Shiki

Shiki the Golden Lion (金獅子のシキ), is a notorious pirate who is known to be the first prisoner to have ever escaped Impel Down. He was a pirate that wreaked havoc during Roger's time and is the main antagonist of the 10th One Piece Movie. His nickname, Kinjishi, means "golden lion."

Appearance
Shiki is a pirate dressed in yellow traditional Japanese clothes. He has golden mane-like hair and on the top of his head is what appears to be part of steering wheel fashioned in a way that it looks like a top knot. Due to him cutting off his shackled legs to escape Impel Down, he has swords for prosthetic legs for which he can easily stand upon without much trouble. His overall design resembles a typical shogun.

Abilities
Shiki apparently has some sort of ability that allows him to levitate things such as ships, as well as himself, allowing flight. It is currently unknown if this is related to his Devil Fruit power or not. While he is confirmed to be a Devil Fruit user, the name and abilities of it have yet to be revealed.

Shiki is also capable of sending slashes from his sword legs in a Rankyaku like fashion.

History
Twenty years ago, Shiki was the first prisoner to escape from the great prison Impel Down. He escaped the prison by cutting off his own shackled legs. Because of this event, Sengoku states it was a serious mistake on their part to let him escape.

Trivia

 * A fan noticed Shiki being mentioned in the manga and asked Oda if the character was one and the same with the character in the movie. Oda confirmed that the two characters were one and the same, and explained more about him. Originally, Oda wanted to include Shiki to be mentioned during the meeting between Shanks and Whitebeard. He however held back because he thought it might be too much info for readers and confusing. At the time also, he did not know that the story about the pirate who caused havoc during Roger's time would be made into a movie.
 * Oda personally selected Takenaka for Shiki due to his large range of character roles.
 * Shiki will be have his first manga appearance in the upcoming "One Piece Kan-Zero". In this bonus gift from One Piece: Strong World will depict the world of One Piece from 20 years ago - in particular his fight against the Pirate King Gold Roger and it will be directly related to the plot of the movie
