In the already long-lived story arc of ONE PIECEEiichiro Oda is set in the land of Wa and has decided to take us back in time to relive the fundamental moments in Kozuki Oden’s life and to show us the character of Gol D. Roger in more detail at the last moment. A great journey, that made him the king of the pirates.
They have been highlighted several times during the course of the narrative, and largely thanks to fans’ theories many similarities between Monkey D. Luffy and Roger, not only for the legendary straw hat that went through three generations and considered Shanks to be its previous owner, but also for the attitudes in the Willpower that both use to achieve their goalsand for the total confidence they have in their companions.
Luffy seems far more instinctive than Roger, although his young age may well justify this attitude, but to further corroborate it the intention of Oda and the creators of the animated adaptation to highlight a connection between the twothere is a very short scene from episode 967 that user @ downterrible1 showed in the following post. As Luffy had said a long time ago Roger realizes that he has to go to heavenand communicates it to his companions, including Oden himself, with the same gesture the protagonist made many episodes ago.
We recall that some men were arrested for illegal fishing on a ship called the Going Merry, and we leave you to the spoilers and the full recap of Chapter 1009.
