That's nothing new, quite frankly. Luffy should have lost to two warlords (Crocodile and Moria) but he had to win because he's the main character. That was the main factor as to why he won; he had plot protection. It's not like he was superior to them in overall fighting power.

Also, who says that Shiki has to lose? For someone of his stature, it would be a refreshing end if he and Luffy part ways acknowledging and respecting each other as worthy pirates. Luffy's primary objective is to rescue Nami. He doesn't necessarily have to defeat the antagonist to do that.
