33 years ago, Shiki started forming his crew after the Rocks Pirates disbanded. Shiki, connu sous l'épithète de Shiki le Lion d'Or (金獅子のシキ, "Kinjishi no Shiki"), est le capitaine de L'Équipage du Lion d'Or, et ancien membre de L'Équipage de Rocks. He is usually seen smoking a cigar.[2]. The captain, Shiki, was one of the most infamous pirates of all time; being a previous member of the legendary Rocks Pirates, the first known person to ever escape Impel Down, and match against powerful figures such as Roger, Whitebeard, Marine Vice Admiral Garp and Admiral Sengoku. The Marines then arrived to arrest the falling pirates, but it is unknown if Shiki and his main members survived. After the two swords became his prosthetic legs, not only he has little difficulty in standing or walking while using them, he is also capable of attacking from a distance with them by sending slashes from his sword legs in a Rankyaku like fashion. He contacted the Amigo Pirates and their leaders, Largo and Corto, and offered to let them join his conference provided they retrieve the beetle for him. After hearing that Roger had been captured, Shiki shot the man who had informed him and went to Marineford on his own where he beat up several Marine soldiers. Accepting this, Shiki said that he would then carry out his plan in 20 years, and then he would show "them" hell on Earth by releasing tons of mutated animals in the world similar to Boss, declaring war with the world. Shiki was also the "first" prisoner to escape from the great prison Impel Down, by cutting off his own shackled legs and later replaced them using his own personal swords as prosthetic limbs. Having seemingly foiled her plan, he had his subordinates immobilize her with long spears and left her to die from the Daft disease she contracted during her attempt to blow away the trees. He fended off all the slashes from Zoro's Nanajuni Pound Ho with great speed and reflexes, and later another attack from Zoro's was countered in mid-air and he knocked Zoro back down to the ground with great force. The Golden Lion Pirates was a pirate crew led by Shiki the Golden Lion. Because of this event, Sengoku stated it was a serious mistake on their part to let him escape.[10][11]. He thought to himself that he would prove to the world how pirates were the rulers of the world. Il fait partie de l'ère de Gol D. Roger contre qui il a plusieurs fois livré bataille. In a later draft of Shiki, Oda drew him with the steering wheel but embedded in his head in a different position. This respect, however, does not seem to extend to the lower members of his fleet and will not hesitate to injure them if they do not live up to his expectations, as he was seen shooting one of them in a leg simply because he informed him of Roger's capture; he also shot one of his navigators for his incapability in forecasting weather conditions. However, Luffy appeared in Gear Second and started fighting him with the help of Billy. The ship of the Golden Lion Pirates is unique in appearance as it is a mass of land kept afloat by Shiki's powers, with high trees as masts and long oars rowing at its sides. Tous les deux ont également des prothèses remarquables, Shiki ayant deux épées pour remplacer ses pieds et Zephyr un énorme bras mécanique. He also combines his sword skills with his Fuwa Fuwa no Mi, such as slashing open a body of water and then levitating it to drown his opponents. He wreaked havoc on the seas during Roger's time and is the main antagonist of the tenth One Piece movie.
