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 have 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.

Notable Attacks/Techniques
Haki: There are normally two types of Haki regular people can tap into: the Kenbunshoku Haki which allows individuals to sense the presence of others, and Busōshoku Haki which allows individuals to create an invisible armor around them. There is however a third type of Haki, Haōshoku Haki, that only a few individuals can use. Roger is one of these people.
- Observation Haki: He's one of the few users of the rare ability that allows its users to hear 'The Voice of All Things' like Luffy.
- Armament Haki: Roger's one of the best Armament users shown to date, able to imbue his sword with Haki with Ryuo. Therefore, he's able to use the rest of the abilities that come with its use.
- Conqueror's Haki: During his clash with Whitebeard 28 years ago they created a Conqueror's Clash that generated a massive air blast around the island they were fighting in, proving that Roger's Haki was strong enough to compete with Whitebeard's.
Divine Departure: Roger charges with his Cutlass in his hand and unleashes a horizontal Air slash at the opponent's stomach.
