His goal is to become the world's greatest swordsman by defeating the current title holder, Dracule " Hawkeye" Mihawk. Proves wise at times, and questionably sane at others. He is the creator of the Three Swords Style of swordsmanship ("santoryu"), carrying one in each hand and one in his mouth. A cool, snarky, lazy former Bounty Hunter with an impossibly bad sense of direction and unbelievable super strength. To obtain his goal of becoming Pirate King, Luffy has assembled one of the strongest (not to mention weirdest) pirate crews in the world, consisting of: ![]() In fact, he plans to find the titular treasure and become the new "Pirate King." Said treasure was left by Gold Roger, the greatest pirate who ever lived and the previous Pirate King, and his dying words have spurred the world of One Piece into an age of piracy, as pirates from all around the world set sail for the Grand Line, the place where the One Piece is most likely hidden. ![]() He dreams of following in the footsteps of his childhood hero, Captain "Red-Haired" Shanks, by becoming a great pirate.

One Piece began as a manga series written by Eiichiro Oda since 1997, and in 1999, it was adapted into an ongoing popular anime series produced by Toei Animation. That's it for Roger, that's it for his character and for his storyline because he's about to die.Welcome to the best-selling single-author comic in the world, as acknowledged by the Guinness World Records themselves. We already had Luffy’s theme at that point, so when we were working on this scene, we were like, 'How about we reverse it so that there is that connection between the two characters, but then there is also a musical connection between these characters?'
