"One Piece" Events:
—————————
BOOM!
Once Chopper and Usopp arrived, the explosives that had been placed on the trees of Duft Green exploded, causing them to fly away due to the impact of the blast.
"Ouch... Somehow we're still alive... Wh-Where's Nami?" said Chopper in a panic.
They quickly found Nami lying on the ground weakly and ran towards her.
"Nami! Nami! Hold on!" exclaimed Chopper.
"You okay?! We're gonna get you out of here!" said Usopp, trying to pull the pillars around Nami.
"These bruises are the same ones Xiao's grandmother had."
"She needs to be treated right away," noticed Chopper the green spots on Nami's body and decided she needed urgent medical attention.
"Hm!?"
Suddenly, he and Usopp noticed a horde of monsters running toward them in the distance.
"Th-This is..." said Usopp.
"Is it what I think it is?" wondered Chopper.
"At a busy time like this..."
"We have to take Nami and run!"
They quickly took Nami and ran.
...
Without any Duft Green obstructing the way, the mutated monsters swept through the Golden Lion Palace.
"What is it?" Franky wondered about the reason for the place's vibration.
But in less than a few minutes, he found himself being chased by the familiar monsters that were wreaking havoc in the palace.
"Yohohohoho!"
"Three-Verse Humming... Arrow Notch Slash."
Brook was able to easily cut through the flying insect.
But Robin struggled against a giant butterfly, which she defeated with difficulty, but after being exposed to its toxic spray, this situation was taken advantage of by Shiki's gorilla.

Ohara:
"Nami is in critical condition, it seems like she's struggling to breathe," commented one reader inside the art store.
"No need to worry, Chopper has arrived, since he already knows about the illness from Xiao's grandmother's case, he will definitely find a way to cure Nami," replied another reader with a high spirit.
"That's if they can escape from the raging monsters! Look, many of them are coming!"
"Come on! They're everywhere, oh my god, these monsters really don't distinguish between enemies and allies."
"I can imagine the ugliness on Shiki's face right now, haha! He had the chance to remove the explosives when he discovered Nami's plan before, but he didn't remove them and just restrained Nami."
"He's a complete idiot, is he really the main villain of this arc? Why is he so stupid?"
"You're right, I find villains like Crocodile, Enel, Rob Lucci, and Moria more difficult to deal with than him."
"Seriously, we all know he's suffering from dementia!"
"A great pirate like him would be impossible for a newcomer to the Grand Line to defeat, so..."
...
Flying Island, Merveille:
"Ahchoo! I've been sneezing too much since this volume was published..." Shiki wiped the dripping mucus from his nose and looked at the manga events he had reached so far with a lukewarm expression.
"Maybe they're laughing at your unusual stupidity in the manga, Wororororo!" Kaido laughed at his pitiful ally.
"Tsk..." Shiki was annoyed by Kaido's nonsense but he bore it. "You promised me, Kaido, that you would help me remove this steering wheel from my head and heal my wounds... isn't that right?"
"Hmm? Don't worry, I have more efficient subordinates than yours," Kaido said confidently.
Shiki wanted to deny that, but he couldn't find the right words. To say the truth, Kaido was right.
"This..." Shiki became speechless when he saw the mutated animals causing chaos inside his palace.
Veins appeared on his forehead before he cursed loudly, "Damn each and every one of you, straw hats!"
"Worororororo!" Kaido couldn't stop laughing.
"It seems your end in the manga is approaching, old lion."
...
•———•———•———•———•———•
"Not good. She's just barely breathing," said Chopper urgently.
"We have to do something quickly," he added.
"Billy!" exclaimed Usopp, noticing the arrival of the electric bird.
Billy looked saddened by Nami's condition.
"The only cure for this illness is the IQ plant. Shiki took them all," explained Chopper.
"What? Where is he keeping them?" asked Usopp, looking at the massive palace.
BOOM!
Suddenly, the house they were standing on exploded.
"Ouch… H-How's Nami?" Usopp asked, concerned.
"Somehow she wasn't hurt," replied Chopper.
"Shiki!" exclaimed Usopp.
Shiki stood in the air in front of them like the god of death.
"Now you've done it, girl," Shiki said angrily.
"You want to die that badly, huh? I don't want you anymore! I'm going to crush the East Blue, no matter how hard you try to stop me."
A huge water lion appeared next to Shiki immediately after he finished speaking, followed by a second, then a third, and so on until the sixth.
"We're surrounded!" Usopp exclaimed in fear.
"Lion's Threat Imperial Earth Bind!" Shiki announced the name of his attack.
The terrifying roar of the water lions attacked the trio.
"We're screwed!" cried Usopp.
"Fall into disrepair and die!" It was clear that Shiki intended to drown them to death.
"--Crap!"
"--Dammit!"
Suddenly, the huge water lions disappeared and scattered due to fast hand attacks. A shadow of pink steam appeared in the background.
In the end, it turned out to be Luffy, standing in front of his crew like an immovable rock.
Steam rose from his body, indicating that he was in his second gear.
The expression on his face was terrifying, to say the least.
"Luffy!" exclaimed Chopper and Usopp.

Marineford:
"Bwahahahaha!"
"My angry grandson, that means your ass is gonna get beat, Golden Lion!" laughed Garp warmly before commenting.
"Do you really think Luffy will defeat Shiki without Haki, Garp?" asked Sengoku.
"Shiki's Haki is so weak that it seems nonexistent for some reason. I can see that in the manga... So what do you think he will win with, Sengoku?" said Garp.
Due to the feature of "Returning attention to art", even after being attacked by Rob's frightening attack and suffering heavy losses, where the place they were sitting was now almost completely collapsed, Sengoku and the others focused on the manga and did not care about their current situation.
So Sengoku was reading the manga and discussing its contents, ignoring his pain.
"Even if Shiki doesn't use his Haki, it will be difficult for Luffy to defeat him unless he's in Nightmare form like he used to defeat Moria... but there are no shadows to use it here," Tsuru said calmly.
"Oh, that Nightmare form was great. I wish Luffy could use it permanently... sigh~ unfortunately," Garp felt sad.
"Anyway, I bet on my grandson's victory... anyone who wants to bet otherwise, go ahead..." declared Garp.
"Huff, huff... I'll bet with you..."
Suddenly, Akainu entered the dilapidated room, walking with some difficulty while holding his severed left arm.
It turned out he was the second one to wake up after the previous setback.
"I'll bet on Shiki's victory. What are we betting on?" said Akainu convincingly.
"Bwahahahaha! We'll bet on half our possessions!" Garp announced it shockingly... It was clear that he trusted his grandson very much.
