Why does Roger's jolly roger have a flowing moustache when even in his 30s he's still to be seen with one?
I hadn't even noticed. But this explains why he has no charisma at all in these flashback chapters. It was all the power of the mustache. It will come later.

But Roger has such loser genes to not be able to grow a full-beard in his 30s
 
Rocks certainly shares some traits with Luffy, but he is fundamentally a violent person, and more akin to an actual pirate and criminal than Luffy.
That's what they TELL you, but have you actually seen anything that indicates he's so violent on paper?

He didn't want to hurt Loki initially and when the latter attacked he himself taught the kid a hard, but fair lesson. He didn't go overboard while he could've easily just killed Loki there. Just enough to show who's boss. Very similar to Luffy, who has done so multiple times, too.

Then they leveled an island - yes, an island full of scumbag monks that scammed everybody. Not a horrible act at all. A very SH thing to do.

Then we've got his fight with Harald. He clearly holds back just like Harald, because none of them wants to kill the other. Again very much like Luffy (actually a copy of his fight against Usopp).

It's very clever on Oda's part, really. Everything the manga tells you (the WG actually tells you) directly contradicts the actual things we've seen Rocks do on paper.
 
I noticed this detail: Shakky serves beans at her bar, and Rayleigh's favorite food is boiled beans. She refuses to cook for others, but she does for Rayleigh. Maybe his favorite meal comes from her cooking.

Yes, this is the attention to detail I want from my stories, what pointless ink-blots like to eat/cook. :few: Who needs plot when you have beans?

details of the chapter, thanks to redon from Arlong Park Forums. Short chapter of 15 pages.

- Chapter 1,159 : “God Valley”.

- Ogre Child Yamato's Golden Harvest Surrogate Pilgrimage, Vol. 40: “The pirate of justice lies here”. Yamato, O-Chō and Kikunojo are leaving the grave of the hero where they've placed some flowers. The name on the grave is “Kouzuki Moria” (“光月もりあ” in japanese).

- Chapter starts in the “Oro Jackson”. Roger was unhappy about Shakuyaku quitting Kuja Pirates. The last time they fought, Roger noticed that Shakuyaku seemed sick so he was worried about her.

- When Shakuyaku quit Kuja Pirates, she left a letter for Rayleigh to go meet her, but Rayleigh didn't want to bind himself to anyone. Then Roger decided to go visit Shakky's bar.

- A while after that (40 years ago) we see Garling (“one of the Holy Knights” at the time) talking with the Gorousei at Mary Geoise. Garling informed them about God Valley, an island where he stayed for a short while during a mission.

- Garling explained that he tried to convince them to join the World Government, but it was impossible. God Valley possessed a lot of resources that were extremely valuable to them. And on top of that Garling made an unbelievable discovery.

Garling: "It was something I didn't expect at all.
I'm certain the “Great One” will be pleased!!
Henceforth I strongly recommend the tournament in 2 years to be hosted in God Valley!!"

- Cut to Hachinosu. According to Shakky's rules, pirates who come to Hachinosu to visit her bar are not allowed to fight in the bar. Therefore many powerful pirates can be seen inside the bar drinking and talking without any fighting.

- Shakky noticed that Rocks was very happy and fulfilled, so she jokingly asked him if he was not in love with her anymore. Big Mom laughed saying that he probably met another woman. Rocks angrily told them that it was supposed to be a top secret.

- Whitebeard didn't understand what's happening and Stussy said him “You can't tell!!?”. Then Stussy thought to herself that Rocks' happy face was not just for a woman, he probably got a kid too.

- Suddenly, Roger Pirates came into Shakky's bar to see her. Roger defeated all pirates in the large line outside the bar to enter first. Random pirates in the bar couldn't believe that Roger Pirates were there (they even took pictures of them). Rocks confronted Roger.

Rocks: "Roger~~~~!!! How many times I gotta tell you that this is my island!!!"

Roger: "And this is Shakky's bar!! No fighting among customers right!? Stop yapping you porcupine!!"

- Shakky asked Roger Pirates if Rayleigh was there, but they said he stayed on the ship, avoiding her. Hearing that, Shakky turned sad and faint.

- Cut to the “Underworld” in Elbaph. We see that Harald and Rocks were fighting each other during two EPIC double pages. Loki and Hajrudin were watching the colossal battle but they couldn't withstand the impact of Harald and Rocks attacks. Rocks was very angry with Harald.

Rocks: "Harald!!! How could you of all people be
