Questions & Mysteries Ace was executed because of Shanks?

[zenox]

what are you even talking about lol

I am saying rocks’ savagery with rocks pirates wasnt impactful because oda only wrote statements abt them , we had 1 good moment where rocks infiltrated holy land and threatened imu but thats it.
Rest of it was pure piracy stuff where they battled marines and plundered nations.

all that and oda turned him into a hero too

It’s sad how Roger got retconned from the GOAT of piracy to just another average great pirate. Literally nothing stands out about him other than a dora the explorer feat

I mean, Roger is still an exceptional top tier. But now, he has to leech off prime Whitebeard (equal of this monster) and his subordinates (captain of two top tiers, one of whom got comparisons with Shanks)....cause he himself has nothing.
I used to remember how it was Whitebeard leeching off Roger in the past (only man who was equal of Roger). How the tables have turned lmao.

This is what Roger USED to be...... A man who was almost possessed and knew he was born to tear the world order asunder.

Yeah, Oda was very clearly implying that Roger, even as a very young man, knew there was something he had to do and that he was driven by destiny to change the world.

The very aura of Roger meeting Rayleigh was everything the CDs feared about the Ds. An uncontrollable, almost prophetic, rebel attempting to flip over the table and throw the world into chaos.
There is something about the "great men" of history IRL, where narratives and descriptions (from their comrades and adversaries alike) make it seem like they were almost possessed by an otherworldly force and purpose. Roger used to give that vibe with the Rayleigh flashback, legend of power/fame/wealth, ushering in a new age, etc.

Unfortunately Loda threw that characterization out of the window, and made him a clueless Goofy clone just interested in exploring and mickey mouse rivalries. What a waste.

I don't know how you can say he has nothing and call him a leech when people constantly hype characters by comparing them to Roger and not the other way around.
Even in the narrator's rundown on Whitebeard after his death, Oda made sure to include him being Roger's equal as a way of hyping him.

He is talking about feats I think.

Ehh that's more of just Oda not showing much of the old legends and their feats in general
