One Piece: 5 Unsolved Mysteries of Gol D. Roger!

In the One Piece story, the figure of Gol D. Roger is known as the king of pirates, but there are still various mysteries surrounding this figure. Who does not know the name Gol D. Roger. He is the first pirate known to have made it to the last island, Laugh Tale, in the last 800 years.

After his success in going to Laugh Tale, Roger unfortunately decided to surrender himself to the navy. This resulted in him having to be executed. However, before his death, he opened a new era of pirates where he said that One Piece was real. What’s interesting is that Roger has several mysteries that have yet to be revealed. Anything?

His Relationship With Portgas D. Rogue

Eiichiro Oda once said that One Piece is not a manga or anime series that presents romantic moments in the story. And this has indeed been proven where in its nearly 25 years of existence, One Piece has almost never presented a romance story of its characters. There are only a few romance stories that have been presented by Oda, one of which is the relationship between Roger and Rogue.

Rogue is the wife of Roger and also the mother of Portgas D. Ace. She deliberately carried Ace long after Roger’s death, in order to avoid execution by the marines. However, sadly, Rogue died after giving birth to Ace. The big question for the fans is how their initial relationship was formed? The reason is, Roger is more often shown adventuring with his crew. Is it possible that the story is the same as Kozuki Oden and Toki? Was Roger deliberately looking for someone who was both a descendant of the D clan?

Who Trained Roger

Being a pirate king, of course, the figure of Gol D. Roger is not an ordinary character. The level of strength is certainly no joke. In fact, Roger is said to have equal strength with Whitebeard, the most powerful human in the entire world of One Piece. His strength is also recognized by Kaido, the navy, and all parties in the world of One Piece.

Roger is known to have no devil fruit powers and only relies on Haki. He was also one of the greatest swordsmen. With this extraordinary power, who then taught Roger the things he knew? Who trained his sword skills? Who taught him various Haki techniques? The fans themselves had suspected that Rayleigh had taught Roger, which was quite reasonable. However, what about his other abilities?

Roger laughs at Laugh Tale

According to Kozuki Oden’s flashback in the second half of the Wano Country arc, the name Laugh Tale appeared after Gol D. Roger and his crew managed to go there, finding the One Piece treasure. What’s interesting and mysterious is that they all laughed loudly at what was read in one of the Poneglyphs. Until now, it is still a big mystery.

Why is Roger laughing? What is Roger laughing at in the Poneglyph? Many speculations and theories that try to explain this. For example, the theory that Roger laughed knowing what happened in the lost past. He found all these things to be very funny. There are also those who speculate that the laugh was a way for him and his crew to laugh at all the “failures” that occurred due to Roger arriving too soon.

Shanks cries

After Roger returned from Laugh Tale Island, there was a moment of emotion where Shanks cried while holding Roger’s body. As Oden mentioned in his journal, he also wondered what was really going on? Why then did Shanks cry like that? The relationship between Shanks and Roger is known to be very close. Roger found Shanks when he was a baby.

At that time, Shanks was kept in a chest box in God Valley and Roger found him when they left there. Many speculations then emerged among the fans regarding the cry. For example, Shanks was sad because he had to part with Roger. There is also speculation that Shanks was sad when he learned about Roger’s health condition. However, is there anything much deeper than that?

What is Roger’s Big Dream

Apart from the various mysteries above, there is one big mystery about Roger which is also one of the biggest mysteries in the story of One Piece. The mystery is the biggest dream of Gol D. Roger. After a three-day battle on an island, Roger had revealed his big dream to Whitebeard and Kozuki Oden. And they both looked shocked and couldn’t believe what Roger was saying.

What is Roger’s big dream? Why then is this related to the discovery of One Piece? Unfortunately, until now, we still haven’t found an answer to this. What’s interesting is that what is thought to be Roger’s big dream might be similar to the big dream that Monkey D. Luffy also has. This is because the people closest to him, such as the Straw Hats and Sabo and Ace, showed the same reaction as Oden and Whitebeard.

Mystery seems to have become an integral part of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece story. There are many big questions that have arisen along the way for more than two decades. Including one of them is the various big mysteries of the figure of Gol D. Roger. With the story ending soon, maybe Oda Sensei will finally reveal all of these mysteries.
