CURIOSITY

“If is the famous pirate François L’Ollonais the source of Zoro’s name? You got it. I took the name from François L’Ollonais, who was the cruelest of all the Caribbean Pirates” (Oda)

 

Jean David Nau, better known as François L’Olonnais, was a French buccaneer, pirate and privateer. He was known as one of the cruelest pirates in the Caribbean Sea. He treated the region’s Spanish and native inhabitants with such savagery that many historians believe he was insane.
With over 600 buccaneers and 8 ships he attacked the cities Maracaibo and Gibraltar in the Gulf of Venezuela. The city of Maracaibo was conquered easily and that left region wide open, easy for a devastation. When the buccaneers came to Maracaibo , they realized that a lot of townsfolk escaped, so they chased the fugitives throughout woods and brought them back. L’Ollonais was abominably torturing almost every citizen until they betray their friends and reveal hidden treasures . Some of them died in pain.
After that, they landed near Gibraltar. The Citizens met same fate as the ones in Maracaibo . They were raped, tortured, murdered , and no one was spared. Some of them died without any particular reason, just for personal satisfaction. Almost whole town was burned.
L’Ollonais conducted many treasure raids against Spanish possessions and was killed while attempting a raid, captured by the Indians who were on the Spanish side. His life finished like he perhaps deserved. He was cut into pieces and burned. Some rumor goes that he was eaten by cannibals.

Anne Bonny (Cormac, 1702 – 1743) is the main ispiration of the character Jewelry Bonney in One Piece. She was an Irish woman who became a famous pirate, operating in the Caribbean. Launching her own career as a pirate, along with Mary and Rackham, she raised a small crew and escaped the island in August 1720, intending to execute a series of swift robberies before retiring with enough gold to live off.
Anne was a capable fighter, adept at wielding swords and firearms. She also had advanced freerunning skills, allowing her to keep up with Edward as he navigated Long Bay’s jungles. As well as this, Anne possessed great nautical knowledge, which served her well in her role as quartermaster.
The dates of birth and death are uncertain and the few biographical you have about her are due to the tales of Captain Charles Johnson (perhaps he is a fictional character due to Daniel Defoe), contained in “A General History of the Pyrates”.

Rayleigh is light hearted, casual, and fun loving, much like his captain Roger was. In the past, he was shown to have been impatient with the antics of the younger crew members, and took the position of crew disciplinarian very seriously. However, he has changed his personality in his older years, becoming much more relaxed even when training Luffy.

Though he often has a serious air, Rayleigh enjoys going with the flow and appearing in unexpected places and in unexpected ways, especially given his status and age. He often comments on his age and how his body “does not work the way it used to”, much like Garp.

Rayleigh is not often headstrong, looking before he leaps and taking time to plan ahead before taking action, although he does not hesitate to act if needs be. Even when entering into an unfortunate or unplanned situation such as engaging a Marine admiral in combat or having his ship sink in the Sea King infested waters of the Grand Line, Rayleigh remains completely calm, pushing forward through adversity with no hesitation.

He, like Whitebeard, seem to enjoy talking about the past and its great times, as well as the good old days of their near bygone era. In spite of this, he appeared reluctant to get into the darker topic of the Void Century. He is typically open and talkative, such as when it came to the mysterious Void Century. He was willing to divulge the whole truth to Nico Robin if she wished, but she declined his offer.

As stated by Shakky, he loves alcohol and women, which he proved when he is first introduced saving Keimi from being mistreated by Disco while holding a hip flask. He prefers to be called “Ray-San”. Despite once being enemies with the Whitebeard Pirates, Rayleigh seems to have great respect for their captain, like Roger, and shed a tear for Whitebeard’s passing.

History

Past

Before Roger formed his crew, Rayleigh met Roger after he stole a ship due to his house burning down and needing a place to live. Roger said that it was a fated meeting and asked Rayleigh to join him. At first Rayleigh declined, but some time later, he formed a bond with Roger and became his first mate.

In the New World, at Edd War, Buggy panicked at the potential conflict between two infamous pirate crews: the Roger Pirates and the Golden Lion Pirates. Rayleigh was present, and he held Buggy back, telling him not to worry. When Roger rejected Shiki’s offer to become his right hand man, Rayleigh was seen preparing for battle along with the other Roger Pirates. A battle between the two crews ensued, and a change in the weather allowed the Roger Pirates to sink half of Shiki’s ships.

Twenty-six years before the start of the story, Roger fell ill from an incurable disease, leading the Roger Pirates to take one final journey together. They ventured into the Grand Line together and conquered it. A year before his death, Roger disbanded the crew in secret and one by one the crew disappeared. Before he handed himself over to the Marines, Roger told Rayleigh that “He would not die”. Unwilling to watch the execution of his closest friend, Rayleigh toasted a drink to the man with a laugh as the blades passed, and downed a glass as his first act in the Great Age of Piracy, the Age of Dreams. Rayleigh stated that he laughed (and cried, and drank) nonetheless upon hearing the message Roger had left the world.

Some time later, Rayleigh was saved by a young Hatchan from drowning in a shipwreck. Since then, Rayleigh has been on good terms with Hachi. He, along with Shakuyaku and Nyon, also helped protect the Gorgon Sisters after their escape from slavery from the World Nobles. Eventually, Rayleigh became a coating mechanic on Sabaody Archipelagoand at some point formed a business partnership with Shakuyaku. He had been missing for six months prior to Luffy’s arrival on the archipelago.

Sabaody Archipelago

Finished at the bar, Luffy’s group headed out to look for Rayleigh. Shakky saw them off, informing them that although the Marines are aware of some of the big names on the island, they have their hands full with another matter and gave one last warning not to make a big scene before they head out.

At a Marine base, a Marine reported to Garp that Rayleigh is being sold at the auction house. Garp commented that the pirate is probably selling himself to pay off a gambling debt. He also told the Marine reporting to him not to mention this to anyone else and that he will take care of it. Garp explained that Rayleigh is not to be underestimated just because of his age, and many good men could be hurt or worse if handled the wrong way.

When the manager, Disco, mistreated the newly arrived Keimi, Rayleigh used Haoshoku Haki to knock Disco out. The giant in a cage with him noted this and asked him who he was, which Rayleigh shrugged off, saying he was just an old man. Rayleigh eventually broke out of his cell along with the giant. He revealed that he only had himself put up for auction to eventually rob whoever bought him. As the guards stood there in shock, confused as to what they should do about this new development, Rayleigh spotted Hatchan and asked what he doing there. Upon seeing Keimi, however, he connected the dots before using another burst of Haoshoku Haki on the guards, knocking them all out. Rayleigh spotted Luffy, commenting that he has been waiting to meet him.

Rayleigh managed to remove the collar from Keimi and threw it aside before it explodes without the need for a key, much to the astonishment of the Straw Hats and to the annoyance of Franky who had just found the keys; he threw them to the remaining slaves to free themselves. Rayleigh apologized to Kid and Law for the blast from earlier, though remarked that they can not be normal if they managed to survive it. Both brushed it off, rather amazed to have run into the “Dark King” himself. Rayleigh replied that he is merely a simple coater now and warned not to use the former title as he would prefer to live a peaceful life. He checked on Hachi and thanked the Straw Hats’ for saving him before telling the group that they should leave. However, the Marines had the place surrounded, and demanded that they release the World Nobles.

Rayleigh is next seen running away carrying Hatchan on his back with Franky close behind when they escaped from the Auction house, later arriving at Shakky’s Rip-off Bar to meet up with the Straw Hats. After they arrived, they talked with Rayleigh, and he revealed his connection to Gold Roger; much to their surprise. Rayleigh also revealed how he met Hachi; the fishman had saved Rayleigh’s life when he was a child, and they had remained friends till Hachi joined Fisher Tigers crew, the Sun Pirates, and then remained in Arlong’s crew after the Sun Pirates disbanded, which Rayleigh seemed to disapprove of.

After conversing a while Sanji raised the question of how Rayleigh still could be alive if Roger’s crew were captured; Rayleigh revealed that Roger actually turned himself in. The government just made it seem he was conquered to show their strength to the public. Rayleigh went on to explain that four years before he was executed, Roger contracted an incurable disease. His crew had came across Crocus at the entrance of the Grand Line and asked him to join him on his final journey to keep his disease in check.

Finally after three years they had managed to conquer the Grand Line. This surprised the Straw Hats, Brook especially, since Crocus did reveal to them he was a pirate doctor for a time. Rayleigh even told them that the reason Crocus joined was to find a certain pirate crew, which the Straw Hats reason must have been the Rumbar Pirates, bringing tears to Brook’s eyes. Rayleigh continued, telling that after they conquered the sea, Roger was dubbed the Pirate King. However the title was meaningless since he was about to die. But Roger enjoyed it anyway through parties and fighting as a way to cope with the future. Eventually Roger disbanded his crew who silently went their separate ways, fates unknown.

The Dark King talked about the last time he saw Roger, the words they shared and how he felt the day of the execution, and added that normally he would not have told the crew any of this. His old apprentice Shanks had spoke of a young boy in East Blue with the same fire and personality as their captain, and had even passed on his hat to him. On a lighter note, Rayleigh congratulated Luffy for making it this far into the Grand Line and offered to do the coating job for free, much to the Straw Hats’ pleasure. Robin spoke up and asked about the Void Century, explaining to Rayleigh her findings from the Poneglyph inSkypiea. Rayleigh replied that he did indeed find out the history of it, but advised that she continue looking for it on her own; he explained that if he told her at present, she would not be prepared for it nor have the strength and resources necessary to truly take advantage of the information. Robin politely refused the information.

Rayleigh expressed sorrow that Ohara was destroyed, noting that Clover was a truly wise man, but perhaps he and the other archeologists were too hasty in trying to arrive at the truth. In regards to Roger using the lost Poneglyph script on the Shandoran Belfry, he cryptically stated that Roger could simply hear the voice of all things. Usopp lept up and asked Robin if she really would let an opportunity to know the truth like this slip by, and started to question Rayleigh about One Piece. Luffy angrily interjected, demanding that the mystery of the treasure’s true form or even existence remain hidden, since as countless pirates risk their lives just to search for it, to know removes the adventure. He threatened to quit being a pirate if any of the crew asks Rayleigh about it, adding that he does not want to go on a boring adventure. Usopp apologized for his actions, before Rayleigh asked Luffy if he can really conquer the Grand Line. Luffy replied that he does not really intend to conquer it, but that the person with the most freedom in the ocean would be the Pirate King. This brought a smile to Rayleigh’s and Shakky’s faces, seeing the unmistakable likeness to Roger in Luffy just as Shanks saw. Rayleigh told the crew he will have their ship coated in three days, and to avoid trouble until then

Rayleigh appeared after the Straw Hats were confronted by Sentomaru and aPacifista, saving Roronoa Zoro from death by redirecting Kizaru’s kick. Kizaru greeted the “Dark King” while Rayleigh told him not to pluck the budding pirates since their era is just beginning. When Kizaru moved to chase the escaping Zoro, Usopp and Brook with “Yata no Kagami“, Rayleigh drew a sword and cut the beam of light, stopping Kizaru in his tracks.

The two engaged in a sword fight, Kizaru using a sword of light, where Rayleigh managed to draw blood by cutting Kizaru’s cheek. Despite fighting evenly with Kizaru, he is only one man, and even he is unable to prevent the Straw Hats from being overpowered by PX-1 and Sentomaru while busy. After Bartholomew Kuma arrived and transported Zoro far away with his powers, he told Rayleigh something the Dark King is unwilling to believe—that he is an officer of the revolutionary army and that he wishes to let the Straw Hats escape – before he sent the rest of the crew to distant islands.

Marineford Arc.

While Whitebeard’s death was aired at Sabaody, Rayleigh, who had escaped Kizaru’s arrest, watched from afar while drinking. He remarked that Whitebeard was finally dead with a smile on his face and tears in his eyes.

fter the war, Rayleigh set off on a ship to Amazon Lily. However before he could even reach to the Calm Belt, his ship sank in a storm and thus forced him to swim the rest of the way to the island. He killed several Sea Kings when he was getting closer to the shore of the island, something which surprised and almost frightened the Heart Pirates who were watching from the shore. When he got to the shore, he remembered Trafalgar Law from the Sabaody Archipelago, and told them he thought Luffy was on the island.

He saw Luffy and Jinbe coming toward him. When Luffy asked about his crew, Rayleigh said he doubted they were all back yet. After telling Luffy that Law said to take it easy for another two weeks, he proceeded to greet Nyon, Boa Hancock, and her sisters, whom he had met 13 years ago; he had protected them when they had escaped from the Celestial Dragons. Elder Nyon is an old friend of his, and Rayleigh passed on a message from Shakky. He reassured them that the Marines would not even think to look for Luffy on Amazon Lily, and that he was completely safe there.

Rayleigh recalled what Kuma whispered to him back on the archipelago. He explained that Kuma told him the general direction in which he sent Luffy, which happened to lead right to Amazon Lily. After going back through the events of the war with Shakky, she was able to surmise (correctly on all three accounts) that Boa Hancock was hiding Luffy on her home island, that she was doing so out of love for Luffy, and also as a means of hiding him from the Marines. Rayleigh commented that a woman’s intuition was a truly frightening thing. He said he would get to the main reason he came to find Luffy. Rayleigh asked him if he wanted to return to Sabaody, and Luffy replied yes. Rayleigh reminded him of what happened there before, saying that gathering his crew there again would lead to the same result as before. He started to propose an idea he has to Luffy, giving him the choice of rejecting it if he so chooses.

He infiltrated Marineford with Luffy and Jinbe and took part in stealing a Marine ship and circling Marineford once with it. He was seen on the Kuja Pirates’ ship with two Kuja pirates pulling on his cheek. He told Luffy that his crew most likely got the meaning of his message, due to its abnormal nature, and said that he had a hunch that the others would understand the message.

He and Luffy went to Rusukaina for special training. Rayleigh told Hancock that none of the Kujas are allowed on the island during the training and tells her that if she is worried then she should pray for Luffy. Once the Kuja Pirates are gone, Rayleigh began Luffy’s training by mentioning that the island was once inhabited, but the chaotic climate changes and the ferocious nature of the wildlife eventually killed all the natives. As a wild elephant came charging at them, Rayleigh explained the basic concepts of Haki, using the elephant as a demonstration for them.

Rayleigh told Luffy that there are three kinds of Haki: Kenbunshoku Haki, Busoshoku Haki, and Haoshoku Haki. He used Kenbunshoku Haki to dodge the elephant’s attack and used Busoshoku Haki to repel the elephant. When Luffy started to understand Haki, Rayleigh subdued the elephant using the Haoshoku Haki. The two began training on the island. Luffy realized that he has seen these techniques before in some form or another during his adventures. Rayleigh hoped to use those two years to teach him the basics of controlling the different types of Haki, as it would take longer with a normal person. The two began training on the island.

two years later

Return to Sabaody Arc

Rayleigh returned to Sabaody Archipelago half a year before Luffy. He was seen again in Shakky’s bar commenting on how strong the Straw Hat pirates have become. He also finished coating the Thousand Sunny.

Rayleigh met Nami, Robin, Franky, Chopper, and Usopp on the Thousand Sunny. He informed them that Luffy had arrived on the island and is about to teach Nami on how to operate a coated ship. He told her to move the ship to Grove 42 and to wait until everyone assembled, saying it was finally time to restart. Rayleigh went to Grove 46 to check up on Luffy. He also commented on how Luffy strengthened his haki.

After Luffy had declared that he would be the Pirate King, Rayleigh was shown smiling with tears in his eyes. As the Marines begin their pursuit, Rayleigh drew a line on the ground with his sword and warned the Marines not to cross it, declaring that Luffy is his student. By doing so, he bought some extra time for the Straw Hat pirates to escape to Fishman Island.

Once the Straw Hats left, he revealed in a conversation with Shakky that a previous owner of Luffy’s straw hat was in fact, Roger. After reminiscing about the day he first met Roger, Rayleigh started tearing up, and commented that Luffy is a man worthy of that hat. Rayleigh added that it is not a bad idea to live a little longer.

One Piece Story

There once was a man who had everything in the world. . . wealth, fame, and power. His name was Gold Roger, and he was King of the Pirates. Before they hung him from the gallows, these were the last words he said:

“My fortune is yours for the taking. . . but you’ll have to find it first. I left everything I own. . . in One Piece.”

Now. . . pirates from all over head for the Grand Line, hoping to find the treasure that will make their dreams come true. The Grand Line is filled with the world’s most treacherous waters, making it virtually impossible for sailors to navigate their way to Gold Roger’s riches. It’s been nicknamed The Cemetery of Pirates.

This is the age of the greatest pirates who ever lived!

The Story

Moments before his execution, the legendary pirate Gold Roger revealed that his greatest treasure, One Piece, was hidden somewhere on the deadly sea route known as the Grand Line. Thus began the Great Age of Piracy, with countless pirates competing to rule the seas and, ultimately, find Gold Roger’s treasure. Monkey D. Luffy is one such pirate. As a boy, he accidentally ate the magical Gum-Gum Fruit, which gave him the power to stretch like rubber — but made it impossible for him to swim. Years later, Luffy sets out in a leaky rowboat, hoping to use his rubber powers and endless optimism.

The Poneglyphs are mysterious cubic stones made of an unknown material and indestructible, left by a civilization of the century empty, civilization vanished. On these stones there are inscriptions written in a very old language that tell the history Unspeakable. In addition to the history of the Hundred years of emptiness, the Poneglyphs include information from at least two weapons of mass destruction: Pluton and Poseidon. There are two different types of Poneglyphs: those who report information on weapons or on the story untold, and those leading to other Poneglyphs. Deciphering and search Poneglyphs means breaking the law of the World Government, and therefore end up in prison or even executed. Nevertheless, the ultimate goal of Nico Robin is deciphering the Real Poneglyphs. Nico Robin is also the only person in the world who can read the ancient language of Poneglyphs, but in the past all the scholars of Ohara island they were able. Gol D. Roger was not able to decipher the ancient writing. It seems, however, had the power to “hear the voice of things” and then learned the content of the stones.

A Skypiea Robin discovered that every place where there is a Poneglyphs retains at least one other. The first Poneglyphs Shandora contained a message to find the second, while it contained the information regarding the location of the weapon Poseidon. The first Poneglyphs is located in the ruins of the city of Shandora, while the second, under the sacred golden bell. Gol D. Roger had also previously found this Poneglyphs and left a message, written in ancient language, to encourage anyone who was able to decipher the Poneglyphs to continue the search for the “real story”. The tribe Shandia had the task of protecting these two Poneglyphs.

Located on the island of Ohara, this Poneglyphs contains information about the great void and the name of the ancient lost civilization (name unknown). The World Government considered the archaeologists who were studying dangerous, so he ordered the Buster Call to destroy the island. Robin was the only survivor.

The Poneglyphs of the kingdom of the Dragon Palace is located in the forest and marine contains Joy Boy’s apology to the princess Poseidon, for not having kept his promise made island Fishman and realize the fate of Noah

During his youth spent on the run from the World Government, Robin found a Poneglyphs in a wooded area. It has never been revealed, nor its content, nor its actual position.

According to Robin Real Poneglyphs (真 の 歴 史 の 本文 (リ オ · ポ ー ネ グ リ フ), Rio Pōnegurifu; literally “the text of the true story”), which tells the true story of the world of One Piece, is the union of all the steps contained in Poneglyphs around the world so that they would form the text of the “true” story. It seems that Gol D. Roger has read and collected the various posts of Poneglyphs bringing with it the end of the Grand Line, so the key to know the history of the century may be located on the island of Raftel empty.

Gold Roger 

Roger was a tall man able to walk tall even while going to the gallows. The highlights of his physical appearance were his curved mustache blacks, this almost always a grin on his face and a penetrating gaze.
He used to wear a long jacket in red, with under a blue shirt and a green sash tied around the waist. Completed the whole of blue trousers and black shoes, while his neck he wore a sort of white scarf. Before being taken to justice even wore a hat with his Jolly Roger that covered a yellow band with polka dots. During the battle with Shiki, however, wore a blue jacket. It is one of the few characters to trace the stereotypical pirate.
Later, during a flashback about the first meeting of Roger and Silvers Rayleigh, Roger is shown as a very young resembling Luffy and Ace, to the point of wearing the straw hat that Luffy has now.Apparently Roger had a strong bond with his comrades. Rayleigh, his right arm, called it “an extraordinary person.” Shanks and Buggy are reluctant precendenti days of his public execution. It is not known if any of them knew that Roger had a son before the Sengoku revealed to the whole world.

It has long been rival Whitebeard and has clashed repeatedly with the hero of the Navy Monkey D. Garp. As a last favor Roger asked Garp to take care of his son, Portgas D. Ace, avoiding that were persecuted just for the simple fact of being the son of the King of the Pirates.
In any case received great respect from his enemies, so that Whitebeard decided to adopt Ace to protect it, and when Ace told him to be the son of Roger did not speak ill of the parent, but simply told him that in reality all the pirates are the children of the sea . Before dying Roger found time to talk at length with Whitebeard first and then with Garp.
Rouge was the mistress of Roger. It is not known if the two were married, nor how the two had met. He died with the birth of Ace because of a pregnancy lasted twenty months sustained in order to prevent detection by the World Government. He gave his son the name “Gol D. Ace”, and that they will respect the will of the pirate and want to pass on his name.
Ace was the son of Roger. As Roger did not want it to be persecuted because of the sins of his father, he asked Garp to raise him secretly. Ace, however, hated his father.
Despite this hatred from the family point of view, Ace respected him as a man and as a pirate and attacking (and defeat) anyone who dared speak ill of him. This probably happened because often these people were talking as the devil about a hypothetical son of Roger, without knowing that it was the same Ace. Dadan has realized that Ace had the same character of the parent after asking him why he did not flee from Bluejam. The main feature that united the two was to have no pity for those who had abused their loved ones.

Before he died, Roger was called “Pirate King” not only for the fact that he was the only one to fully explore the new world reaching Raftel, but also because of its enormous power. Only two people were able to keep up with him in battle; Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp, who despite his advanced age still possesses superhuman strength, and his friend and rival Edward Newgate, Whitebeard said, that he could count on the powers of the Gura Gura fruit. Another example of its power is the fact that he fought and defeated Shiki, although it possessed the largest fleet of the time.

Roger was also able to “read” the Poneglyphs and write in that ancient language. In fact the ability to understand the message conveyed by Poneglyphs stemmed from its ability to “hear” the voice of things. In fact, behind the admission of his right arm, Silver Rayleigh, they were not in possession of such archaeological knowledge to decipher the ancient records of the past.

Born in Rogue Town in the East Sea, Roger did what seemed to be an impossible task for anyone – win the Grand Line. It seems that it has taken time to win his fame, since Brook remembers him as a rookie. Before forming a crew met Silvers Rayleigh, a young man who lived in a boat that had stolen after his house was burned down. Roger said that it was a sign of destiny and asked Rayleigh to become friends.

Twenty-six years before the beginning of the adventure of Luffy (that is, four years before the death of the King of the Pirates), Roger discovered to suffer from an incurable disease. Nevertheless, he decided to take a trip with his buddies along the Grand Line. Reached the beacon of Reverse Mountain recruited Crocus as ship’s doctor in order to control his disease until completion of the crossing.
Their journey took them to Skypiea and Water Seven where the builder Tom built for him and his crew the Oro Jackson.
Two of the strongest enemies that Roger found himself facing in his adventures were Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp and the pirate Edward “Whitebeard” Newgate. The first put him in trouble many times and was always about to catch it but never succeed, while the second was his most bitter rival to win the title of King of the Pirates. It is said that Whitebeard was the only man who could stand up to him in combat.
On route to Raftel, Roger met Shiki, the pirate steering wheel, which had found that Roger knew the location of the ancestral weapon and wanted propose to join forces. With the weapon of Roger and the fleet of Shiki, the Golden Lion was believed that the two could rule the world. Roger refused the offer, saying that his only wish was to be free to do what he wanted. Shiki then decided to declare war and the two captains prepared for a big fight.
Due to a sudden storm unleashed on the site of the battle, half of Shiki ship sank. Despite this, and despite Shiki got stuck a piece of the rudder head, enough to risk killing him, Roger earned his respect.
Before dying Roger met with Whitebeard and the two spoke of the will of D. and its meaning.

Having failed in his business, Roger gained more fame, wealth and power than was humanly possible. Even while people called him “Pirate King”, however, was aware of his poor health. Seeing approaching its end secretly disbanded his crew. He said that he would not die in Rayleigh and surrendered to the Navy. A few days before his death he asked Garp to take care of her son, for the reason that the sins of the father should not fall on the children, and although Garp said he had no obligation to him, Roger realized that l ‘would.

Thinking That he could make him an example to deter others and follow the path of piracy, the Navy organized His public execution in Rogue Town. Before he died he said the famous phrase That lit the spark in the whole world giving way to the “great age of piracy”, Also called by some the ” age of dreams “.

 

The mystery of D. was presented for the first time when a reader asked Oda what it meant this in the name of the D. Luffy. Oda replied that he would reveal in due course.
The first character to speak of the will of D. is Dr. Kureha, in the kingdom of Drum. In this circumstance also reveals that the real name of Gold Roger was Gol D. Roger. Shortly after, at Alabasta, it’s time for Nico Robin, who asks what it means to the D. Luffy to discover that even the guy in the know.
Robin speaks of the will of D. other times. A Skypiea discusses with Gan Fall and argues that Luffy and Roger, both carriers of D., have many things in common. The third occurs at Sabaody, when asked what it means to the D. Silvers Rayleigh and how it is linked to the centenary of the great void. On this occasion Rayleigh admits to know what happened in the dark century, however, arguing that its interpretation might be wrong because he, a pirate, does not possess the knowledge that distinguished archaeologists of Ohara.
Trafalgar Law also commented on two occasions the will of D., saying that in the future it will cause more chaos.
According to the stars of the D. wisdom is synonymous with danger. Even Don Quijote Rocinante, in the past, said that for those who live in Mariejois people with the letter D in the name represent a danger to the point that in the past was used for the reference to D. terrorize civilians as referring to the “monsters”. They are even called “the enemies of the gods”, in reference to its noble world.

 

Gomu Gomu no Gigant Pistol (ゴムゴムの巨人の銃（ギガント･ピストル） Gomu Gomu no Giganto Pistoru, literally meaning “Rubber Rubber Giant Pistol”): Luffy delivers a Gomu Gomu no Pistol with extreme force due to the larger size of his fist. This was first fully seen being used against Rob Lucci. Its sheer power was able to fling him from the Bridge of Hesitation on to a Buster Call Battleship. In the Viz Manga, FUNimation dub, and FUNimation subs, this is called Gum-Gum Giant Pistol.
