Gol D. Rogers crew/nakama

[kaguyanas]

hey ya
i think shanks the red head might have known roger somehow.
i think he became interested in pirates the same way luffy did.
rogers inspired shanks n shanks did the same 4 luffy
roger-shanks
shanks-luffy
n in the beginning shanks did say that the strawhat was luck n all
i think the hat belonged to rogers
when they finally show shanks (not just a few panels) he will reveal that
n that luffy is related to roger (perhaps grandson).
also in the beginning shanks knew luffy wud become big...i doubt his was juz guessing

also i wonder why Saul the giant was also named D. its hard to imagine a connection between him n the D. family.

In the Hilruk flashback Dalton speaks of when he met Vivi (bibi, bebe, whatever -it's the swedish name, don't know the official) First they spoke of Dragon being some kind of revolution man. Since Vivi was about 18 when she were with the SH and 10 at the meeting there was only 8 years since he was mentioned. If he was with Roger I think he would have been more known, and not mentioned like that. Just thinking some.

Edit: But if Kureha was a member and she hasn't been captured, that kinda breaks everything I said.

I think The D. refers to some sort of ancient bloodline perhaps something having to do with the civilization that existed before the 100yr gap in history. And since that bloodline has dispersed since that gap it would make sense that both normal( if you can call them normal XD) people and giants... ect. would all have the D. initial.
And maybe just maybe nico olivia did travel with roger, It's either that or Roger himself, or one of his crew knew how to translate the poneglyphs, remember at the time the oharaans translated the poneglyphs it was already a crime so concivably someone else had already done it and been punished.

 

[kaguyanas]

i think anti-panda's rite about the ancient bloodline
but i think it may be WITHIN the missing 100 years
they cud be survivers from the country that the oharan dude mentioned
so if roger is a decendent of a surviver from the lost country who made the poneglyphs
he prolly cud read the text.
luffy never really looked at the text, he may have been near it, but never cared for it.

Olivia may also be a decent of them because her and Nico can read it with easy.
maybe they just removed D. or something

the thing I love about Oda is that he's written the exact plot and how the whole one piece story is gonna play out before ever publishing the first manga. By doing so he can fix things in early episodes of the series to relate to the later episodes in the series. That is why its so ingenious to see these relations which are most likely very true. He can set up the time frame exactly for every character so it all makes sense and so far everything I've seen in one piece makes sense in terms of the relations between characters. So having dragon and dr kurhei and olivia being part of rogers crew is actually very likely. Thats why I like one piece alot, some of the other mangas seem to be dragging on, sometimes with no real plot or the plot seems to run in circles. And like at points it seems like they just added a subplot just to continue with the manga. dragonball z is an excellent example. still loved the show but ye one peice is pretty awesome.

Luffy = Roger (relationship is still on debate)
Chopper = Dr. Kureha (former student and mentor)
Nami = Dragon (I don't know what kind of relationship with Nami, perhaps just sailing abilities)
Franky = Tom (I count Franky as a SH, as the shipwright)
Robin = Olivia (archeologist, assuming Olivia is with Roger before)
Zoro = ???
Sanji = ???
Usopp = ???

Zoro ==> Mihawk

Mihawk probably another Roger's nakama candidiate, he is Shicibukai
means he is an ex- pirates and also have former bounty
that means he wasn't come from government background
he also allies with Shanks, they duel not because they are enemy
while also Shanks also told him about the new D (Luffy) and he also got interested.
when Luffy got 100M bounty he didn't have any attention to hunt Luffy while he just saying... "you have got too much attention from world gov"

He is fearful not because he is a true criminal but because of his power (similar like Zoro itself)

Sanji -> Zeff

 

[Anti-panda]

there is no relation between gol D roger and zeff .. zeff was captain of his own ship. he then lost his leg saving sanji and became a chef.
Plus if gol did trade his life for that of his crew I'm sure the world govt would not allow any of them to continue being pirates. (speculatively)

I'm pretty sure Gold Roger had a huge fleet. Right?

what makes you say that?

 

[white silver]

what makes you say that?

I don't know since Whitebeard has a huge fleet, why not Gold D. Roger?

 

[The Boff]

yeah its certainly possible. but considering that when Gol D. was alive the whole piracy wasnt as popular as it is now. i mean he is the one that created the pirate era. so it could have been hard to get people to join your crew back then. but its still a smart bet on that he had a fleet. but personally im hoping for a little crew. 10-ish members, just like someone else i know

 

[gans88]

He says that becase it explains how zeff could be part of his crew under and could have been the leader of 1 section of his fleet. But I dunno about that.

zeff in rogers crew? there is absolutely nothing that points to that. what do you base this theory on?

Hmmm... interesting. But, there was nothing pointing to that. Plus, like Boff said, it's not a piracy era that time. And when he was captured, he was alone. Don't you think that being a nakama to a great pirate, will ends up with execution too?

I have a conspiracy theory about that
Maybe Whitebeard's crew was once Roger's crew. It is weird that a pirate group has 2 division and sail different routes. And if Roger is a pirate king, he should not fall that easily unless there was an inside job that made it easy. Plus, with the this thing of Whitebeard being the closest man to One Piece, gives a hint that he is "near" because former Roger's crew knows where it is. Well, if the One Piece is at an unknown location, how does the people say that he is the nearest man to One Piece?

And possible people like Kureha or Flowerman(the lighthouse man), they were not betraying Roger, and thus don't team up with Whitebeard. Maybe it is the Will of D Kureha was talking about. And the people who said about the Will of D are almost all if not all are possible candidates for Roger's crew.

wow couldn't agree more. Its possible that everyone in the crew had the initials "D" to signify that they were part of the same crew. So its unlikely that they were born with it but earned it. We'll probably learn more about the "will of D" later on. And if ur theory is true then that brings the point about how could luffy be a "will of D" when he wasn't part of the crew?? this could be easily explained by the fact that he's rogers son or something. But cool theory.

 

[The Boff]

totally impossible. luffy is what? 17-18? Roger died 21 years ago... for how long was the mother pregnant? j/k :P

true. I guess rogers gonna have to be luffy's grandfather then. lol

 

[Anti-panda]

Well considering how Luffy reacts to the idea of the Pirate king Gol d. Roger (see logue town) and the reaction he had when akioji mentioned his grandfather gave him problems... well luffy has never reacted that way to anyone else ever mentioned in onepiece including Gol and whitebeard. So who knows maybe luffy's grandfather is someone in the world Govt. High up or some other infamous pirate. But i dont think its anyone that the strawhats have had anysort of encounter / vicarious encounter with yet ..

I just don't even know enough to hazard a guess at who luffys grandfather is or what kind of person could make luffy look that scared.
