Roger is the first character to be shown with the D in his name; however, he is the second to be named. Dr. Kureha revealed that his true name was Gol D. Roger well after his initial introduction. This is also the first indication that there is an underlying mystery and something special in those who carry the initial D, and Roger himself admits to Whitebeard that the D has a greater meaning than a simple initial.
During Shanks’s flashback back to Roger’s death and the day he last saw Buggy, rain can be seen falling down on the town at that moment. This is echoed by Monkey D. Luffy’s departure from Loguetown, as it also rained during his escape.
It was stated that Ace’s mother held him for 20 months (5 months before and 15 months after Roger’s execution). Since Ace’s birthday is January 1, Roger must have been executed sometime between late September and early October.
Roger was the first named character shown in the One Piece series and the first person in general in the manga.
In the 4th Japanese popularity poll, Roger (along with Chopperman and Van Augur) ranked 83th.
It seems that Roger did not like the nickname “Gold Roger” because it wasn’t his true name.
In Episode 85 of the anime, when Hiluluk was describing what a pirate is to Chopper, a man who was identical in appearance to Roger was seen.
When Oars was pretending to be a pirate by placing a piece of rubble on his head, a pirate similar to Roger was also shown.
Upon his death, the real life pirate Olivier Levasseur had tossed a cryptogram from the scaffolding into the crowd and told them if they could figure out the message, his treasure (now valued at £160,000,000 in today’s money) would be theirs, a treasure that to this day has never been found. This seems to have been part of the inspiration for Roger’s legendary death speech, as Roger himself had delivered the message to find his treasure, and notably the Poneglyphs are also part of a grand cryptogram leading to the end of the Grand Line.
Roger is the first known owner of the straw hat that Luffy (and previously Shanks) wears.
In One Piece Green it was revealed that Roger’s mustache was actually nose hair (although this is probably a joke).
He is the first character shown in the Anime due to being in the opening.
In this theory I will be discussing the possible events of Sanji’s solo arc, the whole deal with Big Mom and these weird thing called “Tea Party”
So first, let’s start with this line:
And this one too:
If you guys, noticed, Akainu and Brook both mentioned they had “a chill run down their spine”, i’ll just be straightforward about it.
I believe Akainu is referring to Bonney being Big Mom’s daughter. (Akainu have no idea about the wedding) and this indicates that Bonney seemed to have already been caught by the Marines before.
While Brook was referring to his familiarity to the Vinsmoke Family, a famous Mafia group.
And this Vinsmoke Family, I believe is led by the blonde guy, from the Gorosei.
Remember that Brook is around 90 years old, so this means that whoever this Vinsmoke is should be around for quite a few decades in power.
Which by logical assumption is the Gorosei.
And both of them (Sanji and Bonney), had been wanted all along by both the World Government and the Charlotte Family for one and one thing only.
A Marriage.
Sanji and Bonney are “supposed” to be wed by the Vinsmoke and Charlotte Family, it’s the reason why Bonney currently hiding right now.
So reason why I said “supposedly” is because right now, Bonney is not gonna marry Sanji, but the 35th daughter of Big Mom.
Pudding, which I suppose is this girl.
It’s probably safe to assume that Big Mom’s “daughters” aren’t biological. come on.
Well, I assume the “Mafia” identity of the Gorosei is most probably a secret to marines, so they wouldn’t know it, I believe this marriage would start a “secret” alliance between the Charlotte Family and the Gorosei.
As I said before in my previous theories, I said that Kaido is actually “secretly” affiliated with the World Government as well, and I think the Gorosei are trying to do the same thing with Big Mom.
The World Government using Doflamingo and Caesar to ally with Kaido, while they are using “Marriage” to ally with Big Mom.
I’ll just stop here coz this is not my main theory.
==========
Anyway, I’ll assume that Bonney probably ran away from Big Mom after she was forced to marry someone (probably a Tenryuubito) because it’s Ace’s “D” (if you know what I mean) who Bonney really likes to get.
So after Bonney ran away, Pudding was next in line.
Now some backstory speculation, the Mafia Gorosei impregnated a woman in North Blue (Roger did that, so its open season) and of course their son turned out to be Sanji.
In order to keep them separated (because he is a douchebag who dont care about having a son) the Mafia Gorosei sent Sanji to East Blue , while her mom stayed in Marijoies (or North Blue)
Obviously by crossing over Red Line, a feat only someone like a resident of Marijoies could perform.
Probably Capone just joined Big Mom Pirates in order to find Sanji because he is actually either a subordinate or an ally group of the Vinsmoke Family.
Personally, I believe Capone and Crocodile are the real partners and Capone is just tasked in finding Sanji and Crocodile in finding Bonney.
Of course i’m inclined to think that them two got their own Mafia Group apart from Vinsmokes.
=========
Alright, so let’s now discuss what I think would happen in Sanji’s Arc. (Assuming he gets one)
Firstly, I dont believe Sanji would get saved by the Strawhats (that’s so Robin) and secondly, Luffy and Zoro already expressed their full trust in Sanji.
What I think would happen, is that these 2 arcs (Sanji’s Arc and Zou Arc) would be told interchangeably at the same time, in which both parties would lead to Wano-Kuni Arc.
And ultimately to the fall of Kaido.
There’s no doubt in my mind now that Big Mom’s pirate crew, will end up being an ally of the Strawhat Grand Fleet after the Sanji Arc.
And this same Sanji Arc would bring back and introduce some big time players, as well as the Zou Arc.
Rather than going rounds in circles, i’ll just provide you on who I think would be the characters that would comprise of Sanji’s team:
These are people who would get introduced and re-introduced in Sanji’s Arc:
1. Dr. Vegapunk
2. Sentoumaru
3. Big Mom (obviously)
4. Pudding (obviously too)
5. Admiral Kizaru
6. Capone Bege
7. Crocodile
8. The Blonde Gorosei
Caesar would be taken away by Admiral Kizaru, while Vegapunk will reveal himself as one of the Revolutionary Leaders and leave the World Government.
The end of this arc would be Big Mom ending up as an ally of Sanji and the Strawhat Pirates.
Sanji’s team would come with him in Wano and merge with Luffy’s team.
While in Wano, Fujitora, Sengoku and Tsuru would also be involved. Ryukogyu would be introduced.
I actually have a scenario in mind but I know Oda-sensei would think of something better so I just left things like this.
So I wanted to do this theory a little differently from all the other Vinsmoke speculations that have surfaced over the past few weeks…. Instead of predicting who the Vinsmokes actually are (Royalty, Mafia, CD’s etc…) I want to go into what I believe they actually do….
Now no matter what route anyone chooses to go with who the Vinsmokes are, there is one thing that is abundantly obvious, and that is that they are extremely influential in the world. I believe they aren’t influential just because of who they are, but because of what they do! Allow me to explain….
Now in the latest chapter (813) there was a huge mistranslation within one of the pages, and when I had read the correct translation, it inspired to me write this theory….. what I will do is, is post one of the scanlations, and then provide the official translation via text.
In the first part of the theory, I want to focus on how we may have already seen one of Sanji’s older brother! But who could the mystery man be? Well we haven’t seen his face, like most people think, but what we have seen is that this group he belongs to has the ability to manipulate the world, and trick them into believing something like Doflamingo resigned from the Shichibukai! If you haven’t guess it by now, I am talking about one of the members of CP-0 who showed up on Dressrosa….
Why him? Well there is no particular reason, but the point is, even if it is not him, I believe one of Sanji’s brothers, is a Cipher Pol 0 agent. Now if you look at the suits CP-0, they are the same exact type of suit Sanji wears, but they are white instead of black…. Now obviously I am not going claim his brother is a member of CP-0 just because of that! Thats like saying Bellamy is his brother cause they have blonde hair….
What leads me to believe that, is what the official translation of 813 stated. Lets take a look shall we?
Sanji: You can’t kill me can you? What did they tell you? No cuffs? Treat me gently right? My bounty poster says I’m to be taken only alive! If you Kill me, someone is going to be real angry I bet! And whoever wrote that on my poster….Has to be the same person who arranged this wedding! Don’t move! You know who I’ve got backing me up now don’t you? I am going with you, to settle things with them! So don’t you dare touch my crew!
Now in the mangastream translation we see Sanji speaking about a single person being responsible for his bounty poster, but in the official translation, he not only speaks about a single person, but also speaks about “them” which leads me to believe he is talking about a specific group, and he knows exactly who they are! And like I pointed out earlier, CP-0 has already shown to have the authority to even go over the Gorosei’s head, and trick the World. So if they have the authority to do that, then there is no doubt in my mind they have the authority to make someones wanted poster “Only alive”
Now I know that is not concrete evidence to prove his brother is apart of CP-0, but there is a few other things that lead me to believe that! One thing that people have always wondered, was what Sanji ment, when he told Bartholomew Kuma, that one day he was going to be the biggest threat to the World Government….
Well, if you think about it. Doflamingo was able to manipulate the World Government, because he knew about the National Treasure of Mariejois. Now think about it. If the Vinsmoke family have been members of CP-0 throughout the generations, then it would make sense, that Sanji also knows about the National Treasure of Mariejois… Which would explain how he would become a huge threat to the World Government!
Next thing I want to point out…. What is some of the things Sanji specializes in? Information gathering, and infiltration! He had to have learned these skills somewhere, and what we saw from CP-9, they start training their candidates at a young age! So it makes perfect sense for Sanji to have started training to be a member of CP-0 at a young age!
Now the last point I want to make, might sound a little ridiculous, but I believe it was extremely sneaky on Oda’s part to do this! And a little comical as well! We all remember when Sanji fought against Jabra right? Well Jabra is a member of CP-9, and he tried to trick Sanji into believing he was Nico Robins long lost brother!
I believe this is a tricky little foreshadowing on Oda’s part, alluding to the fact that Sanji’s long lost brother, is a member of a Cipher Pol agency! We all know Oda has a knack for making lies become reality!
Now onto the second part of the theory! Like i said earlier, I wanted to go into what the Vinsmokes actually do, and I don’t believe they are a family limited to being CP-0 agents! I believe they are also a family who marry into the family of extremely powerful Pirates! I think they have been doing this for Generations!
I think Sanji was originally suppose to become a member of CP-0 when he was a kid, and one of his other brothers was suppose to Marry into the Charlotte Family! However after Sanji ran away, the brother who was suppose to Marry into the Charlotte family, became a member of CP-0, and now they want Sanji to marry into the Charlotte family, as he is already a Pirate!
What leads me to believe they also become affiliated with powerful Pirates, on top of working for the Celestial Dragons? It’s what Brook said in the latest chapter! (813)
Brook: “V…Vinsmoke is Sanji’s family name?! It’s a name that makes my Backbone crawl…. But it can’t be….”
That right there leads me to believe, that the Pirate crew who wiped out The Rumbar Pirates over 50 years ago were none other than the Vinsmoke Pirates….. Who even back then were affiliated with the Charlotte family!
I believe the Vinsmoke family has their hands in not only the World Government, Not only being Royalty, but also has their hands in Piracy!
One son enters into Cp-0, another son enters into an affiliation with a powerful Pirate crew (A yonko) and the other son remains in their Kingdom to become the next King! The Piracy thing might be a stretch, but the fact that Brook has his backbone crawl whenever he hears the name, is what leads me to believe they had a pirate crew 50 years ago, and were the ones who wiped out The Rumbar Pirates!
And with that I conclude my theory! It’s been a long time since I made one, so I hope you all enjoyed it! If I think of anything else, I will add more to it!
ONE PIECE GOLD
