This article contains spoilers for One Piece.
One Piece chapter 1156 dropped quite a while ago in the midst of Oda's breaks, and it certainly did show quite a lot of exciting characters to the fans, some of which fans had been wanting to see in the main story for quite a while now.
New Gen Shonen Manga Officially Returns To Beat One Piece
One Piece is the best-selling manga ever, but it was bested by this one big returning series.
As is quite clear already, the One Piece story is currently focusing on the Loki flashback, and given that Loki idolizes Rocks, it is clear that he'd be heavily involved, once again. At the same time, however, Oda has now also revealed other big shots of the era, such as Garp and Roger, along with other members of the Rocks crew. That said, only a handful could hold their own against Rocks, and what's even more shocking is that some certainly did.
Silver Axe Is Shiki's Rival in One Piece
- Silver Axe Is One Of New World's Most Dangerous Pirates
- Silver Axe Is a Notorious Pirate
When it comes to the Identity of Shiki's Rival, fans know very well that it was none other than Silver Axe. This was explicitly stated within the manga. It was quite clear to see that Silver Axe is a huge guy who could even match Shiki, the Golden Lion. For years, these two shared a rivalry, otherwise, Oda wouldn't go out of his way to establish yet another legend surrounding Shiki in the flashback.
What's the risk of Shiki doing here? — Pirates on the Pirate Island
It is said that Silver Axe was quite fearsome, enough to wander around the Pirate Island by himself. He seems to be carrying a giant axe, and in terms of appearance, he is absolutely massive, likely bigger than Shiki. His outfit seems to suggest that he's from the same place as Shiki, as both seem to be designed with the Yakuza in mind. Fans don't know much about his combat ability, but if he's Shiki's rival, then he's surely Yonko-level. At some point, through one way or another, Silver Axe died.
Shiki Rivaled Roger At One Point
Silver Axe and Shiki Should Be Comparable
Coming over to Shiki, fans know very well about his legend. He was seen as one of the biggest pirates in the New World before his capture, strong enough to be compared to even Roger. Of course, Shiki wasn't as strong as Roger, but he was in the same tier. Within the Rocks Pirates, he was among the three strongest.
One Piece: Oda Officially Confirms Zoro's New Haki Power Up
Zoro has a new power-up in store in One Piece, and it all has to do with Haki.
After the God Valley Incident, Shiki crested the Golden Lion Armada, making him the captain of the greatest fleet on the Grand Line. If such a guy was rivaled by Silver Axe, then, by default, Silver Axe is also someone who rivals Roger in power.
Both Shiki And Silver Axe Are Weaker Than Roger
While Shiki and Silver Axe are in the same tier as Roger, it cannot be clearer that he's stronger than both of them. Roger’s only true equals are Whitebeard and Garp. All the others ended up being inferior, and that includes both Shiki and Silver Axe. Still, for what it's worth, Silver Axe is a Yonko-tier pirate, indirectly comparable to even the Pirate King, which is truly very cool.
