Shiki should be wayyy lower for numerous reasons:

1. In his generation, Impel Down prolly had lesser defenses as the ones they have now (and possibly thanks to him, it increased the number og guards)

2. He commanded the largest pirate fleet, that doesnt EXACTLY make him a powerful person.

3. I know some of you are gonna complain/hate this but even Luffy was able to defeat him as opposed to him fighting Garp and Sengoku (though the former was defeated only cause Luffy was his grandson). I think if Luffy matched fists with Roger(if he was still alive) or Whitebeard, he would be beatn down towards the verge of death.

If anything, Shiki should take the number 10-11 spot.

Sorry for the ranting, even though its your opinion but there has been a lot of people going around saying Shiki is extremely powerful.
