At Edd War, the Roger Pirates prepare to clash with Shiki and the Golden Lion Pirates. Shiki wants Roger to join him with his knowledge of an ancient weapon, but Roger refuses and eventually escapes the fight when a huge storm wipes out half of Shiki's fleet. Years later, after Roger becomes the Pirate King, Shiki discovers that he has been captured. Hearing this, he heads to Marineford, is defeated by Garp and Sengoku, and sent to Impel Down. Shiki later manages to escape and begins plotting his revenge on the island of Merveille in the Grand Line. At the same time, many of the events that take place in the current story are beginning, such as the beginning of the Red Hair Pirates and the dawn of the Golden Age of Piracy.
In the New World, at someplace in the sea, the Edd War is about to begin, Buggy freaks out at the potential conflict between the infamous pirates, and asks Crocus if Roger is well enough to fight. Crocus 'assures' him that Roger is perfectly okay. Meanwhile, Shiki asks Roger to join him, hoping to use Roger's information on the Ancient Weapons to rule the world. Roger refuses, not wanting to give up the freedom he has. A battle between the two crews ensues, and a change in the weather allows the Roger Pirates to sink half of Shiki's ships. A side-effect of the battle causes half of a steering wheel to become implanted into Shiki's head.
Legends Arrested[]
2 Years later...
After conquering the Grand Line and becoming the Pirate King, the Roger Pirates mysteriously disbanded. A year later, news gets out that the Marines have arrested Roger. Furious, Shiki attacks Marine Headquarters and is told by Sengoku and Garp that Roger will be executed in Loguetown, East Blue, as a warning to all pirates. Shiki is infuriated even more that the Pirate King will die in the weakest sea, but Garp tells him that East Blue is also the symbol of peace. A battle between the three erupts, and ends with half the city of Marineford being leveled and Shiki sent to Impel Down.
A week after Shiki's captured, Roger is executed, sparking the Golden Age of Piracy. All over the world, people have different reactions to the news.
