Summary

"Gold" Roger, real name Gol D. Roger, was a legendary pirate who lived twenty-two years ago. As a member of the Family of D bloodline, Roger conquered the Grand Line, while amassing a vast fortune, as he became known as the King of the Pirates. But Roger knew that he would soon die from an incurable disease, and disbanded his crew before turning himself in to be executed, while asking Monkey D. Garp to care for his son Portgas D. Ace.

The World Government intended to have Roger be publicly executed to discourage piracy, but his last words has the opposite impact. He stated that the next King of the Pirates would be the one who finds the concealed island of Raftel and acquires his legendary treasure One Piece. This started a new age of piracy.

His bounty prior to his death was 5,564,800,000.

Haki:
