, marking the point of his complete reign over the world!]
[His plan entails unleashing the myriad flora and fauna he has studied for countless years, wreaking havoc upon the world!]
[His primary target: Roger's homeland, the East Blue!]
[Not only does he aspire to conquer the world, but he also aims to unveil the fruits of his years-long research to the world!]
[Moreover, he yearns to exhibit his vengeance upon the World Government!]
As the live broadcast played, in this pivotal moment, not only the Navy Headquarters, but the entire world—Everyone was left in shock!
It was revealed that he had been concealing himself on an island floating in the sky!
Witnessing this, a sudden realization dawned upon everyone: the fruit possessed by Shiki is indeed the Float-Float Fruit.
With its power to levitate all manner of objects, it was astounding to discover that Shiki had mastered the fruit to such an extent that he could elevate even an entire island into the skies.
However, what truly sent shivers down everyone's spine was Shiki's nefarious plan to bring about the world's destruction!
Having covertly cultivated creatures and flora capable of inducing madness on this secluded island, the prospect of unleashing these horrors upon the seas filled all with dread.
One could only imagine the chaos that would ensue in both the East Blue and across the globe if such a catastrophe were to come to pass...
Truly, he is deserving of his reputation as the Pirate King's equal!
Truly, he is deserving of his former status as a renowned pirate of great repute!
After lurking in the shadows for so many years, his ambition to dominate the world and bring ruin upon the seas has now come to light!
It is nothing short of chilling and terrifying!
