One Piece: Oda Has Revealed The Most Dangerous Pirate Crew, And It’s Not The Rocks Pirates

by

This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.

As a die-hard fan of the One Piece universe, I can’t help but marvel at the multitude of formidable pirate crews that roam this expansive world. It was none other than the legendary Gol D. Roger who ignited the Great Pirate Age, filling this realm with extraordinary individuals like himself.

In the New World, particularly, it’s teeming with peril due to its infestation by pirates, each vying for the coveted One Piece. Among the multitude of these pirate groups, both established and emerging, there exists one that stands out as the most formidable of them all.

Oda Confirms The Roger Pirates To Be The Most Dangerous

  • The Roger Pirates Are The Only Crew To Conquer The Seas
  • The Roger Pirates Had Four Conqueror’s Haki Users

Among all the pirate crews that roam the seas in “One Piece”, it’s clear that the Roger Pirates are the ones to be most feared by the World Government. This doesn’t automatically mean they posed a direct threat to the world’s civilians, but rather their influence and power were significant enough to rattle the government.

While some predict that the Rocks Pirates will become the most dangerous, it’s important to note that the Rocks Pirates were not at their peak during Rocks’ leadership. Conversely, the public often overlooks Oden when comparing the Roger and Rocks Pirates, as he joined the crew after they had already set sail.

At the height of their power, the crew of the Roger Pirates boasted no less than four fighters capable of going toe-to-toe with Yonko, an exceptional feat indeed. Among these were the legendary Captain Roger, his first mate Rayleigh, the enigmatic Gaban, and the revered Oden. Each one was a formidable force to be reckoned with, and they all possessed the rare ability known as Conqueror’s Haki, making them truly extraordinary even in the unpredictable world of One Piece.

As a child, I often pondered: wouldn’t it be amazing to create a manga featuring the ultimate climax? I wasn’t sure if I was capable, but now, with just a little bit of the Wano arc remaining, my preparations are nearly complete. It’s been 25 years, can you believe it? But fear not, as we embark on this final stage together…it’s going to be One Piece! I’ll be unraveling the secrets of this world for you all! It promises to be an exhilarating ride, so hang on tight and join me for a little while longer! — Eiichiro Oda, Author of One Piece, 2022

The Roger Pirates held an overwhelming power that made them the most formidable crew, but their legacy is another factor to consider. The influence of the Rocks Pirates has faded; characters like Kaido, Whitebeard, Big Mom, Shiki, and others no longer hold significance in this context. However, it’s important to note that the two proteges of the Roger Pirates are now among the Yonko, demonstrating the profound impact of the Roger Pirates. The World Government even contemplated killing any pregnant woman on Baterilla because Roger frequently visited the island and could have potentially fathered a child there.

The Roger Pirates Know The Truth

One significant factor that sets the Roger Pirates apart from other crews, such as the Rocks Pirates, lies in their comprehensive understanding of global history. By uncovering the hidden truth about the World Government, they possess the power to tarnish its reputation and instigate a widespread rebellion. In fact, no one else, not even Rocks, could have achieved what Roger did. The only pirate crew that could potentially surpass the Roger Pirates in terms of danger is the Straw Hat Pirates.
