Vegapunk Predicts Luffy as the Next Pirate King!? | The Meaning Behind Revealing Gol D. Roger
The Meaning Behind Revealing Gol D. Roger
As I mentioned earlier, Vegapunk revealing the Pirate King’s full name, Gol D. Roger, seems related to the reason why Roger, despite knowing the truth of history, did not take any action.
Vegapunk, while questioning “why?”, likely already has an answer in his mind…
Though he has not confirmed it with Roger or his associates, it is probably his personal interpretation.
Given that Roger and his crew claimed they were “too early,” Vegapunk has likely reached the same conclusion.
One reason he might have reached this conclusion is the appearance of Nika in the modern era, 24 years after Roger’s death.
Since Nika, also a D, is now Luffy, Vegapunk probably has a deep understanding of the significance of Nika and believes that without Nika, the world would not change.
Additionally, Vegapunk seems to view the D’s not as a bloodline but as people who inherit a strong will.
He likely understands that Roger’s execution was a performance to convey his will to the future, similar to his current video message.
It also seems that Roger wanted to pass on his will to the scattered D’s around the world. According to Whitebeard, Teach, despite being a D, is not the pirate Roger was waiting for.
Roger probably wanted the future D’s to reach Laugh Tale on their own, learn the true history, and continue his will.
Both Roger and Vegapunk seem to have a role in informing the world of intentionally hidden truths.
They knew that revealing the true history without Nika would not lead to world change.
Shanks likely understands this significance as well…
