The Oro Jackson and its Roger crew was the most feared crew across all the seven seas.

He was also one of the very few people in the world who possessed the power to use all three types of Haki, which was one of the most important sources of his strength. He also sword fought against Whitebeard and was shown as equally as strong as Whitebeard during his prime. Not to mention, Roger was a tremendously skilled swordsman who literally bullied Oden so easily within mere moments. Roger is continually being expounded upon, and Luffy’s potential defeat in the next One Piece chapter may show readers just how far he is from attaining Roger’s legendary status.In terms of raw physical strength, Gol D Roger was beyond human levels of strong however that is normal in One Piece but somehow he broke even that barrier.Īn example of his strength could be shown when he overpowered even Kozuki Oden, and then battled to a stalemate with none other than Edward Newgate himself. Kaido also has yet to even show off his own Awakening, while Luffy on the other hand is about to lose steam entirely. With Kaido talking about how a powerful Devil Fruit is not enough to become Pirate King, it seems as if Luffy’s Awakening may have only been to set up his eventual failure. It seems as if now, more than ever, the raid on Onigashima is poised to fail. Now that Luffy is backed into a corner and seemingly only has one powerful attack left, Kaido defeating Luffy with a more powerful Haki would only serve to solidify this theme. It could also easily be setting up Luffy’s defeat at the hands of Kaido. This reveals that a strong Devil Fruit is not enough to conquer the seas. Roger’s lack of a Devil Fruit speaks volumes about how much distance Luffy has to cover in order to become the Pirate King. Though Luffy may be strong now, nothing indicates he has come even close to the levels of power required to contend with characters like Whitebeard in his prime. Roger’s Haki was able to compete with even these ridiculous powers. Whitebeard’s fruit was shown to be capable of tearing entire seas asunder at Marineford, and yet somehow Gol D. Roger was strong enough to dominate the top powers of the world, such as Whitebeard’s Quake Quake Fruit. This confirms that even without any extraneous powers, Gol D. Roger had no Devil Fruit power and still became the Pirate King all because of his overwhelmingly powerful Haki. He then goes on to finally confirm that Gol D. Kaido tells Luffy that strong Devil Fruit powers are not enough to become Pirate King. He amends this, however, by battering Luffy while explaining why a strong Devil Fruit power is not enough to seize control of the seas. In the midst of battle, Kaido reflects on Luffy’s growth as a Devil Fruit user, noting that he possesses an exceptionally powerful fruit. Now, in Chapter 1047 of One Piece, it's becoming clear that Luffy is running out of time.
