In the World of Pirates, Starting by Watching Roger's Execution

Indeed, Shakky was like a ghost who left no trace. Atlas had asked Sengoku for information about her, but the answer had been that no such person could be found. The Marines had no bounty on Shakky, and that raised some interesting questions.

First, there was no doubt that Shakky had once been a pirate, one who knew Rayleigh very well. She certainly wasn't young, yet the Marines had no wanted poster for her.

Even Brook, who called Roger a rookie, could be identified by the Marines after turning into a skeleton, allowing them to dig up his wanted poster from decades ago. Why, then, was there not a single lead on Shakky?

That left only one possibility—the World Government had erased every trace of her!

Hiss...

The more Atlas thought about it, the more chilling it became!

Not far from Shakky's Rip-off Bar, they found an open stretch of ground. Rayleigh and Atlas stood facing each other, tension hanging in the air.

"Young Marine, couldn't we talk this over...?"

"Is that all the nerve the Pirate King's right-hand man has?"

Atlas cut off Rayleigh's nonsense without ceremony, her piercing gaze fixed on his increasingly serious face.

"In that case..." Rayleigh's presence changed abruptly. His muscles tightened, and a cold glint flashed across the glasses on his nose. "I'll play with you for a while!"

The moment he finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet exploded. His body shot toward Atlas, almost parallel to the ground!

"Wouldn't it have been easier to do that from the start?"

Atlas scoffed and curled her fingers slightly. The once-level ground suddenly churned.

Breaking apart, compressing, solidifying—it all happened in an instant. Dozens of earthen clones identical to Atlas appeared around Rayleigh, swinging their heavy fists at him in unison!
