"Dead? Shiki is dead?"
A startled cry suddenly rang out through the crowd, jolting everyone from their daze.
The legendary pirate Shiki the Golden Lion had actually been defeated before everyone's eyes.
And he had lost to Thunder Dragon Laxus, the so-called Marine supernova.

"And since you're Devil Fruit users, I'd advise you not to get too close to our captain. Otherwise, you'll regret it."
Seeing the meaningful smile on Burgess's face, Akainu's expression instantly
