Chapter Discussion so Rogers is nothing special now?

#25
He was special cause of his accomplishments and his impact. Roger started a whole new pirate era, inspired thousands to go find the one piece, the death of Roger changed the one piece world fully. He may not have known as much, seen as much, been the strongest or anything, but he had influence
Yep, Roger is one of the most pivotal characters, alongside Luffy and Shanks, for the entire manga’s theme. Without Roger, there is no One Piece.

1. One piece is not even his treasure, but joy boys.
2. He's not the only person to know the true history. Vegapunk, giants, rocks all knew. And they actually tried to do something. It seems like xebec knew even more than him.
3. He wasn't even strongest. Tied with garp and WB. A clear level below xebec.

He's essentially relegated to a secondary character in the story. Barely any significance in flashbacks.
True it's truly feeling that way. After he ganged up on Xebec and took him out he was basically left with the only stable mature crew. The rest of the big dogs had to start from scratch and build up their empires and crews. It's honestly not surprising that he became the PK. He was the only one who could do it.

Basically Xebec was going to become the PK but he got taken out so the next best person took advantage and ascended.

We see this kind of stuff in Greek mythology with children ganging up (Cronus to Uranus and later Zeus to Cronus) and killing a parent and then the strongest of the child ascending and becoming the main god. The ascending child though is usually clearly weaker than the former god they slew (in a gang bang).

The speech he gave at the end of his life inspired many. But it also made him a larger than life figure. Once you sail and start looking for the one piece you start to discover the guy was scum the worst of the worst.

This.

Roger's biggest contribution is him starting new age of pirates. We have yet to see Roger's journey from his POV.

That being said I do agree rocks looks better for now. Strongest crew , more badass , more important lineage etc.
Those however are just tools. What exactly did Rocks do with these tools? Nothing of lasting importance, as far as can be seen so far.

Xebec is just more special.....
He don't need Laughtale to know about world history, he knows about Ancient weapon, knows about the DF required to take down WG.
Descendant of Davy jones, etc etc
It's hard to believe that Oda actually wants to make a pirate that is greater than Roger, in name, fame, notoriety, power etc who's also around the same era. Tho Roger has his final chance to clear the fraud allegations in God Valley.

He knew everything... Yet did nothing about it.

While rocks literally walked in imu's chambers and had a real plan to be at imu. That's the difference buddy.
Roger knew so much that he knew he couldn't do anything at his time.

Shirahoshi wasn't even born yet.

Roger was too early and he knew it. Xebec was clueless and speedrunned to the final boss at level 1. That's an achievement, but not enough to end it.
