This article contains spoilers for One Piece.

Chapter 1156 of *One Piece* was released a little while back during a break in the series, and it featured a lot of exciting characters, including some fans have been hoping to see for a long time.

The One Piece story is presently centered around Loki’s past, and because Loki greatly admires Rocks, he’s playing a significant role in these flashbacks. Oda has also introduced other powerful figures from that time, including Garp and Roger, as well as other members of the Rocks Pirates. While only a few could truly compete with Rocks himself, it seems some of them actually were a match for him.

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

Fans of the series know that Shiki’s rival was Silver Axe, a fact confirmed in the manga. Silver Axe is depicted as a massive, powerful opponent who was a match for Shiki, the Golden Lion. Their long-standing rivalry is a key part of the story, and Oda intentionally built up Silver Axe’s legend during the flashback arc to further emphasize Shiki’s own impressive reputation.

What’s the risk of Shiki doing here? — Pirates on the Pirate Island

Silver Axe was a truly intimidating pirate, strong enough to explore Pirate Island on his own. He’s known for carrying a huge axe and is physically much larger than Shiki. His clothing suggests he shares a similar background with Shiki, possibly connected to the Yakuza. While his fighting skills remain largely unknown, many believe that as a rival to Shiki, he was likely at the level of the Four Emperors. Ultimately, Silver Axe met his end, though the details of his death are unclear.

Shiki Rivaled Roger At One Point

Silver Axe and Shiki Should Be Comparable

Shiki is a legendary figure well-known to One Piece fans. Before he was captured, he was considered one of the most powerful pirates in the New World, often compared to Gol D. Roger. While not *quite* as strong as Roger himself, Shiki was on a similar level of power. He was also one of the three strongest members of the infamous Rocks Pirates.

Following the events at God Valley, Shiki rose to command the Golden Lion Pirates, becoming the captain of the most powerful fleet on the Grand Line. If someone like Silver Axe could challenge Shiki, it logically means Silver Axe possesses a power level comparable to that of Roger.

Both Shiki And Silver Axe Are Weaker Than Roger

Although Shiki and Silver Axe are considered as strong as Roger, he’s demonstrably more powerful. Roger’s only real rivals are Whitebeard and Garp – everyone else falls short, including Shiki and Silver Axe. That said, Silver Axe is incredibly strong, reaching Yonko-level, which makes him indirectly comparable to even the Pirate King – a really impressive feat.

The next chapter of One Piece, Chapter 1163, will be released in two weeks on Sunday, October 26th. While it becomes available in Japan at midnight local time on Monday, most international fans will be able to read it starting October 26th. You can read the chapter for free on Manga Plus.
