As Dr. Vegapunk is sharing the secrets of the Void Century and the Ancient Kingdom with the One Piece world. He has put an allegation on the former Pirate King Gol D. Roger and his crew, the Roger Pirates. According to Dr. Vegapunk, the Roger Pirates knew everything about the mysterious history of the world but still chose to stay silent about all this.
These allegations also raise the question: if the world is sinking and the World Government has one of the ancient weapons in possession, why were Roger and his crew laughing when they read the final message on Laugh Tale? Not only that, the former Pirate King’s desire to meet Joy Boy also remains questionable.
According to the One Piece theory, Roger’s laugh was not in relation to the events of the past but for what is destined to happen in the future as the next Joy Boy, who was already fated to be born in twenty years and make things right, which is why he was forced to surrender so the Pirate Era can begin and the next Joy Boy could lead the fight against the World Government.
One Piece Theory Explains the Reason Behind Roger Pirates Not Telling the Truth to the World
According to Artur – The Library of Ohara, even though the Roger Pirates knew that the world was going to sink, they could not have done anything about it. This is because the main elements (Ancient Weapon) that could have changed the scenario of the war were not yet ready to help with the fight, except for the one that is in the possession of the World Government.
Not only that, when Roger read the hidden truth of the world, he expressed a mysterious desire to meet Joy Boy. There is a possibility that instead of the Joy Boy of the past, Roger wanted to meet the Joy Boy of the future, who would bring peace to the world. This is supported by the fact that everyone who meets Luffy automatically trusts him and wants to become his ally, and he is proven to be the next Joy Boy.
Maybe Gol D. Roger incited the Pirate Era because it was his way of motivating the next Joy Boy to go on a journey and get ready for war against the World Government by gaining the rest of the ancient weapons. Thus validating Roger Pirates’ silence about the history of the One Piece world.
The Twisted Meaning Behind Gol D. Roger’s Laugh
As mentioned above, the theory states that Roger may not have expressed the desire to meet the Joy Boy of the past but of the future. Therefore, the reason behind his laugh could be something entirely different. According to the theory, Roger might have known about the ridiculous powers of Joy Boy and his weird abilities, which could have made him laugh.
If Luffy was the person that Roger wanted to meet, and he is the one who inherited the will of Joy Boy, Roger’s laugh is understandable. Also, it would prove that Roger’s death was the perfect motivation that gave rise to the pirate era and indirectly inspired Luffy to become a pirate and, ultimately, the King of Pirates.
All the coincidental events have aligned perfectly, and now all that is left is for Luffy to find out the entire truth and somehow save the world not only from sinking but from the tyranny of the World Government. He needs to be ready, as the final phase of One Piece has already started.
