Summary
Quick Links
Gol D. Roger is the only pirate captain to have conquered the Grand Line along with his crew. Under his leadership, the Roger Pirates became a force to be reckoned with, and they did the unthinkable when they reached Laugh Tale.
Roger has appeared in several flashbacks, which have helpedOne Piecefans to understand his strength better. Unfortunately, he is still underrated by some groups.
Gol D. Roger Achieved The Impossible
Before going in depth about Roger’s power, it is important to understand his character. When Roger met Rayleigh, the latter was surprised after seeing his energy. Rogeroffered Rayleigh the chance to set sailand turn the world upside down, which was a bizarre request, especially when they had only just met. Despite the nature of his request, Rayleigh agreed to join him. It is quite possible that Rayleigh did not believe Roger, but the latter’s zealous attitude won him over.
According to Roger’s crewmates, he never shied away from battle. He welcomed any challenge with open arms, even if there was a possibility of dying.Roger was intrepid, and it didn’tmatter if his opponent was the “Strongest Man in the World” or the “Hero of the Marines.”
Roger didn’t bear any ill will towards his opponents, which likely stemmed from his childish nature. When Roger sensed Oden charging towards his crew, the future Pirate King ordered Rayleigh and Gaban to step back because he didn’t want them to get hurt. In reality, Roger wanted to fight Oden and test his strength.
I left everything I gathered together in one place. —Gol D. Roger
Roger’s other unique quality was that he did not have any pride, as evidenced by his bowing to Whitebeard. It is important to remember that Whitebeard was Roger’s biggest rival, yet he bowed before him because he wanted Oden to temporarily join the Roger Pirates.
Last but not least, Roger’s most noteworthy quality was that he desired freedom above everything else. When Shiki offered him the chance to rule the world together, Roger shot him down without hesitation. Given his qualities, it’s hardly surprising that even Roger’s biggest enemies respected him.
Gol D. Roger’s Power Was On A Different Level
Gol D. Roger became the Pirate King without a Devil Fruit, which is an incredible feat. It’s safe to say that Roger wouldn’t have managed to accomplish his goal if he had weak Haki, especially since he didn’t have any other power. Roger was able to use all three types of Haki, and he had more or less mastered them. It has been confirmed that Roger could use Advanced Conqueror’s Haki, and he could infuse it into his weapons, increasing their overall power. Roger alsoexcelled at using Armament Haki.In fact, he could damage his opponents without making contact. Roger’s skill with Observation Haki remains unknown, but it’s likely that he was able to foresee the future.
With his insanely strong Haki, Roger overcame many challenging opponents. In his heyday, only four characters came close to his strength. These were:
Roger was able to match these individuals, which is a ridiculous feat, but what makes it even more insane is that he was never at full health. Roger was diagnosed with an incurable illness, and without Crocus, he would have died. Despite being ill, Roger was able to match the strength of Whitebeard, a man who possessed all three types of Haki and themost destructive Devil Fruit in One Piece.Roger held his own against Whitebeard for three entire days, which is nothing short of incredible.
Roger Was Stronger Than Joyboy
The King Of The Pirates Has Better Feats
Joyboy was not an ordinary person. He was the first pirate in the world, and he had access to Haki and a Devil Fruit. He also has one of the best Haki feats to his name, but overall, Roger has better achievements.
Not only did Roger beat all his competition, but he did so while an illness held him back. Another thing that supports the claim is the strength of Rayleigh and Gaban. Both of these individuals have shown that theycould hang with the Yonko in their prime. So, Roger, as their captain, would have to be a cut above.
Therefore, it’s safe to say that Gol D. Roger would have easily decimated the Yonko with his skill. It’s also worth mentioning that Roger was able to fight against Shiki, who took on Garp and Sengoku at the same time. It’s also heavily implied that Garp sustained serious injuries while fighting Shiki. So, for Roger to have defeated Shiki by himself, there is a strong implication that he was above anyone else in terms of strength. Keeping all these things in mind, there is zero doubt that Roger is stronger than Joyboy.
