Did Roger and His Crew Know the True Identity of the FIVE ELDERS? | A World Ruled by Monsters
A World Ruled by Monsters
38 years ago, Roger and his crew reached the island of Lodestar, and while it’s unclear if this was before or after the God Valley Incident, it’s likely that the events at God Valley had a significant impact on them.
While the battle with Rocks undoubtedly influenced Roger, the more shocking revelation was likely the true nature of the world.
Roger must have seen the forms of Saint Saturn and the Holy Knights, and if he did, he would have understood the true nature of those who ruled the world…
To Roger’s eyes, the Celestial Dragons, who claim to be gods, must have appeared as inhuman monsters, devoid of any humanity.
But why did Roger fight Rocks to protect the Celestial Dragons and their slaves?
Roger seemed to have a personal grudge against Rocks, which might have led him to inadvertently protect the Celestial Dragons and their slaves.
However, if, as Sengoku suggests, Garp felt conflicted about protecting the Celestial Dragons, it’s likely that Roger did too.
If Roger had seen the true forms of the FIVE ELDERS, he would have recognized that they weren’t worth protecting…
But perhaps Roger, even if he had allowed the FIVE ELDERS and Celestial Dragons to die then and there, understood that the world would not change and that the only way to truly overturn it was to sail around the world, reach the final island, and claim the treasure, thus fulfilling his dream…
Nevertheless, it’s likely that in Roger’s heart, the idea that those who ruled the world were “monsters” had firmly taken root.
That concludes this article. Thank you very much for reading!
