Sengoku and Garp led a large contingent of Marine soldiers to launch an assault on the island of Wilmeio.

However, the Golden Lion Shiki, paid no attention to the advancing Marines. His focus was solely on Roja.

Just as when he had once rampaged through Marineford alone, Shiki felt an unbearable itch—an unshakable desire to crush Roja immediately.

With an overwhelming surge of sword energy, Shiki launched a barrage of devastating attacks toward his adversary.

Using the Chicken Talisman, Roja floated effortlessly to the side, evading the devastating slashes. The ground beneath him quaked as the attacks landed, leaving massive scars in the terrain.

Shiki's aura flared as his golden mane flowed wildly in the wind, and his kimono billowed like a battle flag. His bloodshot eyes glared at Roja with feral intensity.

"You dare to call me weak?! Why don't you stop running and face me head-on!" Shiki roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield.

"And this time, let's see how you dodge!"

Shiki's murderous rage erupted, his presence akin to a beast on the brink of madness.

"Lion's Thousand Cut Fury!"

This was an enhanced version of his signature attack, unleashing countless slashes that carried enough force to cleave mountains. Shiki became the center of a storm of devastation, with sword energy tearing through everything in its path.

Even the advancing Marines were caught in the chaos.

"Sengoku, the mystery man seems to be retreating," said Garp, assessing the situation.

Sengoku frowned and gave his orders without hesitation. "Aokiji, Garp, now is our chance! While Shiki has his hands full, we will encircle and capture both of them. This time, neither the Golden Lion nor that man can escape!"

"Yes, Fleet Admiral!" Garp replied casually, adding with a grin, "But you'd better treat me to some senbei after this."

Both Aokiji and Garp moved with lightning speed, disappearing from sight with a sharp "Shave!" as they closed the gap toward the raging battle.

Meanwhile, Sengoku prayed silently, knowing the stakes. "This time, we must succeed!" Roja's ability to float, paired with his strength, made him a menace if left unchecked.

Aokiji acted first, using his "Ice Block: Partisan" technique to conjure ice spears that intercepted Shiki's erratic slashes.

Garp, ever the brute, smashed through incoming attacks with his Haki-imbued fists.

"Iron Fist!" he roared, reducing one slash after another to harmless wisps of energy.

Sengoku, in his Buddha Form—the mythical Zoan power of the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Buddha—protected the Marines with his radiant shock waves, obliterating the remnants of Shiki's attack.

But above it all, Roja floated, dodging the chaos with eerie calm, thanks to the Chicken Talisman.

Shiki glanced briefly at the Marine trio, his lips curling into a deranged grin. "Jihahahaha! Fine, let this stage be my triumphant return to the world!"

Dark clouds gathered above the battlefield, thick with malice and electricity. The winds howled as the storm formed under Shiki's control.

"Lion's Might: Great Sky Scroll!"

The clouds, crackling with arcs of lightning, shaped themselves into the form of a colossal lion's head. With a furious gesture, Shiki directed the storm down toward Roja.

The sheer destructive force of the attack forced Aokiji, Garp, and Sengoku to retreat momentarily.

Sengoku's face darkened as he realized what had occurred. "Shiki's abilities… they've awakened!"

Garp smirked, folding his arms. "Let's see how that guy handles it," he said with a chuckle.

Aokiji, however, frowned deeply. "He'll handle it," he murmured. Memories of Roja's power during the O'Hara incident made his blood run cold.

As if to affirm Aokiji's words, Roja rose higher into the sky. His cloak billowed in the tempest as he tilted his head slightly, gripping his wide-brimmed hat against the wind.

"Why does everything have to be so troublesome?" Roja muttered calmly.

A sharp sword chant pierced the battlefield, silencing even Shiki's roaring storm.

The intensity of Roja's aura surged, filling the air with crushing pressure—a domineering Haki so overwhelming it bordered on terrifying.

Shiki's eyes widened in disbelief. "This... this can't be!"

Roja unsheathed his blade, Ryūjin Jakka, its fiery edge glimmering with unimaginable heat.

"Hell's Inferno."

As his words fell, columns of fire erupted around Roja, painting the battlefield in a blinding blaze.

The Marines were forced to retreat, Sengoku shouting, "Fall back!"

Roja swung his sword in a graceful arc. Flames and sword energy merged, distorting the air itself as their combined power ripped through Shiki's storm.

The flaming strike collided with Shiki's Great Sky Scroll, and for a moment, the battlefield was swallowed by light and silence.

Then, the skies erupted in chaos.

The lion-shaped storm was utterly consumed, its dark clouds evaporating into nothingness under the intense heat. Even the golden lion's lightning was swallowed whole, leaving Shiki staring in utter disbelief.

Roja's attack didn't falter. The flames surged forward, roaring toward Shiki with an unstoppable momentum.
