i didnt read other comments so this could already be stated. Gol D. Roger had more influence and reputation. The navy was trying to make an example out of him and as a warning to other pirates. Shiki wasnt killed cause he for one wasn't seen or heard of for 200 years or so and didnt have the influence or reputation as Roger
