For Shiki, shooting down two F-15 fighter jets was hardly worth mentioning.
The planes of this world might have been incredibly fast, but their attack methods were still quite limited.
Count them up, and there were only three: cannons, missiles, and aerial bombs.
Aerial bombs could only be used to bombard ground targets.
And his Float-Float Fruit ability was exceptionally effective against cannons and missiles.

As for the remaining E-3 AWACS aircraft, Shiki had naturally noticed it as well.
But seeing that it had no intention of attacking him, he left it alone and continued flying toward Kadena Air Base.
Once he arrived, the scene described earlier unfolded.
Shiki released four Den Den Mushi with base plates attached and slowly descended amid the howling wind.
All of it took place under the "watchful gaze" of the E-3 AWACS aircraft.
And when he was just over two thousand meters above the ground—
Kadena Air Base below had already sounded its piercing alarms.
Large numbers of pilots and staff hurried out of every building and facility.
Before long, F-15 fighter jets lined up along the two 3,700-meter runways.
