I have a theory that the reason why the Rocks pirates were formed in the first place was as a response to the rise of Roger.
Roger amassed an amazing crew that Rocks had to gather the strongest there is just to counter them, but ended up with an even more powerful crew as a result and aiming higher(the WG)
*Note Edit:
What I meant here was the ROCKS PIRATES the crew not Rocks D.Xebec the man.
Yes Rocks as an individual predates Roger’s infamy, what I meant was the Rocks pirates as an official pirate crew comes after.
So Rocks traveling with Stussy, Newgate and Shiki to Elbaf, that’s not the Rocks pirates, they’re not a crew at this point but Rocks as an individual is still infamous and you could say this is his era
It literally says in the chapter that 48 years ago Rocks wasn’t the captain of the Rocks pirates, meaning they were not a crew yet
Whitebeard in this flashback is 26 meaning Roger was 32 which makes him roughly 10 years younger than Rocks but the Roger pirates were already a crew at this point
So the Roger pirates as a crew predate the Rocks pirates as a crew
