In the fight between Roger and Shiki ya gotta remember that it happened before Roger became the Pirate King, I doubt he was monsterously strong to begin with. Plus Shiki had his fleet with him, what was it, 51 ships? Roger only had 1.

Plus like its mentioned above, Shiki underestimated Luffy, all he did in the end was float there thinking Luffy was going to be struck by lightning and fall. By the time he realised that wasn't going happen it was too late, seriously Gigant Thor Axe was strong enough to almost destroy the island underneath them, and Shiki got hit by it head on. I'm not sure there's many people who can get hit by an attack like that and walk away smiling.
