"One Piece" Events:

At Moby Dick in the New World:

"How's the sea without Roger?" asked Shiki.

"The wall that blocked our way is now gone."

"It seems like this is your era, Whitebeard."

The still-young Whitebeard sat at his seat drinking a bottle of sake in the company of Shiki, who looked unusually energetic.

"If you've come here just to spout a load of crap, then I'm going to send you to the bottom of the sea, Golden Lion," replied Whitebeard.

"Jihahahaha! Good to see you're still the same old annoying geezer," laughed Shiki.

"I'm planning to go into hiding for a while, and then I'll show this lukewarm era the true terror of pirates," Shiki announced.

"Hmm?" Whitebeard got upset. "You've got some new scheme going on?"

This was not new. This is the Golden Lion he knows. Cunning, insidious, scheming, and spiteful, that's how it was and still is.

...

Flying Island Merveille:

["In the Grand Line, on the island that reaches into the clouds, Merveille..."]

"Doctor Indigo, is your research complete?"

There is no doubt that the meeting of Whitebeard and the Golden Lion has passed some time, as Shiki has already returned to his stronghold.

"I've made a discovery... It seems this island's balance is maintained by several types of flora. And these plants don't grow down on the surface..." replied Dr. Indigo.

Many monsters mutated from smaller animals appeared on the island.

"Just cut to the chase, Indigo. How many years will it take to fulfill my plan?" asked Shiki.

"Well, let's see... Ten... Fifteen... No, we can't do it any sooner than... Twenty years," replied Indigo.

"Alright. I see. The plan will commence in twenty years. I will show the world a living hell!" exclaimed Shiki.

...

..

["Then, twenty years passed..."]

•———•———•———•———•———•———•

"Hmm?" I thought Shiki was sad about my death... What about his visit to Newgate?" Roger frowned when he saw the scene of the meeting between Whitebeard and Golden Lion.

"I think he's going to announce his next move to Whitebeard, probably because he's the only person he believes deserves to know at the moment," commented Rayleigh.

"Still, what the hell is Shiki up to?" Gaban wondered.

"Just wait, we'll find out soon. That bastard's plans are a bit troublesome, but I wonder how Luffy will be able to defeat the plans of the Golden Lion after 20 years later?" Roger said.

"Dear, you don't have to worry about the Golden Lion. After all, he will eventually lose miserably. Anyway, I liked his move to attack the Navy headquarters for you," Rouge said with a smile as she massaged Roger's shoulders, who was enjoying it.

"Whahaha, he's just a fool. I wonder what his reaction will be when he finds out that I turned myself in and wasn't arrested," Roger laughed euphorically as Rouge's massage relaxed him.

"He'll feel like he ate shit, haha! Anyway, I wonder how Shakky-chan would react to her manga debut," Rayleigh's thoughts wandered elsewhere at the moment.

"Whitebeard is as decisive as usual. Even Shiki doesn't dare to go too far when talking to him-"

"It's not like that, Buggy... Shiki lost at least half of his strength by losing both legs, in addition to getting some head damage from the steering wheel accident. If he still had his full strength, he wouldn't be speaking so carefully with Newgate. You know how strong he really is," Roger interrupted him.

"Oh... maybe so."

...

The New World, Sphinx Island:

"Gurarararara!"

Inside the newly opened art store, Whitebeard's laughter suddenly resounded.

"He's Oyaji again, this time at the height of his youth! Terrific!" Marco exclaimed, excited to see his pop's majestic appearance in the manga once again.

"Look how regal our pop looks! With just one threat, the Golden Lion was intimidated!" Jozu remarked.

"The Golden Lion came to say goodbye to me. This is probably our last meeting in the manga," Whitebeard concluded, after laughing for a short while.

He then asked the beautiful woman sitting on his lap, "Would you also like to know what Shiki is planning, dear Stussy?"

"All I want to know is what you would like to have for dinner, dear," Stussy replied with a smile.

It's worth noting that this is the real 51-year-old Stussy.

Since her relationship with their pop became public, she has officially become the mother of all the Sons of Whitebeard. They now call her Miss Buckin.

"Gurararara! That's even better. Let me think about it. After all, everything you cook is delicious!"

...

Marineford:

"This is Shiki's flying island, Merveille. Seriously, what is he planning to do?" Sengoku wondered.

"What can a sick lion do? No need to worry too much, Sengoku," interrupted Garp, who was still voraciously devouring his rice crackers.

"Stop spouting nonsense, Garp! Look at the size of these monsters this bastard is raising! What does he want to use them for? What kind of plans take 20 years to start?" shouted Kong.

"..." Zephyr was still silent.

"I'm also worried. After all, this is the Golden Lion we're talking about. If he goes big and we can't repel him in the manga, the rest of our reputation will go down the drain. What do you think, Sengoku?" Tsuru commented.

"You're right, Tsuru-chan. This can't happen. I will call the Five Elders to find out the situation with Kuzan and the others and bring up this topic for discussion with them," Sengoku said.

...

Flying Island Merveille:

"Jihahahahaha!!" The evil laughter of Golden Lion Shiki resounded throughout the island.

But soon the laughter turned into loud curses.

"Damn you...! No... Fuck you! Fuck you! Sky Sword; Rodeus D. Rob!"

"Why the hell are you doing this!! Do you want to reveal my precious schemes to the world!? I haven't even perfected the planning yet!!" exclaimed Shiki.

A bitter feeling filled his heart after realizing that the precious card in his hand, the Plant of Evolution (IQ), that he had discovered long ago on his island might become public knowledge after this volume.

"How unfortunate, Wororororo!" even Kaido felt somewhat pity for his useless ally.

"Do you know what my dream is, Shiki?" Suddenly Kaido asked.

"To get hundreds of Zoan-type Devil Fruits since you dream of creating a crew full of beasts, right?" Shiki replied.

"Very soon, but that's not all. I dream of gaining access to technology that will enable me to make my own Zoan devil fruits. The plant on this island may be the key to reaching that ideal way," Kaido said.
