She soaked up the fear of control from people all over the world. After signing a deal with the World Government and creating The Black Order, she absorbed another share of people's fear of her. Her power had become very strong, and her control was even enough to affect Golden Lion, who was badly hurt.
But she wasn't sad about this. She was just a little short...
Of being able to control the Float-Float Fruit power that leaked out when Golden Lion died!
The Sword of Thunder in his hand was slowly fading away. This weapon made by the God of Thunder was no worse than the famous swords among pirates.
And in front of him was Golden Lion Shiki, who he had already controlled.
She wasn't surprised that she couldn't force someone of that level to be controlled. It's just that when Shiki died, Makima saw his Float-Float Fruit as it came loose.
Makima wanted to control that Devil Fruit, but it got away by a hair.
But...
It doesn't matter.
She's in a high position of power now. She can just use the power of The Black Order to find a Devil Fruit for the current Shiki.
If he still had the Devil Fruit power, she could have let him keep living on the sea with his original identity. But since he doesn't have the Devil Fruit anymore, there's no need for that.
Next, Shiki, like the God of Thunder, will throw away his old name, wear a mask, and become Makima's loyal puppet.
Once he has the power to change his appearance, he can take off the mask and live on.
Also, Shiki's golden hair is too obvious...
But there's no such thing as loyalty or disloyalty with a puppet.
"The sea will be much quieter from now on."
Makima turned around and looked at the sea and sky in the distance. The reason she was able to find Shiki's hideout so quickly was because of her power of control.
Don't even talk about this small area. Even if it were ten or a hundred times bigger, Shiki couldn't escape her sight.
Makima has the power to listen to other people's conversations from a great distance. In the Chainsaw Man world, she can even listen across several countries.
Even powerful Devil Hunters and devils have to write down what they want to say to keep Makima from hearing it.
Shiki had no idea that Makima had this power, so it was only natural that she caught him.
Makima took back the two Shikon Jewel pieces in her hand. Then she slowly disappeared from the island.
......
And at the moment that Golden Lion Shiki died...
On the earlier battlefield, Roger, Garp and Zephyr were still facing off.
When they broke through the clouds, Shiki and Toguro had already disappeared. Both sides were almost exhausted at this point. Garp and Zephyr wanted to take down Roger while they had the chance, but Roger's ship had already arrived.
Seeing Rayleigh and Gaban, Garp and Zephyr exchanged a look, knowing that it would be hard to catch him.
The Marines' fleet had been destroyed. They couldn't keep chasing him with Moon Walk, or they'd die of exhaustion.
They didn't get the Shikon Jewel pieces, didn't catch Golden Lion, and their whole fleet sank. But at least they took down the Kraken.
Even though Kong and the people above him definitely wouldn't be happy, Garp thought it was fine.
"It's too bad the pieces must have been taken by Shiki," Roger said with some regret as he got back on his ship.
This was also Garp and Zephyr's regret. If they had to choose, they would have rather Roger taken the pieces. Shiki was too ambitious.
But as they were feeling sorry, they suddenly saw the island in the sky, Shiki's base. The huge island that he had taken into the air with the Float-Float Fruit suddenly seemed to lose the power that was keeping it up and came crashing down from the sky!
"..."
Some of Shiki's men were still there. Some were struggling in the water, and some were still on the main island. At that moment, they all stared wide-eyed, because the huge island suddenly fell from the sky.
Even Roger and the Marines were shocked, because if a huge island like that fell, it would probably create a huge wave. Shiki's hideout was on it. What happened to make him give up his base?
Did he think he didn't need his old home anymore after getting the Shikon Jewel pieces?
In the next moment, they were all shocked.
Because suddenly, a man's loud voice rang out from the falling island.
"Shiki... Shiki's Life Card has turned to ashes!"
Boom!
The island sank into the sea, creating huge waves. But these waves were nothing compared to the shock that rose in the hearts of the people on the sea.
Shiki...
His Life Card turned to ashes?
When was the last time they heard that?
Roger looked at Garp and saw that Garp was looking at him too.
The last time something like this happened, they were there too. That was the battle at God Valley. When Rocks died completely, everyone on the island was saying, 'Captain Rocks's Life Card has burned to nothing.'
How long has it been?
In just a few months, another powerful man on the sea has died?
Shiki had been under Rocks for a long time in the past, but no one doubted his power. After leaving Rocks's ship, his power became even stronger as his true nature was set free.
But before he could create a career, he has already died on this sea.
"Shiki..."
Roger said the name of his enemy, who he had fought earlier, in a deep voice. Even though he was an enemy, he was an evenly matched enemy that he respected. They had been fiercely fighting for the pieces just a few minutes ago, and now they were apart...
He's already dead?
Who...?
Who did it?!
"How could they do something like that! It's awful!" Roger shouted on his ship, even shaking the clouds in the sky.
Shiki had just gone through a big battle. Only Roger, who had also been badly hurt, knew how much power he had used up. If he hadn't used up so much power, how could Shiki have died so quietly?
He used his Observation Haki to cover the area, but found nothing...
"Enough, Roger." Rayleigh stood behind Roger, cutting him off.
Rayleigh looked into the distance and said softly, "The enemy has the power to quickly kill a badly hurt Shiki. Do you think you're in much better shape than Shiki right now?"
