English? And Oda hasn't shown many things regarding Roger, we've never seen him eat food.

Shanks, Raleigh and Buggy were all part of Roger's crew, and they all are connected to Luffy. They all know Luffy possesses the powers of the Gomu Gomu no Mi, and if Roger had it too, they would have said something about it.

Yes, Rayleigh mentioned it that Luffys hat belonged originally to Gol D.

Rayleigh said it. But not to Luffy. He said it to himself. It was just revealed by Oda, when he felt that it was the right thing to do. Luffy to that point doesn't know that his hat belonged to Roger.

gol d. roger dont have devil fruit because he wasnt wearing sea stone shackles during his execution.

You can distinguish seastone handcuffs and normal ones? Great talent you have there!
The last time I checked Law had to get chained up to notice the difference.
Share your wisdom tell us how you can distinguish Kairoseki handcuffs and normal ones?
An ability not even Law has!

Wow one reader that actually pays attention, wp budd wp.

It´s highly likely that Roger had the Gomu Gomu no mi.

1. We never saw Roger fight.
2.Shanks had the fruit hidden inside a casket.
3.It´s not necessary for the characters to get crazy over a devil fruit power.
4. Shanks may have gotten his hands on the Gomu Gomu no mi as a memento.
5. Although Luffy and Shanks interacted alot he never told him that he was on Roger´s crew, neither did Crocos.

Luffy is already associated with Roger´s will, which required buildup. Revealing that the fruit choose him later into the story has a much bigger impact than throwing it out now.

Even if he did have sea stone shackles he was being executed and on top of that, agreed to be executed so even if he could of used his powers he wouldnt have. so him wearing sea stone shackles proves nothing.

dont you think that people would notice if luffy has the same powers as the previous pirate king? or atleast make a comment about it?
if he had the gomu gumo no mi he probs never used it then so people outside his crew didnt know?
idk, but i dont think he had the gomu gomu no mi.

I believe Oda chose Rubber is just because he can think of more skill/technique for fighting.

And there is a flashback showing Roger uses sabre and pistol.

Rogers design is that of a stereotypical pirate. You cannot get much closer to it. The Hat, a sabre+a pistol. The one thing that could make him more cliche would be a wooden leg and an eyepatch. But taking a look at him on his meeting with Rayleigh and all of sudden he looks nearly identical to Ace. If Oda wanted to give Luffy that connection with Roger he decided later on that, it was clearly not intended from the start. Yet the possibility is still there, if nothing is shown Roger was just a strong dude like Rayleigh with exceptional Haki. As long as the possibility exists it´s still up there.

Phoenix_Wright said:


There is also the possibility that at the time when Roger was shown fighting, he still didn't eat the Devil Fruit. He could literally eat it at any point of time during his life.

Considering that information in One Piece world travel at a light speed, this is highly unlikely because when it comes to Gomu Gomu no Mi the only thing that world remember is Straw Hat Luffy not Gol D Roger.

Garp, Shanks, Baggy, Sengoku, Rayleigh, Whitebeard ... if Roger had the gomu gomu we should have had a little flash back about it before the timeskip. I'm not saying they would have said something to Luffy but they should have reacted somehow the first time they witness his ability, and in fact none of them really cared.
